If you want to be inventoried, walk the streets of such a village, and the pagans will "take" you like a photo grapher. You ll be a stereoscopic object in spite of yourself. Doors will be ajar with noses in them, and the sharpest eye they have. Faces will be framed and glazed in the window-panes. You will be fairly surrounded by observant pagans. It has occurred to THE NOliTH WOODS. 71 you how many more people there are in a little hamlet that resemble a disabled milking-stool, "with out any vi...sible means of support, " than there are in larger towns. See the front steps of that village store, this minute. One, three, five, eight, there are nine persons, like the ancient blackbirds, "all in a row. " They have gone to roost, but they are as observant as magpies. A lady is coming down the street. Those nine heads, carrying eighteen eyes, turn to the right and watch her. As she nears them those heads swing slowly around. As she passes they are all front-face. They see her from top-knot to- gaiter-button.
