LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS

They called to me as a boy . . . . . . _Frontispiece_

"Welcome home--thrice welcome!"

Tim and I had stopped our ploughs to draw lots and
he had lost

"Well, old chap!"

Josiah Nummler

He did not stop to hear my answer

Swearing terrible oaths that he will never return

No answer came from the floor above

The tiger story

He had a last look at Black Log

"He pumped me dry"

"Nanny is likely to get one of her religious spells
and quit work"

I was back in my prison

"'At my sover-sover-yne's will'"

Perry Thomas stands confronting the English warrior

"You'll begin to think you ain't there at all"

I saw a girl on the store porch

Aaron Kallaberger

Leander

"Her name was Pinky Binn, a dotter of the house of Binn,
the Binns of Turkey Walley"

William had felt the hand of "Doogulus"

"Aren't you coming?" young Colonel seemed to say

Sat little Colonel, wailing

The main thing was proper nursing

Well, ain't he tasty

"But there are no ghosts," I argued

"Of course it hurts me a bit here"

"An seein' a light in the room, I looked in"
