"I'll be with you in a minute. She is too far off, I suppose, for the glass to resolve her." Billy had heard and understood. When his dad sent him one of those "up and away" signals he never questioned its significance. He didn't like listening in secret, but surely he reasoned, a boy had a right to know just what was coming to him.

"Fisherman Shipley wanted to buy a cow from me on time," he said. "I refused him. If you don't mind, Deacon, I'll lead her down behind your wagon tomorrow." "Hump, he did, eh? Well, let's see the slip." He took the piece of paper from the counter and read: Anson almost sobbed his relief. "I'll do it," he agreed. "What is it you want'a know, Bill?" "Then come on.".
