"It's the sight of my eyes I wish I had in the light of the sun this mornin'. Tell me, what is't you see?" "I see the trees on the foot-hills, and all the branches shine with frost. There is a path so wide! between two groves of pines. On Whiteface Mountain lies a glacier-field . . . and all is still." . . . "The voice of you is far-away-like, Pierre it shivers as a hawk cries.
Whiteface now commanded Sultana to help him down, and she raised her trunk, wrapped it around his body and lowered him to the ground. The crowd of boys and girls who had pushed up as close as they could made way for him, while Jerry and his mother climbed down the ladder the elephant trainer placed for them, followed by Danny and Chris. "Mother!" called Celia Jane.
Whiteface appeared spirited, yet gentle. He had been trained instead of being broken. Of hard hits and quirts and spurs he had no experience. He liked to do what his rider wanted him to do. A hundred or more horses grazed in the grassy meadow, and as Jean rode on among them it was a pleasure to see stallions throw heads and ears up and whistle or snort.

It won't be many months before another payment becomes due." "I hope to be ready to meet it, squire," said the farmer, not appearing at all anxious.
"Do you remember any one taking you away?" asked the beautiful lady who was now his mother. "No'm," replied Jerry. "Say, Mother, Gary," pleaded her low, beautiful voice close to his ear. "No, Mother," Jerry repeated obediently. "Try to think awfully hard," said Whiteface; "was there a man with a big mark across his forehead " "A red mark?" interrupted Jerry eagerly. "Yes!" cried his mother.
"You're not big enough to weigh much and I'm littler than you are." "I think I can tell near enough," said Whiteface; "Danny weighs about sixty pounds and Chris about forty. That makes one hundred pounds and I weigh one hundred and sixty-five. Helen, how much do you weigh?" "A hundred and twenty pounds," she answered. "I never can remember that.
Walter drove over Whiteface, at his father's request; but he came near crying, stout boy as he was, at the loss of the faithful animal which his father had reared from a calf.
