"Mine don't need no axe," said Mr. Hucks, "She can do all slu needs u> without no axe." "Look hen-, Org," said Mr Crump angrily, "what do you mean by sayin' that? Do you mean my tnotlu-r-in-law ain't equal to vniirii in any way, shape or manni Well, sheain't," said Mr. Hucks gloomily. "Why, dad Imst your hide — " said Mr. Crump, reaching >>nt his hands to "wrastle" Mr. 1 links again, but edging around to I the nail that hail been his Nemesis before; "dad Imst your ornery — orner — -" His voice died weakly in his throat. His eyes, looking beyond Mr. Hucks to the door of the shed, were big with tear. Mr. Hucks turned his head. In the door, a large slal> of pinewood in lu-r hand, stood Mr. Crump's mother-in-law. "Ah!" she said sarcastically; "ah! Here is where you two wuthless 'scallions be! What devilment l>e you conspirin1 up to?" She swung the pine slab carelessly in her hand, and, as if she were some powerful goddi SS of old, the straws and dust of the cow yard arose and danced and rushed away "Conspirin', be you?" she cried. "I'll conspire you!" She walked into the cow shed and lifted the pine slab. Mr. Hucks and Mr. Crump closed t heir eyes, At the same moment the cyclone, or hurricane, or whatever it may be called, dipped over the ridge with a roar, and hit the cow shed full on the beam. It went right under and through and around the cow shed and took it with it in a disintegrated form, lifting it thirty feet in the air, ripping it into individual boards and beams and shingles, and taking Mr. Crump, Mr. Hucks and Mr. Crump's mother-in-law along. At the highest altitude attained by him and it, Mr. Hucks saw, through the dust, Mr. Crump's mother-in-law seemingly riding through the air on a plank, waving her pine slab and whacking at Mr. Crump with it. Mr. Hucks was considerably dazed and confused. It seemed to him that when Mr. Crump's mother-in-law had raised her slab to strike him he had leaped, and she had picked up the cow shed and thrown it at him, hitting him with it. Before he landed in the laurel bush at the bottom of the gully beyond the road he had merely time to see Mr. Crump's mother-in-law leaping after him and to throw up his hands and try to yell that he surrendered. Then he landed. He hit the upper part of the bush, fell a few feet, caught and fell to the ground. After a minute he sat up and saw that Mr. Peabody Crump was on the ground at his side. He leaned over toward Mr. Crump and spoke. "Peeb, he said, "I take it back. Your mother-in-law is rough; she's as rough as mine is." Mr. Crump tried to raise his head. "Man to man, Peeb," Mr. Hucks said; "she's as rough as mine is." He felt his ribs carefully, to see if any were broken. None was. "Hut she ain't no rougher, Peeb," he said proudly.
