Get me a pair of shoes--number 'levens, you know--an' two pair stockin's, an' spend the heft of the rest fur tobacker.

Then when it comes dark, I want you to get that canoe agin, an' bring it up here with the things you buy at the store." "How am I goin' to git the canoe ?" "Take it an' welcome, like I did." Dan shrugged his shoulders, and his father, believing from the expression on his face that he was about to refuse to undertake the task, made haste to add:-- "An' when you come, Dannie, I'll tell you how we're goin' to work it to git them hundred and fifty dollars that Dave's goin' to 'arn by trappin' them birds fur that feller up North.

I have a right to it, kase I'm his pap: an' when I get it, I'll give you half--that is, if you do right by me while I'm hidin' here.

I'll give you half that bar'l, too, when we find it.

Then you kin have your circus hoss an' all your other nice things, can't you ?" added Godfrey, playfully poking his son in the ribs.
Dan's face relaxed a little, but his father's affected enthusiasm was not as contagious now as it was when the subject of the buried treasure was first brought up for discussion.
