Tew wanter buy thet heifer, Zeb? I don't believe yew can; I wouldn't sell thet heifei. air, to any llvua' man. No, zlt, If yew should come an' lay a fifty In my hand fa go an" shct the stable door an' let thet heifer stand. U let her stand right where she Is till she Is 5? mi an' gray fman I'dVsell one side of her, thet's all I've got to say. Tew heerd I wanted to dispose? Tew must hev heerd It wrong; Td buy a dozen like her. Zee, if yew*d bring them along.
m course I've got a lot of stock, more stoek 'en what I need, JOa? I am short of stable room, an' somewhat short of feed; Bat ez for sellin' thet there' beast I wouldn't, no siree! 1a t forty dollars come between thet heifer. Zeb, an* me. X am a one-price critter.
