was one too many for Ii sensible wom-
an.
However, it began to be whispered
about that since the arrival Of Mr.
James Pendergast. Il tall young muat-
to from Georgia, the citadel had been
successfully attacked. James possessed
a magnificent tenor voice, and when it
rang out in pra'r meetin above the
other voices Aunt Savannah clasped
her hands and rolled her eyes in &c
stasy, while her clear soprano was
hushed in admiring silence. When
James escorted Aunt Savannah home
from meeting one evening, Sis Sukey
Johnson observed to Greasy, Aunt Sa
vannah's married daughter:
"Fo' de Lawd. Greasy. pears like yer
ma done got cotch at las by dat

Aunt Savannah had lived alone in
her one room cabin since the death of
her husband. Near by stood the cabin
in which Greasy lived with her hGs
band ana two children. Both of these
humble homes We're shaded by orange
and lemon trees, and in the plots of
ground in the rear some cabbageS were
growing. Between the two houses a
rudely constructed henhouse and q
chicken yard surrounded by a Stat
fence seemed to receive more care than
either cabins or gardens.
One day soon after the act of gal
lantry which had caused Sukey John
sons comment preparations for some
great event were being made in Aunt
Savannahs cabin. All day she had
been cleaning and cooking. As it near
ed sunset her labors appeared to be
completed The table, covered with a
snowy cloth and neatly set. stood in
the center OF the room. Bouquets of
roses, honeysuckles. jasmines and ole
anders arranged in cracked cups ard
pitchers stood ia every available spoi
and filled the room with fragrance.
On the hearth. where the fire had burn
ed to a few emberS, stood a PLATTER of
fried chicken. and the roasted sweet
potatoes and corn pone were still Gov
cred with the ashes to keep them
warm.
Presently Aunt Savannah emerged

Her husband had been wont to con

that during the three years which had

The excellence of her cooking brought
her into constant demand when the lit

boarders. She was also accounted the
best singer in Pentonyille.
Although she was fully fifty years of
age and exceedingly stout, the com

PY TIE HUMAN EYE

Experiments Made, However, Do Not
Wholly Prove the Truth of the
Thsory--Experlence OF One Man
With the Unbelieving Ostrich.

There is an old saying that any
man can subdue a wild animal by
merely looking into its eyes. and in,
teresting stories are told of adven-
h1ous hunters who have put the the.
Dry to practical test.
An African sportsman had q unique
experience in attempting to charm an
ostrich
Approaching a large ostrich. he
gazed fivedly at it, and to his delight
the mesmeric glance seemed to meet
with immediate success. The bird
crouched and tapped its wings nerv-
ously Some hours laters however,
the mans body was found with the
ostrich alternately sitting and jumping
upon it.
Another believer in the human eye
experimental on a wild cat confined
in geological garden. He afterward
confessed that but for the wires of
the cage his face would have been
torn 90 pieces.
A very different story is related of
man attached to an African hunting
party. Wandering one day from
camp. he surprised two cub lions at
play, and thoughtlessly commenced to
amuse them. He was only too sue
cassful. The big cubs gamboled fear.
lessly about him. and TO his dismay
refused to desist when he wished to
leave them
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run, but the cubs
refused to be shaken off, and in their
play they scratched his legs in fear.
fGl fashion
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations OF delight, and
before long their unusual cries
brought lioness leaping to the spot.
Trembling in every limb, the man
faced the growing animal, while tho
cubs continued to jump at him, eager
for further caresses. The enraged
lioness moved round uneasily in a
circle, man and beast keeping their
eyes fixed steadily on each other, Sew
eral times the lioness crouched to
spring, but the man, from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
AT length, after what seemed an
age when the man was ready to drop
from exhaustion the animal suddenly
called her cubs away ana disappeared
