went and took the old woman out
to the river and immersed her

mother died about q week or two
later and the daughter 10 holler'

she almost died the first night al.

very peculiar inquiry. He asked II any
body had seen Nan Darlington Well, OF
course, somebody had seen her, but no
body knew where she was at that par
tcular moment. Home was the last place
TO look for Nan. but she happened to be
there when the two men went by on their
way to Shady Dale. They called for her.
and then the three went their way.
Mrs Abraham Goodlett, Dorrington's
housekeeper, watched from her window,
saw the three plotters stop in the middle
of the road and stand there talking. Then
all of a sudden she saw Nan jump at the
shoemaker and throw her arms about
him. This done. the child seized Mr..
Sanders by both hands and tried to
swing him around in a wild dance. Owing
to circums tances. Mr.. Sanders was not
swingable. He simply turned on his heels
and allowed Nan to whirl around him,
and when she had finished this series Of
gyrations she threw her arms around his
rotund figure and gave him good
squeezing.
And certainly Nan seemed to be very
well pleased this time, for when she had
her companions reached Shady Dale she
rushed at Miss Johns and came near
smothering her with hugs and kisses, and
she repeated the same performance with
Sarah Clopton.
Man. Mani you are smothering met"
laughing What does It mean?"
"Oh. don't you know7" exclaimed Nan:
ITS only two days to Christmas. 'Nonny
her pet name for Mrs. Absalom-was
ssying t'other day that II this spell Of
weather keeps up we'll have ripe peaches
On April fools day and figs IN May"
This being a matter beyond dispute,
Mans email audience could only laugh at
her enthusiasm. However, when no one
else was looking, Mr.. Sanders winked and
Mr. Valicombe shrugged his shoulders,
otter the manner OF his people. And
then-how IL wes done no one seemed 20
know-Nan inveigled Miss Johns into tax
irg a walk; whereupon Mr.. Sanders, re-
inforced and supported by Mr.. Vali-
combes eloquent shoulders and hands,
gave Sarah Clopton to understand that
1t was the desire Of certain influential in
dividuals to set out Christmas tree for
the especial pleasure of Miss Johns.

SO. Zepherine tells me that among her

people come from far and near to kneel
before their parents and ask their bless

marked Mr.. Sanders. in this State an

their parents a blessin' out any day In

But what can II be2 Is 1t about ne?'
AS she spoke Miss Johns began to blush
even as she had blushed before Sarah
Clopton.
Nan paid no attention to the bushes.
She simply placed a hand over her mouth
and shook her head. When she did speak
she pretended to be angry. You know
