Coming up the eastern grade of the

bare-headed, her sun bonnet hanging
at her back by the strings tied around
her neck.
Twirling a stout hickory club that
she carried in her right hand, she
motioned for me to stop and began
talking:

Well" replied, "he seemed to be
walking rather lively, but he stopped
long enough to beg a chew of to-
bacco."
At this she became greatly excited
and fiourished her club in an angry
mood: "Dod rot his warty pictures, >
