Haw Levis called from * the kitchen, “you get your lasy bones out of that chair and wash upl Dinner’ll be ready la two shakes of a lamb’s tall.” Pop managed to lift his ate feet of bane and sinew to his feet and headed for the kitchen sink. “Don’t you go usin’ that clean towel, neither.” Maw admonished. “That's for company. Use the roller towel. Sakes alive, I do believe you’d wipe your dirty feet on the front door mat if I'd leave it out** “What’s a door mat fer*’ Pop dared, “if it ain’t to wipe feet on?” Pop gave the roller towel a vicious Jerk. “Y’know tonight bein’ New Year’s Eve, Maw. you ’nd me ought to step out somewheres. They’re having a big shindig over at the a "Jed Biter's •renin’ Corners store. Jed Haley’s open in’ a keg." "If it’s anything like that keg be opened Thanksgiving, you ain’t get tin’ any nearer to it than you are right now. Pretty howdy-do. you cornin’ home six o’clock in the mom in’ and shootin’ off the shotgun through the roof so it leaks like a sieve. No. siree. you ain’t even gettln’ mar enough to have a smell of any keg Jed Hafey opens,’’ Maw \ said. ’I Suddenly Pop looked up from his; plate. "Well, consarn! What you cry in’ about, MawT" "1 ain’t crylnv Maw denied. "I’m Just thinkin’—think in’ back fifty-two years. You was payin’ attention to me and kind o’ Jealous like. I couldn’t turn ’round but what you was kissin’ me. You was Jealous o’ Jed Hafey—Jealouser than any thing." Pop snorted disdainfully. "What’d I have to be Jealous o’ Jed Hafey fer? Ten me that" “Plenty," Maw said, "I was going to marry him." Pop dropped his* fork. “You was a-goin* to marry Jed?" "Sure. Only his folks wanted him to marry Edda Stout She owned an the bottom land neatly in Clarke .county. He couldn’t marry me un til he was of age, on account o’ his folks wantin’ him to marry Edda. In a year he figures he can get all , her money and then divorce her and j marry me. Meanwhile he said I might as well iqarry you. then when he got all Edda’s money I could di vorce you and marry him. Said you was about the most harmless male bein’ in all Clarke county and no barm would come to me marryin* you. He said if I married anybody else I might fall in love with him and then he’d lose out." "So that was the way o’ things! I remember. Jed did divorce Edda a year or so later. How come you never told me this before. Lit? And how come you not to divorce me and marry Jed after he got his di vorcer* “How come?" Maw said. "Well. Pop, I guess maybe you was kind e* responsible for that Ain’t no Idl in' bow a woman looks at things un til she’s hogtied to a min. I Just kind o’ forgot about Jr J. Money didn’t matter so much, after alL I j found out it was the m in that mat- I tered. You kind o’ h-.d good ways | about you. Pop. Different kind o' j ways. Only they was the right kind, j Made a girl think twice afore Jump- ! in' from the fry In’ pan into the fire. You was good enough for me. I ‘ found. If there was any better j men’n you. 1 wouldn’t have no way , o’ know in’, o' course. Everything ; was so nice I didn’t think it could be any nicer, so I Just decided to hang onto you and let Jed root for himself.” **By iuml" Pop exclaimed alter a moment’s reflection. “Nov I am ! a’gotn’ to that keg openin’ tonight if.it kills me. And you’re a-goln' with me. LiL I won't have Jed thtnkin’ he didn’t get cheated In the deal, consarn his danged bide!
