The place was taken 1t cost money to
move, money for carpets, money for some extra
furniture; but Dotty's pleasure was contagious.
Herbert tried to persuade himself that he had
done good thing, and for a few weeks they
were happy Everybody admired their choice,
eomplimented their taste, eulogized the grounds
which Herbert had put in fine order. But the
oyerwork soon told on the strength Of the
younpman. TWAS warm weather; unforeseen
changes occurred; his business went behind
hand a little; he missed the gentle stimulus Of
his happy home evenings; he grew pale and
careworn in his efforts to keep straight with
the world.
There came time when for weeks his foot
never pressed the threshold of his handsome
new house; when poor Dotty, white and fright
ened, sat in the darkened room and listened to
his iucoherent words-always toward and OF
her; words of tenderness and beauty. There
came time when she was borne shrieking
from that still chamber, because the gentle lips
had stiffened TO the semblance of marble, and
the love aad light had flown out Of the stiff,
glazed eyes. iii "'-
There, in that beautiful parlor-all darkened
now. the strange aroma of fading blossoms tell
ing Of the tomb; the chilling silence and death
ly palor that seemed to change even the famil-
lar furniture, striking upon the senses of the
most indiaerent-there lay the love Of her
youth, the husband Of her choice; never to smile
on her again, never to whisper the words that
had made her heart leap with joy. How little
she had dreamed Of this
How all her reasoning camc echoing
back-coId, cruel, heartless, it seemed. o,
why did not her heart break and let her weary
spirit fly to meet him, to beg him to forgive
her? No, not YET she was doomed ever to
keep the recollection Of that dim, darkened
parlor before her mental vision-that haunted
room. Never afterward could she think OF 1t
without shuddcr it was always present, al
ways warning to her against the pomps and
vanities of the world As time went on, the
memory softened, its harsh drearness melted
away and an angel seemed to fill its gloom
with softened light. Constant communins
with the dear one she had lost led her thoughts
and affections up to the home he had entered.
She lived for years, trained their child to bless
womanhood, and then gave herself up to deeds
of mercy. Her heart was in heaven, and the
haunted room had become to her like the re-
collection of bower of beauty.

Recollections of Thomas Jefferson.


Prof. Tutwiler, formerly of the University
of Alabama, is writing for the Mobile Sunday
Times, under the head of jefferson" series
of articles in which are given many recollec-
tions of the great Virginia statesman. The
following is the first Of the series:
In the summer aud autumn Of 1925, Mr..
Jefferson was in the habit Of making frequent
visits to the University, about four miles from
Monticello, and lie generally came on horse
back, unattended lie was then eighty-two
wears Of age well remember the first time ]
ever saw him. was in the Proctor's office,
when tall, venerable gentleman, plainly dress
ed entered the room, in quiet, unobstruslve
manner and took seat in one corner. Mr..
Brockenbrough, the Proctor, was busy at the
time and did not observe his entrance i
thought that it was plain country farmer,
who had called TO see the Proctor on business /;
but fellow student who was with me, and
who had seen Mr. Jefferson before, took ocea-
sion in a private way to let me know who II
thought that never had observed countenance
that exhibited more Of the kindliest feelings Of
the heart. Afterwards, saw him frequently
riding along the Eastern Range, as it is called,
on which had a room, sometimes on horse
back and once or twice In a landau, accompa-
MED by his grand daughters. 1t was the first
time / had ever seen a vehicle Of the kind where
the driver rode one Of the horses, aud it excited
nv boyish curiosity. 1t was, | believe, brought
by him from France.
Mr.. Jefferson was in the habit Of inviting
some of the students, generally four or five, to
dine with him at Monticello on Sundays. This
day was selected because it would not interfere
with their attendance on the lectures In the
school of the university. The names were
taken 10 regular order from the Proctors book
and the invitations were given through one oi
his grandsons, Ben or Lewis, who were then
students in the university. George W., our
Confederate Secretary of War, was at that time
only thirteen years of age, and was at school
in MassacL usetts. I had roommate, now
no more. brother of the late DR.. Gessner
Harrison. He was one Of the most pious young
men ever knew. When he was invited to
the Sunday dinner he did not 60, nor did he
send any excuse, hoping that his absence would
not be noted. But it was rule with Mr..
Jefferson that whenever student did not at
tend. to renew the invitation for the following
Sunday, and it was done in this case. Find
ing that the invitation was still declined, he
learned, through his grandson, the cause, and
sent special invitation to this young man and
some others on week day. The invitation
was accepted.
Some time after Mr.. Us death young ii.
and myself, with several other students, made
a visit to Monticello. After going through the
house, and just as we wereleaving it, Burweli'
Mr.. Us faverite servant, who acted as cIcerone
on these occasions detained me amomept, and
