Saturday, February 14, 1920 the river, and didn't have 'ncv weapon with him, which w?s blame' foolish ness, and in a lonesome place he hears, a horse a-coming behind him, and sees old Baldy Shepherdson a linkin' after him with his gun in his hand and his white hair a-flying in the wini; and 'stead of jumping off and taking to the brush, Bud. 'lowed he could outrun him; so they had it, nip. and.. tuck, forfive. ,mile:or. more, the old man a-gaining all the time; so . at last Bud seen it warn't any use, so he stopped and faced around so asto have the bullet-holes in front, you know, and the old man he rode up and shot him down. But he" didn't eh much chance to enjoy his luck, for inside of a week our folks laid him out." "I reckon that old man was a cow ard, Buck." "I reckon he warn't a coward. Not by a blame' sight. There ain't a coward amongst them Shepherdsons not a one. And there ain't no cow ards amongst the Grangerf ords eith er. Why, that old man kep' up his end in' fight one day for half an hour against three Grangerf ords, and come out winner. They was all a-horse back; he lit off of his horse and got behind a little woodpile, and kep' his horse before him to stop the bullets; but the Grangerf ords stayed on their horses and capered around the old man, and peppered away at him, and he peppered away at them. Him and his horse both went home pretty leaky and crippled, but the Granger fords had to be fetched home and one of 'em was dead, and another died the next day. No, sir; if a body's out hunting for cowards 1 he don't want to fool away, any time amongst them Shepherdsons, becuz they don't breed any of that kind." Next Sunday we all went to church, about three mile, everybody a-horse-back. The men took their guns along, so did Buck, and kept them between their . knees or stood them handy against the wall. 'The Shepherdsons done the same. It was pretty ornery preaching all about brotherly love, everybody said it was a good sermon, and they all talked it over going home, and had such a powerful lot to say about faith and good works and free grace and preforeordestination, and I don't know what all, that it did seem to me to be one of .the roughest Sundays I had run across yet. About an hour after dinner everybody- was dpzirtg, arotfnd, some in their chairs and some in their rooms, and it grot to be orettv dull. Buck and a dog was stretched out on the grass in the sun sound asleep. I went up to our room, and judged I would itake a nap myself. I found that sweet Miss Sophia standing in. her door, which was next to ours, and she took me in her room and shut the door very soft, and asked me if I liked her, and I said I Mid; and she asked me if I would do something for her and not tell anybody, and I said I would. Then she said she'd forgot her Testa ment, and left it in the seat at church between two other books, and would I slip out. quiet and go there and fetch it to her, and-not say nothing, to nobody. I said I would. So I slid out and slipped off up the road, and there warn't anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warn't any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summer-time because it's cool. If you notice, : most folks don't go to church 6nly when they've got to; but a hog is different. (To be continued) Mr. Corderian Is this the office of Cento's Certain Cure? Patent Medicine Man Ves.
