CHAPTER XVI.

"One small boys head to lie hated,
and five women, each owning two hands,
normally furnished with five fingers
apiece, all engaged on it. How many
fingers all laboring for you, Dren?
There is q sum i'll addition.
Liza Martin held up one hand. On
its index finger a small unfinished hat
of plated palmetto gyratcd swiftly.
The boy to whom that intricate mathc-
matical problem had just been submit
ted brought an ancient hohbyhorse to
an abrupt halt and precipitately dis
mounted the better to criticise the un-
finished hat
A moment Of reflective silence. With
his pink palmed hands folded behind
his back and his yellow curled head
poised judicially he delivered himself
adversely, my hat that did float away

that"

should never have let it float away.
But, Dren, gave you sum in arith-
metic to do, and you have not done it.
How many fingers have worked on this
hat of yours? Come, now, I will help
you little.
"Mamie Colyer brought the palmetto
from the woods, Mother Martin cured
it, Grandmother Strong split it into
nice little narrow strips, your mother
plated it, and here l am sewing it into
shape You ought to feel tremendously
important, Dren.

propriating her homage.

toward the room suddenly converted in-

"Suzanne, do as tell you.
There was new air of self assertion
about him. 1t was as if he had sudden
ly come into recognition Of self enti-
tied to some respect. Suzanne turned
and loft the room puzzled and awed.
By the time Viney arrived, amazed but
deliberate, he was sealing tho envelope
which incloscd his hastily written ex-
planation to Miss Colyer.
He looked up as his old nurse, pant
ing with the unusual excitement Of this
midnight demand on her energies, came
to halt by his table.
"W'at's this yer foolishncss I hears
from Suzanne? She says you goin out
with the folks"

CHATTER KY.

In those tempest driven times the un-
usual was the usual, and to 1t was
awarded ali Unquesticning acqulescence
born Of stoical resolve therefore Strong
Martin should not have Decn jostled out
of all sense If his own identity by the
crowdinS events whose initial note had
been struck when Mamie Colycr mirac-
ulously descended upon Neck or Moth
ing.
Pacing the rounds of huge sycamore
tree that marked the limits of his second
days march from Sans Souci, he found
it almost impossible to believe that on
ly SO hours of time and as many miles
of space lay between him and tho cabin
hearth across which he and she had
"come to an understanding.
The querulous clamor of innumerable
frogs, to whom life in the Shiny fast
ncsses Of bramble fringed bayou near
by seemed suddenly grown unbearable,
did not tend to cnlivCn his reveric. Eoth
time and spot, stulless night and rn-
peopled space, were prolific of gloomy
suggestion, and not even the careful
RECALLING of every kind word spoken by
Mamie and tenderly reproduced by
memory could render him even tempo
Iarily oblivious Of the present that was
full of menace.
Impcncrable darkness surrounded
him. Overhead, when the night wind
stirred tho branches Of the sycamore
tree with its titful breath, an occasional
star became visible, glimmering coldly
and unsympathetically upon him from
sky that seemed immeasurably far re-
moved. A rod or two away, invisible
but audible, his tired horse crunched
the supper of corn and oats flung loose
ly on the ground before him and stamp
cd his feet in irritatcd protest against
the swarming mosquitoes Other sounds
--none.
He had been sent by his father ahead
of the column to find u camping place

No use your comm back; better save

Had the gift of prophecy been given
to old Eben Martin?
All this Strong had done. Found the
tenantless cabins Of deserted planta-
tion, found the water course and sent
Sandy back to meet and pilot the ad-
vancing caravan that represented all
the modified wealth of Sans Souci.
Alone he had watched the yellow
sun sink lower and lower behind the
somber crowns of the Expresses that
stood knee deep in the dark waters of
the bayou, leaving long trailing souve-

the cIamor OF the frogs and the shrlll
voices of countless insect rovers of the
night, he would turn the tired brute's
head toward the mystery and ride to its
solution.
He did detect another sound. Vague
and uncertain at first, then definitely
hurrying feet bearing down upon the
spot where he stood cloaked in darkness.
A painting sound, as Of an animal sore
pressed and terrified, then out of the
blackness about him single figure
emerged. 1t was woman's. He called
out in sharp surprise:
"Who is it and where are the rest2"
"It's me, Suzanne"
Her voice was husky with her speed
or with terror. He could not readily de-
eide which. She came to a sudden halt
so close to him that in spite of the un-
lifting darkness, he could see her tall
form swaying backward and forward to
the rhythm Of horrible chant.
"Iknew it. knew it. You was fools.
All fools. Nanny tried to warn you,
but you wouldn't be warned. Now
where is they? Ask God A mighty. And
where will you be if you don't mount

He laid his strong hands on her sway
ing shoulders and forced her into SEM
blance of composure.
"Stop your idiotic bowling and tell me
in plain English what you arc shrek
ing at me, if you don't want me to
choke it out of you. Where are the peo-

Suzanno's voice dropped to its usual
slow monotone. Her arms were impris-
oned in an iron grip. She nodded her
head in the direction from which she
had come.

'Buryin who?'
"Ole man Eben and Charlie Martin"
His strong hands fell away from her

with the sudden rush of terrified emo

falling at her feet.

Good Temper and Health.

One of the signs of mental health
is equanimity of temper, and the
ability to bear with indifference or
even pleasure the little trials of life,
and especially those which come
from scolding, petulant, cross, ,irrita-
BILE persons. To this end the art of
not hearing too much should be
learned. There are so many things
which it is so painful to hear, very
many of which, if heard, will dis
turb the temper, corrupt simplicity
and modesty and detract from
health and happiness. If a person
falls into a violent passion and calls
one all manner of names, and we
can shut our ears and not hear il,
or if we can laugh at the words in
stead of becoming excited, it is a
sign of healthy nervous system
