"We must get ready to leave for Lumberville then."
"Oh, that'll be fun!" cried Freddie. "I want to see the big trees.
Maybe I'll climb one."
"And that's something else you must not do!" went on his mother. "You
must not go out in the woods nor climb trees alone."
"I won't. Bert will come with me," said Freddie.
Then the Bobbsey twins went shopping with their mother, and that night
they again got aboard a sleeping car and started for Lumberville,
which was reached the next morning.
And when Flossie and Freddie and Bert and Nan opened their eyes and
looked from the car window they saw a strange sight.
CHAPTER XIII
THE SAWMILL
When Bert, who was the first of the Bobbsey twins to awaken, looked
from the car window he had hard work to tell whether or not he was
dreaming. For he seemed to be traveling through a scene from a moving
picture. There were trees, trees, trees on both sides of the track.
Nothing could be seen but trees. The railroad was cut through a dense
forest, and at times the trees seemed so near that it appeared all
Bert would have to do would be to stretch out his hand to touch the
branches.
