CHAPTER III.
NJ nnA

Hambright had changed but little in the
eighteen years Of peace that had followed
the terrors Of Legree's regime. The popu-
lation had doubled, though but few houses
had been built. The town had not grown
from the development of industry but for
a very simple reason--the country people
had moved into the town, seeking refuge
from new terror that was growing of
late more and more a menace to coun-
try home. the rowing criminal negro.
The most important development of
these eighteen years was the complete
alienation of the white and black races as
compared with the old familiar trust of
domestic life.
When Legree finished his work as the
master artificer of the reconstruction pol
icy, he had dug a gulf between the races
as deep as hell. 1t had never been bridged.
The deed was done and it had crystalized
into the solid rock that lies at the basis
of society. It was done at a formative
period, and It could no more be undone
now than you could roll the universe back
in it's course.
The younger generation of white men
only knew the negro as an enemy Of his
people in politics and society. He never
came in contact with him except in men,
ial service, in which the service render
ed was becoming more and more trifing,
and his habits more insolent. He had his
separate schools, churches, preachers and
teachers and his political leaders we're the
benefciaries of Legree's legacies.
With the Anglo-Saxon race guarding the
door of marriage with fire and sword, the
effort was being made to build nation
inside a nation of two antagonistic races.
No such thing had ever been done in the
history of the human race, even under the
DEVELOPMENT of the monarchial and aris-
tocratic froms of society. How could II
be done under the formulas of Democra-
cy with equality as the fundamental ba-
sis of law? And yet this was the program
Of the age.
CASTOR was feeling blue from the reac-
ton which followed his temptation by Nc
Leod. His duty was clear the night be-
fore as he walked firmly homeward, re-
calling the tragedy of the past. Now in
the cold light of day, the past seemed far
away and unreal. The present was near.
pressing, vital. He laid down a book he
was trying TO read, locked his office and
strolled down town to see Tom Camp.
This old soldier had come to be a sort
of oracle to him. His affection for the son
of his colonel was deep and abiding, and
his extravagant flattery OF his talents
and future were so evidently sincere they
always acted as tonic. And he needed
a tonic today.
Tom was seated in chair in his yard
under a big cedar working on basket,
and little golden-haired girl was playing
at his feet. 1t was his old home he had
lost in Legree's day, but had got back
through the help of General Worth, who
came up one day and paid back Tom s
gift of lightwood in cleaning yellow met
al His long hair and full beard were
white now, and his eyes had a soft deep
look that told of sorrows borne in patience
and faith beyond the ken of the younger

To Drive Away Rats Without Poison


There Is a French plan. a New York
plan and a Dutch plan which have been
recommended.
The French have special business
followed by men who are employed to
follow rat-catching.
They take a deep tub, with water at the
bottom. but there IS a little elevation In
the middle like an island-Jugt big enough
70 accommodates q single rat. The top OF
the tub a. covered. but has a valve open
ing downward On the middle OF this
valve a piece OF meat or cheese is liked.
When the rat eats the bait, the valve
drops, the rat drops and the valve springs
back to position. The rats drop In. some
times twenty or thirty in a night, and
they all 60 to lighting for dry place on
the island, and there is survival OF the
strongest next morning-the one inhabi-
tant OF the island.
The New York plan. as furnished, has
rat hole in the floor covered with thin
layer OF moist caustic potassa. When the
rats walk on II, II makes their toes sore.
Then they lick their tongues. and their
tongues get sore; then they 90 out ana

cality.
The Dutch try this plan in Holland. A
lot Of rats are caught and kept together
until they are ravenous and then they be-
come rat-cannibals. After the weakest
are eaten up they turn the rat-eater loose.
and he eats nothing but rats henceforth-
Until the cannibal rat dies or is killed
by the others, the rat tribe has all II can
stand UP TO, In avoiding the destroyer.
