"Hold on thar, you continuation

see boss bused that ERE way.n Thes,
were the words which greeted the Dea
cons ears as he rode up to a freight
team stuck in hole on the grade and
saw the burly driver whack the of
wheeler in the ribs with shovel. Jus;
then he saw his friend, Bunk grab the
driver by the shoulder and set him
down against the bank with thud that
made the fellows teeth rattle. The
driver made demonstration to resist
our friends interference but was told
You jest set thar and see me pull that
'ere load QUIZ The fellow had discre-
ton enough to see that he had man
to deal with and fell back. Bunk then
patted the horse on the neck, rubbed
his nose and called him ''good boy,n
pulled the bride back which had
slipped over the horse's ear, went
around and spoke kindly to all the 9TH
ers, adjusted some of the collars and
then said, "All ready, yea, now my
pretty boys; all together now, gently,u
and with steady start and move all
together, every horse buckled down to
a steady pull, the wheels rolled out of
the rut and put the wagon where 1t was
smooth sailing again, and Bunk shouted
whoa" Bunk turned to the driver
and said, ~ reckon l allus will be
