On the threshold she paused and held out her hand. "Good-by, major; should I hear anything further I shall let you know. But the tramp?"，"It's the chaff and small wheat the fannin' mill blows out from the good grain. Pa lets me have it fer my wild birds. I've got some partridge up on the hickory knoll, too.
