I suppose there are such places in these
woods, but we cannot see them from the train."
Once, just before they went into the dining car to breakfast, the
Bobbsey twins saw in a clearing a big wagon loaded with logs and drawn
by eight horses.
"Oh, look!" cried Bert, pointing to it. "Will you have teams like
that, Mother?"
"Well, I suppose so," she answered. "I don't really know what is on my
lumber tract, as yet."
"We'll soon see," said Mr. Bobbsey, looking at his watch. "We'll be at
Lumberville in about two hours."
They went to breakfast while the train was still puffing along through
the woods. The scenery was quite different from that on the first part
of their journey, where they had scarcely ever been out of sight of
houses and cities, with only now and then a patch of wooded land. Here
there were hardly any houses to be seen--only trees, trees, and more
trees.
Freddie was not the only one of the Bobbsey twins who was hungry, for
Flossie, Nan, and Bert also had good appetites.
