Chapter IV

ssssssssss

Well, three or four months run along, and ssssssssss

it was well into the winter, now. I ssssssssss

had been to school most all the time, ssssssssss

and could spell, and read, and write ssssssssss

just a little, and could say the mul- ssssssssss

tiplication table up to six times seven ssssssssss

is thirty-five, and I don't reckon I ssssssssss

could ever get any further than that ssssssssss

if I was to live forever. I don't take ssssssssss

no stock in mathematics, anyway. ssssssssss

At first I hated the school, but by-~

and-by I got so I could stand it. ssssssssss

Whenever I got uncommon tired I ssssssssss

played hookey, and the hiding I got ssssssssss

next day done me good and cheered ssssssssss

me up. So the longer I went to ssssssssss

school the easier it got to be. I was ssssssssss

getting sort of used to the widow's ssssssssss

ways, too, and they warn't so raspy ssssssssss

on me. Living in a house, and sleep- ssssssssss

ing in a bed, pulled on me pretty tight, mostly, but before the cold weather I

used to slide out and sleep in the woods, sometimes, and so that was a rest to me.

I liked the old ways best, but I was getting so I liked the new ones, too, a little bit.

The widow said I was coming along slow but sure, and doing very satisfactory. She

said she warn't ashamed of me. ssssssssss
