But look as he would, he could see no further sign of a trespasser. Of course that was no sign the unknown might not be within twenty feet of them, right then. The tall piles of lumber offered splendid hiding-places if any one was disposed to take advantages of the nooks; Jack had explored many a snug hole, when roaming through the yard at various times, and ought to know about it. "Oh!
Ultimately the trespasser leaves the matter to the dog, who appears gratified and starts straight for where she stands. Dogs always do, says she to herself. But there is the haw-haw fence between them. The dog stops. Not because of the obstacle what does he care for obstacles? but because of the courtesies of life.
Presently there apppeared at her side, a large man, holding a pail in his left hand. "What is it, dearie?" he asked. "What's all the fun and chattering about?" "Tee, tee, azy boy," and she pointed with a fat little finger to the corner of the barn floor. By this time Dan had leaped to his feet, and stood confronting the man. He felt that he was a trespasser, and perhaps he would be punished.
I have been present when a trespasser of the looser class, has received, a rebuke, I might say a castigation, well deserved, and not readily forgotten.
Weaver, deep in apple culture, and she thought she could get rid of the trespasser before he returned. Mrs. Gorham was in the kitchen putting up peaches. Her voice came with droning, old-fashioned sweetness through the screen door. "When I can read my title dear To mansions in the skies, I'll bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes."

Then Barbara called to her maid, Betty, and bid her catch the mischievous hen.
The music passed smoothly into a waltz, and Hetty and her bad boy kept the floor, regardless of shouts and protests warning the trespasser that his time was up and the game in other hands. Three times they circled the room; they looked neither to right nor left; their eyes were upon each other. The men were all on their feet, the music playing madly.
"Oh, I quite understand," said the Indian, speaking, to Rube's surprise, in very good English. "Your words are clear as the sunlight. It is only their meaning that I do not seize. You speak of trespass. I am not a trespasser. For long, long years many generations my people have had their hunting grounds, have put up their lodges, and lived and died in these same forest glades.
If anybody, be he President of the United States or be he a police officer, chooses to lay his hand on our shoulder or attempts to confine us, we have the same right to try him, if he makes a mistake, as if he were a mere trespasser; and that applies just as much to the highest authority, to the president, to the general of the army, to the governor, as it does to a tramp.
Hold a turkey nawthin'. He couldn't even hold his breath, but had tuh give a yell like he was killed." Indeed, they were all of pretty much the same opinion. No matter how brave a fellow the trespasser might be, when he met with such a sudden and unexpected upheaval as that running noose brought about, his wits were bound to desert him for the time being at least.
