Excerpt from The Country Boy It was more than half an hour since Judge Bel knap's shiny, new automobile had passed, outward bound from Fairview, with Tom Wilson at the steering wheel and the Judge's pretty daughter at his side. If Tom and Jane were taking their usual morning spin around the lake, they were over-due back. Farmer Hemingway knew. He had made it his business to observe their motoring habits. Up the silent valley floated a low rumbling, faint as a distant drum. Farmer Hemingway's weary eyes brightened. By that token he knew that Tom Wilson had thrown out his muffler to take the hill at Speed. The sound came sharper. There was a flash of red along the brown hillside. Farmer Hemingway's loosely hung members assembled themselves for quick action. There was no time to waste, for Tom Wilson was driving furiously. With one swift motion the rickety gate was thrown open. The black pigs looked up in alarm, ready to stand or bolt as his next move should de termine. He flung down the fat, yellow ear on the spot where he had been standing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
