1I had shut the door to. Then I turned around and there he was. I used to be scared of him all the time, he tanned me so
2much. I reckoned I was scared now, too; but in a minute I see I was mistaken--that is, after the first jolt, as you may
3say, when my breath sort of hitched, he being so unexpected; but right away after I see I warn't scared of him worth
4bothring about. He was most fifty, and he looked it. His hair was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down, and you
5could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. It was all black, no gray; so was his long, mixed-up
6whiskers. There warn't no color in his face, where his face showed; it was white; not like another man's white, but a
7white to make a body sick, a white to make a body's flesh crawl--a tree-toad white, a fish-belly white. As for his
8clothes--just rags, that was all. He had one ankle resting on t'other knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and two of
9his toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then. His hat was laying on the floor--an old black slouch with the
10top caved in, like a lid. I stood a-looking at him; he set there a-looking at me, with his chair tilted back a little. I
11set the candle down. I noticed the window was up; so he had clumb in by the shed. He kept a-looking me all over.
12By-and-by he says: "Starchy clothes--very. You think you're a good deal of a big-bug, don't you?" "Maybe I am, maybe I
13ain't," I says. "Don't you give me none o' your lip," says he. "You've put on considerable many frills since I been
14away. I'll take you down a peg before I get done with you. You're educated, too, they say--can read and write. You think
15you're better'n your father, now, don't you, because he can't? I'll take it out of you. Who told you you might meddle
16with such hifalut'n foolishness, hey?--who told you you could?" "The widow. She told me." "The widow, hey?--and who told
17the widow she could put in her shovel about a thing that ain't none of her business?" "Nobody never told her." "Well,
18I'll learn her how to meddle. And looky here--you drop that school, you hear? I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put
19on airs over his own father and let on to be better'n what he is. You lemme catch you fooling around that school again,
20you hear? Your mother couldn't read, and she couldn't write, nuther, before she died. None of the family couldn't before
21they died. I can't; and here you're a-swelling yourself up like this. I ain't the man to stand it--you hear? Say, lemme
22hear you read." I took up a book and begun something about General Washington and the wars. When I'd read about a half a
23minute, he fetched the book a whack with his hand and knocked it across the house. He says: "It's so. You can do it. I
24had my doubts when you told me. Now looky here; you stop that putting on frills. I won't have it. I'll lay for you, my
25smarty; and if I catch you about that school I'll tan you good. First you know you'll get religion, too. I never see
26such a son." He took up a little blue and yaller picture of some cows and a boy, and says: "What's this?" "It's
27something they give me for learning my lessons good." He tore it up, and says: "I'll give you something better--I'll
28give you a cowhide." He set there a-mumbling and a-growling a minute, and then he says: "Ain't you a sweet-scented
29dandy, though? A bed; and bedclothes; and a look'n'-glass; and a piece of carpet on the floor--and your own father got
30to sleep with the hogs in the tanyard. I never see such a son. I bet I'll take some o' these frills out o' you before
31I'm done with you. Why, there ain't no end to your airs--they say you're rich. Hey?--how's that?" "They lie--that's
32how." "Looky here--mind how you talk to me; I'm a-standing about all I can stand now--so don't gimme no sass. I've been
33in town two days, and I hain't heard nothing but about you bein' rich. I heard about it away down the river, too. That's
34why I come. You git me that money to-morrow--I want it." "I hain't got no money." "It's a lie. Judge Thatcher's got it.
35You git it. I want it." "I hain't got no money, I tell you. You ask Judge Thatcher; he'll tell you the same." "All
36right. I'll ask him; and I'll make him pungle, too, or I'll know the reason why. Say, how much you got in your pocket? I
37want it." "I hain't got only a dollar, and I want that to--" "It don't make no difference what you want it for--you just
38shell it out." He took it and bit it to see if it was good, and then he said he was going down town to get some whisky;
39said he hadn't had a drink all day. When he had got out on the shed he put his head in again, and cussed me for putting
40on frills and trying to be better than him; and when I reckoned he was gone he come back and put his head in again, and
41told me to mind about that school, because he was going to lay for me and lick me if I didn't drop that. Next day he was
42drunk, and he went to Judge Thatcher's and bullyragged him, and tried to make him give up the money; but he couldn't,
43and then he swore he'd make the law force him. The judge and the widow went to law to get the court to take me away from
44him and let one of them be my guardian; but it was a new judge that had just come, and he didn't know the old man; so he
45said courts mustn't interfere and separate families if they could help it; said he'd druther not take a child away from
46its father. So Judge Thatcher and the widow had to quit on the business. That pleased the old man till he couldn't rest.
47He said he'd cowhide me till I was black and blue if I didn't raise some money for him. I borrowed three dollars from
48Judge Thatcher, and pap took it and got drunk, and went a-blowing around and cussing and whooping and carrying on; and
49he kept it up all over town, with a tin pan, till most midnight; then they jailed him, and next day they had him before
50court, and jailed him again for a week. But he said he was satisfied; said he was boss of his son, and he'd make it warm
51for him. When he got out the new judge said he was a-going to make a man of him. So he took him to his own house, and
52dressed him up clean and nice, and had him to breakfast and dinner and supper with the family, and was just old pie to
53him, so to speak. And after supper he talked to him about temperance and such things till the old man cried, and said
54he'd been a fool, and fooled away his life; but now he was a-going to turn over a new leaf and be a man nobody wouldn't
55be ashamed of, and he hoped the judge would help him and not look down on him. The judge said he could hug him for them
56words; so he cried, and his wife she cried again; pap said he'd been a man that had always been misunderstood before,
57and the judge said he believed it. The old man said that what a man wanted that was down was sympathy, and the judge
58said it was so; so they cried again. And when it was bedtime the old man rose up and held out his hand, and says: "Look
59at it, gentlemen and ladies all; take a-hold of it; shake it. There's a hand that was the hand of a hog; but it ain't so
60no more; it's the hand of a man that's started in on a new life, and'll die before he'll go back. You mark them
61words--don't forget I said them. It's a clean hand now; shake it--don't be afeard." So they shook it, one after the
62other, all around, and cried. The judge's wife she kissed it. Then the old man he signed a pledge--made his mark. The
63judge said it was the holiest time on record, or something like that. Then they tucked the old man into a beautiful
64room, which was the spare room, and in the night some time he got powerful thirsty and clumb out on to the porch-roof
65and slid down a stanchion and traded his new coat for a jug of forty-rod, and clumb back again and had a good old time;
66and towards daylight he crawled out again, drunk as a fiddler, and rolled off the porch and broke his left arm in two
67places, and was most froze to death when somebody found him after sun-up. And when they come to look at that spare room
68they had to take soundings before they could navigate it. The judge he felt kind of sore. He said he reckoned a body
69could reform the old man with a shotgun, maybe, but he didn't know no other way.
