le to keep a secret, and he desisted.

One day, however, when he and Ty Sudley, ploughing the corn, now
knee-high, were pausing to rest in the turn-row, a few furrows apart, in
an ebullition of filial feeling he told all that had befallen him in his
absence. Ty Sudley, divided between wrath toward Nehemiah and quaking
anxiety for the dangers that Leander had been constrained to run--_ex
post facto_ tremors, but none the less acute--felt moved now and then to
complacence in his prodigy.

"So 'twar _you-uns ez_ war smart enough ter slam the furnace door an'
throw the whole place inter darkness! That saved them moonshiners and
raiders from killin' each other. It saved a deal o' bloodshed--ez sure
ez shootin\ 'Twar mighty smart in ye. But"--suddenly bethinking himself
of sundry unfilial gibes at Uncle Nehemiah and the facetious account
of his plight--"Lee-yander, ye mustn't be so turr'ble bad, sonny; ye
_mustn't_ be so _turr'ble_ bad."

"Naw, ma'am, Neighbor, I won't," Leander protested.

And he went on following the plough down the furrow and singing loud and
clear.
