In the Wrong crowd.

"But on the next following Saturday
the Old School Baptists opened up q
three days meetin down al Cool Springs
church, and I am here to tell you,
Rufus, there is where the famous
grandson of old Hiram Lucas backed
his fool self up agin scandlous big
snag. They had three sermonts day
and dinner on the grounds, but they
didn't have no mourners' bench, and
Andy he was like the label on bottle,
YOU UNDERSTANDABLE around on the out
side, but not in it any at all hardly.
Then when the three days run out the
meetin closed in reglar order, Lucas or
no Lucas. But that want all by whole
lot, Rufus.
I'm the main time Andy had tackled
three of them Hardshell preachers in
three horse trades hand runnin, and by
gatlins they had jest naturally snapped
the livin socks off of him. He wound
I'D at last with horse that was moon
eyed and bellused and would kick at his
shadow-which he sold out soon as he
could for ten dollars. And that's how
come you saw Andy totin of his saddle
ald bride on his return back home.
When his luck did change it changed
good and quick, and then the cards
run from him like a shot till the other
fellows helt three aces and pair Of
kings, as it were, whilst he couldn't
show down with nothin better than
three ters.
''Somehow was rale glad that Andy
remained over and tarried around down
there amongst the brethren till the
three days meetin come off over at Coal
Springs. You see knowed the crowd
q whole lot better than he did. Some Of
Gods own people worship together
down there at Coal Springs, Rufus, and
I knowed well and good when Andy
tackled that meetin it would soon be
mighty good time of year for him to
return tack home.
