Shamefaced old Reuben was saying, this,
hanging his woolly head low and busying
himself with the table and appointments,
and then with gentle insistence pouring
out the wine. The guest was visibly en-
barrassed by the old darky's profuse Of
fering. He hardly knew what to do, but
the pouring of the wine seemed to settle
that he must eat, and he went on. Uncle
Reuben took the old position behind the
chair and waited No man could discuss
one of these bobwhites without emotion.

Uncle Reuben bowed, and the guest
continued his eating. The tiny cup Of
coffee followed the bird in the same way,
and the dinner was finished. With that
unconscious glow which comes to the man
who has dined the stranger rose and deli
cately, courtcously, bowed to Reuben.
