issa was Betty's maiden aunt, who
lived with Betty and her father and
managed them ant the household and
everything on the place. Miss Claris-
sa's hobby was family trees. She
knew more about old Virginia and
Kentucky and Tennessee families
than the recording angel ever i'm

her, she asked me II | was related to
the North Carolina Thorntons. I'd
never heard Of the North Carolina
Thorntons. But | took a long chance,

seemed that the North Carolina
Thorntons were something where they

tween me and happiness, which is an

couldn't get over the fact that / was
a Yankee. He never had been re-
constructed. AS well as l could Judge
he never would be. A dozen times l
proposed going to him and making the
talk of my life. But Betty said II
wouldn't be any use. When | thought
It over ! agreed with her. He was
always very polite to me, in a courtly,
distant, stand-ofish kind of way. But
he mentioned the United States Of
America as II they were foreign parts.
He used to refer to the north as your
country, sir" Why, you would have
supposed that he didn't live in 1t him
self.
why. he never forgaye my brother
Breck for joining the regular army
two years ago" Betty used to tell me.
HE couldn't get over having his own
