which was double one OIL the upper

ginia, in April. 1857. Later, at Maiden,
West Virginia. he worked in the salt
furnaces and went to school. In 1871 he
heard of Hampton Institute in Virginia.
He at once made up his mind to enter
that institution, and going to Richmond
he worked there until he had enough
money to pay his way to Hampton In
sttute, which place he reached with 80
cents in his pocket He remained at
Hampton three years. working his way
through, and graduated with honor.
After teaching In West Virginia, and
spending a year In study at Wayland
Seminary, Washington, he was invited
to return TO Hampton as teacher. In
this capacity he remained till 1881,
when application was made to General
Armstrong, Of Hampton. by citizens of
Tuskegee, Alabama, for some one to
start an Institution Mt Tuskegee on the
plan of Hampton. Mr.. Washington was
at once recommended for the position.
Upon reaching Tuskegee he found nei-

OF his poor leg. He never complained
and when he watched his friends dane
ing at the fair, with their arms about
their partners waists. he accepted his
position with the philosophy OF a coun-
try fatalist. But one day he suffered
the sorrow OF great disappointment.
He wanted to serve in the army, but
first he must pass the examination
with the others. He marched limping
along the road with them, his hat or
namented with long tri-solored rib
sung at the top of his voice with an
animation which made him forget he
was not like the rest of the world. But
his joy was short-lived.
Unfit for service: deformity of the
hip" pronounced the officer.
"It is unfortunate" added the gen.
eral, without that he would have
made q splendid soldier"
Bancroche departed alone, his heart
full of sadness and feeling the flower
of courage and loyalty which had
sprung up in him wither from lack OF
nourishment. He reached the farm
where he was employed without meet
Ing anyone. and going to the bed where
he slept he threw himself down and
wept uncontrollably.
Some time after this Bancroche was
employed on the farm Of u certain
Benoit. well-to-do farmer, who had q
very pretty daughter named Mariette.
Her white teeth made line of ivory
behind two rosy lips always parting in
smile. Her figure was dainty, her
arms strong. her feet untiring; alto
gether she was the picture of vigorous
beauty. She might have been a Ceres
of Rubens. in all the strength and
freshness of her 20 years. And, OF
course. Bancroche fell madly in love
with her. She was not long in per-
ceiving her victory and, as she was
something of coquette. she did all
she could to encourage him. She was
so good to him, looked at him with
eyes so sweet and bright that the
cripple was fired with love and hope

of the future, In which he saw himself
