that horse, as you viii notice, and he
ain't got no git-up-and-git to speak of
now. But at the same time he is a MEM
Der of the Sanders family, which the
family can most in generally always
count on me to do the talkin and hustle
for the necessary fixments. He is now
free, white and 81, and 1 give him all
the slack in the reins when it suits him.
He has been dead on his legs and off of
his feet for 10 these many years, and
consequentially he don't have to make
a track nor fling a shoe exceptin only
Lhen~hej feels like it. There are other
horses on the place that's younger and
stronger and better lookin than him,
and we let them run the wagons and
the plows and do the saddlin and the
drivin for the concern. The old gray
has seen his best days long ago, and he
is now on the pension rolls-drawin
his rations and takin his rest for the
honorable service. He is jest what you

The weather was .Pranky.n

But, as | was goin to say, we and the
little old gray have had some hard rubs
and pulled through some mighty clost
places together in our day and genera
ton, and while we both live he will
find corn chops in the troft and fod-
der in the rack every time he goes to the
stable.
Hit was in the spring time, and way
back there in the 70s, if my count
amt wrong, and we was farmin then
down on the Conecub river bottoms.
The rains had come tremendous heavy
and frequent. The river was full to the
brim, but she want sloppin over any
to speak of, and trayellin was consid-
cred plum safe. Our little Mary was
nothin but a spring pullet then, and
we had started her to school to onefof
the Cross girls over the river a mile and
a half, or maybe a little better, from
home.
When we got mp that mornin the sky
was clear as q bell, and the sun was
shinin and the birds singin and the bees
a hummin. 1t had then been a clean "a
hours since any rain had fell on our
place, and it looked like nothin but fair
weather ahead. And little Mary she
was most crazy to git back to school,
sayin how she was now in her ABB Abs,
and If she missed another day she would
have to go foot and spell up, whilst
the other scholars would laugh and
poke fun at her.
Il am awful skittish about lettin our
Mary off to school this mornin, Rufus"
says mother to me after breakfast, and
then she would like to know my private
opinions about the general circum-
ference Of the surroundings.
"Let the little one go to school, says
/. "She is all wrapped up in her books,
and it would most break her heart,
I reckon, to go back and spile out and
start over"
"Dut / am mot feelin right easy In
regards to the water and the weather.
mother went on. "Sposin the river takes
q squirt and gifts out of her banks. And
that amt all. It mout rain to-day for
all I know. My corns are hurtin awful
this mornin, and the weather is SO
prnnky, Rufus"
"This amt my time Of year for
sposin." says I. life is too short and
time Is too skeerce. Let the little one
go to school.
Then mother lowed it would have TO.

general boss, but still she couldn't help
from feelin a little bit jubius in regardg
