Papa called, 'Yo' Ginger, stop that in
fernal twangingr Wasn't it funnyY'
She laughed. The captain laughed.
l laughed. There was something very
catching about the little mink that nei-
Their of us could resist.
She drew an armchair close beside
the sofa on which | was lying and in
sisted on the captain seating himself
in it. He demurred, but Miss Jack
would have it so, and the man who
half an hour before had ordered me
out to be shot was sitting by me as
though we were excellent friends.
JaQueline seated herself in a rocker di-
rectly in view of both myself and the
captain and, rocking vigorously all the
while, chatted like maybe. The cap
tain settled himself within his COM
Portable seat, asked permission to
smoke and, finding that he had but
one cigar, insisted on my smoking it,
OF course l refused, but he was too
innately well bred to smoke it himself
without another for me- Miss Jack
solved the problem by standing before
him with a lighted match till he was
forced to yield.
Then from without came the jingle
of a banjo. Jaqueline caught the
sound and stood listening, her head
poised on one side, her eyes sparkling
as though forgetful of everything save
the music.
"Thats The Bonny Blue Flag"
she exclaimed, and she hummed the
words in a sweet though by no means
strong voice. AS she went on she sang
rather than hummed, becoming more
and more animated, keeping time by
patting her foot on the floor. l glanced
at the captain. He was looking at her
admiringly, the charm enhanced at
hearing a war song dear to every Con-
federate soldier given with so much
spirit by such an attractive creature.
Suddenly the music stopped.
Don't you like music" asked Jaque-
line of the captain. 81 do; love it."
81 like it when warbled by such at
tractive lips" replied the officer.
Then the banjoist without played a
Spanish dance. Jaqueline's body be-
gan to vibrate; but, though alive in ev-
cry limb, she did not dance. There
was something tantalizing in a prom
ised treat that was not realized.
Dance" cried the captain, an ex-
pectant look in his HANDSOME eyes.
"Shall IL"
"Do, please" | put in.
AS bird that has been soaring slow
ly in its expected course, Jaqueline
passed from comparative rest to mo-
ton. In another moment she was NOV
ing about the hall with improvised
steps, as though dancing was, to use
a parodoXical expression. her normal
condition of rest. She fOated, dropped,
rose, rested. keeping time with her
head, her arms, her whole body. For
awhile was so delighted that forgot
all except the dance, and when | be-

ornamental, one on one side of the
door, the other on the other side, like
statues, men at arms in castle halls"
The men looked at each other fool
ishly and grinned. The girl went up to
one of them and asked him to let Her
examine his carbine. He did not quite
like to let it go, but she took it without
saying 'by your leave"
"What funny gun! How short!
How many times can you fire it off?
l wonder if could shoot with it,"
She brought it up to her shoulder
and, after pointing it to the wall, lev
eled it first at one man. then at the
other. They both looked a trile nerv-
Gus, but said nothing. Then she made
a motion to cock it when the muzzle
protested. She burst into a merry
laugh.
"What a brave man! Can't stand
being pointed at by girl! Ever in
battle? What's it like?"
The soldier made no reply, but reach
ed for his carbine and seemed very
much relieved when she suffered him
to take it. There was no more play, for
at that moment we heard the sound of
horses hoofs and. looking out through
the hall doorway, | saw two men riding
up to the house. The one was Captain
Beaumont, the other Tom JaycoX, the
btterest of all my Tennessee enemies
and upon whom | had visited most
summary punishment for the part he
had taken in the massacre. In another
minute they had dismounted and as
cended the steps of the gallery, then
came rapidly through the hall. Cap
tain Beaumont's appearance denoted
that there was something on his mind
of great moment. His companion lum-
bered along beside him with the APP
pearance of one looking for something
or some one of peculiar interest to
him. He was short, thickset man in
corduroy trousers, a double breasted
vest, open, no coat and a broad brim-
med straw hat, the hue of which indi-
Gated that it had served for several
summers. His nose had been broken,
and he had lost an eye. A coarse, stub
by, brown and gray beard grew on his
chin. An uglier specimen Of the poor
white of the south could scarcely be
imagined, and the moment saw him,
knowing of his enmity for me, gave
myself up for lost.
There he is" said Captain Beau
mont.

"Who is he?" asked Miss Jack quick.

the Yankee gineral at Murfreesboro."
| Suddenly all the careless, indolent de-
meanor Of the captain deserted him.
With true southern impulse, without
stopping to investigate the charge, he
was fired by the story that he held in
his hands one who, though southern

close student Of economics and
having had exceptional opportuni
ties to read after the best and most
conservative authorities on these
subjects, which so vitally sfect the
interest of the people, be tock ad-
vantage of them and today there Is
no better Informed young man in the
State on National questions than
Mr.. Lever.
In 1857 he was appointed Secre-
tary to DR.. Stokes and accceptably
served in this capacity until the
death of the latter. Daring his en-
cumbency he won the confidence and
esteem of DR.. Stokes by his fidelity,
his never tagging industry and close
attention to his duties, the prompt
snd intelligent discharge of which
greatly assisted the Doctor in carry
ing out his measures tending toward
the convenience and interest of his
constituency, and became personal
and intimate friend of the now dead
statesman.
He graduated in law at the Uni
versity Of Georgetown, and in 1899
he stood the Bar examination before
the Supreme Court of the State and
was admitted to practice, but has
never practiced, and it is not likely
that he ever will as his taste, incli-
nation and early training all lead him
to follow the avocation of his ances
tore, and during the intervals between
: the sessions Of Congress, she follow
ed the plow."
In 1900 he was elected to the State
Legislature by the largest vote ever
given candidate in the history Of
the county, and his record has ever
been consistent with his promises
made on the stump.
Such is the brief life's history of
Mr.. Lever and low, you, Frank
Lever, the people of Lexington call
upon you to do battle for her, so get
thee up, grid your loins, buckle on
your armour and 60 forth 10 conquer.
Being Thoroughly familiar with
the plans, purposes and work of DR..
Stokes he is pre-eminently qualified
to pick up the threads which have
been broken and carry on that work
without delay and without friction
to a successful completion. Being
brsipy, progressive and perseveriug,
cliusiDg to that which he undertakes
with a wonderful tanacity, he is fully
equipped in every respect to worthily
discharge the duties OF Representa-
tive with credit to himself and honor
to the District, and we can assure
the voters of the Seventh District
that they cannot possibly bestow
their suffrage upon more deserving,
competent and worthy candidate
should he bsrken to the call of his
county, and enter the race.
