Fannie Telfair-Back among the pines
of North Carolina. near the banks OF the
old Cape Fear. stands an old-time farm
house a relic of better days. II sets back
from the main road about quarter OF
q mile. with a lovely little avenue lead
ing up to the front gate. The house is
completely surrounded by large, spread
ing oaks. with here and there an old rustic
seat which brings yiVidly 10 our minds
these hot summer days the remark OF one
of our nOblest and grandest OF heroes
"StOneWalI' JaCkSOn-When he Salu, Let
Us pass over the river and rest under the
shade Of the trees" His warfare in he
is Ger and he has long since passed over
the river of life to his long, last rest
meath the shade of the trees. But let US
return 10 our old farmhouse, and / VIII

Gerald ElWel. his wife and three chil
dren are the poor but happy occupants
of that once grand old nome, for In ante
beIlum days il was one Of our model
southern homes. and even yet the lnSer-
ing traces OF fallen grandeur demand, as
It were. our respect and admiration.
The afternoon of which l write was an eX-
tremely warm one, and Mrs. ElWeu had
drawn her sewing machine out on the
back piazza, whore l found her StlchlnS

the completion of some allotted task. Not
far from her mother. on d large pallet,
was bolstered baby Ruth. cooling and play
ing with her pink little feet as II she
heartily agreed with us in thinking them
very beautiful. out in the yard near the
well was Master Roy playing and splash
ing so vigorously in the old water trough
as 70 make one think that he would like
very much 10 take a dive TO the bottom
of the cool well. Before the broad pass
age. with her little golden head pillowed
on her little checks. lay pretty little May
Belle fast asleep. Tightly claSped in heT

on the floor lay an old Atlanta Eonsutu-

Right here the tired little hands and
puzzled little brains had left off and al
long, sweet sleep. Perhaps she was
misunderstanding that her little self
imposed task had been completed, and
that il was as nicely and neatly done a3
