Mr. Johnston was certainly doing justice to the crisp ham and eggs on the platter before him. Occasionally he lifted his black eyes to flash a look at his host, who was entertaining him with the history of the settlement and its people.

"I guess we've struck into the big woods," Billy informed him. "Anyways, the trees are gettin' thicker the further we go." CHAPTER XI EDUCATING THE NEW BOY The deacon, a florid, full-whiskered man of about sixty, glowered about him. No one present thought of disputing his assertion. The deacon was a power in the community. But Croaker shook his head and backed away, emitting a string of unintelligible utterances..
