Then there were the Commons: a wide expanse of open fields, where the cows were pastured, and the boys flew their kites, and ran races, and practised for their circuses in the tan-bark rings of the real circuses.
The provisions of law in reference to sawmills and wood-pulp mills are defective and should be changed so as to prohibit dumping dye-stuff, sawdust, or tan-bark, in any amount whatsoever, into the streams. Reservoirs should be made, but not where they will tend to destroy large sections of the forest, and only after a careful and scientific study of the water resources of the region.
Yet never had his mind been further from the present work than it was this afternoon. Had Bert Dodge known more of what Prescott had seen as the former lay for that instant on the tan-bark, Dick's enemy would have fallen from his horse in a delirium of fear. For, as Bert fell in the center of the tan-bark the left sleeve of his coat had been pushed back, exposing the white linen cuff.
No ostentation; just an explanatory report circulated in a subdued sort of way and perhaps a strip of tan-bark down on the road outside the hotel eh? I know how to do it. It'll pay, I tell you. And there'll be no publicity " I laid my head upon the table and groaned.
I wished that the human side of it could have been more unquestionably adequate, but the equine side of the event was perfect. Still, I felt a certain relief, as in something innocent and simple and childlike, in the next event. This was the inundation of the tan-bark with troops of pretty Shetland ponies of all ages, sizes, and colors.
As there was plenty of time, they drove through Shawnee Park and along the bluff overlooking the Ohio River creeping sluggishly past. Then they turned, and went a short mile to the entrance to the Ferry. Parking the car, they went in, Mr. Culver bringing the hamper of supper. The Ferry is a very large place and every foot of it is covered with tan-bark, smooth and brown and springy.
Poor John! he thought: the same uncouth-looking effort of humanity that he had been at Yale. No wonder the Northern boys jeered him, with his sloth-ways, his mouthed English, torpid eyes, and brain shut up in that worst of mud-moulds, belief in caste. Even now, going up and down the tan-bark, his step was dead, sodden, like that of a man in whose life God had not yet wakened the full live soul.
The sides of the buildin' are made of slabs, with the bark took off, and the roof is thatched with tan-bark and other barks. The winder-frames are made in the same rustic, wooden way. The main entrances are made of different kinds of wood, cut and carved first-rate.
No company officer in the infantry mounted; only the field and staff officers of the doughboys are provided with mounts. One cloudy Friday afternoon Cadet Corporal Haskins marched a yearling detachment down to the riding hall. Captain Hall, their instructor, was already in saddle. He turned to receive the report of Haskins after the detachment had been halted at the edge of the tan-bark.
Taking the purse, Sara performed the commission and returned. "For how long?" she asked. "Two weeks. One week is almost over." This was all Greek to Hester. She looked from one to the other; but they, taking it for granted that all the school world understood, offered neither explanation nor information. As they crossed the tan-bark, Mame Cross met them.
