with great cigars in their mouths, and
large baskets of wares on their heads,

market is held.
Strong and happy, they wade through
the streams and the mud, calling out to
one another as they go, and only stop
ping to get fresh light for their cigars
from some one of their number or some
one whom they chance to meet. Once
at market they chat, smoke, laugh and
barter for hours over a few small to-
matoes, some green squash, a live
chicken, eggs, fruit, sugar or anything
they happen to have, and toward noon
they straggle home, having had good
visit and sold or exchanged their wares
