Meanwhile the corn ripens. After gigantic efforts she succeeds in harvesting it. At best it would have repaid the seed but three times, but gathered and threshed with insufficient skill or barbarous tools, it scarcely more than doubles the perilous investment.
They could hear the clatter of the tinware as he threshed about, and the crash and bang of other articles belonging to their equipment. "Look! What's that light?" exclaimed Walter. "Fire!" cried the Professor. "The tent's on fire!" shouted Tad. "Quick, get water!" urged Ned. "What for? To put out the bear?" laughed Tad. "I had forgotten about the lantern. That's what has caused the fire.
Some farmers threshed directly from the shock, and the new "Vibrator" took the place of the old Buffalo Pitts Separator with its ringing bell-metal pinions. Wheeled plows were common and self-binding harvesters were coming in. Although my laconic little diary does not show it, I was fiercely resolved upon returning to the Seminary. My father was not very sympathetic.
We have threshed a stook of print and book, and winnowed a chattering wind And many a soul wherefrom he stole, but his we cannot find: We have handled him, we have dandled him, we have seared him to the bone, And sure if tooth and nail show truth he has no soul of his own."

He strained again, convulsive; and relaxed.
Imagine the vast heap they would have made, imagine the hundreds and hundreds of sacks of wheat they filled when they were threshed. I have often thought that it would perhaps be a good thing if this contribution of the real tenth could be brought back again for another purpose.

But the two youths were far from being alone.
Unversed in these homely recipes, this simple Mary had at least the wit not to cry "Oh!" in pain and move her hand.
