I never could discover. To make a Jong story short, I took Sal to a romping, tearing two dollar hall.

Bitn-by I got dizzy, and the next thing I kuowed I was setting on n sofa I and that oi-e angel a holding salts to my nose, and bending over me like a hen over a spavined chicken. I didn't sue no more, nor hear no more, alter that. How Sal got homo I didn't 1 inquire. I waited on her to the door, , and when she tolled me at parting 1 might cull on her, I went homo chuck full of glory and happiness, and dreamed all night the strangest kind of dreams about iny being it the Garden of Eden, i and playing "high, low Jack" with Gen. Washington and Mary Queen of j Scots. Next day perhaps 1 did not call on j my charmer?wall, 1 reckon I did, though. I bust right out, and cad her j all the angels in creation, and told her L loved her letter than maple ccgar or new oider. "WiH you do mo a favor Y} says she. "Anything in reason or agin reason," said L ^Woll," said she, "looking good enough to eat. "I want you to buy me a cowhide?here's a hit to pay for if."

"He's al>out your size," sars she, with a pcenliar smile t hat I didn't somehow exactly, like. Then she tolled how Sal had been there, and told how share oi'nl I'd treated her?and then?and then ?my stars! if she didn't na? that cow- i hide powerful . . , on," says I, "it hurts.'' "Glad of it," says she, "plenty more licks ylisr them cum frora 1" and she petted away on ray head, and cars, . and limits, and arras, until the air seem od lull of licks and cowhides.
