CHAPTER III.

The human race has certainly been
evolved from barbaric into partly
civilized state. At odd seasons the
old instinct crops out and regains con-
troll of us. Major Worthington had
entered upon his brief lapse into saw
agery, though he did not realize it. III
adapted as he was for foot journeys OF
considerable length, the flush OF new
freedom sustained him.
But the unwonted exercise told at
last. A halt must perforce soon have
been ordered, when Isam plunged over
o sharp decline and indicating long
line of paler green and a denser growth
in front exclaimed:
8 Mos dere now"
The major knew the place. 1t was
tho line of the Oconee river mapped in
verdure. Reaching the welcome shade,
he dropped down where Isam had al
ready pitched his bundle.
Mumbling after tho fashion of old
darl,ies, a meaning smile upon his lips,
which, after all, is merely thinking
aloud, Isan brought from the well
filled depths Of his kit a small stone
Jug. Soon, after certain rites and cere-
monies appropriate to the occasion, he
approached the major, and with tri--
nmpliant flourish extended large tum-,
bier Of red liquid from which gracefully
arose small forest of mint.
Dun foun er moo spring" he said,
hut tho man propped against the cy-
press was motionless, and his hands
were folded peacefully in his lap.
STOPPING down, Isam peered cautious
Iy under the broad hat brim, with the
WHISPERED ejaculation: Lor bless
my soul, CT no ain dun COMO ter sloep!
/ recken dat las 10 railer was pow full
wurrin ter r man r his fat. Mass
Cratfud, Mass Craffud!" No answer
came.

fully inserted with spoon few drops
of the beverage between the lips of the
sleeper and allowed them to percolate
downward. AS tho apple" Of the
frightened throat darted up and glided
down again into place he whispered:
Mass Crafud, ess yer dun fainted?'
Tho eyes opened, and tho major sat
bolt upright. The next minute he
drained off the drink and sat contem-
plating the honest face, III whose eyes
was peculiar look. g.. L.si-
Tank de goodnessr exclaimed
Isam. II bin err holdin dis hyah julup
hyah fur half err hour. Ain new +
known You ter balk at err julup TO en-
40 yeaurs!''
That came in thu right time, Isam,
and it's good whisky" said the major
heartily. Where did you get it?''
"Yessir." chuck,ed the negro, hits
good, but hit ain good ter ask er stray
hen w ats layin en- your orchud whar
she belong err how many teef she got"
The major realized that he had be-
come guest. He laughed, sank back
against the tree and soon again was
lost in slumber. When he awoke, there
had been decided change in his sur
roundings. A low fire burned a few
yards away, and sundry fips Of bacon
We're browning in frying pan set
iauntily thereon, while from the ashes
beneath the brown ends of hoecakes pro-
truded. ~
- Tain but err bite, said Isam apol-
ogetically, "but DIES wait tell dc fish git
mixed MP wild dem sum err desc days,
en- den you see W at hit es ter be loos' 'en
free"
To be loose aud free! The major
fixed his eyes upon the old negro as he
produced tin platters from his kit an
transferred the smoking viands, humble
hat savory, from the frying pan. The
words haunted him, and as the smoke
arose there fioated upon his vision pic
lures of hoyhood's escapades. Isam had
belonged to him from his own infancy,
though for the first ! 5 years the ques-
ton of ownership seemed altogether
unsettled, for the negro was five or six
years the senior. How they had hunt
ed'and strayed off and set gums for rab-
bits and snares for birds and robbed
nests! Loose and free! Old Isam sur
veyed with proud satisfaction the ma
jor's fierce attack upon the morning
meal.
"Derc ain no spring chick'n en- del
pan," he said sententiously, "but Ell
fuss rate app'tite kin git des' es good
er grip on er flip er bacon es hit kin or
er yaller leg chicken"
There is something in that, said
the major. "Get your flip, you blacl
rascal, and go to eating" But Isan
shook his head.

DON wan no vito folks roun. ID

1T seems to me, said the major, as
he transferred another flip Of bacon t.
his platter, s'that it must be mighty
hard for an honest niger to live com
Iortably out here"
1sam' IS face took on look Of personal
Injury.
''Er homes nigg'r, he said, stirring
mp the ashes and inserting fresh cake,

WASHINGTON, October 18.--The annual
report of Major General Miles, COM
manding the department Of the Missouri,
has been received, showing the condi-
tion Of affairs in that department in a
remarkably short document, considering
the. stormy period Of internal strife COW
cred by it. But notwithstanding its
brevity 1t contains some very terse and
significant statements relative to the
strike. On this point it says after re-
citing the work the military was required
to do:
"All of these difficult duties have been
performed in manner which shows good
judgment and discretion on the part OF
officers and good state of discipline
and faithful service on the part of the
troops, and it is believed that but for
their prompt intervention much blood
shed would have resulted.
1.-THE conduct of the troops in restor-
ing order and confidence where mob
violence and reign Of terror existed in
Chicago was marked by great forbear-
ance, fortitude and discipline, and their
presence and action have verygreatly con-
tributed to the maintenance OF civil laws,
and in my opinion saved the country
from serious rebellion in State where
one had been publicly declared to exist
by one most responsible for its exist
ence."
