eyes were blackened and pulled until
ne could scarcely see daylight. There
was blood on his face and shirt front,
osity among the men lounging around
to know what had happened

bridge or have a tree fall on him, ," said
the father as he wet his handkerchief
at the drinking trough and wiped away
the blood. 'The fact is that he met
with u disappointment on the road as
we was comm in.

the man and warns him of what is to
come but the redhead don't skeer wuth
a cent He ties the calf to bush and
spits on his hands and screams for both
of us to come down to once. "
'Then you gave him half the road?'
