He kept me with him all the time, and I never got a chance to run off. We lived in that old cabin,
and he always locked the door and put the key under his head nights. He had a gun which he had

locked me in and went down to the store, three miles, to the ferry, and traded fish and game for
whisky, and fetched it home and got drunk and had a good time, and licked me. The widow she
found out where I was by and by, and she sent a man over to try to get hold of me; but pap drove
him off with the gun, and it warn’t long after that till I was used to being where I was, and liked
