After Lees Surrender.

In Recollections and Letters Of
General Robert e. Lee" Captain r. f.
Lee describes his fathers return to
private life after the surrender of APP
pomattOX. He says:
"A day or two after the surrender
Gen. Lee started for Richmond, riding
Traveller, who had carried him so well
all through the war. He was accom-
panied by some of his staff On the
way he stopped at the house of his
eldest brother, Charles Carter Lee, who
lived on the upper James, in Powhatan
county. He spent the evening in talk
ing with his brother, but when bed
time came though begged by his host
to take the room and bed prepared for
him, he insisted on going to his old
tent. pitched by the roadside, and pass
ed the night in the quarters that he
was accustomed to. On April Is he
arrived in Richmond. The people there
soon recognized him. Men, women
and children crowded around him,
cheering and waving hats and hand
kerchiefs. 1t was more like the well
come to a conqueror than to defeat
ed prisoner on parole. He raised his
hat in response to their greeting and
rode quietly to his home on Franklin
street, where my mother and sisters
were anXiously awaiting him. Thus
he returned to that private family life
for which he had always longed and
became what he always desired to be
"a peaceful citizen in perceful land. "

however, glancing up and catching,
suppose, wistful look in my tell
tale eyes, Auntie seemed to divine my
unspoken wish and smiled indulgently.
"A story? Well, choose a block and
we shall see if there is anything worth
telling about it."
Delightfully."- availing myself of the
kindly offer, l leaned over the edge of
the hammock and scanned the folded
quilt for an interesting looking block.
A dark blue one with fine lines of
white caught my eye.
Tell me about this one, please,
Auntie"
Aunt Martha laughed. "Why, dear
child, that is a piece of one of my
kitchen aprons. The only story con-
nected with that is prosaic enough.
Three words tell it-baking, churning,
dishwashing. Try again"

and white stripe?" A glance at Aunt
Martha's face told me l had not chos-

"Ah, that! Yes. 1 can tell you some
thing about that. Let me think a
minute, and she dropped her work
in her lap and rocked idly back and
forth a few minutes, summoning mem
DRY to her aid. Soon she resumed her
work again and the story began.
when l was a little girl a family
named Larkson lived near my fathers
home The husband and wife were
thrifty people, but very poor, and they
were seven of them, between the ages
of - and years, and it used to be a
mystery to me how they all managed
to live in their tiny story-and-a-half
cottage The fact is, they didn't live
in it, they only stayed there nights.
At all other times, summer and win
ter, rain or shine, they lived out of
doors, and a happier, healthier brood
it would have been hard to find.
MY story principally concerns the
youngest of these children, little Roy

many tears from the mother, and
many signs from the father. For, i'll
spite of Turner's assurances it did
seem as if they were selling their
child
For some time all went we'll and
the interest was paid regularly. Then
another little Larkson appeared upon
the scene, typhoid fever attacked the
two oldest children, and finally two
years had elapsed since any interest
had been paid on the strange mort
gage.
Roy was years old when Turner
foreclosed and took the boy to live
with him. BY this time the Larksons
had become accustomed to the idea,
they saw they never could pay their
debt in any other way and knew,
moreover, that it was doubtless for

the love of this man who could do so
much for him. And really, it was not
so very hard to bear, after ALL Roy
was at home as much as ever, the only
difference being that at meal times
and at night he went across the road
His mother cared for his clothes as
usual, but Turner insisted on paying
her for it,
"A change had geen gradually COM
ing over Hold Turner. The child's love
seemed to have made another man Of
him and he was now as genial as he
had formerly been gruff He lived in
the boy, made plans for his future
and spoke of him as his son. AS for
Roy he was quite cOntented and hap
py with the new order of things.
"One night the climax of the Lark
sons troubles came There was a cry
or fret that awoke Turner and Roy
across the road. How the fire had
started no one knew, but before it was
discovered it gained such Roadway
that there was barely time for all the
family to escape when, amid walls of
grief and dismay, the roof fell. Not
thing was saved.
"Then Hold Turner gave proof of the
change wrought in his character. He
opened wide his big house and took
in the homeless family, to stay until
they could find some other home.
"Mr. Larkson at once sought anoth-
er farm to rent; without success AS
| the weeks went on, Turner found that
the merry family of children bright
ened up his gloomy house amazingly.
Mrs. Larkson's cooking was better
than his own, and Larkson had more
practical ideas of farming than his
foreman had, and so-well, as the vii
lage wag put it, Turner might as
well have had mortgage on the whole
family

some indefinable change of feeling, Mr..
Horace Turner to the whole village

one was surprised to find Roy, little
Roy no longer, his sole heir"
