The Snake bite But when I looked there was a rattler i knew all about rattlers never being supposed to strike without warning and i knew the sound of a rattler as well as knew the notes of a quail. It was figured later that maybe this one didn t have time to rattle. I must have stepped right into his mouth I lit out for the house, yelling. I was sure I was going to die. That was all could think of Mamma whipped off her apron and tied the strings around my leg above the knee. She made me lie on the sofa in the front room and put martha to watch me. There was not a man on the place or a horse in the lot The nearest habitation was mr Howells but he had no horse the next nearest was Jim Anderson's, exactly half a mile away by the shortcut through a field

The Snake bite Mamma made for the andersons one of the anderson boys jumped on a horse and started for town a son of Clark who worked for the andersons drove mamma home. When she got there, she found that martha had taken off the apron strings because I had cried that they were too tight. Mamma put them back, yanking them so tight that I screamed Then mamma went to the porch to watch the road from town. Following the line between the Anderson and the howell claim the road ran along the crest of a rise so that you got the silhouette of anything that passed over it. I could always pick out our buggy and Tom, especially with papa driving anxious to get his nose in the mange, tom would break into a gallop if you would let him and papa always did
