The boys were talking about the recent happening, when, as they came from a little clump of trees, they saw Alice and Kittie, with the two boys who, according to the lumberman, had set the trap. "Here's where I tackle 'em," said Will. "Go easy, old man," advised Allen. "Say, what do you fellows mean by setting that bear trap on our land?" cried Will, hotly, as he advanced toward the two lads.
To look at the man it would not have been easy to attribute any just notion of the claims of religion to him. He looked as if all his motions, except those of physical strength, were vapid and paltry. Still, this was what he said, and Bates replied stiffly: "I've no objections." Then, as if assuming proper position for the ceremony that was to ease his mind, the big lumberman sat down.
A few minutes later Appleton stamped into the cook-shack. "Did you find him, Daddy?" he asked. The old man shook his head. "He ain't in th' camp," he muttered. "He tuk Jack's gun whilst he slep' an' ut's huntin' he's gone Lard hilp um!" "Where is Bill?" the lumberman inquired. "Av ye're quick, ye may catch um in th' office av ye ain't Oi'm thinkin' ye niver will foind um.
A wandering lumberman from County Kerry had drifted up the Saguenay into the Lake St. John region, and married the daughter of a habitant, and settled down to forget his own country and his father's house. But every visible trace of this infusion of new blood had vanished long ago, except the name; and the name itself was transformed on the lips of the St. Geromians.
This was the first time any of the Sherwoods had seen him since the day of the big storm and the fire in the sawdust. Nan ran out immediately to speak to the old lumberman; but Toby was calling for Uncle Henry: "Hey, Hen! Hen Sherwood! Come out yere," he cried. Uncle Henry halloaed from the stables, and came striding at the call. Nan reached the old rattletrap wagon first. "Oh, Mr.
Here's you a good man, and Ross a good man, and you cannot work in harmony because of little things. The Government and the private owner should conduct business together for the best utilization of all raw material " "Merker," broke in Bob, with a kindly twinkle, "you're a Utopian." "Mr. Orde," returned Merker with entire respect, "you're a lumberman."
We're two of the six little Bunkers." "Oh, you're two of the six little Bunkers, are you?" asked the man. "Well, if the other four are as nice as you I'd like to see them. You say you came to see me?" "Yes, sir," answered Russ. "You're the lumberman, aren't you?" "Well, yes, I used to be a lumberman when I could get work at it," answered the man standing in the cabin door.
But, then, that robust gentleman had enjoyed and profited by many advantages of training and environment not shared by his less fortunate competitors. Born in the backwoods of Maine, he had been a lumberman, had shipped before the mast as seaman, driven a hack in Boston and a street-car in New York, had freighted on the Yukon, and it is possible that he may have driven a mule-team in Texas.
"When we move in " one of the children began. I shivered.... But of one thing I was certain. If the lumberman didn't move in, we would.... A certain Order came out of it all. A man should build something beside his house, while he is at it. It wasn't the lumberman who moved in.
Better waltz in while you got a chance. Why, there was Emmy, a tidy bit of flesh as women go, and we took to each other on the jump. But I kept a-chasin' pockets and chasin' pockets, and delayin'. And then a big black lumberman, a Kanuck, began sidlin' up to her, and I made up my mind to speak only I went off after one more pocket, just one more, and when I got back she was Mrs. Somebody Else.
