 T might. part of it, and the rest when this bark's done"
 ''Well, in a relieved voice. you git it quicks ye can. The ownerrl take half down an wait for the rest. He told me so. He tried to sell 1t to me, but didn't want no land to work. But ye must hurry. The preachers comin' up in two weeks, an ye want to be ready. Old Cooner'll be all right longs ye own ten acres j'inin' an two acres of taters."
 "An' yell give up Bet?" incredulously.
 'Long's she likes you best. of course. I amt comin in between nobody that way, Bill"
 Bill looked at him earnestly, then his face cleared and he extended his hand.
 You're the best feller that ever was," he cried. heartily, 'an' I'm sorry for friend after this. Now what'n ye take for the tRters?''
 'oh, that's all right" easily. When ye're married an settled up there. I'll let ye do my chores when I have any, as t won't cost ye nothin' but work"
 Gabe then went to cooner, drawing a long face.
 '"That Bill Tanners too smart for me-" he grumbled. T went down there think in I could make a trade. but he's got my taters an ain't thing to show" He waited long enough for his words to have their full effect. then added: T b'Heve I'll go out to Mexico or Maine, or somewhere that way. The only thing is it'll be right hard for Bet to so so fur, but mebbe she can stand it."
 'Bet--9o to Mexico or Madne!'' almost shrieked Cooner. ''Why, you-you plumb idiotI Bill Tanners worth a dozen of ye. Betn stay right here. Now you be git- tin ofr."
 But I thought"
 Thought nothin'," angrily. Get along with ye.''
 Gabe went, with downcast head until he got beyond view of the cabin, then he began to chuckle.
 Much of the next two weeks he spent upon his back, with his face to the sky. But when the wedding day came he was among the guests, smiling and happy, and with his hair cut in honor of the occasion. Mary Bet drew him aside at the first opportunity, her eyes moist with grateful tears.
 "Oh, Gabe, she whispered, happily, T sha'n't ever forget what you've done for Bill an me. It was fine the way ye got round dad. an so smart. IT never B posed ye had it in ye. Bills told me all about it, an we won't ever forget. Ye must come jest as often as ye can an eat with us."
