us takes what's in the first trap and the other
takes what's in the next - and so on, till

Sounds fair enough" Luke said.

conveniently overlooked the fact that Luke

cause in addition to being easygoing and good
natured, he recognized me as his better, for

the possible exceptions of tree-climbing and
berypicking, and by sneering at his skill III
those particular endeavors took some of the

not only bigger and stronger than Luke, but
cleverer as we'll, and it seemed fair that my
superiority should bring me recognition and
profit.
The profit came first
Each winter Luke and I set out traps in the

game abounded. As our traps were much alike

Although our farm was a good five miles
from the handful of buildings which then con-

there were exactly three houses in that entire
distance - the Trenholm place, the Morley
place and our own. Despite all that elbow
room, the three farms we're comparatively
close together and the three families saw a
good deal of each other They had one thing in
common: a shortage of boys In my family

daughters; in the Morley family Luke was also
an only son as against four girls; and in the
Trenholm family there were three daughters
and no sons at all.
Luke Morley was year or SO my senior,

inches taller and many pounds heavier. My
physical advantage increased with every year

nothing of the sort. Though always small for
his years, he was lean and wiry and stronger
than one would have imagined, as learned
one day to my sorrow.

our free time was spent in each others COM
pany When any differences arose they were
quickly settled - usually due to Lukes easy

hunting or fishing alone or play whatever
effeminate game our sisters or the Trenholm
girls could also play. If Luke finished his
