Clarence and Mary expected visitors from
Tennessee. The fact that they had meyer
seen their expected guests, added to, rather
than subtracted from, their pleasant antlci-
pations.
Tommie and Eugenia Glover! Such were
the magic names, the bare mention of which
thrilled our young friends with delight.
Clarence knew that Iommle was me lei

invited to spend the holidays with the spots
wood children. =,
Unfortunately, Tommie was taken sick about
the time set for the visit, and MIS-. Giover
wrote that the children would not be able
to reach Black Plains before Christmas Day
Clarence duly impaired this news to Happy
Jack. Of course, and Happy Jack exclaimed,

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 disinherited, and had drift
ed away no one knew whittier.
One of Mr.. Spottswood's servants was
very old man, called Josh, who was reckoned
somewhat of a poet and very. much of
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-
sage, a 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 LAWYER. and
finding. that nothing could be done, departed
as suddenly as he had come.
Not long after this, Julian Spotswood died
leaving a widow, a son and daughter.
To the negroes, the way now seemed clear
for Mrs. Clark to come and lay 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.
II 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 tho 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
teen years old.
Clarence Spotswood and Happy Jack were
boon companions in spite Of Mrs. Spotswood' s
Opposition. Whether Jack hoed corn or pick
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
