Now, is there anything as I can do to help you ?" "I want a basket with some eggs and chickens or vegetables to take into their camp to sell, but I am afraid I have not much chance of getting them." "I can help you there, too," the woman said, "I turned all my chickens into the wood the day I heard the Yankees had landed.

They have got rather wild like; but I go out and give them some corn every evening.

I expect, if we look about, we shall find some nests; indeed I know there are one or two of them sitting.

So, if you will come out with me, we can soon knock down five or six of the creatures, and maybe get a score or two of eggs.

As for vegetables, a horde of locusts couldn't have stripped the country cleaner than they have done." They went out into the wood.
