I told you. George, that Sicily an her boss, ole Clapshaw, warn’t agwine ter pull well in the same yoke, as soon as I seed the orfal mis- fortinate start they got.

He orter have his durned haslet cut out, tur gittin me inter trubbil, arter he did_all the devilment, while I was to bar the blame. Now, aint hit hard that, bein a nateral born d—d fool as I owns 1 is, I has to bar the blame of the doins of an infurnel stumpy-horn’d, early- * fool bull; an that, too, arter I'd dun him a kindness, puttin the baskit handil over his horns, so he couldn't eat the corn while he wur travlin; fur I swar they'd a mauled him good ef they had koteh him eatin hit. He’s-an on { grateful beast, an [il do him wuss ’n the bees ** an ole Mills bull did. Ill wheelbarrer him vgqe into eternity, an old Burns too, mine ef I dont. Rs fur Sicily, ef [ haint even with her, you “may jist nail my tung to a tree, and then skeer me till I reels my whole carcuss inter about a mile ov tung, an thar’ll be nothin left but iny bones on tu the toe nails, an perbaps a serimp- shun of laigs, an a pile of rags an har at the eend ov it. She dout owe me nuffin now; an I'll tell you how I paid her up—hit war about layin-by corn time when she married that bard é faced, meaty fisted ole cuss. At next aignog time I begin to seo he warnt her “ affinity,” es a school-teacher oman called hit when she wanted to circumvent me so as tu get her wood cutanher marcurried. (ieorge, did you ever hev a strong-minded oman git arter you—a rale he oman? “No.”’ Well, ef ever wun docs, jist you fight her like she wore whiskers. or run like h—il; ef you dont, ef she dont tura you inter a kidney-worm'’d hog what cant raise bristles in Jess nor a month, you are more or less ov a man than [ takes you to be. Ov all the vermints I ever seed Ise feardest of them They aint human; theyse so ekal mixtry of stud hoss, black snake, goose, peacock, brit- ches—and d—d ras man; and as they cant, they fixes up thar case by being devils. Take care ove em; you'd better cum in contact with a commit ur a coal- perter than wun ove em eny time. They'll » -. ondermine your constitution sure. . Well, matters rocked along, all hands doin; . es they pleased, and I a watchin ov em—for wur arter revenge—oatil about the time the hosses_begin tu squeal and tuckeys tu gobble I diskivered her “affinity.” She wur rannin ia wial with pills and squts—Docter Gus Fabin—an they wur makin fast time, all connections, and the male wer kerried pufeetly fust rate. And I dont much wander; she never did feel warm tu old Ciap- shaw, hit was the suckit rider’s charm what fuch ber agin her will. George youse got a Avapta larn yit. There am three varmints what kin charm wimmin an birds—the suckit rider, the cat, an the black snake. They kin da hit, an none ever misses a chanse. Ef I hed a pet mockinbird an a darter, I'd make war on all cats and suckit riders—I'd fill the beryin ground with wan, an the big sink hole with tuther; an I'd hev a barrel full of hyme Lovks 20 claws es medels ove my skill in clost shootin.

Duct. Gus Fabin wer wun ove em; the boys called him Wut Fatty fur short, and be call’d em “imperdent onedicated d—d jackasses,”’ fur long. He wur just four foot fourteen inches, an wur taller a lyin down than when he wur standin up. His eyes wur like outu two buckelberrys es tu color and size, stuck deep inter a big ball ov red putty.
