She went to her tent and soon re-

MISGUIDED KINDNESS FAILS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l am going to tell you Of the rather
misguided kindness of a friend.
When Miss Samantha Sparling,
Virtuous Yankee spinster, visited her
brother, who owned a cotton planta-
ton and a great many slaves in Ala
bama, she was Mortified beyond meas
ure at the lack of attention given
to the moral training of a flock of
young negroes who overran the place,
getting into every sort of mischief
known to their impish imaginations;
she accordingly considered it her
solemn duty to give them some ideas of
right and wrong.
Now, Miss Samantha did not under
stand child nature of any kind, espe-
cially that of half savage little picki-
ninnies, who were never raised at all,
but "jes' groWed;" but she decided
that the best way to proceed was to
tell them stories of great men and their
deeds.
She had not noticed any evident re-
suits of her story telling until one day
when she told them some tales of the
martyrs. Not long after the story was
finished she was called to her window
by a great commotion in the garden.
Imagine ner horror upon seeing Sambo,
the biggest "bully" among the little
negroes, wired to a post and under him
a fire of dry leaves and grass. The
wire was loose enough so that he had
"shinneyed" up high enough so that

This the lady declined with thanks,
saying, you must be tired and

as she handed him the baby.

This was a case of consideration and
kindness that appealed to me.

BOY HELPS GIRLS HOLD FORT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The little log cabins along the banks
were deserted except the smallest one,
that nestled back among the rocks at
the edge of clump of wood overlook
ing a turn in the rivers course.
Old Uncle Bentham, lying sick and
unable to be removed, and his one
brave daughter who attended him were
its sole occupants.
Across the windswept sand a young
man hurried, unarmed and hatless, to-
ward this cot.
Marcelle Bentham met him at the
door and held up a warning finger as
he noisily urged her to allow him to
carry her father to a place of safety.
''They might possibly overlook us
here, but to remove him will mean GER
tain DEATH" was her answer as she
turned and re-entered.
Her father was asleep, wholly uncon-
scious of the danger so close upon him,
and she, not wishing to disturb him,
took the old f1intlock from its place by
the fireplace, the powder horn from the
mantel, and with a Colt in her belt
crept softly back to the door.
Mr.. Carlton took one gun from her
without a word, ran an experienced eye
over every detail from its bright barrel
to the well-worn stock, and picking up
the bench that sat beside the house
carried it down close to the edge of the
river, and laying it on it's side knelt
behind it.
Around the bend came the head ship,
flying King Georges ensign followed
close by a fleet, and at the sight of the
enemy Marcelle ran down to where the
young man hid aud sat down beside
him. AS the men on shipboard came
into view she, without a tremor, took
deliberate aim at the helmSman and
fired, with her Colt resting on the edge
of the bench.
Cartons gun spoke at the same mo-
ment, and the proud English ship
swerved as the man let go the wheel
and fell when the first mate did.
As the two people on the shore
loaded and reloaded to empty their
guns at the enemy the Englishmen
grew angry and returned fire.
They laughed, when a shot, coming
too close to the Yankees, drove them
up to the house, but, not daunted by
their expected reception, the two young
people strove to carry out a plan that
had Matched in the girls fertile brain
behind the breastworks and had been
told to her companion as they fed for
shelter.
The sick man. awakened by tho
shooting, was ordered to keep still as
the girl scrambled into her fathers
trousers and pulled his slouch hat over
her tousled brown hair.
Getting a pole the size of a gun she
put it over her shoulder. and the man
and the girl went out the back door,
and side by side entered the front door.
Changing coats or hats and positions,
sometimes side by side, sometimes one
behind the other or one coming around
each side of the house to enter in front,
these two brave patriots kept this up,
being too far away for the English to
see their faces, leading them to think
that a large crowd was gathering from
the wood behind the house.
And as the English fleet turned and
retreated down the river Marcelle shook
the young mans hand and thanked him
for "the kindness of a friend"
