Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Then I took my helpers into the car and
drove out the Atwater road--you know it well Daddy, the road that runs
smooth over miles of country and then instead of jumping into a lake as it
seems to be going to, it swings into corduroy through a marsh, runs up on
a little bridge spanning the channel between two lakes, lifts to Atwater
lake shore, than which none is more lovely--you remember the white sand
floor and the clean water for swimming--climbs another hill, and opposite
beautiful wood, there stands the log cabin I told you of, there I took
them and explained. They could clean up in a day; Rogers could plant the
garden and take enough on one truck load, for a beginning. We may have
wood for the fireplace by gathering it from the forest floor. Rogers
again!"
"Are you quite _sure_ about Rogers?"
"Suppose you ride with him going down and ask him yourself," suggested
Leslie. "Rogers is anxious to hold his place. You see it's like this: all
of them get regular wages, have a chance at the swimming, rowing,
gardening and the country.
