Said
Duncan
:
“
Now
the
boy
is
in
for
sore
trouble
!
”
“
I
hope
not
,
”
answered
McLean
.
“
You
never
in
all
your
life
saw
a
cur
whipped
so
completely
.
He
won
’
t
come
back
for
the
repetition
of
the
chorus
.
We
surely
can
find
the
tree
.
If
we
can
’
t
,
Freckles
can
.
I
will
bring
enough
of
the
gang
to
take
it
out
at
once
.
That
will
insure
peace
for
a
time
,
at
least
,
and
I
am
hoping
that
in
a
month
more
the
whole
gang
may
be
moved
here
.
It
soon
will
be
fall
,
and
then
,
if
he
will
go
,
I
intend
to
send
Freckles
to
my
mother
to
be
educated
.
With
his
quickness
of
mind
and
body
and
a
few
years
’
good
help
he
can
do
anything
.
Why
,
Duncan
,
I
’
d
give
a
hundred
-
dollar
bill
if
you
could
have
been
here
and
seen
for
yourself
.
”
“
Yes
,
and
I
’
d
’
a
’
done
murder
,
”
muttered
the
big
teamster
.
“
I
hope
,
sir
,
ye
will
make
good
your
plans
for
Freckles
,
though
I
’
d
as
soon
see
ony
born
child
o
’
my
ain
taken
from
our
home
.
We
love
the
lad
,
me
and
Sarah
.
”
Locating
the
tree
was
easy
,
because
it
was
so
well
identified
.
When
the
rumble
of
the
big
lumber
wagons
passing
the
cabin
on
the
way
to
the
swamp
wakened
Freckles
next
morning
,
he
sprang
up
and
was
soon
following
them
.
He
was
so
sore
and
stiff
that
every
movement
was
torture
at
first
,
but
he
grew
easier
,
and
shortly
did
not
suffer
so
much
.
McLean
scolded
him
for
coming
,
yet
in
his
heart
triumphed
over
every
new
evidence
of
fineness
in
the
boy
.
The
tree
was
a
giant
maple
,
and
so
precious
that
they
almost
dug
it
out
by
the
roots
.
When
it
was
down
,
cut
in
lengths
,
and
loaded
,
there
was
yet
an
empty
wagon
.
As
they
were
gathering
up
their
tools
to
go
,
Duncan
said
:
“
There
’
s
a
big
hollow
tree
somewhere
mighty
close
here
that
I
’
ve
been
wanting
for
a
watering
-
trough
for
my
stock
;
the
one
I
have
is
so
small
.
The
Portland
company
cut
this
for
elm
butts
last
year
,
and
it
’
s
six
feet
diameter
and
hollow
for
forty
feet
.
It
was
a
buster
!
While
the
men
are
here
and
there
is
an
empty
wagon
,
why
mightn
’
t
I
load
it
on
and
tak
’
it
up
to
the
barn
as
we
pass
?
”
McLean
said
he
was
very
willing
,
ordered
the
driver
to
break
line
and
load
the
log
,
detailing
men
to
assist
.
He
told
Freckles
to
ride
on
a
section
of
the
maple
with
him
,
but
now
the
boy
asked
to
enter
the
swamp
with
Duncan
.
“
I
don
’
t
see
why
you
want
to
go
,
”
said
McLean
.
“
I
have
no
business
to
let
you
out
today
at
all
.
”
“
It
’
s
me
chickens
,
”
whispered
Freckles
in
distress
.
“
You
see
,
I
was
just
after
finding
yesterday
,
from
me
new
book
,
how
they
do
be
nesting
in
hollow
trees
,
and
there
ain
’
t
any
too
many
in
the
swamp
.
There
’
s
just
a
chance
that
they
might
be
in
that
one
.
”
“
Go
ahead
,
”
said
McLean
.
“
That
’
s
a
different
story
.
If
they
happen
to
be
there
,
why
tell
Duncan
he
must
give
up
the
tree
until
they
have
finished
with
it
.
”
