the red lane a romance of the border
Series:

Raiting:
4/5
1912. Illustrated. Day wrote for Maine newspapers and magazines, published two books of poetry and several novels. The Red Lane begins: The Red Lane is neither road nor route. It is an institution-it is smuggling. Its thousand avenues are now here, now there. The Red Lane crossed the border at Beaulieu's Place this night. The Lane was blatantly open. They who came along it were unabashed, unafraid. Great wains rumbled and creaked on the hard clay road which led through Monarda clearing. Teamsters shouted at straining horses, and bellowed their songs. From east to west the procession moved-from Canada into the States.

Excerpt from book: NCE on a time when the Wixon boy put Paris-green in the Trufants' well, because the oldest Trufant girl had given him the mitten, Marm Gossip gabbled in Smyrna until flecks of foam gathered in the corners of her mouth. But when Cap'n Aaron Sproul, late of the deep sea, so promptly, so masterfully married Col. Gideon Ward's sisterafter the irascible Colonel had driven every other suitor away from that patient ladyand then gave the Colonel his "everlasting comeuppance," and settled down in Smyrna as boss of the Ward household, that event nearly wore Gossip's tongue into ribbons. "I see'd it from a distancethe part that happened in front of the toll-house," said Old Man Jordan. "Now, all of ye know that Kun'l Gid most gin'ly cal'lates to eat up folks that says 'Boo' to him, and pick his teeth with slivers of their bones. But talk about your r'yal Pee- ruvian ragin' lionsor wherever they come fromwhy, that Cap'n Sproul could back a 'Rabian caterwouser right ofFm Caterwouser Township! I couldn't hear what was said, but I see Kun'l Gid, hoss-gad and all, backed right up into his own wagon; and Cap'n Sproul got in, and took the reins away from him as if he'd been a pindlin' ten-year-old, and drove off toward the Ward home place. And that Cap'n don't seem savage, nuther." "Wai, near's I can find out," said Odbar Broadway from behind his counter, where he was counting eggs out of Old Man Jordan's bucket, "the Cap'n had a club in one hand and power of attorney from Kun'l Gid's sister in the other and a threat to divide the Ward estate. The way Gid's bus'ness is tied up jest at present would put a knot into the tail of 'most any kind of a temper." "I'm told the Cap'n is makin' her a tumble nice husband," observed one of the store loungers. Broadway folded his specs int...

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER THREE ENGINEER PARKER GETS FINAL ORDERS FOR "THE LAND OF THE GIDEONITES." THE long autumn passed and winter set in. Snow fell on the carry and the big sleds jangled across. Men went up past Sunkhaze settlement into the great region of snow and silence, and men came downbearded men, with hands calloused by the ax and the cross-cut saw. But Col. Gideon Ward's well known figure was not among the passengers on the tote-road. The upgoing men were bound for his camps, and were inquiring as to his whereabouts ; the downgoing men stated that he was roaring from one log-landing to another, driving men and horses to make a record- breaking season, and so busy that he would not stop long enough to eat. Hearing the discussion of the traits and deeds of this woods ogre, the stranger might readily believe him as terrifying as the celebrated "Injun devil"and as much a creature of fiction. But each of the messengers that Ward sent down to the outer world bore unmistakable sign that this ruler of the wilderness was in full possession of his autocracy. This talisman was one of the most picturesque features of Ward's reign over the "Gideonites," as his men were called all through the great north country. He never intrusted money to woodsmen, for he deemed them irresponsible; he found that writings and orders were too easily mislaid. Therefore, whenever he sent a messenger to town or a man down the line with a tote-team for goods, he scrawled on his back with a piece of chalk the peculiar hieroglyph of crosses and circles that made up the Gideon Ward "log- mark." This mark was good for lodging andmeals at any tavern, was authority for the transfer of goods, and procured transportation for the man whose back was thus inscribed. When Colonel Ward sent a crew of men into t... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
