Hebehielt sein Publikum im Landladen bis Mitternacht, sagt einer seiner Kameraden, hört seine kluge Weisheit, einheimischen Witz und lebendige Rezitale. Der arme Dennis Hanks, müde und schläfrig, war oft gezwungen, ohne Unterhalt nach Hause zu trampeln, nachdem er vergeblich versucht hatte, den eloquenten und fantasielierenden Geschichtenerzähler aus der Gruppe zu entlocken, deren Zentrum er bewunderte.

A grotesque incident, a comical THE YOUNG STORY-TELLER. 43 story, or one of the frontier traditions learned from hismother, was a dramatic entertainment in his hands. Hekept his audiences at the country store until midnight, says one of his comrades, listening to his shrewd wisdom, native wit, and vivid recitals. Poor Dennis Hanks, wearyand sleepy, was often obliged to trudge home withouthim, after vainly trying to coax the eloquent and fasci-nating story-teller from the group of which he was theadmired centre. Unconsciously to himself, this simple-hearted and hum-ble-minded young man was absorbing into his own experi-ence the rude lore of the backwoodsman. He was study-ing character, filling his mind with facts and experiences;and, in after years, in other scenes and in a far busier lifethan this, the fresh and original pictures that he sketchedin speech or story, came from the panorama of humanaction unrolled before him in old Kentucky and South-ern Indiana..
