The daughter at Moisio is well known too; none carries her head so high, and a tender glance from her eyes is more than any of the young men round can boast of having won. Kyllikki is her name and no one ever had such a name at least, folk say there's no such name in the calendar. The lumbermen's rearguard had come to Kohiseva.
I'll give ye five thousand dollars bonus smack down in your fist and promise you in the name of the Lumbermen's Association a steady job. We're goin' to build three big dams along the West Branch and a four-mile canal cut-off at headwaters. You'll find work enough, if that's what you're lookin' for." "And you'll be looking for me to sell out your interests at my first opportunity," said Parker.
It surprised him like; he stumbled forward, and the other stepped out and laid the hoe over his head. It missed him mostly, but enough landed to knock Allen over. He rolled into the ditch, like, by the road; and then Hatburn jumped down on him, deliberate, with lumbermen's irons in his shoes." David was conscious of an icy flood pouring through him; a revulsion of grief and fury that blinded him.
All in favor of spending the two weeks' additional vacation out in camp back of the lumbermen's diggings say ay!" The two newcomers looked at each other as if trying to grasp the immensity of the proposition; then they pulled off their hats, and giving a shout threw them into the air while both roared the affirmative word: "Ay!" Jerry looked at Will, with a broad smile of delight on his face.
The spell upon the man is weakened, but it is not gone. He staggers to his feet, and half an hour later is in the lumbermen's camp again. But he comes in like one insane pallid of face and muttering. His comrades, startled by his appearance, ply him with questions, receiving only incoherent answers.
As the weeks passed and March gave way to April, and April drew toward its close, the lumbermen's work grew more and more arduous; but they kept at it bravely until at last, near the end of April, the snow became so soft in the woods and the roads so bad that no more hauling could be done, and the whole attention of the camp was then given to getting the logs that had been gathering at the river-side all through the winter out upon the ice, so that they might be sure to be carried off by the spring floods.
There is a howl of rage and agony, and a gaunt gray figure leaps upward and falls quivering across the form of the child. The child is lifted from the ground unhurt. The great hound has by the throat the old wolf dead! The man in the lumbermen's camp has leaped from his bunk. His appearance is something ghastly. His comrades spring forward to restrain him, but he throws them off.
'There's hundreds of years of lumbering in the Bytown district alone, said he; 'why, sir, it alone comprehends sixty thousand square miles of forest. There could hardly be a wider contrast than between Captain Argent's usual dinner at his regimental mess, and that of which he now partook in the lumbermen's shanty. 'Your men seem to be temperance folk, observed Argent to the foreman.
The rubber, being waterproof, holds in the perspiration and we often find our stockings damp even when the walking is dry. Rubber boots also make our feet tender and cause cold feet. Tight shoes are also bad for the reason that they check circulation. The best footwear for a boy who lives in the country will be Indian moccasins or shoepacs worn with several pairs of lumbermen's woollen stockings.
Slowly the river flowed; the waves plashed, and the reeds swayed lightly. Green pine woods on one shore: the other was field and meadow, with a road running through a little distance from the bank. A girl came walking down the road, casting an anxious glance now and again towards the river. She stopped. A boom lay out in the river, lumbermen's poles were strewn about on the farther bank.
