1"Why, how did you get hold of the raft again, Jim--did you catch her?" "How I gwyne to ketch her en I out in de woods?
2No; some er de niggers foun' her ketched on a snag along heah in de ben', en dey hid her in a crick 'mongst de willows,
3en dey wuz so much jawin' 'bout which un 'um she b'long to de mos' dat I come to heah 'bout it pooty soon, so I ups en
4settles de trouble by tellin' 'um she don't b'long to none uv um, but to you en me; en I ast 'm if dey gwyne to grab a
5young white genlman's propaty, en git a hid'n for it? Den I gin 'm ten cents apiece, en dey 'uz mighty well satisfied,
6en wisht some mo' raf's 'ud come along en make 'm rich agin. Dey's mighty good to me, dese niggers is, en whatever I
7wants 'm to do fur me, I doan' have to ast 'm twice, honey. Dat Jack's a good nigger, en pooty smart." "Yes, he is. He
8ain't ever told me you was here; told me to come, and he'd show me a lot of water-moccasins. If anything happens he
9ain't mixed up in it. He can say he never seen us together, and it'll be the truth." I don't want to talk much about the
10next day. I reckon I'll cut it pretty short. I waked up about dawn, and was a-going to turn over and go to sleep again,
11when I noticed how still it was--didn't seem to be anybody stirring. That warn't usual. Next I noticed that Buck was up
12and gone. Well, I gets up, a-wondering, and goes down stairs--nobody around; everything as still as a mouse. Just the
13same outside. Thinks I, what does it mean? Down by the wood-pile I comes across my Jack, and says: "What's it all
14about?" Says he: "Don't you know, Mars Jawge?" "No," says I, "I don't." "Well, den, Miss Sophia's run off! 'deed she
15has. She run off in de night some time--nobody don't know jis' when; run off to get married to dat young Harney
16Shepherdson, you know--leastways, so dey 'spec. De fambly foun' it out 'bout half an hour ago--maybe a little mo'--en' I
17tell you dey warn't no time los'. Sich another hurryin' up guns en hosses you never see! De women folks has gone for to
18stir up de relations, en ole Mars Saul en de boys tuck dey guns en rode up de river road for to try to ketch dat young
19man en kill him 'fo' he kin git acrost de river wid Miss Sophia. I reck'n dey's gwyne to be mighty rough times." "Buck
20went off 'thout waking me up." "Well, I reck'n he did! Dey warn't gwyne to mix you up in it. Mars Buck he loaded up his
21gun en 'lowed he's gwyne to fetch home a Shepherdson or bust. Well, dey'll be plenty un 'm dah, I reck'n, en you bet you
22he'll fetch one ef he gits a chanst." I took up the river road as hard as I could put. By-and-by I begin to hear guns a
23good ways off. When I come in sight of the log store and the woodpile where the steamboats lands, I worked along under
24the trees and brush till I got to a good place, and then I clumb up into the forks of a cottonwood that was out of
25reach, and watched. There was a wood-rank four foot high a little ways in front of the tree, and first I was going to
26hide behind that; but maybe it was luckier I didn't. There was four or five men cavorting around on their horses in the
27open place before the log store, cussing and yelling, and trying to get at a couple of young chaps that was behind the
28wood-rank alongside of the steamboat landing; but they couldn't come it. Every time one of them showed himself on the
29river side of the woodpile he got shot at. The two boys was squatting back to back behind the pile, so they could watch
30both ways. By-and-by the men stopped cavorting around and yelling. They started riding towards the store; then up gets
31one 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
32of their horses and grabbed the hurt one and started to carry him to the store; and that minute the two boys started on
33the run. They got half way to the tree I was in before the men noticed. Then the men see them, and jumped on their
34horses and took out after them. They gained on the boys, but it didn't do no good, the boys had too good a start; they
35got 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.
36One of the boys was Buck, and the other was a slim young chap about nineteen years old. The men ripped around awhile,
37and then rode away. As soon as they was out of sight I sung out to Buck and told him. He didn't know what to make of my
38voice coming out of the tree at first. He was awful surprised. He told me to watch out sharp and let him know when the
39men come in sight again; said they was up to some devilment or other--wouldn't be gone long. I wished I was out of that
40tree, but I dasn't come down. Buck begun to cry and rip, and 'lowed that him and his cousin Joe (that was the other
41young chap) would make up for this day yet. He said his father and his two brothers was killed, and two or three of the
42enemy. Said the Shepherdsons laid for them in ambush. Buck said his father and brothers ought to waited for their
43relations--the Shepherdsons was too strong for them. I asked him what was become of young Harney and Miss Sophia. He
44said they'd got across the river and was safe. I was glad of that; but the way Buck did take on because he didn't manage
45to kill Harney that day he shot at him--I hain't ever heard anything like it. All of a sudden, bang! bang! bang! goes
46three or four guns--the men had slipped around through the woods and come in from behind without their horses! The boys
47jumped for the river--both of them hurt--and as they swum down the current the men run along the bank shooting at them
48and singing out, "Kill them, kill them!" It made me so sick I most fell out of the tree. I ain't a-going to tell all
49that happened--it would make me sick again if I was to do that. I wished I hadn't ever come ashore that night to see
50such things. I ain't ever going to get shut of them--lots of times I dream about them. I stayed in the tree till it
51begun to get dark, afraid to come down. Sometimes I heard guns away off in the woods; and twice I seen little gangs of
52men gallop past the log store with guns; so I reckoned the trouble was still a-going on. I was mighty downhearted; so I
53made up my mind I wouldn't ever go anear that house again, because I reckoned I was to blame, somehow. I judged that
54that piece of paper meant that Miss Sophia was to meet Harney somewheres at half-past two and run off; and I judged I
55ought to told her father about that paper and the curious way she acted, and then maybe he would a locked her up, and
56this awful mess wouldn't ever happened. When I got down out of the tree, I crept along down the river bank a piece, and
57found the two bodies laying in the edge of the water, and tugged at them till I got them ashore; then I covered up their
58faces, 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
59me. It was just dark now. I never went near the house, but struck through the woods and made for the swamp. Jim warn't
60on his island, so I tramped off in a hurry for the crick, and crowded through the willows, red-hot to jump aboard and
61get out of that awful country. The raft was gone! My souls, but I was scared! I couldn't get my breath for most a
62minute. Then I raised a yell. A voice not twenty-five foot from me says: "Good lan'! is dat you, honey? Doan' make no
63noise."
