"It don't disturb my in'ards," quoth the serenest of mankind. "Gammon," the farmer addressed him from the front seat, without turning his head: "you'll take and look about for a new place."

However, I called to him and he came up from the smoky camp-fire, axe on shoulder.

Same old rearm' on end straight up. Same old feelin' that you've bested 'em this time. Same old little yank at your mouth when you're up good an' tall.
