7 was set upon Major Robert Bever
ly's tomb as most desirable hiding
place for them. aud knowing that there
was meeting of the assembly that
evening at the governors to discuss
some matters in private before he sail
ed for England. Major Beverly being
clerk, | thought that before the noon
was up would be favorable time for
the removal, but could not move the
goods alone. remembering how those
sturdy sailors tagged at them. and not
deeming ii well to get any aid from the
slaves.
So / rode straight to Barry Upper
Branch, and a handsome black wo-
man in Haunting gown, with a great
display of beads and an orange silk
scarf twisted about her head came TO
parley with me and told me that both
the brothers were away, and added that
she thought should find them at the
tavern.
The tavern was brick building
Astounding in sharp slants Of roof and
dinlmed in outline by a spreading
cloud of new leaved branches, and
there was one great honey locust which
was a marvel to be seen, and hummed
with bees with a mighty drone as Of
all the spinning wheels in the country,
and the sweetness of it blew down up
on one passing under, like a wind of
breath. And before the tavern were
4sI 4 ~ clio iyi,,xr fl,s;,. 1ro7e
for the early flies, many fine horses,
and among them Parson Downs and
the Barry brothers, and from within
the tavern came the sound of laughter
in discordant shouts and now and then
a snatch Of a song. Then great
hoarse rumble Of voice would cap the
rest, telling some loose story, then the
laughter would follow enough, it
seemed. to make the roof shake and
all the time the hum of the bees in
the honey locust outside went on.
Before | entered the tavern out burst
Parson Downs and caught hold Of me
with a great shout of welcome. Half
drunk he was and yet with a marvel
Gus steadiness on his legs and a com-
mand of his voice which would have
done him credit in the pulpit. 1t was
said that this great parson could drink
more fiery liquor and not betray it
than any other man in the colony, and
Nick Barry, who was something of a
wag, said that the parsons wrestlings
with spirits of another sort had rem
dered him powerful in his encounters
with these also. Be that as it may,
though | doubt not Parson Downs had
drunk more than any man there, no
sign Of it was in his appearance ex-
cept that his boisterousness was some
thing enhanced and his hand on my
shoulder feyered.
Good day. good day, Master Harry
Wingfeid," he shouted. "How goes
