By
and
by
the
men
stopped
cavorting
around
and
yelling
.
They
started
riding
towards
the
store
;
then
up
gets
one
of
the
boys
,
draws
a
steady
bead
over
the
wood-rank
,
and
drops
one
of
them
out
of
his
saddle
.
All
the
men
jumped
off
of
their
horses
and
grabbed
the
hurt
one
and
started
to
carry
him
to
the
store
;
and
that
minute
the
two
boys
started
on
the
run
.
They
got
half
way
to
the
tree
I
was
in
before
the
men
noticed
.
Then
the
men
see
them
,
and
jumped
on
their
horses
and
took
out
after
them
.
They
gained
on
the
boys
,
but
it
did
n't
do
no
good
,
the
boys
had
too
good
a
start
;
they
got
to
the
woodpile
that
was
in
front
of
my
tree
,
and
slipped
in
behind
it
,
and
so
they
had
the
bulge
on
the
men
again
.
892
One
of
the
boys
was
Buck
,
and
the
other
was
a
slim
young
chap
about
nineteen
years
old
.
893
The
men
ripped
around
awhile
,
and
then
rode
away
.
As
soon
as
they
was
out
of
sight
I
sung
out
to
Buck
and
told
him
.
He
did
n't
know
what
to
make
of
my
voice
coming
out
of
the
tree
at
first
.
He
was
awful
surprised
.
He
told
me
to
watch
out
sharp
and
let
him
know
when
the
men
come
in
sight
again
;
said
they
was
up
to
some
devilment
or
other
--
would
n't
be
gone
long
.
I
wished
I
was
out
of
that
tree
,
but
I
das
n't
come
down
.
Buck
begun
to
cry
and
rip
,
and
'
lowed
that
him
and
his
cousin
Joe
(
that
was
the
other
young
chap
)
would
make
up
for
this
day
yet
.
He
said
his
father
and
his
two
brothers
was
killed
,
and
two
or
three
of
the
enemy
.
Said
the
Shepherdsons
laid
for
them
in
ambush
.
Buck
said
his
father
and
brothers
ought
to
waited
for
their
relations
--
the
Shepherdsons
was
too
strong
for
them
.
I
asked
him
what
was
become
of
young
Harney
and
Miss
Sophia
.
He
said
they
'd
got
across
the
river
and
was
safe
.
I
was
glad
of
that
;
but
the
way
Buck
did
take
on
because
he
did
n't
manage
to
kill
Harney
that
day
he
shot
at
him
--
I
hai
n't
ever
heard
anything
like
it
.

All
of
a
sudden
,
bang
!
bang
!
bang
!
goes
three
or
four
guns
--
the
men
had
slipped
around
through
the
woods
and
come
in
from
behind
without
their
horses
!
The
boys
jumped
for
the
river
--
both
of
them
hurt
--
and
as
they
swum
down
the
current
the
men
run
along
the
bank
shooting
at
them
and
singing
out
,
"
Kill
them
,
kill
them
!
"
It
made
me
so
sick
I
most
fell
out
of
the
tree
.
895
I
ai
n't
a-going
to
tell
ALL
that
happened
--
it
would
make
me
sick
again
if
I
was
to
do
that
.
I
wished
I
had
n't
ever
come
ashore
that
night
to
see
such
things
.
I
ai
n't
ever
going
to
get
shut
of
them
--
lots
of
times
I
dream
about
them
.
896
I
stayed
in
the
tree
till
it
begun
to
get
dark
,
afraid
to
come
down
.
Sometimes
I
heard
guns
away
off
in
the
woods
;
and
twice
I
seen
little
gangs
of
men
gallop
past
the
log
store
with
guns
;
so
I
reckoned
the
trouble
was
still
a-going
on
.
I
was
mighty
downhearted
;
so
I
made
up
my
mind
I
would
n't
ever
go
anear
that
house
again
,
because
I
reckoned
I
was
to
blame
,
somehow
.
I
judged
that
that
piece
of
paper
meant
that
Miss
Sophia
was
to
meet
Harney
somewheres
at
half-past
two
and
run
off
;
and
I
judged
I
ought
to
told
her
father
about
that
paper
and
the
curious
way
she
acted
,
and
then
maybe
he
would
a
locked
her
up
,
and
this
awful
mess
would
n't
ever
happened
.
897
When
I
got
down
out
of
the
tree
I
crept
along
down
the
river
bank
a
piece
,
and
found
the
two
bodies
laying
in
the
edge
of
the
water
,
and
tugged
at
them
till
I
got
them
ashore
;
then
I
covered
up
their
faces
,
and
got
away
as
quick
as
I
could
.
I
cried
a
little
when
I
was
covering
up
Buck
's
face
,
for
he
was
mighty
good
to
me
.

It
was
just
dark
now
.
I
never
went
near
the
house
,
but
struck
through
the
woods
and
made
for
the
swamp
.
Jim
war
n't
on
his
island
,
so
I
tramped
off
in
a
hurry
for
the
crick
,
and
crowded
through
the
willows
,
red-hot
to
jump
aboard
and
get
out
of
that
awful
country
.
899
The
raft
was
gone
!
My
souls
,
but
I
was
scared
!
I
could
n't
get
my
breath
for
most
a
minute
.
Then
I
raised
a
yell
.
A
voice
not
twenty-five
foot
from
me
says
:
900
"
Good
lan
'
!
is
dat
you
,
honey
?
Doan
'
make
no
noise
.
"
