REMEMBER that here this big lum- 
ber-driver’s voice became shaky, and 
that he abruptly stopped, bent down, 
and pushed the big rock in place. 
“There you are, son. Your corner- 
stone is properly laid. Build your 
cabin, live in and learn to love this vast 
solitude, and—may Heaven preserve RADIOLITE 
I . 
the poor working girl. Damn it! 
must be going. So-long, kid.” 
“Bob Young, where did you learn to 
talk like that? You are a regular ora- 
tor.” 
“None of your damn business! Par- 
don me, son; I’m a little bit off today. 
Haven’t had a drink since seven o’clock. 
Good bye, and the best of luck.” 
He said no more, but turned away, 
picked up the reins and drove off. 
I learned afterwards that he had 
been educated in an eastern university. 
I have reread the oration of Bob Young 
as I have recorded it. It bears but a 
dreamy resemblance to the original, and 
I have felt like omitting it on that ac- 
count; but, even as it stands, it serves 
to show what was beneath his so-called 
“rough-neck’s” hard shell. 
O my driver-friend departed, and I 
was left joyously to proceed with =A N oc ULARS 
my building. I remembered the advice 
which had been given me, and I pro- 
ceeded with infinite care to place my 
foundation timbers square and level. 
As a matter of record, I do not think 
that the foundation sills of any home 
were ever laid with the care I bestowed 
on those of my cabin home. 
I whistled as I worked in that mel- 
low sunshine, and the sounds of my 
hammering as I drove the big spikes 
home must surely have apprised the 
forest-folk for miles around that an- 
other of their fastnesses had been in- 
vaded by man. 
So the building of the cabin began, 
and it was. only when darkness fell 
that I ceased my labors—very tired, 
and extremely happy.

I can write no more tonight. I am 
homesick for the clean woods, for the 
smell of pine resin, for the sound of the 
wind in the tree-tops, for the break of 
the surf on the shore; but I am tied 
and bound with the chains of the big 
city. These I could break; but there 
are other and gentler ties that hold 
me—the ties of home; for I am but a 
sojourner in this mean room, and else- 
where is a little cottage with small fir, 
and spruce and pine trees growing be- 
fore it, and a loving family within it.

HE new “*1925 Champion EVINRUDE 
Sport Twin” is almost as easily carried as 
a suitcase — only 40 pounds. We could 
build it lighter, but stop....think... would you 
part with EVINRUDE’ 'S famed sturdiness 
merely to make an already portable motor 
lighter by the weight of an oar? Would you 
sacrifice the deep, wide Attaching Bracket 
which cradles the motor like the strong frame 
in a fine car — the powerfully built Segment 
Fork — the rudder-type Gear Housing — the 
Automatic, Instantaneous Reverse ? 
Study out the facts and we believe you'll see why 
more EVINRUDES are in use than all other 
makes combined. Write for 1925 Year Book.
