Something was working under McHurdie's belt, for Bob could hear it chuckling as he chewed: "Wasn't she a buster? It's funny, ain't it the way we all pick big ones we sawed-offs"? The laugh came a quiet, repressed gurgle, and he added: "Yes by hen, and you long-shanks always pick little dominickers. Eh?" He chewed a meditative cud before venturing, "That's what I told her comin' home to-night."

"There's kindlin' to last a week," he said, "the ax is in the barn, an' ye'll find a bin full o' corn meal there an' a side o' bacon in the cellar. Them hens," he added wistfully "is Dominickers. She was fond o' them an' the Chiny ducks, too." "I'll be kind to them," she said.
