It was the dismalest prospect you ever saw the pourest pine barrens It made you hungry to just ride along and look at the country; and the houses were mighty wide apart "At Inst I saw a light, and rode up to a cabin by the side of the road, and found an old woman sitting in the door smoking a pipe.

You better believe the pipe was laid on the shelf, and about every fifteen minutes she'd say to herself: " 'Hit's the fust ginnywine coffee Tve seed for three years. "Well, sir, 1 won't undertake to say that Bhe sat there all night and poured hot coffee down her throat, because slept like a top and don't know what she did do but I'll agree to never tell the trnth aguin if she wasn't sitting there the next morning bunkered np over the ashes and a-driuking away, and the first thing I heard wub: " "(Jinnywine o-o-f-f "She stopped drinking long enough to cook me some breakfast, and then i gave her another quart of the green berries and rode away The last 1 saw of her she was making n fresh potful, and the last words I beurd were: Uoodby, stranger.
