my methods OF work with these
children will differ radically from the
ordinary methods of teaching. For
instance, you have observed, doubt
less, many a man In the business
world whose school training didn't
extend beyond the seventh or eighth
grade perhaps, but whose mental pro.
cesses and accordingly whose busi-
ness methods were on better plan
and were much better systematized
than those of the man who had had
more years of school and college
training.
Now. when he was child that
man of little training but of excellent
ability would have been the child we
would choose for our school"

- LACK PLAINS was one of the larg-
est and richest plantations in Ala
bama AT the time our story opens,
it was owned by Julian Spotswood,
the only son of his parents, who were dead.
Julians sister had married Mr.. Clark,
greatly against her fathers will, and on that
account had been dsinherited, and had drift
ed away no one knew whittier.
One of MIR. Spottswood's servants was
very old man, called Josh, who was reckoned
somewhat of a poet and very much of a
prophet. Shortly before he died he gave ut
terance to prediction, which ran thus:
"When two-legged bosses works in gear,
An wa'millions pears wrong time O year,
De po will git rich on Christmas Day.
An folks not spected will come to stay"
This mystical language was supposed to pre-
sag sage sudden change in the ownership, of
Black Plains; and when, as it happened, Mr..
Clark did suddenly appear one Christmas Day,
expectation was on tiptoe.
But the prophecy was not fulfilled that time.
Mr.. Clark had a stormy interview with his
brother-in-law, then consulted a lawyer, and
finding that nothing could be done, departed
as suddenly as he had come.
Not long after this, Julian Spotswood died,
leaving widow, son and daughter.
To the negroes, the way now seemed clear
for Mrs Clark to come and Law claim to an
equal interest in her fathers estate; and every
Christmas they looked for those miraculous
occurrences which, according to their prophet,
were to herald the coming of successful
claimant.
1t may be assumed that Mrs. Spotswood
attached no Importance to the prophecy-if,
indeed, she had ever heard of it-but after her
husbands death, her servants noticed that she
was much more melancholy and moody than
formerly.
What she was troubled about they had no
means of knowing certainly, but it was quite
natural to them to conclude that she was in
constant dread of the appearance of Mrs.
Clark.
But as the years sped by, leaving Mrs
Spotswood in undisturbed possession of Black
Plains, some of the negroes began to distrust
old Josh's prophecy, and it quite passed out
of the memory of others. Those who had
lately grown up knew nothing about it, and
of this number was Happy Jack, boy four

ed cotton, Clarence helped him for the sake OF
being with him; and often at night, when
Mrs. Spotswood supposed her son was fast
asleep, he and Jack were making merry to-
gether down at the cabins.
One September evening, Happy Jack was
making his way cautiously through the snowy
cotton fields toward the settlement, which was

And Selling two of the stoutest negro men
present, he stationed them at the pole of
the vehicle, placing the breast-straps in their
hands.
A great shout of laughter went up at this.
But Randall kept straight face and said
not word till he had selected sixteen other
active men and placed them at the hand
spikes.
II wants y all to member you amt black
folks now, he said, addressing his novel
team. "Y' alPs bosses, an bosses can't talk

ri air one O. y all open yo' mouf 'cep'n to

dis whup. See. eff don't!"
The bystanders greeted this speech with
roars of laughter. Even the "hosses" smiled,
and no doubt were severely tempted to break
lutO d uOIS6 laugh.
As Randall was climbing to his high seat
the lead horse, spry young fellow, paved
the. ground and whinnied to indicate that he
understood his role, and was equal to it. Not
to be outdone, the offwheeler brayed so loud
and with such faithfulness to nature that the
other horses were fain to give vent to their
feelings in coughs and snorts, and even Ran
dali smiled grimly.
At the crack of the whip the team dashed
gayly forward, followed by laughing, yelling
uproarious mob.
,"Yah! yah yah! Hooray Laws O. MASSEY
Whoever seed de like O. dat! Look, for de
gracious sakesi"
1t goes without saying that at every house
by the roadside the novel team made great
sensation. Many negroes followed it the en-
tire way, and when it entered the village peo-
Pile came running from every direction to wit
ness the odd sight.
Soon there was jam in the street, and the
horses began to whinny and prance and shy
as though they were desperately frightened.
Ever and anon the off-wheeler exercised his
deep bass voice in a manner that would have
made donkey hang his head in shame.
On his high perch sat Randall, dignifed
and solemn, but chuckling inwardly and swell
ing with proud satisfaction at the success of
his own original conception
