found a woman just taking from the spit
a nicely broiled chicken. The SAVIOR Of
the fowl made him He had
a Mexican dollar in his pocket which he
had carried for years, and to which he
was much attached, but he was bound
to have that chicken, and he pulled out
the dollar and proposed a trade-the
coin for the fowl. The lady said the
chicken was for a sick friend and that
she could not sell it.
"But," she continued, "Ill jump you
for it."
"What do you mean?" said Buck.
IL mean we will see which can jump
farthest from this door sill out into the
yard, and the one Of US that beats shall
have both chicken and dollar"
GAN right; that suits me exactly"
said Buck. The dollar was placed on the
dish beside the chicken, and his gun was
leaned against the wall by the door, and
Buck slupg his arms and mode a ire
mendous leap of over IL feet. lie recov-
cred with difficulty, and when he turned
to the door there was the lady with his
cooked gun in her hands, with the butt
against her shoulder and her finger on
the trigger.
"Now you just fiirt the gravel down
that road, young man, or I'll make bug
yards food of you before hell can SINCE
a gnat," size ordered.
There was shoot in her eyes and "buck
and ball' in the gun. SO Buck 'firted
the gravel, 'shis bosom swollen with i'm,
potent rage and his mouth oyerfowing
with eloquent profanity.
BY this time it was dark. Over in a
field Buck spied a gin house. He went
to it and climbed into the loft, laid down
on the floor and was soon fast asleep.
After a time he was awakened by voices
down below; He listened aud made the
discovery that enc was a female voice,
and a moment later he realized that she
was relating the jumping episode to
her companion, who gave vent to peal
after peal of laughter, There were the
chicken and his dollar, which be could
see by the light of the tallow dip. Peers
ing about he saw his gun also, There
was a big hole in the floor Of the loft
and just as the man took hold of the
dish to eat the chicken, Buck plunged
through that hole and seized his gun.
Before they recovered from their astons
ishment Buck roared out:
"Madam, you just firt the gravel back
home, and as for this gentleman, he and
| will firt gravel to the Provost Mar
shall. He is the deserter | have been
after for a week"
There was shoot ia Bucks eye now.
The woman left. Buck recovered his
dollar, ate the chicken, and before mid.
night surrendered his prisoner to the
provost marshal. 1t was worth a journey
across the continent to hear Buck tell
the story.
