every man not busy with the dead hogs

Perhaps Cobbs felt that it was asking
too much of human nature to tell the
boys to forego this run. At any rate,
all he said was "keep close to me boysl''
Often TO this day Cecil feels his pulse
qulokening with that wild rush enacting
itself over again in his brain.
The strange southern forest is all about
him. The paw-paw saplings whip his
face as his horse's breast beats them
down. He is stung by thorn tree
branches. But what does he care? What
would any boy, that if he live will be a
man, care for bruises and stings when a
brave horse is under him and the prey,
ahead?
Cecil didn t think to thank Cobbs for
his possible rescue from the boar; he
thought of nothing but to show Cobbs-
Cob6s whom he HAD despised few hours
agO-that he could ride straight
He was eager, like a young soldier
fighting under his generals eye.
Nevertheless, somehow could il have
been that Cobbs picked his way too care

The title seemed to Cecil (who stared
around vainly for tents) a large name
for nothing more than a wagon with a
white top and fire built against a log
Cobbs himself acted as cook. He very
soon had pan full of pork tenderloin
Kissing on the Goals and some sweet po-
totOes buried in the ashes.
Then he deftly mixed what he was
pleased to term "some biscuit, - with
flour, butter, baking powder and water
enumerating all the ingredients for
Cecil g benefit. He turned the dough
into another frying-pan, raked out more
Goals, on which he placed it and covered
il with pan full of Goals.

Cobbs, with twinkling eyes.
''You can cook anything, can t you =,

'Wa-al, L kin make a stagger at
