CHAPTER I<br />
YOU don't know about me without you have read a<br />
book by the name <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Adventures <strong>of</strong> Tom Sawyer; but<br />
that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. <strong>Mark</strong><br />
Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. <strong>The</strong>re was things<br />

another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or<br />
maybe Mary. Aunt Polly - Tom's Aunt Polly, she is - and<br />

sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the<br />
time, considering how dismal regular and decent the<br />
widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand
