How can | stop 1t. pappy?"
by marrying her yourself"
Il got enough, pappy," said Sefy
hopelessly. They'd lynch me if

away
Quick anger famed in his fathers
face at this invertebrNte submission.
And his voice, when he spoke, was
harsher than Sefy had ever heard it,
Got enough-got enough-thats all
you know And go away! That's all
you ken say, you bullheaded IDIOT,
Go and apologize and git her back
Don't run. Then marry her next day.
Thatll settle the molasses-tapper, |
expect. and show that you got an inch
or two of backbone, Choke her
chloroform her and carry her on"
