to a boardln' house in the Bronx to supper
with my cousin, Hiram Pepper. He left
Buscom's Bridge seventeen years ago come
next January to make his fortune in New
York. as so many folks don't. He's
clerkin' in a paint store in Third avenue.
There was a corn-fed wldder- there.
Boardin' houses always seems to me to be
popylated with wldders of men thats
worked 'emselves to death. Sometimes
when I listen to 'em I think after all a
long overstraln on the ear drum might
cause death. An' this widder says. "Oh
my. the farmers is all coinin' money now:
They got automobiles an’ telephones an
they go to the movin' pitchers every Saddy

"Yes, mom," I says: "they run automo-

enough to think they’re glttin' rich."
“Why," she says, ilullln' up her fur but
purring' the way widders does, “be you n

“I think I be. mom," I says, "though

to me their rich and fiery blood.
Praised be they for the deep
