He pushed forward a chair, found a blanket for her feet, lighted the "Quick-heater" oil-stove on which he did his cooking. She followed him with her eyes, deeply glowing but vague and troubled. "This is not a station," she said. "No. It's my shack. Are you cold?" "Not very." She shivered a little. "You say that some one hurt you?" "Yes. They struck me. It made my head feel queer."
"I've resolved that on this job we're going to live like people who are permanently situated. That chest there is a fireless cooker. My own scheme. In it now vegetables and a beef roast are cooking, and they'll be ready by noon. I mean to make biscuits and bread and cakes and pies in my oil-stove oven, which is a dandy. I can arrange to do all that on the smoothest portions of the road.
"Shuck 'em," the Captain replied. Mr. Daddles still looked puzzled. "Take 'em out of the shells," explained Jimmy. While the Captain worked over the clams, he had an oil-stove lighted down in the cabin, and he tried out some pork. Ed Mason hunted up a pail of fresh milk and some crackers, while I washed and peeled the potatoes. In about half an hour the dinner was ready.
And these two bitter flames of shreds of things stand all their watches and answer all calls for both watches. Yes; and the chickens have something of this same spunk of life in them. Featherless, semi-frozen despite the oil-stove, sprayed dripping on occasion by the frigid seas that pound by sheer weight through canvas tarpaulins, nevertheless not a chicken has died.

It was a great, tapestried chamber, dusky in the early candle-light, furnished with heavily carved chairs and chests, and a huge, four-posted bed. In a distant corner stood a man bending over a tiny oil-stove, and stirring the contents of a steaming dish that stood thereon.
Finally, "Why, it depends on how much music you can make with them. If they are really good, I should want one, of course." Rankin smiled, drew a long breath, and fell sober again as if at a sudden thought. "I don't see any oil-stove," said the girl, skeptically, looking about her. "Oh, I have a regular kitchen. It's there," he nodded back of him; "and two rooms beside for me and for Dr.
He had forbidden Chuma to make a fire in the kitchen stove until the chimney, what was left of it, had been repaired, directed him to bring down-stairs the oil-stove Isabel had bought for the old rheumatic's comfort, and cook breakfast upon it.
"No oil," said George, with a significant look; and Harris and I agreed. We had taken up an oil-stove once, but "never again." It had been like living in an oil-shop that week. It oozed. I never saw such a thing as paraffine oil is to ooze.
Loneway an' I was sittin' in the kitchen while the doctor was in the other room with her. I went there evenin's all the time by then the young fellow seemed to like to hev me. We was keepin' warm over the oil-stove because the real stove was in her room, an' the doctor come in an' stood over him.
But I haven't my little oil-stove, so I fear I shall eat mostly cold things. I have a pail of milk, a loaf of bread, a ginger-cake, some butter, some eggs, some bacon, some apples and some radishes; also a tooth-brush, a comb, a change of clothing, two handkerchiefs, some pencils and paper, Prometheus Bound, Prometheus Unbound, Samson Agonistes, faith, hope, and charity!
