trTin' to make the wildernest blossom by the
s9est of bis brow, an he warn't a whsckin'
down big trees an hewln' 'em inter logs an'
snakin' EN- to the water, an raftin' of em

IN come an set down on. He was keepln' a
har, of cider in one corner o. the cabin, an
a bar'l O. pork in another corner, an he

woods june to Janiwary, thiokern sogers

th't pop we're runnin' a hotel, but we didn't

Pap had cleared enough ground around
the cabin to hev garden spot enough to
raise all the corn an Eaters and other gar
den sass we wanted, an me an nam had
spsded up an made couple Of flower beds
il front O the cabin. We had marygol's,
an larkspurs. an pinies, an lots o. posies in

Anythin that was around the clearin'.
CAME NEAR LOSING HER HEART.
"The fall was 10 years old nanny had
20 20 to see SICK sister o. her'n on another
cearin' ten mile away, an l had to stay an
look arter pap an the cabin. One night,
not long arteF me an pap had gone to bed =,
sumpin' lifted the onarthliest yell from
outen the woods of to the right O. the cabin
that was ever lifted since Noah druv the
animals outen the ark. Ny hair riz up like
the BRUSHES on a mad bucks neck, an my
hesrt few up SO fur in my mouth tht had
70 stuff 1t back with my hand to keep it
from fallin' out. Pap sprung outen his bunk
til tue cabin all shook.
That's painter says he, 'an' poorly
durn clus by, tool says he.
He hadn't hardly spoke wen from the
direction o. the creek on the left O. the
cabin, como another yell, lifted wuss an
more skeerin' thin the fust one.
Two on EN-, by gump says pap
Mandy says he, unless hain't up to snuff
&c tie painter question thus a-gointer be

Wildernest ever got upw
ais that soP says l. Then I'll git up an
take squirt at it, says !.
GETTING READY FOR A FINE SCRAP.
80 got up an went to the little winder
10 the front side o. the cabin an looked out
Pap be opened the door on a crack an
peeked out. The night was starlight, an
the clearin' in front o. the cabin was jest
come inter it or crossed it. But around the
edges O. the woods it were darker thin the
inside OF boiler log.
Fust one o. them painters d screech an
then tother I'm ID take it up an outscreeoh
the fust one, both on 'em DRAWN higher
and higher. My heat beat 80 loud that it
sounded Just like a woodpeeker peckin' on a
tree. Poorly soon at one side O. the clearin'
sompin' dark came q creepln' out inter the
a hn gf Of 11O anI
ehen at tOther side crep another jest sech a
snadder. Everything was stillsr than
death Two yells that gave me fit Of fever
and agar for a minute riz from them two
snsdders an busted the stiffness like blast
ousts rock. Then l know'd that the
painters had arriv'. an know'd ez we'll ez
Enow'd anything that the fight were gOin'
Ter come of right thar.
FIGHT FIT FOR HISTORY.
Wen the two painters got their eyes on
one aEother they bounded inter the openia'
an stood facin'. An WANT they jest oil
s1cEd layers They ant more'n 25 foot
from the cabin. an l could see their eyes
earn' Ike Goals. They didn't waste no
tune sizln' one another up, but both
srooched down, an onloadin' couple moro
mem orful shrieks they sprung together
only wished ye could ha' seen that
