"But if mother can mend a broken leg, she can fix a broken wing, can't she?" "Maybe," admitted her brother. "Oh, there's the bird again, Jan!

Scranton was one of the few places where the boys still yearned after a goodly supply of freshly gathered nuts to carry them through a long and severe winter. Somehow they vied with one another in the gathering of the harvest of the woods, and often these outings yielded considerable sport, besides being profitable to the nutters.
