He served thereafter in the shop a full two years and had a beard coming so the story runs before he would again venture beyond the third turning of the passage; to the stunting of his scholarship, for the deeper books lay in the farther windings. Or it may appear credible that in ages past a jealous builder contrived the place.

These animals browse upon the terminal buds and the tender branches, thereby stunting, if they do not kill, the young trees, and depriving them of all beauty and vigor of growth. Forest Fires. All the treatises on sylviculture are full of narratives of forest fires.
