Following these directions some after
Moons ago, came to the dwelling of a
weli-known gentleman of color,-Lewis
Lindsay, sab.
When first seen. Lewis was too tired
to converse with his usual brilliancy, for
he had just come in from his business of
delivering newspapers. His work is quite
wearing. for he loves the old men who
were mis- friends in youth, and are thus
associated in his mind with days when
the blood leapt through his veinsslike old
wine. and when he achieved his triumphs
as man Of affairs. and he will walk all

However. Lindsay finally came in with
an enormous, calf-bound time-worn. le-
gai-looiiilS volume and proceeded to I'M
laden his bosom of this nara tive in words
now picturesque and melodious like the
words We hear from cornfield hand in
districts far from the railroad; now bonn
bastic and empty, like the seven-sylla-
bic monsters. which roll from the lips of
hot-air stump speakers.
NATIVE OF CAROLINE COUNTY.
White Plains. Caroline county, Va, had
the honor of offering Lewis place for his
birth. which occurred some time between
1929 and 1S32-well back in the old "foh

removed his distinguished presence from
the pines OF Caroline for both he and
his mother were sold to a gentleman liv-
ing iE Bowling Green, Va. AS he grew
