There, as he wades, he sees a hundred sights and hears a hundred tones, which are hidden from the traveller on the dusty highway above. The traveller fancies that he has seen the country. So he has; the outside of it, at least: but the angler only sees the inside.

They take a large splinter of wood about a foot in length, strong in the middle, and sharpened at both ends; to this they tie a long and tough cord. The man who intends to fight the crocodile takes this piece of wood in his right hand, and goes into the river, where he wades till one of these creatures perceives him.

Wade and the little Wades were coming, much less mentioned that she had invited them. Yet this Dick tried to consider no lapse on her part, for often and often, like himself, she had guests whose arrival was the first he knew of their coming. It was, however, evident that Mrs. Wade was not coming that day, else Paula would not be running away thirty miles up the valley.

Once he is there when a big boy wades back from the middle pier, where he has been to rob a goose's nest; he has some loose silver change in his wet hand, and my boy understands that it has come out of one of the goose eggs.

You've no doubt heard of a bell wether?" "I have," spoke up Tad. "That's what Billy is. He leads the sheep. They will follow a leader almost anywhere. In crossing a stream Billy wades in without the least hesitation and they cross right over after him. Otherwise we should have great difficulty in getting them over." "Oh, yes, I know a goat. Had one once," replied Stacy. "Does he butt?"

Maybe I can convert you to reading old books; they're often full of things that people in your line should know." "Lady," he said reverently, "you've made a true believer of me already." We were sitting at a corner table in a certain small restaurant hard by where Sixth Avenue's L structure, like an overgrown straddlebug, wades through the restless currents of Broadway at a sharpened angle.

The higher the civilization has risen, the more abject is the desolation of barbarism that ensues. The most melancholy spot in the Adirondacks is not a tamarack-swamp, where the traveler wades in moss and mire, and the atmosphere is composed of equal active parts of black-flies, mosquitoes, and midges.

Only I want to impress upon you, Casey, that they must walk ahead of us unless it gets very dark, indeed." "I think I get you," he laughed. "We'll arrange that detail. Kitty Wade is a most sympathetic young matron." They found the Wades, and their evening stroll became an inspection of the ranch. The effects of the rain were already visible in the colour of the grain.

Lord Ferriby heard, however, with some uneasiness, that the Wades were in The Hague. "A worthy man a very worthy man," he said abstractedly; for he looked upon the banker with that dim suspicion which is aroused in certain minds by uncompromising honesty. The travellers proceeded to the hotel, where rooms had been prepared for them.

The Wades were very strict church-members. Such a thing as card playing was not to be thought of, and dancing was just as bad. Both were worldly amusements whose feet took hold on hell. We have lost this strictness now, and sometimes I wonder if we have not lost our religion too. The Wades were certainly religious that is the Governor and Mrs. Wade.
