Or does he think a great deal without being able to find words to express his thoughts?" A prolonged moan, a lowing of cattle in pain, came to his ears. He made directly for the sound, and soon saw the herd huddled together by the snake-fence which zigzagged along the bank of the creek.
However, matters were soon arranged. A rail from a snake-fence was procured, the panther's legs were tied to it, and in this way he was borne to the village. The news quickly spread, and all the population, apparently, of the village assembled to see the sight and to hear the story.

"Yet you seem to prefer a great diamond gleaming in a white shirt-front, and a coarse, common face, and vulgar talk. "You," and he turned to her, "whose beauty is like the beauty of nature itself, perfect and ineffable. When I think of you and that coarse brute together, I shall always remember this moonlight and the hateful zig- zagging snake-fence there that disfigures and defiles its beauty."
The carpenters were still very busy fitting up the interior of the house, and the other men were splitting rails for a snake-fence and also selecting small timber for raising a high palisade round the premises. Martin had not been idle.
"I felt mighty shaky once, I rickalect; dat time yalla m'latta man shootin' at me f 'um behime a snake-fence." "Shootin' at you!" Jane cried, stirred from her accustomed placidity. "Mr. Genesis! What DID he do that for?" "Nuff'm!" replied Mr. Genesis, with feeling. "Nuff'm in de wide worl'! He boun' to shoot SOMEbody, an' pick on me 'cause I 'uz de handies'."
It had been decided that the four cows, which had been driven round from the fort, should be housed during the winter in the small building on the other side of the stream, which had belonged to Malachi Bone, as it was surrounded with a high snake-fence, and sufficiently large to hold them and even more.
Perhaps because it was coming in like a lion it would go out like a lamb. It is nearly a year since we first saw Peggy Stewart seated in the crotch of the snake-fence talking with Shashai and Tzaritza, and in that year her whole outlook upon life has changed. True it was then later in the month and spring filled the air, but a few weeks make vast changes in a Maryland springtide.
Twice he pulled in his horse, thinking he heard voices in the wood. The third time he stopped and got out. At infrequent intervals a groan broke the stillness. He climbed the snake-fence and beat about among the bushes. The groan came again, and he followed the sound. At the foot of a tall beech-tree a body was lying face downward. He held his lantern above his head and bent over it.
Come now-keep thinking about it-every step!" As the end of the day approached, a lull came in the gale, and the snow fell less freely. The consequently widened horizon of vision was eminently comforting, and Aladdin's unpleasant feeling of anxiety almost disappeared. Suddenly he was aware of a red horse. It was standing almost leg-clear, in an angle of what seemed a drifted-over snake-fence.
