Publisher's Synopsis
The Arkansaw Bear By Albert Bigelow Paine Excerpt Todd got a gun, Bosephus?" asked the Bear. "Yes, sir-ee. The best gun in Arkansaw, and he's a dead shot with it." "Oh, he is. Well, maybe you better not be quite so slow picking out that melon. Just take the first big one you see and come on." "Why, Zack wouldn't care for us collecting rent, would he?" "Well, I don't know. You see, some folks are peculiar that way. Zack might forget it was rent day, and a man with a bad memory and a good gun can't be trusted. Especially when he's a dead shot. There, that one will do. Never mind about his receipt--we'll mail it to him." Bo scrambled back over the fence with the melon and hastened as fast as he could after Horatio, who was already moving across the clearing with his violin under one arm and the green ears under the other.
