more about 1t than most folks: some
thought
Did Johnson go? No. not that she
knew Of. aud she would know. lie
went over to the opposite mountain
last night to hunt his COW.
In what direction did Johnson 60?
She was not sure: she believed he
went right down the road across the
valley. There was bridge across
the river II one followed the road
along the foot OF the mountain a bit.
Jenkins had seen her there, and he
told Johnson so at tho tavern; John.
son went right over TO hunt her: he
took his gun In case he came across
game, but that was useless unless he
were luckler than usual. for johnson
was too shiftless to have luck.
Yes. the COW came back: she had
lost her bell; he would expect to find
her By that: doubtless he would keep
on hunting: he hadn't sense enough
to know she would most likely come
home by herself But IL he did not
wish to return for reasons best known
to himself-Johnson was shiftless. but
he was no fool about somo things.
His girl now had about as little
sense as was possible. She did not
even know when she vas we'll of; she
was like her mother for all the world,
only worse.
As for Dolores. she seemed to like
him to talk to her: she was not In the
habit OF talking much; she never
talked with her neighbors. she felt
above them; he was the Judges son,
and. no doubt. she felt fattered that
bc took notice OF her. Their men
never said much to her. for they did
not like her. Maybe she went over
the mountain. Well. maybe she went
because she wished to go. How could
she answer for her? Perhaps
Could they find Johnson II they
tried? She did not knoY. The oppo.
site mountain was dangerous place:
there were sharp ledges and turns and
deep chasms; folks seldom venturcd
over there except for hunting: they
had no cause to go.
Did they want johnson? He was
not In the habit Of gong of: he never
went hunting except on their own
mountain; he had no go ahead In him;
he was shiftless and 10 was his daugh.
ter--only worse.
They had accomplished their errand
and paid her literally as they arose
to so. more determined than ever to
flnd Johnson were Il a possible thing.
