Of the big cedars in the grove until we
all went by. She has not bit of use
for Ernie, and he knows it; yet he will
torment her"
''Lunch is ready, young ladies; won't
you come fix bit?" the girl asked, as
she led the way.
They followed her to their several
apartments-all but the eldest daugh-
ter.
AS the last one left the room Mrs.
Cheverill said:
az wish Elsie would come in; you
know do not approve of single couples
wandering away by themselves in the
woods"
1.-THE truth is, mother, Mr.. Rodney
and Elsie became engaged this day, a
year ago. Three months after, they
quarreled about mere trihe, and since
then they have not been on speaking
terms. 1t was something of shock to
both when they met here"
'They would make such nice couple;
it is pity" said Mrs. Cheverill, sympa-
thizingly.
Don't sigh over it, mother I'll
wager that if they met in the grove the
affair is all fixed by now. There is an
atmosphere about that place perfectly
irresistible to young lovers"
The meal progresses gaily, and. the
jolly host has Just asked: what has
become of Elsie?" when the door opens
and, looking very flushed, q little con-
scious, and wholly breathless from fast
walking, she and Rodney appear. He
carries his gun and empty game-bag,
which the butler takes from him with a
slightly deprecating air, while Nellie
removes Miss Stewards wraps, and Mrs.
Cheverill insists that she shall sit'right
down and leave her toilet until after
lunch. So they take their chairs and
make show of eating, but really ac-
complish but little in that line.
There are some sly, amused chances
thrown at the very conscious pair, but
they are mercifully left unteased and
unrailed at their long absence, until the
irrepressible Leda says, with burst of
long suppressed merriment:
"For what lot of marriages is this
old plantation answerablel Even from
the time of our grandfathers. Say,
Elsie, did you stop at Engagement
Oalx?'"
And then, to cover the young couples
confusion, the gracious hostess
arises, and in the general movement
Elsie escapes to her room.

Leda went in as she spoke, and from
the negro quarters came the sound of a
Christmas hymn, with its high-pitched
chorus of "Peace on earth and to all
men good will"
Mr.. Cheverill rang the bell near him
sharply.
"Tell Sam 1 want him." he said to
the boy who came.
The man answered the summons
quickly.
"Merry Christmas, massa; Christmas

duty, Robinson, and let your wife forget
who she has been, and we will get on
well enough. And now excuse me, my
family is waiting" and leaving them
there, in the small, coy sitting-room,
awaiting the summons to their own
house, the kindly gentleman went in to
his gay home circle.
He had done good deed and still up
held most decidedly his pride of class
and station.
"Did you take him, father?" whis-
pered Leda, as she passes him his third
glass of egg-nog.
eyes; look through the window yon-
der and you will see their shadows on
the curtain"
Far off across the lawn, the light is
cleaning brightly through the white
curtains of the overseer's house, and
within the young wife is saying:
"I would rather have you and this
dear little home, John, than all the
glories of planters daughter"
A knock calls them to the door.
A young darkey, bearing a tall, COW
cred pitcher, presents himself.
"Miss Leda SEN dis aig-nog, and say
as how she hope you'll hab a merry
Christmas and happy year in de new
home"
The fires are dying down in the negro
quarters, but still the sound Of song and
music rings out from the long room,
while the fiddler calls the figures of the
dance, and the dusl1y forms wheel and
turn and then salute your partners"
In the "big house" the lights are out
in the parlors, and the tired servants
have gone to bed, for theirs has been
busy day. The girls gossip softly with
each other, for fear the chattering will
disturb the old folks, while the young
men smoke their cigars, and Rodney
sees laughing brown eyes in the smoke
of his as he takes his last puff, and,
with a soul-contented' sigh, goes to bed.
Duncan will be furious" says Mr..
Cheverill to his wife, as he relates the

number Of persons will be puzzled
by the recollection that they have
often met this identical colored
man shutting along the streets
of New York, instead Of in Vir-
ginia, where the story places him. As
q matter of fact, "Ole Hanover" is a
thoroughbred New York whitewasher,
and, beautiful as Mr.. Pages story is, il
is not the true story. The old darky's
portrait, painted by John w. Alexan-
der, now hangs on the dining-room wall
in the Fellowcraft club on East
Twenty-ninth street, that city, and
Mr. Alexander once told his friends
in the club, where he is the vice-presi-
dent, just how it came to be painted.
Mr.. Alexander saw the old man on
the street and asked him to come up to
his stud in the Chelsea apartment
house in Twenty-third street. Having
gotten him there, he told him he
would make him handsome present IL
he would stand up and be painted. The
old man was more than willing, and as
he stood before the artist he ratified on
in characteristic darby fashion, talk
ing about everything he could think
about, and Mr.. Alexander encouraged
him, lest he should get tired of stand
ing.
"Ah dun know when an was bo'n," he
was saying when the right pose was
struck by him and caught on the canvas.

Christians.
The antiquity of this venerable
church is proven by two deeply marked
date bricks that came down with the
east wall in the year 1887, when the
original top fell in.
The church having been abandoned
as house of worship in 1886, in the year
1855 Rev. David Barr, then rector of the
church at Smithfield, Va, and now the
assistant minister of the Church of the
Epiphany of Washington, ID. c., under

put in perfect and complete order.

small windows composing the east
window, the nave windows and vestry-
room windows are to be memorials. In

Lee Bridges, the builder OF the
church; Rev. Mr.. Hubbard, last colonial
parson of the church ito 1902, when he
died; Bishops Madison, Moore, Needle

tors; Sir Walter Raleigh, Capt. John
Smith, John Rolfe, husband of Poca-
hontas, and Rev. DIR. Blair, founder of
William and Mary college. sqq"sd
The southwest corner window in the
nave will be memorial of Pocahontas,
provided principally by her descend
ants, and the two opposite ones are
memorials of Parsons Hunt and Whit

second in 1897, the third about 1921 and
the present new one in 1887.

Turkey roast is turkey lost.

ing the two first lines, but in regard to
the third there will be no dissentient

the turkey with the best force-meat
you can make. The most elegant Is
made of sweetbreads and mushrooms,

bread or chestnut stufiing, made savory
with seasonings, will be very nice.
After stuffing hold the bird breast down

large saucepan, breast upward, with
sliced carrot, onion, celery, and parsley,
and cover with broth. Cook closely
covered in the oven until the bird Is
tender, basting it occasionally to give
the desired light brown color. When
done, strain and thicken the gravy and
