has thereby gained a wide and valuable

House. There was not finer man in all
Virginia than Col. Garden, nor a prettier
woman than his wife, but time brought
changes We know all about the war and
what befell for one had rather not talk
those things over; and when l first saw
Miss Abbie she was living alone, her parents
dead.
One old black woman, old Maum Car
line, had stuck to her through all, and
how they lived they best knew. On per-
simmons and peanuts some folks said, only
if you ever tasted persimmOns you'll know
no one could live long on them.
Miss Abbie's mouth was puckered up by
nature, as they do quicker your mouth, I'm
free to confess, and she must have been 80,
and looked old for that.
She was sallow and thin and plain, and
had no dress to set her off, but she was
very good.
Poor folks black and white, went to her
in their trouble, and if she could not help
them she got some one else to do So

There were springs near our place where
folks came every summer for their health,
and big hotel, of course. One summer
Spanish gentleman stopped there, as hand
some a man as l ever saw, think, and
once when he had taken long walk and
lost himself Miss Abbie Garden, driving
along in her queer guy of a wagon behind
her bareboned horse, offered him a seat
and took him to the hotel.
A little while after it was plain to ali
beholders that some one was really court
ing Miss Garden. The handsome Spaniard
used to go up to call on her every evening,
