And why, instead of writing music that would have been worth while if he hadn't been a deserter, he kept asking himself, hadn't he tried long ago to act, to make a gesture, however feeble, however forlorn, for other people's freedom? Half by accident he had managed to free himself from the treadmill. Couldn't he have helped others? If he only had his life to live over again.
Where a spring gushed forth and furnished water to the ships, Juan Fuller had his washhouse. Within a stone's throw was the grist mill of Daniel Sill where a mule turned, with the frequent interruptions of his balky temperament, a crude and ponderous treadmill. Grain laden ox-carts stood along the road before it.
"Well, we both start on our separate treadmill on Monday Black Monday, eh, Esther?" "Not at all," I retorted, for I was far too pleased and excited with my prospects to be damped by Carrie's want of enthusiasm.

In those taverns the old fashion prevailed of roasting great joints of meat on a turnspit before an open fire; and to keep the spit turning before the heat little dogs were trained to work in a sort of treadmill cage. In nothing is this colonial prosperity better revealed than in the quality of the country seats.

All that was in his mind, heart, and soul was to reach Crailey.
The treadmill of forest travel, changed only in outward form, again claimed their dogged patience. At noon they paused in the shelter of the woods. The dogs were anchored by the simple expedient of turning the sledge on its side. A little fire of dried spruce and pine branches speedily melted snow in the kettle, and that as speedily boiled tea.
