I nap been told that I could probably get lodgings with a mountaineer named Lukens, and when within two miles of his cabin I met anative on the highway and asked him the distance. He gave it and then inquired: “So yo' are gwine to stop with Jim Lukens, eh ?” “Yes, I was directed there. You know him, per- haps?” “Oh, yes.” “Very nice man ?” “ Powerful good fellow, Jim is, but a leetle quare.” “What is he queer about ?” I asked. “Wall, he'll be a-sittin’ on a log at the gate and see yo' half a mile away. If he likes yo'r looks, all right; if he don’t he'll sot his dawg on yo’. If yo" git away from the dawg, Jim will likely hev a shot at yo’ with his rifle.” “ Anything else?” “Arter yo've reached his cabin all right and feel to home, he may suddenly take yo’ fur a revenoo spy. If he does yo'ragoner. He'll shoot fust and ax queshuns arterwards.” “Something more ?” “Jim hain't got no mo’e religun than ab’ar, but he'll lead yo’ on to rip the Baptists up the back, and jes’ as yo' think yo'r gittin’ powerful solid with him, he'll riz up and throw yo’ out doahs.” s there anything else to guard against ?”” “Sum few things, stranger. Fur instance, Jim's a great hand to wrassle. If yo" don’t take holt he'll break both yo'r legs fur sure. He'll be sartin to invite yo" to drink, fur he keeps a jug in the house.
