"I'll send your axe back with the first trainload of logs from my camp, Colonel," he called to Pennington. Once more he strode away into the timber. Her uncle was right. He was not of their kind of people, and it was well she had discovered this before permitting herself to develop a livelier feeling of friendship for him.
Every furrow that is plowed is plowed for her; every tree that is planted is planted for her; every crop that is harvested is harvested for her; and every trainload of grain is moving toward her as its destination. But for her, farm machinery would be silent, orchards would decay, trains would cease to move, and commerce would be no more.
"You're some wizard, old man!" he exclaimed, with a warmth hitherto never known by him for already the subtle gas was beginning to intoxicate his senses. "And you can handle nitrogen with the same ease and precision?" "Exactly," answered Herzog. "This other vial contains pure nitrogen. With enlarged apparatus, I can supply it by the trainload. The world's fertilizer problem is solved!"
Of the two coffee urns kept filled in readiness for the rush in serving a trainload of passengers, only one was now heated. Kate stepped to the urns, murmuring as if to herself: "I know nothing about these." "I don't either," he said. From the nearer urn Kate drew a cup of coffee; it was very cold but she pushed it with a jug of cream and a bowl of sugar, toward him. "A teaspoon, please?"
"But what do you know about it?" "Till two days ago nothing," replied Jack, "but now I believe that I know where there is a trainload of it." "Good heavens, boy, you don't know what you're talking about. Why, the stuff is as valuable as valuable as radium. Possibly it is worth more."
This unofficial truce had lasted about twenty minutes, and succeeded more in restoring good humor and joy of life among our soldiers than a trainload of provisions would have done. It was one of the incidents that helped to relieve the monotony of trench life and was heartily welcomed by all of us.
How it was all managed was a mystery to me, for there was not enough food in Furnes to feed a tame cat, let alone a trainload of famished soldiers, and I am looking anxiously for her next book in the hopes of finding the solution. The trains themselves were well equipped, though nothing to the hospital trains of England.
While waiting for the train to appear at either end, the gallant little gunboat shelled a small blockhouse, and in time disabled it. Then she steamed back to the fleet and reported that she had "wrecked a trainload of troops and dismantled a blockhouse." When she left for her station again she was applauded by the whole squadron.
Since that day when I came upon the first trainload of Belgian soldiers near Calais, weary as lame dogs after their retreat, I had seen an interminable procession of fugitives from that stricken country and heard from them the tale of Alost, Louvain, Termonde and other towns where only horror dwelt above incinerated stones and scraps of human flesh.
As a usual thing, all hands, with the exception of the brakeman, engineers, and fireman, are singing, weeping or fighting drunk." "But why do you provide transportation for them to come to town Saturday nights?" Shirley protested. "They ride in on the last trainload of logs, and if we didn't let them do it, they'd ask for their time. It's the way of the gentle lumberjack.
