destructive of the morals of that dark
hued couple.
The deprsdations of Rastus had
brought upon his head many threat,
hut the colonel had as yet confined him
self to words. and Rastus continued to
borrow the colonel's wood. and occa-
sionally, juicy chicken, in spite of the
threatened consequences.
However, the colonel decided once and
for all to put stop to the pilfering and
to effect the reformation of Rastus he
neatly loaded a stout hickory stick
with gunpowder and placed it in the.
wood pile. The lesson conveyed by this
innocent piece of wood was apt to be
severe, but was calculated to be ex-
tremely salutary.
On the eve of Thanksgiving day Ras-
fus cautiously surveyed the rear of the
colonel's domain, and finding il wrapped
IN peaceful solitude, gently distracted
a small turkey from the poultry coop.
The turkey had time TO Utter half
squawk as Rastus' fingers closed round
its neck, but that was all. 1t never
breathed again. Then Rastus loaded his
arms with wood and FASTENED down
the gully, the ill-gotten spoils in his
arms.

his gobblers and surveyed his wood

corners of his usually impassiye mouth.
