my SOUL Had it been another man
who asked me to carry this mes
sage, must have refused. But
this man was my master, my chief,
in whose service l had engaged.
For myself, his agent, had, as I
say, left the old Trist homestead at
the foot of South mountain In Mary

four years semi-diplomatic training

was under him that finished my
| studies in law. Meantime, l was
his messenger in very many quests,
his source of information in many
matters where he had no time to go
into details.
Strange enough had been some of
the circumstances in which found
myself thrust through this relation
with man SO intimately connected
for generation with our public
life. For six months l had been in
Mississippi and Texas studying
matters and men. and now, just
back from Natchitoches, l felt that
I had earned some little rest.
Vaguely in my conscience l felt
that, after all, my errand was JUS
titled, even though at some cost to
my own wishes and my own pride.

The sound of wheels behind me
on the muddy pavement called my
attention, and l looked about. A
carriage came swinging up to the
curb where l stood. 1t was driven
rapidly, and as it approached the
door swung open. l heard a quick
word, and the driver pulled up his
horses. I saw the light shine
