When I grew up, I too became a woodchopper, and after my father died I took care of my old mother as long as she lived. Then I made up my mind that instead of living alone I would marry, so that I might not become lonely. "There was one of the Munchkin girls who was so beautiful that I soon grew to love her with all my heart.

Instead he looked at the children's father and asked: "Do you know this old woodchopper very well?" "I have seen him a number of times," said Mr. Bobbsey, "and he often comes to my house with loads of wood. The children know him, too. I have told you how he helped Freddie and Flossie out of the snow bank and took them to his cabin."

I know of only one tin person, and that is Nick Chopper, the Tin Woodman; and there will never be but one Patchwork Girl, for any magician that sees you will refuse to make another one like you." "I suppose we shall see the Tin Woodman, for we are going to the Country of the Winkies," said the boy. "What for?" asked the woodchopper. "To get the left wing of a yellow butterfly."

Leaving Cassidy behind, he spurred his bay to a walloping gallop, aiming for the northern confines of the park, and as he travelled, he spread the alarm, gathering up for the man-chase such recruits as two park labourers and a park woodchopper and an automobile party of young men, so that presently there was quite a good-sized search party abroad in the woodland.

Just sit still." And so Flossie and Freddie, in the elevated express train, were having a long ride all by themselves. They were not frightened now, for they were sure their father or mother would come for them soon, as he had done the day they were spilled out of the ice-boat and were taken in by Uncle Jack. "I wonder what that nice woodchopper man is doing now?" asked Flossie.

Leaving his wife at the Bobbsey home, Mr. Whipple went with Mr. The old woodchopper was much better, though still weak and ill. One of the doctors had told him some one was coming to see him, and had said it might prove to be some one who knew about his brother and sister. Poor Uncle Jack's eyes filled with tears. "Oh, I only hope it is true," he said. Mr.

The "Boiler-plate's" fists made a noise like a woodchopper. Natica stood watching it with a queer, queer smile. But I saw and I saw it with a sinking at the heart, for I realized that I'd cherished the guilty hope that things were not really going to be straightened out that with every mark of the "Boiler-plate's" glove, her husband was coming back into his own.

"You are right, Stain. If you hear of anybody who wants to have some wood chopped, free of charge, I wish you'd let me know." "Well," began the laconic Mr. Stain, "it takes considerable practice to get to be even a fair to middlin' woodchopper." Bright and early the next morning Kenneth gave orders to have his new home put in order for immediate occupancy.

His turn to cook never came again. He suggested himself that he would be woodchopper and scullion and let me do the cooking. I readily agreed and found that it was only half as much work as being the handy man. The basis of camp cooking is the fire. It is the surest way to tell whether the cook knows his business or not.

She suspected some amorous mystery in all these events, commented somewhat uncharitably on every minor detail, and took care to carry her comments all over the village. Very soon the entire parish, from the most insignificant woodchopper to the Abbe Pernot himself, were made aware that there was something going on between M. de Buxieres and the daughter of old M. Vincart.
