got no call to know 'boyt them white

"Minervy! how did you know bout
them white oaks yourself, when yer
was in the house a gitten dinner?'
he asked reprovingly.
"I heered you er talkin' ez amt
deaf and wasn't goin' to stuff cotton
in my ears, to keep from hearin' you
all hagglin'," she retorted.
Lode, the heir apparent of Jerry
Dixon's fortunes, came slouching
around the corner of the house at
this point of the conversation and
nodded at John Morrison, at the same
time giving hitch to his clothes as
if they needed encouragement to
cling to the long lank figure.
"Air dinner ready, 'Nervy?" he
asked.
EFF you'll just step out ther' an
fetch me a few sticks Of wood, III
hav' it neady in no time" To Merry
came a sudden inspiration as she beat
the corn meal, and she whispered to
her brother: "Lode, as he'll be here
for dinner" indicating their guest
with a nod of her head in his direc-
ton, 'spose you run down to the set
line an see if 'taint got a fish on it.
I'll have hot water and scald it, 'twont
take more'n a minute to scale it, an
'twould help out So"
Lode, infected by his sisters spirit
of hospitality, set out with surprising
alacrity.
eve amt got much,' she mused, as
she looked over her stock of table,
ware, consisting of a few plates,
three cups with handles intact, a
sugar bowl that was heavy enough to
stand the wear and tear Of three gen.
erations, and decrepid knives and
forks. 'Nervy looked trihe dissat-
isfed, and scanned the wall Of the
apartment, which served as general
living room, as if seeking some adorn-
ment for the hospitable board. Her
eyes fell upon a small plate with

1T amt no use trying to judge Of

settln' there, hev known her to fol-
low trail as has been cold for two
days. At this point Of the diagnosis
of the canine characteristics , old
Fashion raised her voice in a pro-
longed howl as if to join in the dis
course, or in remembrance of the
cold trail' referred to.
John Morrison had the eye of a
sportsman and did not disdain to
study the points of "pot Ticker stock,'
as the hybrid hounds of the country
are called. To one fond Of hunting a
dog IS always an object of interest.
Il have two English fox hounds up
at my camp; they are excellent deer
dogs. While am in the neighborhood
| would like to join in your hunts.
My dogs are thoroughbreds, of the
famous strain of the Walker dogs of
Kentucky. l think a great deal Of
them."
Lode looked with Increased inter-
est at the stranger, as he rose to
leave, and Joined his father in offers
Of hospitality and urged him to re-
turn and join the hunt on Saturday,
as they were sure to "jump the old
buck"
Morrison promised if possible to be
there with his dogs at sunrise. Jerry
escorted him across the clearing tc

woods to the bayou ford. Merry
stood on the porch as he mounted his
horse. He lifted his hat with smile
of acknowledgment and thanked hel
for her share in his entertainment
for which Jerry would accept no re-
muneration, then rode away leaving

years. Any chance Of hunt, Lode"
"Wa'al, Bill said if me and you
would bring our dogs and meet Jed
and Benson and come round to Ma
sons old field, we'd be apt to skeer
up that same old buck. He said how
he couldn't 20 on account Of leaving
the store on Saturday, and the others
couldn't go no other day but Satur-
day, so he said we could have his
dogs. Bill would be right thar arter
that deer, but most folks do their ira
din at the settlement store on Satur-
day. drawled Lode in explanation
to Morrison as to why the hunting
party was to be deprived of the So
ciety of Bill Henderson, who was not
only owner of a half dozen hounds of
questionable lineage, but also pro-
prietor Of the one store in the "settle-
ment."
enx
"Ill take our dogs" remarked
Jerry as he and Morrison sat on a
bench in the shadow Of the cabin
waiting for it to grow cooler before
Morrison returned to his camp up the
river. Lode was squatting near them,
"sitting on his heels,' a position Pc
culiar to him, the two dogs referred
to were members Of this council, two
hounds of doubtful pedigree, who
looked as detected and cadaverous as
only dogs of their species can.
"As far as 1 knows" continued
Jerry, "Bill amt got no dog in his
pack as can start trail better'n old
Deal, and as for Fashion, she hev a
cold nose for game and can't be beat
in these parts, yer can see for your
self she's built like deer, she don't

she sights the game"
Old Deal and Fashion, In the man
ner of hounds, understanding this eu-
!logy, hung their heads still lower
until their long ears fairly covered
their eyes, while they beat tattoo
of appreciation with their tails upon

PART II.
Minerva Dickson, whose claslca!
name had been converted into the less
dignified abbreviation Of "Nervy," set
out for the settlement store on Satur-
day to do some "tradin'." This was
a rare event, and to her the store,
with its half dozen loungers rum1'
mating on the rckety steps and ga1'
lery, its gaily colored lithograph IN
the window on an Indian in war paint
drinking beer, its display of canned
fruit, its rows of bottles, and its stock
of prints seemed very pretentlons
place to her inexperienced eyes. she
was not often seen at the settlement,
and her presence excited some IN
terest.
"Hello! thar's Jerry Dixon's ga!

the outstanders as 'Nervy approach
ed; "it amt often yer see her round
about these diggings."
"Howdy, Merry; how's yer pa!"
said the proprietor, Bill Hudson, q
gaunt man with vivid red suspenders
that supported pair Of gray jeans
pants that proclaimed to the general
public by their stiffness that they
were recent acquisition to the wear
er's wardrobe.
"He,s tolerable!" responded Merry

working their way down through the
timber
Jerry was not to be hurried in this
one business transaction of his life,
and ne gave no sign Of assent nor any
sign Of the delighted vista he saw
opening through the sale of his white
oaks. He saw Lode's old "dugout"
with double paddle relieved from
duty, and in its place long skiff
with oars moored to the boat stake.
He saw fishing tackle, the finest the
settlement stores boasted Of, in his
possession, and when this point Of the
prospective prosperity was reached
he was brought to realities of barter
and trade by Morrison saying rather
sharply:
"Well, Mr.. Dixon, what are your
figures on one hundred?"
"A hundred white oaks! Mister
Morrison?" he seemed calculating,
but to tell the truth Jerry had no
knowledge Of the sale Of trees. 1t
was a new departure. He had cut
down and burned trees to rid his land
Of them, but had never looked upon
them as source Of revenue. He
could ride in any direction through
miles and miles of unbroken forests
and regarded trees as a burden to the
soil, nothing more.
Morrison settled the matter by
saying, 81 have been buying them at
two dollars apiece as they stand"
1.-TWO hundred dollars!" Jerry was
startled at his ,stolidity by this sud-
den succession of wealth, but he
reached out his hand to Morrison
saying, "It's a trade"
81 will have my men down here in
about week." said Morrison.
"Ov course, ov course" replied
Jerry mechanically.
"Minervy," he suddenly called, is
that 'er Lode 'er whistlin' back Of the
shed?"
