"D' We hear that, jim? Thar's no
ues in We bein' blowed on Sally Ann
any longer; her an Bud'll leave the
cove, an yen never see nary bit
more of neither of EN-"
THAT letter said, fer Sally Ann let
Polly read it, that Bud had heared that
Sally Ann wuz bein' pestered by sew
eral other fellers, but that he wuzn't
scared about them asparkin' her; he
knowed that when he come to fetch
her away, that would be the eend of
their spurkin', when she read the let
ter my woman said ez how Sally Ann
he'd tied red ribbon round her neck,
an he'd put on her Sunday clothes, she
WIZ that set up over the news"
"You ,ie!" said the pale-skinned
young man, as he mounted his horse.
II hev that letter in my pocket right
row a takin' it to her; hit hain't never
been opened yit; yer woman's never
laid eyes on it, an al that rot which
ye've been taikn' is lies, an ye know
it. 1Iyar's the letter, and you-uns kin
see fer yerse'ves that hit hain't been
broke open nary bit. Good evenin',
square, l reckon yen be atellin' the
rest of what yer woman read, but
hain't got time to listen"
With this parting shot the yong
man rode off al a trot leaving the litl'e
group to receive the squire's further
information as they chose. Jim Far
ner was indeed in love with Sally Ann,
and the constancy which she had
shown in her feelings for her old lover
had been a source of much bitterness
to him. "Hit seems like she mout a
TUX up with me after he went away
from the cove. Eff he didn't think the
mountains wuz good enough fer him,
why does he come along an take off
one of our gals? She'll die eff she hev
to leave, an he he'd ort to know it; she
can't stand bein' away from this set
tlement."
Now Jim could see the light of her
mothers cabin far up on the mountain,
and he turned into the trail which
would soon lead him to the side OF
Sally Ann. His heart beat faster as he
approached the dwelling. This would
be, perhaps, his last visit. Afterwards
he Planned to go into the far west, any
where, he thought, to escape the mem
ory of his blighted hopes.
The door was open, and after stop
ping a moment to speak to the dog,
who had recognized him, he crossed
