Jimmie half blinded with emotion, was nev-

him to the ends of his toes. He heard the
steady but deadly tones of his father in a
fury: "Go into the house and wait until l
come"
Bowed in anguish, the boy moved across
the lawn and up the steps. His mother was
standing on the veranda still gazing towards
The stable He loitered in the faint hope that
she might take some small pity on his state.
But she could have needed him no less if he
had been invisible. He entered the house.

he continued his comments on the boy and
the revolver. He was not cast down by the
absence of hearers. In fact, he usually talked
better when there was no one to listen save
the horses. But now his observations bore
small resemblance to his earlier and public
statements Admiration and the keen family
pride of Southern negro who has been long
in one place were now in his tone.

A small stone whizzed past Peters head and
clattered on the stable. He hastily dropped
all occupation and struck curious attitude.
His right knee was almost up to his chin, and
his arms were wreathed protectingy about
his head. He had not looked in the direction
from which the stone had come, but be had

Peter Washington, at work in the carriage
house, looked at him in suspicion. What

''Nothin'," said Jimmie, feeling to make sure
the revolver wouldn't fall out and disgrace
him.
Peter chuckled. "S'more foohshness, reck-
on. You gwine be hung one day, Jim, you
keep up all dish yer nonsense"
Jimmie made no reply, but went into the
back garden, where he hid the revolver in
box under a lilac bush. Then he returned TO
the vicinity of Peter and began to cruise to
and fro in the offing, showing all the signals OF
one wishing to open treaty. Pete, he SAID,
chow much does a box of cartridges cost ?"
Peter raised himself violently, holding in one
hand piece of harness, and in the other an
old rag. Cartridges! Ca'tridges! Lam sake!
