taste. ''Ob, yes; at the club. They make
II there right enough" WAS the answer
Driven to her wits end, the lady consulted
with her cook and finally sent the latter TO
tie club to learn the proper way to make
co1ee. AS the absolute purity of the
conee was one of the points insisted on as
essential by her master. the cook studied
the coffee used In preparing her masters
infusion. and her sense of smell
speedily taught her that his so-called s'pure
coffee" was largely mixed with chicory.
The chef confirmed her opinion. and she
went home. The coffee was made and for
the hrst time gave perfect satisfaction She
was sent for by her master and congratu-
lated on the change in the preparation.
whereupon she answered quietly: s.Please.

upon her an ''evil and vicious glance"
Some few hours later Lukeria was seized
with an epilepte fit, and on regainIng con-
seriousness swOre that her dstemper was the
result Of the old woman's witchery
This allegation was readily accepted by
the villagers, who next day subjected the
reputed witch to an old ashiOned test. A
horse-collar was placed over the neck of
Lukeria, and the old woman forcibly
brought into her presence, when the former
had another epileptic seizure, or more prob
ably an attack of hysteria, genuine or smu-
lated.
This was proof positive of the poor crea-
lures diabOlical possession, and she was
thereupon dragged by the bair into the
roadway and maltreated In most shock
ingly cruel manner. two Of her most active
and brutal assailanis being the village
elder and the village scribe. The victim
was left for dead, but subsequently show

young Yankee corporal walked right into
our post, sat down ON a log as unconcerned

"The bluecoats got up looking like lot
of whipped schoolboys and saluted their
commander, who eyed them as sternly as a
sphinx. They filed in front of the guard

turned to him Grant removed his cigar from
his mouth and, with cynical smile. asked
the Confederate nearest him: Who's
