Well
,
the
days
went
along
,
and
the
river
went
down
between
its
banks
again
;
and
about
the
first
thing
we
done
was
to
bait
one
of
the
big
hooks
with
a
skinned
rabbit
and
set
it
and
catch
a
catfish
that
was
as
big
as
a
man
,
being
six
foot
two
inches
long
,
and
weighed
over
two
hundred
pounds
.
We
could
n't
handle
him
,
of
course
;
he
would
a
flung
us
into
Illinois
.
We
just
set
there
and
watched
him
rip
and
tear
around
till
he
drownded
.
We
found
a
brass
button
in
his
stomach
and
a
round
ball
,
and
lots
of
rubbage
.
We
split
the
ball
open
with
the
hatchet
,
and
there
was
a
spool
in
it
.
Jim
said
he
'd
had
it
there
a
long
time
,
to
coat
it
over
so
and
make
a
ball
of
it
.
It
was
as
big
a
fish
as
was
ever
catched
in
the
Mississippi
,
I
reckon
.
Jim
said
he
had
n't
ever
seen
a
bigger
one
.
He
would
a
been
worth
a
good
deal
over
at
the
village
.
They
peddle
out
such
a
fish
as
that
by
the
pound
in
the
market-house
there
;
everybody
buys
some
of
him
;
his
meat
's
as
white
as
snow
and
makes
a
good
fry
.

Next
morning
I
said
it
was
getting
slow
and
dull
,
and
I
wanted
to
get
a
stirring
up
some
way
.
I
said
I
reckoned
I
would
slip
over
the
river
and
find
out
what
was
going
on
.
Jim
liked
that
notion
;
but
he
said
I
must
go
in
the
dark
and
look
sharp
.
Then
he
studied
it
over
and
said
,
could
n't
I
put
on
some
of
them
old
things
and
dress
up
like
a
girl
?
That
was
a
good
notion
,
too
.
So
we
shortened
up
one
of
the
calico
gowns
,
and
I
turned
up
my
trouser-legs
to
my
knees
and
got
into
it
.
Jim
hitched
it
behind
with
the
hooks
,
and
it
was
a
fair
fit
333
I
put
on
the
sun-bonnet
and
tied
it
under
my
chin
,
and
then
for
a
body
to
look
in
and
see
my
face
was
like
looking
down
a
joint
of
stove-pipe
.
Jim
said
nobody
would
know
me
,
even
in
the
daytime
,
hardly
.
I
practiced
around
all
day
to
get
the
hang
of
the
things
,
and
by
and
by
I
could
do
pretty
well
in
them
,
only
Jim
said
I
did
n't
walk
like
a
girl
;
and
he
said
I
must
quit
pulling
up
my
gown
to
get
at
my
britches-pocket
.
I
took
notice
,
and
done
better
.

I
started
up
the
Illinois
shore
in
the
canoe
just
after
dark
.
335
I
started
across
to
the
town
from
a
little
below
the
ferry-landing
,
and
the
drift
of
the
current
fetched
me
in
at
the
bottom
of
the
town
.
I
tied
up
and
started
along
the
bank
.
There
was
a
light
burning
in
a
little
shanty
that
had
n't
been
lived
in
for
a
long
time
,
and
I
wondered
who
had
took
up
quarters
there
.
I
slipped
up
and
peeped
in
at
the
window
.
There
was
a
woman
about
forty
year
old
in
there
knitting
by
a
candle
that
was
on
a
pine
table
.
I
did
n't
know
her
face
;
she
was
a
stranger
,
for
you
could
n't
start
a
face
in
that
town
that
I
did
n't
know
.
Now
this
was
lucky
,
because
I
was
weakening
;
I
was
getting
afraid
I
had
come
;
people
might
know
my
voice
and
find
me
out
.
But
if
this
woman
had
been
in
such
a
little
town
two
days
she
could
tell
me
all
I
wanted
to
know
;
so
I
knocked
at
the
door
,
and
made
up
my
mind
I
would
n't
forget
I
was
a
girl
.
336
"
COME
in
,
"
says
the
woman
,
and
I
did
.
She
says
:
"
Take
a
cheer
.
"
337
I
done
it
.
She
looked
me
all
over
with
her
little
shiny
eyes
,
and
says
:
