And Ab and Boarface were each seeking the other. So the struggle lasted for a long half hour, and when it ended there were dead and dying men upon the barrier, while the waters of the creek were reddened by the blood of the slain assailants. The assault now ebbed a little. Neither Ab nor Hilltop had been injured in the struggle.
But why do I thus linger over the sad recital? "Ab uno disce omnes." Nor did I ever see or hear of the peas, or the beans. If our chickens could be brought to the witness-box, they might throw light on the subject. As it is, I drop a natural tear, and pass on to THE FLOWER-GARDEN. It appeared very much behind time, chiefly Roman wormwood. I was grateful even for that.
On Saturday afternoon, or a rainy afternoon, when Alvin York and the "Wright boys," and one of them, "Will" Wright, is president of the bank at Jamestown; Ab Williams, gray of hair and bent, but vigorous of tongue; his son, Sam Williams, tall and straight as an Indian and equally upstanding for his opinions; John Evans, a local justice of the peace; Bill Sharpe, who lives in the shadow of "Old Crow"; T. C. Frogge, of Frogge's Chapel, who farms, preaches or teaches school as the demand arises; "Paster" Pile and his brother, Virgil Pile, who has been County Trustee; when any of these are among those gathered at the store, there is a tournament of wit, with a constant change of program.
All the reflexions of those rays which fall upon the quarter-circle AB will touch a curved line AFE, of which line the end E is at the focus of the hemisphere, that is to say, at the point which divides the semi-diameter BD into two equal parts.

And I could spell 'man'" she put the hand that she had been holding over her ear on a level with her knee "when I was so high." The teacher snorted. "You know your own business," he said to the eldest brother. "Guess we do," chimed in the biggest, grinning. "No use bothering her with a-b, ab, when she can read the things she does." The teacher stood up, ready to go.
"Rock-a-by-baby upon the tree-top" was often a reality in the time of the cave men. Ab was fortunate in being born at a reasonably comfortable stage of the world's history. He had a decent prospect as to clothing and shelter, and there was abundance of food for those brave enough or ingenious enough to win it. The climate was not enervating.
The errand-boy was coming up the passage as they emerged the same errand-boy they had seen half an hour ago in the manager's room; but, as their classical friends would say "Quantum mutatus ab illo Hectore!" His two arms were strung with the handles of frothing tin cans from the elbow to the wrist. He carried two tin cans in his mouth.
Possibly for all things are relative there has never occurred an affair of more social importance within the centuries since. Human beings, dangerous ones, were merry and trusting together, and the young looked at each other. Of course Ab and Oak had been eating in company.
Go to, Ab Gwilym, with thy pseudo-amatory odes, to Morfydd, or this or that other lady, fair or ugly; little didst thou care for any of them, Dame Nature was thy love, however thou mayest seek to disguise the truth. Yes, yes, send thy love- message to Morfydd, the fair wanton.
