McFarlane fixed a keen glance upon her. "Has he said anything to you? Did you come to an understanding?" Her eyes fell. "Not the way you mean, daddy; but I think he likes me. But do you know who he is? He's the son of W. W. Norcross, that big Michigan lumberman." McFarlane started. "How do you know that?" "Mr.
I have always been deeply interested in the preservation of the forests and a warm advocate of forest preservers. I made a study of the situation of the Appalachian Mountains, where the lumberman was doing his worst, and millions of acres of fertile soil from the denuded hills were being swept by the floods into the ocean every year.
McGinnis " began the boy when the lumberman interrupted him. "'Tis very sorry ye'll be if ye call me out of me right name. Sure I said McGinnis, jest plain McGinnis, not Misther McGinnis. Ye can call me 'Judge, or 'Doctor, or 'Colonel, or annything else, but I won't be called Misther by annyone."
"Yes!" cried Mollie, who had assisted Betty in catching the line, and taking a couple of turns about a strong cleat. "Oh, do please hurry and and save us!" panted Grace. "I will, miss. Don't be skeered," said their rescuer kindly. The girls could see that he was a burly lumberman, but no one they had ever met before, as far as any of them could remember. "I'll have you ashore soon," he added.
Whether I was brief or not, I was out of breath when I stopped. He appeared much surprised. "Thank you," he said, finally. "You certainly have been observant." Then he turned to his officers.

Encouraged somewhat by Peterson's words Dick continued to hold on, and a few minutes later the lumberman gave a cheering cry: "A steamer! Saved at last!" The lumberman was right; the freighter Tom and Sam had hailed was approaching, the castaways having been discovered by the aid of a marine glass. "A man and a boy," observed Captain Jasper to his mate.
"The farmer he sleeps in a cosy cot, With a roof above his head; The lumberman lies out under the stars, With the dew to soften his bed. But we'd not change our life so free For all the farmer's gold, Let clodhoppers snore at their ease o'nights, But we be lumbermen bold!" The river woke from its dreams. The river-guard, seated on piles of baulks by the waterside, shifted a little.
Flossie and Freddie looked at the big trunk which had crashed down. Then they saw Bert and Nan coming toward them. Next they looked up at the big lumberman. "Who are you?" asked Freddie. "That's just what I was going to ask you," replied the big man, with a laugh. "I think I can guess, though. You are the Bobbsey twins, aren't you?
Unhappily, the boy too caught sight of Stubby Mons, and called him by name. The lumberman stopped and pricked up his ears. "Did you hear anybody call?" he asked his companion. "N-n-n-n-aw, I d-d-d-d-didn't," answered Stuttering Peter. "There b-be lots of qu-qu-qu-qu-eer n-noises in the w-w-w-woods."
"Didn't you get a ragged cent from my daddy's real estate office about a month ago?" went on Russ in surprise. "It was in Pineville, where we live when we aren't visiting Grandma Bell. Did you get a ragged coat there?" "Pineville Pineville?" murmured the red-haired lumberman to himself, as if trying to remember. "Yes, I did tramp through there and Hold on!" he cried. "I remember now!
