the family to take care of the house until
he came back. When he started away to
search for living the major cried for the
first time in his life. He earned little
money here and there at odd jobs, and sent
all he could to his wife and children. All
last winter he worked at st. 10. heart
hungry for home, but afraid to go back to
the old farmhouse lest he might lose a
dollar, and thus deprive the children of
some little comfort or luxury.
One morning last spring he got this letter:
Dear Husband: Come home at once. Let
nothing delay you. JEAN.
With quaking heart the major hurried
back to the farm house with his rifle slung
over his shoulder. What was his surprise
to find that the Missouri had changed its
course half mile above and had washed
the old farm back again with an addition
of twenty acres. The neighbors had joined
together to surprise the absent man. They
contributed seed, ploughed the land and
sowed the early crop.

religious feelings" he said, but durn my
eyes if | ketch you around my house Pll
fill you so full of lead that it'll take two

Then they parted. The major went home
and cleaned his rifle. After the family
prayers his wife sat up until midnight
moulding bullets, while he himself sharp
ened the old axe on the grindstone In the
morning two marshals came out to the
farm and ordered the Buckhnge family to
leave. The majo got out his rife, but be-
fore he could make move he was thrown
on his back and dsarmed. Then he was
handcuffed and taken away to Jail. Mrs.
Buckhinge vowed that she would be true to
her husband, and she made a loophole in
the door of the house, and when the mar
shals came back she poked the muzzle of
the rifle out and said that she would die
rather than give up her home. The mar
shals retreated but in the afternoon thew
came back and opened fire on the house

Kind neighbors fed the family for while,
and the major was at last set free when he
promised that he would abandon the farm.
The first thing he did was to hire horses
and haul the old home up the shadows until
he had taken it far enough to float over to
the thirty feet of the old farm which the
Missouri had spared The house was
