Ferris's sleigh-bells sounded lonely, and nobody was met or overtaken to whom he could brag of his success. Now and then he looked back with joy to the hill behind the Packer house, where the assailed pine-trees still stood together, superb survivors of an earlier growth.
They asked his mother if she had heard of the effects of altitude upon highly sensitive organizations. They recounted some instances I will mention them later. One of the boys is a lawyer, isn't he? They are a pair of ingenious youths. Bogardus, they claim, avoided them almost from the time they entered the woods, almost lived with the packer, behaved like a crank about the shooting.
"Dear me!" she murmured after a sip. "What is it now?" asked Cynthia. "Perfect, my dear. Such a bouquet! I wonder what house it came from," and she pondered the crest again, but in vain, for heraldry is an exact science, and the greater part of her education had been given by a hard world. She did not fail, therefore, to notice that three persons were catered for by the packer of the basket.
Tinker," he cried, despairingly, "we shall have to change some of these people. I can't act with Mr. Tinker! Where's Mr. Tinker? Mr. Tinker! My soul! He's gone! He always is gone when I want him! I wonder how many men would bear what I " But here he interrupted himself unexpectedly. "Go on with the rehearsal! Packer, where were we?"

"Right in his facts, my lord. It is glebe, and is marked so here very plainly. There should have been a reference to us, there should, indeed, my lord. Packer, and men like him, really know nothing. The truth is, in such matters nobody knows anything. You should always have documentary evidence." "And it is glebe?" "Not a doubt of it, my lord."
The crowd dispersed, horror-stricken; but it assembled again that night before the sheriff's domicile and expressed its indignation in groans. His effigy, hanged on a miniature gallows, was afterwards paraded through the streets. "Be the name of Thomas Packer A reproach forevermore!"
The pack-horse was the first, and for a long time the only, method of carrying on trade in the backwoods; and the business of the packer was one of the leading frontier industries. The settlers worked hard and hunted hard, and lived both plainly and roughly.
The men packing the wool took one of the burlap bags, fitted its mouth over a wooden hoop just the right size, and fastened the bag inside the frame in such a way that it hung its full length and just cleared the floor. Then the packer began tossing wool into the sack. When it was about half-full he jumped into it and tramped the fleeces down solidly.
Don't be all day. Cameron, fall behind with me." Little Thunder seized the leading line of the first packer, leaped astride his own pony, and pushed out into the storm. But the rest of the animals held back and refused to face the blizzard. The traditions of the cayuse are unheroic in the matter of blizzards and are all in favor of turning tail to every storm that blows.
