Few courts of domestic relations are without some wives as regular patrons who pursue their husbands not for gain but for sport. For the most part, however, the wives of such men are philosophical. "I only wash for meself now," said one of them. These men, and the unreclaimed deserters, doubtless make up a large part of the floating population of homeless men in our large cities.
As they ascended, the plain unfolded like a map below; harvest fields, pastures of feeding cattle or sheep, meadows of alfalfa, unreclaimed reaches of sage-brush, and, far off among her shade-trees, the roofs of Ellensburg reflecting the late sun. Above the opposite range that hemmed the valley southward some thunder-heads crowded fast towards a loftier snow-peak.
I hold that the more arid and unreclaimed the soil where the Christian labourer's task of tillage is appointed him the scantier the meed his toil brings the higher the honour. His, under such circumstances, is the destiny of the pioneer; and the first pioneers of the Gospel were the Apostles their captain was Jesus, the Redeemer, Himself." "Well?" I said, as he again paused "proceed."
If he left the Emperor's northeastern dominions unreclaimed and failed to rescue the Company from its precarious condition, he hardly should care to return to St. Petersburg.
I spoke awhile back of the existence of beavers in the tule country. Elk and grizzly bears used also to abound here, and I am told that on the unreclaimed lands elk are still found, though the grizzlies have gone to the mountains.
Now, for the first time to-night, the moon shone fully out from her veil of cloud, casting a flood of silver radiance, and showing him a scene in white and black, still and clear as a steel engraving, of a beauty so unimagined and grand that it seemed a little awful. It gave him a sudden respect for the unreclaimed, seldom-trodden region to which his craving for adventure had brought him.
Nature, in the sense in which Edmund uses that term, is not this poet's goddess, or his LAW; though he regards 'the plague of CUSTOM' and 'the curiosity of nations, and all their fantastic and arbitrary sway in human affairs, with an eye quite as critical though he looks at 'that old Antic, the law, as he expresses it elsewhere, with an eye quite as severe, on the world's behalf, as that which Edmund turns on it, on his own; he is very far from contending for the freedom of that savage, selfish, unreclaimed, spontaneous nature, that lawless nature, to which the natural son of Gloster claims 'his services are due. The poet teaches that the true and successful Social Art is, and must be scientific.
"He could have bought the finest fruit ranch in the valley, all under irrigation and coming into bearing, for he had the money, but he went to wasting it on that piece of unreclaimed sage desert. And now that he has got it all in shape, he's talking of opening a big farm in Alaska." Banks laughed uneasily. "The boys need it up there," he said in his high key.
At any rate, no one seemed to care. It all had the look of No Man's Land, unreclaimed and unreclaimable. For a little while nothing was said. Out of a clear sky the sun beat down upon the car and the brown sand of the narrow road.
To this day, perhaps, he is not quite sure of certain things. Anyhow, he took longer to "find himself." Simpson, the student of divinity, it was who arranged his conclusions probably with the best, though not most scientific, appearance of order. Out there, in the heart of unreclaimed wilderness, they had surely witnessed something crudely and essentially primitive.
