stumpin' round on hick'ry peg. One
day Elder Harkins asked him why he
didn't 60 to Brother Brigham Young
and have his leg restored.
"D'you s'poee he en- do it?' said old
Peg-leg's quick's wink. DO it: Why
OF course he can do it, and glad of the
chance to show his power the elder
said. Il wonder you hadn't thought Of
it before Well, you may be sure Peg
lost no time in gettin' thar after that.
And what d'you s'pose Brother Brig.
ham said? Why. he said Of course he
could make new leg, jest's good q leg
rs the one that was miss'n', But before
he supplied the lost member he was in
honor bound to tell Peg-leg something
that he considered very serious. Says
he, III l make new leg for you to use
10 this life, it will be part OF you, and
after you die it will be resurrected along
with the rest OF your body when the
last trumpet blows
"'AIl right. all right, PegIeg put in,
that's jest what l want
"'But hold on Brother Brigham
said, that hain't all OF it. Both Of the
legs you were horn with will be resur-

curled around his stomach, his tongue
turned black, and he was dead bug.

born with craving for Paris green and
