It
is amazing how heavy a human arm can be when not attached to the body. Tot
buried it, wrapped in old calico, in the yard and when Mr. Harland got better
and made ready to leave for the Montana gold fields, she took him out in the
back yard and showed him its resting place. He thought of digging it up and
taking it with him so as not to be lacking a part of himself on the day of
Resurrection. But then he decided not to and keep a note on his person instead as
to where it could be found when wanted.
