 "Wrll I reckon l uo. Wasn't we au1u chem 04y.:" said Nelse, with forced contrieion, but with something almost like a chuckle in his voice.
 And yet there was u great struggle going on in the mind of this black man. i Thirty years of freedom and the advan. tage> of Northern State made his " hole soul revolt at the word master" Bul that ttae feeling, that tender sympathy which is natural to the real Negro, made him hesitate to make the poor wreck ot former glory coascicu8 Of his changed estate by using a different appellation t7f,. l,t4g,v.o1
 '' I want you to see my wife and boya Mry' Tom, he said, a& he passed ouI of the room.
 Eliza Hatton sat in her Doatly.appoint ed little front room, swelling with im- i potent rage.
 If this story were chronicling the doj2Gs of some fauciful Negro, or somt really rude plantation hand, it might bt said that the front room WAS filled witt a experimentation of cheap but pre- t2utoua furniture, and the walls covered with gaudy prints''-this seems to be the usual phrase. But in it the chr0niclel too often forgets how many Negroes were house servants, and from close con tact with their masters families, tmbibed ariatocratic notions and quiet, but ele gant tastes.
 This front room was very quiet in ita appointments. Everything in it was subdued except--Mrs Hamilton. She was rocking back and forth in light little rocker that .creechad the indigna. tiou she could not express. She did not deign 10 look at Nelae ia he came into the room but an acceleration of speed on the part of the rocker showed that ehia | presence was known. e
 Her husbands enthusiasm suddently died out as he looked at her; but he put on brave face as he said;
 '' Ltzy, I bet cent you can't guess who that pore man in there is," ~
 The rocker suddenly stopped sita vio- l lent motion with an equally violent jerk, as the angry woman turned upon her husband. s@
 .'FNo, I can't gaess,H she cried; " an ! don't want to-. It's enough to be set tin an on'ry ol' tramp down to my clean table, without havin' me spend my time guessin' who he is.'' f~
 But look a-here, Lizy, this is all different it iss do' want to understand" ," ss You'll be mighty surprised, I tell you. s
 s'T' low will; I'm surprised already at you putin yourself on level with trampa.i This with fine scorn. -s.
 fBe. careful Lizy-be careful; you don't know who tramp may turn out to be. v
 ''That ol' humbug in there has been tellin' yoR some biz tale, and you ain't
