The echo boomed out like the report of heavy artillery, but no answering shot rewarded me. There was no alternative save to wander along the canyon and through the cedars until I found my companions. This I began to do, disgusted with my awkwardness in losing them. Turning Foxie westward, I had scarcely gotten under way when Don came trotting toward me. "Hello, old boy!
Página 592 - SHOULD you ask me, whence these stories ? Whence these legends and traditions, With the odors of the forest, With the dew and damp of meadows, With the curling smoke of wigwams, With the rushing of great rivers, With their frequent repetitions, And their wild reverberations, As of thunder in the mountains...
Página 521 - Gant-lot: a fenced enclosure into which cattle are driven after cutting them out from those of other owners. So called because the mountain cattle run wild, feeding only on grass and browse, and " they couldn't travel well to market when filled up on green stuff: so they're penned up to git gant and nimble.
Página 779 - THE most useful and practical gift for a man. Something he will use every day of the year, and every year of his life. Something he will treasure. A man forms a peculiar attachment for his Gillette Razor —thinks more of it than any other article of personal use. It is so efficient and workmanlike, so easy and safe— no stropping, no honing— no special care. A beautiful gift, too ! The Gillette is as compact and as handsomely finished as a piece of jewelry. If he has never tried the Gillette...
Página 524 - Time after time he shook them off; but they were true bear dogs, and knew no such word as quit. I took a last squint at my rifle sights, made sure there was a cartridge in the chamber, and then felt my ears grow as I listened. Suddenly the chase swerved at a right angle and took straight up the side of Saddle-back. Either the bear would tree, or he would try to smash on through to the low rhododendron of the Devil's Court House, where dogs who followed might break their legs. I girded myself and...
Página 478 - THE pollution of public waters is our most common act and our most uncivilized practice. The casting of refuse in a stream results only in transferring it from one neighborhood to another. The great evil with which practical fish-culture in America has to contend at the present time is the contamination of public waters by sewage and the refuse of manufacturies. Although the propagation of fishes by artificial means has, in this country, reached a degree of efficiency unequaled in other countries,...
Página 436 - I've been told that the Plott hounds are the best bear dogs in the country." " Tain't so," snorted John. " The Plott curs are the best: that is, half hound, half cur — though what we-uns calls the cur, in this case, raelly comes from a big furrin dog that I don't rightly know the breed of. Fallers, you can talk as you please about a streak o...
Página 440 - Desolation, up the left prong of Roaring Fork, right through the Devil's Race-path (how a deer can git through thar 7 don't see!), crossed at the Meadow Gap, went down Eagle Creek, and by now he's in the Little Tennessee. That buck, shorely to God, has wings!" We were at table in the Carolina room when Matt Hyde appeared. He was the worst tatterdemalion I had seen outside of a hobo camp, his lower extremities being almost naked. Sure enough, he bore a turkey hen. "I was callin' a gobbler when this...
