'T wouldn't take my team more 'n half a minute to butt the life out o' Tom's team." An' with that little Tommy Deems, why, he commenced to cry, an' 'stid o' punishin' him for bein' sech a cry-baby, what did the teacher do but give Sonny another check, for castin' slurs on Tommy's animals, an' gettin' Tommy's feelin's hurted!
"Since then ye've jest kinderly pitied me, I reckon ... an' been plum charitable.... I've got ter know.... War ye mad at me when ye pondered hit in ther daylight ... stid of ther moonshine?" The girl's pale face flushed to a laurel-blossom pink and her voice was a ghost whisper. "I hain't nuver been mad with ye, Cal."
"Here I be," said the scout and trapper. "What happened to you?" "S'arched an' shoved me into a dark hole in the wall. Ye know, Jack, with you an' me, it allus 'pears to be workin'." "What?" "Good luck. Cur'us thing the papers was on you 'stid of me ayes, sir, 'twas. Did ye hand 'em over safe?" "Last night I put 'em in Franklin's hands." "Hunkidory! I'm ready fer to go hum." "Not yet I hope.
Dat orful human natur gwine to come in now an' I belebe dat folks who know you an' all 'bout you'se family will help you, 'stid ob talkin' agin you. You see. You knows I doan' mean no disrespec' to ole Missus, but she'd jes sit down an' starbe, tinkin' ob de good dinners she orter hab, an' did hab in de ole times. All you'se folks in hebin is a smilin' on you, honey.
Two bullets hissed from the court-house, and he fell back. A shot sounded from the bushes far away from the road. The horse kept on, and splashed into Troubled Fork, and Steve swore bitterly. "Hit hain't Jim. Hit's that mis'able Bud Vickers; he's been a-stan din' guard out'n the bushes 'stid o' the road. That was a spy, I tell ye, 'n' the coward let him in and let him out.
An' when time's o' consekens an' you got to arn your livin', you don' want to be playin' 'bout Casquets an' Jarsey 'stid of gittin' 'cross to Sark an' done wi' it." "Not a bit of it. You're quite right. Try some of this," as he began fumbling meaningly with a black stump of a pipe.
'Stid er saying, 'my precious mother, I love you and want to be good because you want me to, about every hour, I had better wipe the twins' noses, and wash the dirt often them, and light Aunt Dilsie's phthisic pipe, and get things upstairs for Sallie and Miss Jasmine and everybody when they are downstairs. I'm too busy, I am, to be so religious. And I'm too hungry to talk any more about it."
Ef Steve would only jes repent, 'n' ef, 'stid o' fightin' the Lord by takin' human life, he'd fight fer Him by savin' it, I reckon the Lord would fergive him. Fer ef ye lose yer life fer Him, He do say you'll find it agin somewhar sometime." Old Gabe did not see the sullen despair that came into the boy's tense face.
"Ye bet I do," answered Dannie. "Heard ane goin' over in the nicht. How long is it now till the Kingfisher comes?" "Just a little while," said Jimmy. "If only these March storms would let up 'stid of down! He can't come until he can fish, you know. He's got to have crabs and minnies to live on."
Ef that had been young Jas 'stid o' Marthy, I reckon ye would 'a' killed him right thar." "I wasn't going to let him kill me," was the sullen answer.

He had never before listened to remonstrance with such patience, and old Gabe grew bold.
