The other man was made all of tin, his arms and legs and head being cleverly jointed so that he could move them freely. He was known as the Tin Woodman, having at one time been a woodchopper, and everyone loved him because the Wizard had given him an excellent heart of red plush.
"Did you ever practise Gohomoeopathy?" the Birds inquired, winking faintly. The Cat took the hint and his leave. Mercury and the Woodchopper A Woodchopper, who had dropped his axe into a deep pool, besought Mercury to recover it for him. That thoughtless deity immediately plunged into the pool, which became so salivated that the trees about its margin all came loose and dropped out.
Next to knowing how to chop a tree is knowing what kind of a tree to chop. Different varieties possess entirely different qualities. The amateur woodchopper will note a great difference between chopping a second growth chestnut and a tough old apple tree.
"You're lucky it was no worse," remarked Bert, laughing also. "But as long as you two are all right, and the Bird isn't damaged, I'm glad." Mr. Bobbsey was also, and then he took the children into his sleigh, driving home with them while Uncle Jack turned back. "I like him," said Flossie, speaking of the old woodchopper to her father.
Apparently Maurice was in some sort of trouble, and as near as the boy on the shanty-boat could understand he had been attacked by some roving animal that had taken a fancy to try and assault the strange woodchopper. Thad jumped into the cabin and came out with the little Marlin in his hands; but then he realized how utterly impotent he was to give his beleaguered chum a helping hand just then.
Not only was the leg broken but the flesh had been badly lacerated, and he had lost a large amount of blood. It turned out just as Frank had said, for the woodchopper, after Sandy had run away to seek aid, had bethought himself of a way to stop some of the bleeding.
Ned swung up as close as the wagon road would allow, and presently the party had "disembarked," and were scampering through the woods toward the abandoned hut of an old woodchopper. "Great catch!" exclaimed Tom. "If there is one thing I like it is an outdoor hut with an indoor place on a cold day."
"We'll join each other in looking after him," went on Mr. Whipple. "You must let me pay half." And to this the children's father agreed. He said he would write back at once to his office, and tell some one there to look after the old woodchopper. "Is there any other news from Lakeport?" Mrs.
Then Flossie and Freddie told their story, and the woodchopper told of having seen them tossed into the snow and of how he helped them out, and then Mr. Bobbsey told what had happened to him, the children's mother, Bert and Nan. "I just pulled on the wrong rope, that's all, and I guess I steered the boat crooked," said Freddie with a laugh.
"I don't like that boat!" cried Flossie. "How would you like to ride on a sled?" asked the woodchopper. "In a sled drawn by a horse with jingling bells?" "That would be fine!" cried Freddie, clapping his hands. "But where is he the horse, I mean?" "Oh, out in my little stable. I built a small stable, as well as this cabin, for I have to haul my wood into town to sell it.
