and bought a gold brick. johnnie saw
a rancher's wagon, on which there
we're a number Of water melons. They
looked good TO him, and he bought
one. He picked out the biggest one,
and paid the price. The rancher told
him TO put the melon on ice for a few
hours, andi IL would then be fne eating.
The melon looked so good that John.
ME concluded 10 was good enough
without Ice, and so proceeded 70 cut
1t. He found IL vas green as a pump
kin. He took the pieces Of green mel
on, and went back 70 the wagon. The
rancher a%pologlzed profusely, and told
Parks to take the pick Of what was
left. Parks picked out another nne
looking melon. and went back to his
friends. As soon as he left the wagon
the rancher drove on to visit other
customers. Johnnie cut the new mel

both disappeared. Johnnie complain
ed Of the way he had been treated and
one OF his friends asked why be had
not tunked the melon before buying
it. That was a new one on Johnnie,
and 1t was explained to him that by
gently hitting a melon with a knuckle
and listening to the souDd an expert
could tell whether or not the melon
was ripe. Johnnie confessed be had
lived all his life IN the mountains and
vallies Of Graham county, aud never
as a boy had a chance to get into a
