He was travelling through a part of Virginia
IN which he was unacqualnted; meantime he
stopped during the night at an inn near the
forks ut the road. The innkeeper was fine
gentleman and no doubt of one OF the. first fanl
lies IN the Old Dominion. knowing who his
distinguished guest was. he endeavored during
the evening to draw him into conversation. bui
tailed IN all his efforts. But in The morning
when Mr.. Randolph was ready TO start. he
called Tor his bill. which, being presented.
was paid. The landlord still anxious 10 have
some conversation with him. began as frllows :
winch way are you travelling. Mr. Run-
:" Sir ~ said Mr.. Randolph, with look of dis.
pleasure Have paid my bill I"
Yes"
"Do owe you anything morei"
"No"
"Well. I'm going just where please-do you
understand ~
'Yes"
The landlord by this time got somewhat ex-
cited. aud Mr.. Randolph drove Off Blu, to the
landlords surprise. in few minutes the servan,
came to inquire for his master which OF the
forks OF the road TO take. MIR. Randolph. nor
being out OF hearing distance the landlord
spoke at the top Of his voice: Mr.. Randolph.
