"Hold on, Parker, here's a twenty to put on the board for me. Good-bye, boy; you do as Mr. Parker told you, and you might come out all right."

"That's so, my boy-good-bye, good-bye. If you see any runaway baggers you get help and nab them, and you can make some money by it."

"Good-bye, sir,” says I; “I won't let no runaway baggers get by me if I can help it."

They went off and I got aboard the raft, feeling bad and low, because I knowed very well I had done wrong, and I see it warn't no use for me to try to learn to do right; a body that don't get started right when he's little ain't got no show-when the pinch comes there ain't nothing to back him up and keep him to his work, and so he gets beat. Then I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on; s'pose you'd a done right and give Jim up, would you felt better than what you do now? No, says I, I'd feel bad-I'd feel just the same way I do now. Well, then, says I, what's the use you learning to do right when it's troublesome to do right and ain't no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same? I was stuck. I couldn't answer that. So I reckoned I wouldn't bother no more about it, but after this always do whichever come handiest at the time.

I went into the wigwam; Jim warn't there. I looked all around; he warn't anywhere. I says:

"Jim!"

"Here I is, Huck. Is dey out o’ sight yit? Don't talk loud."

He was in the river under the stern oar, with just his nose out. I told him they were out of sight, so he come aboard. He says:

"I was a-listenin’ to all de talk, en I slips into de river en was gwyne to shove for sho’ if dey come aboard. Den I was gwyne to swim to de raf’ agin when dey was gone. But lawsy, how you did fool ‘em, Huck! Dat wuz de smartes’ dodge! I tell you, chile, I'spec it save’ ole Jim-ole Jim ain't going to forgit you for dat, honey."

Then we talked about the money. It was a pretty good raise-twenty dollars apiece. Jim said we could take deck passage on a steamboat now, and the money would last us as far as we wanted to go in the free States. He said twenty mile more warn't far for the raft to go, but he wished we was already there.

I told him the fissythis was spreadin’ far and wide and I wouldn't be surprised if there was no free State no more. I thought about the word quarantine but couldn't figger how to apply it. I said:

"Mayhap the situation's a-changin'. Mebby tradin’ in diseas't baggers wasn't the best experiment of all time. Those men was huntin'. You never know how far the huntin’ goes on."

"Mebby so,” says Jim, “but I gots to try fo’ it.
