the God of his fathers that if he
would be with him and let him
return to his home again he
would quit cheating Esau and
serve the Lord. | thought of all
that, and resolved to be a better
boy myself.
"My mother and Sallie did
their part in making arrange
ments for my trip to Alabama.
They selected my clothing with
care, tied my cravat nicely in
a bowknot; even old Kate in the
kitchen had fried the chicken
and baked the cake nicely for
my dinner. The negroes who
labored in the field were slow to
go on to their work, but stood
about the gate to see the young
'bookworm' as they were in
structed by the overseer to call
me, depart. When we all came
out we were surprised to find the
big bay horse hitched at the
rack for me to ride. Now, this
was not a big horse at all, but a
very small hore. He was called
the big bay horse because there
was a smaller bay horse on the
farm, which was called the little
bay horse My mothers indig-
nation was great when she saw
what had been saddled for me to
ride, and she demanded of the
overseer to know why he had
not brought out the other horse
Hamilton for me. He said
Hamilton had become very un-
ruly of late, and it would not be
safe for me to ride him.
"Where are the new bride and
saddle?" demanded my mother.
"They are loaned to Mr.. He'll
ems, three miles away, and it is
too late to send for them,' ans
wered the overseer.
81 thought at the time the
overseer was telling straight
tale; but after three years of
meditation, I am now a doubter.
My opinion now is that he want
ed Hamilton with the new bride
and saddle to ride out and court
a third wife. The evidence aga
inst him is that he did ride Ham
ilton on such a trip; he soon
afterwards married the woman
and she said when he came tC
see her, he told her, as part o1
his courtship, he had five ne
groes. She learned after they
married his five negroes were al
little children. Any man who
would tell such a tale in court.
ship would tell any sort of a tale
to get a good horse to ride.
81 racked off on the little horse
thirty-five miles to Columbus
which place was reached abou
sundown. put up my horse a
Mr.. McNeil's stable, and th'
next morning when went dowI
to get him, stepped into tn
office to pay the bill. The anx
ious ones at home had pinned m,
money up in my pocket to keel
me from losing it, and it took M
a good while to get it out. Mr.
Mcneil and others began to laugl
and that greatly embarrassed ant
confused me. Mr.. Mcneil asket
Young man, what sort of a horse
is yours?
Without thinking, ! answered
in the words by which we Away
designated him at home: 'th'
big bay horse
"Albert" called Mr., Mcneil

came in last evening.
"All right" said Albert "b(
dar in one minute"

but did not have time to think
how to get out Of it. All | coult
