ing on the doorsteps. "Meldte the \vu:
fritter of the lot was named Toi

Tom was outer sorts and opened c
me. lie looks at me a lonp time wit
a plnre in ids eye. Then he throw
down his hat nml Jumps 011 it an
yells:

"I seed he was try in' to pick a qua

him and tried to pit away.
"I was in niiphty pore liealtli." e:
plained Zeb. "and no match fur sicli
man, and so I had to crawtish. Ei
erybody said 1 orter slioot him dowi
but 1 couldn't shed blood that way. ]
hurts tne to this day to remember tlu
I went home like a whipped cur, leavii
that critter crow over me, but my miu
was made up to tackle liini as soon a
1 felt like a ninn ap'in. When 1 p<

sez to me, sez she:
"'Zeb, has the wah broke out ap'in

"'Jest backed yo' down, did he?"
" 'lie did. It's the fust time In m

" 'Reckon it is, Zeb. I knows how y<

I'll go right at it and nurse yo' uj
and In fo' weeks yo'U be titten to who
Tom Smith till he can't hoot. If y<
hain't, I'll put 011 yo'r clothes an

"I felt better arter that," said Zel

yere them days, as nobody had bee
home to kill 'em off. About the tim
I cotched sight of the b'ar Torn Kmit
showed up. Tom saw me a-sittii

tree and throwed down his hat an
yelled, 'Zeb White, nr' that yo' a-soi

" 'It nr'.'
' 'Do yo' call yo'self a man?'
" 'Not a well man. If yo'll gin 111
