There had been no such excitement
in the village since the arrival OF the
new music teacher. Julie North. To
believe that Dickie Armstrong could
really hypnotize people seemed q
large draft on ones credulity. Dickie
had lived in Wakely the twenty-four
years Of his existence, had gone
through the grammar school. the most
mischievous boy in 1t, had been OF
to college and come home to practice
law. without any one suspecting he
possessed mysterious powers.
Since the fact had become generally
known, the postmaster referred to va
rious letters and pamphlets that had
been coming for the last three
months, and gave 1t as his opinion
that Dickie Armstrong had taken q
course In hynotism by mail.
In the meantime the four months
In Wakely had been full Of novel
pleasure to Julie North. Coming
rom busy northern city there seem
ed something fascinating In the lazy.
happy lives Of these Southerners. Her
landlady, one of the before-the-war
aristocracy, treated her like a guest.
The landlady's three bachelor broth
ers seemed to think their mission in
life was to see that the new teacher
should not have chance to get lonely.
These four, following as near aS
possible. the old-fashioned, luxurious
style Of the before-the-war planter.
had rented their many inherited acres
of cotton and rice lands, and consid-
cred they had labored as much as
was good for man when they made
the rounds every fall to collect the
rent.
The three brothers were known
through the section as Mr.. Jack, Mr..
Courteney and Mr. Pat, and no one
ever took the trouble to add their last
name unless 1t were In conversation
with some one born outside the bound
aries Of South Carolina. Then the
Darragh brothers were referred to in
the same way one referred to the
fora and fauna Of the state-as facts
generally known.
