I ain't goin' to take no advantage on ye. Now we're squar'," said he, as he blazoned the document with his coarse and clumsy sign-manual. "Put that in yer pocket, an' keep it for five year." "Is the business all settled?" inquired Yates. "Clean," replied Jim. "When am I to have the liberty to go out of the woods?" "Ye ain't goin' out o' the woods for a fortnight.
