The hoarse cries rang out on the crisp night wind, and at the close one of those queer, splitting, wide-reaching, booming crackles, heard in the winter on big waters, spread across the lake from shore to shore.

Excerpt: ...cheers for the brave men and the sweet ladies o' Sunkhaze!" Loud laughter followed these cheers. The people on the shore remained discreetly silent. "Three groans for the Poquette Railro'd!" The hoarse cries rang out on the crisp night wind, and at the close one of those queer, splitting, wide-reaching, booming crackles, heard in the winter on big waters, spread across the lake from shore to shore.

The bottle began to go about on the sleds, and the refrain of a lumberman's chorus, with its riotous, "Whoop fa la larry, lo day!" came floating back to Sunkhaze long after the great sail had merged itself with the silvery radiance of the brilliant surface of the lake. "Apparently there's other folks as have new schemes of travellin' acrost Spinnaker Lake," observed the postmaster, breaking a long silence in the group of spectators. "Wal, I did all I could to post him on what he might expect when Gid Ward got his temper good an' started. It's too bad to see that property dumped that way, tho." "Ain't Gid Ward ever goin' to suffer for any of his actions?" demanded Parker's foreman, disgustedly. "What are we goin' to do?" bleated another man.
