That's what it is, ragged. We don't have any dirty pickaninnies dodging among the horses in our residence streets. I declare, Jinny, if those aren't pigs!" Virginia laughed. She could not help it. "Poor Lige!" she said. "I hope Uncle Daniel has some breakfast for you. You've had a good deal to put up with on this trip."
However, after a moment's peering in that direction, the boy observed what appeared to be a round ball of fur in one corner of the chamber. "Wha what is it bears?" Lige nodded, and, striding over to the heap, he pulled it roughly apart. His act was greeted with a series of savage snarls and growls. "Cubs. Four of them, and beauties, at that.
"Lige," replied the Colonel, "you never do get over a prejudice. Yes, he's coming, just to oversee things. He seems to have mighty little pleasure, and he's got the best business head I ever did see. A Yankee," said Mr. Carvel, meditatively, as he put on his hat, "a Yankee, when he will work, works like all possessed.
One day the sheriff sold the Vicksburg. You remember it. That left me high and dry in the mud. Who bought her, sir? Colonel Carvel. And he says to me, 'Lige, you're captain now, the youngest captain on the river. And she's your boat. You can pay me principal and interest when you get ready. "Judge Whipple, I never had any other home than right in, this house.
"Marse Comyn, you know what I done promise young MISS long time ago, befo' befo' she done left us?" "Yes, Ephum." He saw the faithful old negro but dimly. Faintly he heard the pleading voice. "Marse Comyn, won' you give Ephum a pass down, river, ter fotch Cap'n Lige?" "Ephum," said the Colonel, sadly, "I had a letter from the Captain yesterday. He is at Cairo.
See, there's the papers the quitclaim all drawn up and signed." He drew the roll of paper from his pocket again, apparently forgetful of the adjacent weapon. "Look here, 'Lige," said Harkutt, with a business-like straightening of his lips, "I ain't buyin' any land in Tasajara, least of all yours on the creek. I've got more invested here already than I'll ever get back again.
"And to lose that time," she answered, "may be to have him shot." "But you can't get to the President without credentials," he objected. "What," she flashed, "hasn't any one a right to see the President? You mean to say that he will not see a woman in trouble? Then all these pretty stories I hear of him are false. They are made up by the Yankees." Poor Captain Lige!
Lige Willetts, Minnie's friend I guess she's told you about Lige? well, Lige Willetts will go anywhere when he's following a covey, though mostly the boys leave this part of the country alone when they're hunting; but Lige got into a thicket back of the forge one morning, and he came on a crowd of buzzards quarrelling over a heap on the ground, and he got out in a hurry.
"And to lose that time," she answered, "may be to have him shot." "But you can't get to the President without credentials," he objected.

Legend has always said that Lige Bemis, riding half a mile ahead of the others that night, came to the courtyard; found it guarded by Minneola men, rode back, met John and Bob and the general crossing the bridge over the old ford of the Sycamore, and told them that they could not get into the court-house until the men came up who had ridden out to rescue the commissioners, perhaps a quarter of an hour behind the others, and that even then there must be a fight of doubtful issue; and further that it was after eleven o'clock, and soon would be too late to sign the levy.
