to make his appearance again. flnally
Aaron turned away from the swamp
and came to the children, and present
Nv they heard the White Pig coming up
behind them, granting and ''goofing,"
though not so fiercely as before.
Drusilla turned and saw him coming,
and exclaimed: sDar now what | tell
you. Eff I'd a-started lords dat wagon,
he'd a got me sho ez de worl. An he
may git me yit." She jumped up and
ran toward Aaron for protection. But
he shook her in a way to convince her
that she would do well to keep quiet.
The White Pig had gone into the
swamp, wallowed in the clean water
of the branch, and had then come out
and gone round half a mile to see that
there was no ambuscade. He seemed
to be very well satisfied, for he grunted
III a good humored way as he trotted
up.
"You didn't go far enough. White
Pig" said Aaron. Il forgot you were
growing old. Ny men are hid behind
the wagon on the other hill. Next
time | will bring them nearer--eyen to

"Goof! goof!" replied the White Pig.
''What would you have? / am alone.

/ know that the Son of Ben Ali re
mains the same? Humph! let Inc see
for myself. Once you woula far to

you fling corn here and there and go

of corn. Do / complain? Goof. / go
into the cool swamp and tell the red
squirrels that the Son of Ben Ali is
sick or away on journey. And they
say Come and we go into the woods
beyond the swamp, and then the red
squirrels shake down the scaly-barks
and the hickory nuts. Goof! goof!"
Aaron laid his hand on the White
Pigs back and passed it gently through
the thick bristles.
ssThat is so,n said Aaron, '.but You
forget about the yams that are left
buried in the field for you. You for
get the COOLERS. the turnips, and the
bank of sugar cane. You forget the
corn that is scattered here and there
for you every day when the weather

Finally Buster John said he would
find Aaron, but Aaron was not to be
found. He had gone off with the
plough hands early in the morning,
and wouldn't be back before night.
Thereupon Buster John declared that
he was going TO the plum thiclSet, if
he had to go by himself.

off very boldly, but not without some

Drusilla was dragging along and bring

Sweetest Susan was not much afraid,
seeing Buster John SO bold, and Buster
John was made holder by the fact that
his sister seemed willing to go. So
they went, Drusilla bringing up the
rear and protesting.
