"What does the sheriff get for coming away up here?" "Thirty cents for each witness he cotches. He won't git me, Mister Man; not if I know these woods since yistiddy."

"I reckon sometime yistiddy; but it couldn' a-been so ve'y long ago, noway!" Without another word Jane pushed back the sums and passed swiftly stableward across the lawn.

The governor wouldn't requisition you, they all's good as said. He wouldn't, either, Tom. I know he wouldn't." Then her eyes widened with horror. "Oh, I wasn't goin' to tell you that!" she gasped.
The consumptive rolled his head weakly from side to side and swallowed desperately. "Pardoned out in writin' yistiddy." "You air in purty bad shape," said Shem. "Yes," the words came very slowly "my lungs give out on me and my eyes. But but I got here." "You come jist in time," said his cousin; "this time tomorrer and you wouldn't a' never found me here. I'd 'a' been gone." "Gone! gone whar?"

" Ad the bank; yesseh," said Narcisse, and went. Mary, cooking supper, uttered a soft exclamation of pleasure and relief as she heard John's step under the alley window and then at the door.
But I des' tol' huh dat no robber was n't goin' to bothah de po' niggah down in de ya'd wid de rich white man up at de house. But fin'lly I listened to huh an' sposited it yistiddy." "You 're a liar! you 're a liar, you black thief!" Oakley broke in impetuously. "You have learned your lesson well, but you can't cheat me. I know where that money came from." "Calm yourself, Mr.
"Lawd, marster, hit's so long ago, I'd a'most forgit all about it, ef I hedn' been wid him ever sence he wuz born. Ez 'tis, I remembers it jes' like 'twuz yistiddy. Yo' know Marse Chan an' me we wuz boys togedder. I wuz older'n he wuz, jes' de same ez he wuz whiter'n me.
"HIT look like ter me," said Uncle Remus, frowning, as the little boy came hopping and skipping into the old man's cabin, "dat I see a young un 'bout yo' size playin' en makin' free wid dem ar chilluns er ole Miss Favers's yistiddy, en w'en I seed dat, I drap my axe, en I come in yer en sot flat down right whar you er settin' now, en I say ter myse'f dat it's 'bout time fer ole Remus fer ter hang up en quit.
