Ef that didn't fetch him, I'd consider it a Christian duty an' privilege to put a hole through him." "I couldn't do that," replied the deacon, "even ef I was a man uv blood; fur Hesby loves him, an' he's Pet's dad; Besides, his pictur looks like a decent young chap ain't got no hair on his face, an' looks more like an innercent boy than anythin' else.

Now, Marse Alfred, Bedney did tack the hank'cher inside the portrait of President Linkum, 'cause we thought that was the saftest place, but I knowed the house would be sarched, so I jest hid it in a better place.
All owing to that good feller Dent standing up for him, and witnessing for him, and proving him as innercent as the babe unborn. My word! worn't he glad to get his liberty.

You'd know Will's fist ef you see'd it on an envelope now wouldn't you?"
And with all her force she endeavoured to wrench his hand away. He tore it from her, and hit out at her backwards a blow that sent her reeling against the wall.

There was Mrs. Rathburn in a wide-brimmed hat, plying her embroidery needle and looking, from afar, the picture of contentment.
You dash off on a false trail t' arrest a innercent man. Kiddie has a way o' workin' that's all his own, an' if he don't allus hit the bull's-eye fust shot, at least he never misses the target."
