in a minute. Now the boats are flatter

manly and accommodating, will curse
you, sub. I own a plantation np tho
river, but it don't amount to anything
now.”
“Is tho land worn out!” I asked.
“Oh, no; land's just ns good ns over,
bnt the conditions that made life there
enjoyable have all been changed. Why,
suh, 1 knocked a fellow down tbo other
day, and hanged if he didn't sue me for
breach of trust.”
“For what?' I oiclaimed.
“For breach of trust, I tell you. He
had me arrested and hauled np before
what is known in our country os a yaller
jeans justice of tho peaoo. Tho follow
stated that he had trusted me or ha

“I didn't offer him any advice—I sim
ply struck him over the head with a
handy carbine and left him lying near
the roadside.''
The old fellow was silent for a few
moments. “I have but little farther to
go,” he said, after gazing down tho
river. ‘‘I havo been dowu to seo about
some land. I got into a sort of squabble
with the government, and wa3 told to
go dowu to Keospart to seo the United
States land commisioner. 1 had bod
some correspondence With the office,
and, from the tone of the letters re

and told to await the pleasure of tho

“Why didn't you appeal the case? 1 1
asked.
“Oh, well, yon seo, I'm not in the
law business. 1 just horsowhippod tho
justice till the dust flashed out of tho
yaller jeans und then 1 lut the affair
drop. I tell you,” he added, after ii
brief pause, “we nsed to havo great
times along here in tho old gentlemanly
days. I remember one evening a sort of
preach r came aboard at a landing just
about here. He was a simple man, with
a meek smile that seemed to have been
morti. ml into his face. I soon got ac
quainted with him nud learned that,
aside from being a preacher, ho operated
a plantation and had eorao liitlo money.
“Among tho juissengers was one of
tho shrewdest gamblers 1 had ever
known, and when he found c«;t that the
preacher had money ho began to lay
plans for catching him. 1 went to tho
preacher and told him. 'That's all
right,’ said he. ‘In this lifo it is but
natural that tho wolves should be after
the sheep.' 'Of courso you will not play
with him,' said L ‘Oh, I don’t know,
This ia the commissioner, snh. Hooked

didn't know what to say.
“ ‘Good mawnin’,’ said ho.
“ ‘Look here, Bill,’ said 1, 'are you tho
United States land commissioner?
“ ‘Dat's whut do president says.' ho
answered with n grin.
“‘Well, if that’s the case, Bill, 1
reckon I might os well go back home. 1
suppose you remember how we parted.
“ 'Oh, yas, sail, 1 ricollcck er little

his head, 'is er part o’ dat nrgyinent yet.

A look of tenderness shone in tho old
man’s eyes. “Yes, suh,” he added, “Bill,
tho rascal, fixed up everything all right

a curious world. Well, 1 get off here.”
