REWARD FOR OLD SERVANT.

r.-m.r slave, After Long Service,
IL Retired to Comfort.
William Henderson, colOred, Tor
fortv wears the faithful coachman OF
tho John A. Morris family at Throggs
Neck. can lean back on the cushions
If his own carriage now and order his
coachman to drive him along the shore
Of the Sound and up and down the
hills of Westchester. the New York
World says.
Such is the reward which comes
when he and his wife are seventy and
we'll enough to enjoy many a drive.
Perhaps the reward, which, in add1-
ton to horses and carriage and coach
man, includes house and land ana
income for life, was fastened by Mrs
Morris conclusion that the automo
bile is the proper carriage for the
modern woman of fashion. She chung
to horses for years after all her ac-
ouaintances had abandoned their IAN
daus and victorias for touring cars
and when she drove out nobody could
sit on the box and handle the relHs
but William Henderson.
Finally Mrs. Morris was persuaded
by her sons, Dave Hennen Morris, lot
mer president of the Auto CLUB or
America, and Alfred Hennen Morris,
that the horseless carriage Is the
thing. So just the other day she took
her last ride behind her favor1te bays
and upon the return from that drive
William Henderson was retired on his
pension and the bays became his. The
astonished negro-he wasn't really
happy one when he learned that 1t was
the last drive of his mistress
told that fine cottage on the estate,
with its stable and enough land to
grow all his vegetables, were also his
and his wifes; that the assistant
coachman was to become his driver
and that he was to have gardener
and a good income in cash. The pa
pers transferring all this wealth and
luxury to the aged negro had been
drawn up before the last drive and his
benefactress told him of it briefly as
she stepped from the carriage.
Most of his friends didn't hear of
his good fortune till last Sunday, when
he had to confide it to them after the
morning service in the Presbyterian
church He and his wife walked to
the church, for Mrs. Morris attends 1t,
and the retired coachman did not want
to make his first appearance behind
those bays just at that time and place.
Mrs Morris was Cora Hennen of
New Orleans and Henderson was born
in the service of her family. The free
ing of the slaves offered him nothing
so attractive as staying with the same
old family which his father and
mother had served; so when Miss Hen
men married John A. Morris and came
north Henderson came with her. He
is known all over Westchester county
almost as well as the Morrises them
selves. Several weeks ago he saved
Mrs. Morris life by stopping a pair
of runaways and nearly lost his own
life in doing it.

CHAPTER VIII.

When l awoke in the morning l was
more than half of the mind that l had
dreamed of the lightning's singular pic
lures, or at least that, being suddenly
startled from sound sleep and dazzled by
successive flashes and stunned by the
roar of thunder, my Imagination had
played some trick on me. Anything else
seemed too remarkable to be believed. Yet
l could not quite convince myself that
had not seen the tormented schooner, the
landing on the beach of the long boat, the
march into the pines, and the final pic
ture of that tall, gaunt figure gazing sea-
ward. l could not believe that my imagi-
nation or my dreams could be so vivid as
my remembrance of those scenes.
questioned Charles closely at break
fast as to how he had passed the night.
Il seemed that he had slept stolidly
through all the uproar. Even had he not,
he would probably have seen nothing, for
his room was at the back of the house.
The storm continued, though with les
seped violence. After breakfast l ven
tured out, dressed for wetting, and
went first to the place where, as l re-
membered, the long boat had been beach
ed. The waves had done away with all
traces of the keel. Then followed as
nearly as 1 could the path which the
strangers had taken to the pines: but
the wind and rain had obliterated the
footsteps, if there had ever been any
there. 1 poked into the pines, only to
be drenched by waterfalls for my pains.
The mystery was as deep as ever when
1 finally desisted and went back to shell
| ter.
After some thought, L determined to
keep my secret to myself. Charles would
respectfully listen to my statement, but
| without further evidences b would be
