"Now, boy," he said, "luck's ben a-comin' mighty hard for you and me these last few weeks, and I ain 't a-sayin' it's over yit for both o' us." Checkers made no response. The old man chewed ruminatingly, and spat at a "devil's-horse" which sat alertly atop of a shrub near by.

"Nope; I ain't a-sayin' nothin' ... I goes home to my mammy." If Tess had never seen the hue of death upon a human face, she saw it now. The boy rose totteringly, and Tessibel, with a tender expression in her eyes, opened the door. "Ezy, I's sorry for ye! I's sorry that I slicked the dirty dishrag in yer face.
