everywhere that pa and the giant ana
the the. fat lady had walked, and fell over
zach other, but finally one pack went
tot5the tall tree where the giant had
climbed to the first limb, and stood ON
their hind legs and barked a salute to
him: He trembled so was afraid
he would fall on, but he wound his
arms and legs around the tree, and
began to cry The planter told him
whatever crime he had committed it
was all up with, him. = :.
The part of the pack that was Of

cause the dogs are starving" Pa
made q. couple Of quick jumps. and
grabbed limb Of a hickory tree, and
was pulling himself up and repeating
prayers, when the leading dog reached
up his nose and smelled pas shoes.
when the intelligent animal gave
bark and yell to the other dogs, as
much as to say: That's the. identical

He grabbed about a double HAND
full Of the cloth Of pas clothes right
below where his suspenders button on
and held on, and shook pa real hard, but
the cloth was tough and didn't tear.
Pa suddenly seemed to be endowed
with superhuman strength, for he
drew himself up on the limb and
raised the dog from the ground, and
all the pack came around the tree
and set up a howl that scared pa So
the Precipitation rolled off him, and he
lad a chill so he shook like the ague.
PA yelled to the planter, who was
holding up the fat: lady, and said:

union prisoner, and I want you to
unlock your dogs jaws, and free me,
cause I can't hold up 90-pound dog

this is southern hospitality, I don't
want to be entertained no more" The
.I.lanter leaned the fat lady against a
tree, and went to pas tree, and took
the dog by the hind legs and pulled
: HIM off. .
The planter yelled to the negroes 60
come down and help handle the dogs
but Just then the boy who started the
dogs on the trail, at my request, came
up whistling, with a dog whip, in his
hand, and all the dogs surrounded him.
and he made them lay down and roll
over. Allof the scared people come down
from their perches in the trees, and
surrounded the boy and the dogs. and
the dogs painted and lolled, as though
they had been having a nice run for
their money. The old planter asked
his boy how the dogs had happened
to get loose, and that fool boy told the
whole thing, how I had asked him to
let the pack run, and how l had put
anise seed in the shoes of pa, the
giant and the fat. lady. Then you
ought to have seen what: they did
to me. The planter said they usually
had a lynching when the dogs made
run, but that was impossible in this
case, so he suggested that they make
me run the gantlet. I didn't know
what running the gantlet was, but
efter pa had told me he should disown
me from that moment, l said I was
willing to run any gantlet, so they all
cut switches, and formed in two lines
and let me run down between then,
thought it would be fun, but when
started and every last man gave me 6
cut across the end of my back with 4
hickory switch, I yelled murder, ant
run between the giants legs ant
tackled him like football. I topplet
him over against the next man, ant
that man hit the giant in the stomach
and eeverybodyt began to fight, and thu
festivities broke up.
l., Invent to the house with the boy
and the dogs, and we set the dogs OF
a. mess of cats, and freed everything
alive on the plantation. Finally tn.
| whole crowd came back to the house
and had another lunch, with min
julep, and champagne, and then every
body was hugging some one, and cry
| ing on each others neck, and swear
ing that the war was over, and tina
| the north and the south were one ant
inseparable, and the two together coult
! whip the whole world.
Pa somehow saw double I wa
| standing alone, smarting from tn,
switching I got, when pa came up tt
me and said: Il want you two boy
to understand that I don't want an.
| more experiments played on me-
can take joke as we'll as anybody
but. when you set hundred dogs OF
| my trail, l am no gentleman, see
Now we will go back to the show"
