l shall Always hold pleasant memory of
a visit made to Paul Hamilton Haynes
lonely home, amid the arid pine hills of
Georgia, in November, 1881. After a fort
nights outing with my archery tackle
in the bird-haunted fringes of the Okefin-
okee and along the Satilla's reedy mar
gins, 1 rejoined my wife in Savannah,
where l found Horatian epistle from
Hayne inviting us to "Copse HILL"
In order to reach there at the time,
we had to run far up into South Carolina
and change cars at Yemassee-a doleful
place-whence a monotonous journey
through the pines took us to Augusta,
a comely city in the Savannah valley
trimmed round at the horizon with. dreamy
blue hills. From there eighteen miles Of
climbing, and then we got off Georgia
railroad car at silent fast-closed
Misunderstanding station in tumbled and
unkempt wilderness The only inhabi-
tants visible were some russell pigs that
had been having a dusty wallow under
the platform
Pine forests all undergrown with scrub
oak and sweet-gum bushes covered the
dry hills and choked the hollows between
l stood bag in hand looking dolefully
about, feeling lost or stolen, more isolated
than in any camp of the Okefnokee; but
minute later came slight man around
the turn of road that wriggled between
the trees. 1t was Hayne, chagrined at
being late, but magnifcently profuse with
gracious welcome.
He was neither short nor tall, five feet
eight l should say, slender, straight, with
a well-polsed head, long face brown
eyes of an Oriental cast slightly lifted at
the outer corners, dark hair and NOUS
tache, rather thick lips, well-turned
chin, straight nose, high, narrowish fore
head and bronzed cheeks barely tinged
with a network of find red veins. There
was strong resemblance between his
face and that of the late Robert Louis
Stevenson. | was surprised that he did
not look like an invalid; for he had often
written me about his hopeless physical
condition. Later. upon closer observation.
some constitutional lesion became vague
