I reckon the good old doctor saw I was frightened, and he began laughing heartily and saying some kind things about my general appearance.

He went right out with me to warn every man who had a piece of land not to sign anything. "Three weeks ago Rogers, who is handling the whole business for the railroad, came up here and had me arrested on charges of extortion and conspiring to intimidate the land-owners. They took me down to Lowville, but Judge Clemmons couldn't find anything in the charges. So I was let go.
"But I'm old enough to know a warning when I get one. The Lord didn't intend me to be a city girl, or he wouldn't have given me this lesson to-day. I've got my old grand dad up home, and there's Joe Mills, who is foreman in the furniture factory. I think I'd better get back and help Joe spend his eighteen a week in the little Clemmons house the way he wanted me to do."

Somebody suggested shooting the gun across a pond of water, and getting the money that way, but it was decided that the force of the Springfield seemed too great for any body of water in the neighborhood. Then Jabe Clemmons, the "speculative" genius of the neighborhood, spoke up: "Gentlemen, I've an idee. Deacon, how much is in that small haystack of your'n?" "'Bout 10 tons," answered the Deacon.
"May blow the bottom o' your old well out," muttered Jabe Clemmons, who dearly loved anything in the shape of a game of hazard. "I'll resk that," said the Deacon. "I kin dig an other well, if necessary." The Deacon's proposal was carried. Shorty, holding the butt of his gun carefully upright, fired down into the well.
