He Went TO Shoot.


We were sitting i'm an Office of ho-
tel in town on the Tennessee River.
and colored man came along with
revolver in his hand. One of the
men called him into the hotel and
asked:
"Sam, what are you going to do with
that thingp"
"Gwine ober to hab a riot wild Bill
Peters. the barber" was the prompt
reply,
"What's he been doingp"
"Tal.<in' bout my mudder, sab.
ober town. He's dun got to take il
back or I'll bore him."
'I guess Wen 60 over"
call right, sah."
Five or six of us followed him into
the barber shop. Peters was shaving
a white man, and he looked up and
said:
boy, what, you doin' wild dat ole
shootn -ironP"
"Gwine ter bore vel" replied Sam.
"What furp"
"Kase you has bin lyin' bout de ole
woman"
"Shoo! You jist wait!"
"Oh, I'll wait! l amt do pusson to
put white gem'lan out. Arter that
gem Ian leaves de char you want to
look out fur meW
Mr.. Peters finished shaving the man,
who did not even turn his eyes towards
Sam, and then powered his face and
and combed his hair. Sam sat there
with the revolver on his leg, cool as
ice, but just before Bill removed the
towel from the mans throat he said:
"Boy! you GO home"
"Who you talking top" asked Sam.
ITO you, sab! Pze got right to talk
to you"
"HowP"
"Kase Fze yer step-fadder. l mar'd
yer mudder two hours ago. Dat makes

"An' you'ze my step-fadderp"
Goose is. Now you make tracks
fur dat wood pile behind the house,
an when dinner am ready you como
down heah an call yer pa!'
Sam laid the revolver on chair
and walked out without another word,
so humbled that his feet dragged on
tho gravel as he went off down the
walk.
"Come around heah to shoot lis
step fadder!" growled Peters. 'Why,
dat boy hain't got no sense tall!
