These were the thoughts that caused him to relax his iron grip and smile as he sat by the window, smoking his corn-cob pipe and taking one of his very rare periods of rest. Presently he glanced at the clock. "It's only quarter-past four," he said. "I thought 't was later, but the snow makes it so light you can't jedge the time. The moon fulls to-night, don't it?
"So, to keep the house quiet for her, and give you a taste of the fun, your Pa fetched us all up to spend the evenin', and we are goin' to have a jolly time on't, to jedge by the looks of things," said Aunt Cinthy, briskly finishing the tale when Mrs. Bassett paused for want of breath. "What in the world put it into your head we was comin', and set you to gettin' up such a supper?" asked Mr.
Waal, you hurry up and tell him J. B. Cadwaller of Lone Pine, Montana, an American citizen, wants to see him right smart." The orderly came in and saluted. "A man to see you, Sir," he said. "An American." "What business?" "Horse-stealing case, Sir." "Show him in!" In a moment the orderly returned, followed by, not one, but three American citizens. "Good-day, Jedge!
Again he began: "I guess, Jedge, you'd better take my plan, 'twould be surer. No! Wall, suppose I take two six-shooters, one loaded, the other empty, and put them under a capote on the table in the next room. You could both go in and draw for weapons; that'd be square, I reckon?" and he waited for the Judge's reply. "Yes," replied Rablay, "that'd be fair. I agree to that."
I tell you now to settle old scores with the lady whom I found in your hands to-night. If you don't, you're not going to the Senate." Hardin gathers himself. Ah, that hand in the pocket!

An' when me an' them boys was a workin' up there we could hear that little woman a singin' down at the house a singin' the songs of glory she had hearn the old soldiers sing. Well, one day me an' them boys twin boys, Jedge, was a hoein' the co'n in the field. I ricolleck it jest as well as if it was yistidy. An' atter all these years I can hear that song a comin' up from the house.

Dodd, who was not sure now that this was not the fire and the other the frying-pan, pulled at his tuft until words came to him. "Jedge," he said finally, "I must say I'm a mite surprised. I must say your language is unwarranted." "The truth is never unwarranted," said the judge. "For the sake of the fair name of Brampton," began Mr. Dodd, "we cannot allow " "Mr.
"W w w well, you can't tell h h how far it is, the r r road's so crooked." "Captain," said the Judge, "this boy should not have been brought down here. Let him stand aside.

"No, jedge," he said; "we won't have to leave the outfit anywhere. There'll be a heap of hard work at some spots, but we can make our way through, and we can come and go by this track forever after it's well opened."
