Fidelity Shown by Virginia
'Darky" That Annals of
History May Be
Searched to
Match.

Dick was a niger, just a Virginia
slave niger. When a little boy, he
was scullion in the kitchen. He car
ried the wood and water for the cook,
and secured the pots and kettles, and
turned the spit when the turkey was
roasting, dipping and basting the
gravy from the pan, and nodding in
his work after the manner of all small
darkies.
When the war came the carriage
rested in the carriage house, the
horses were taken by the Yankees,
and Dick became my servant In the
army of the south-a gentleman's gen.
tleman, as he called himself.
No man ever had a more faithful
and devoted follower than / had in
Dick. He was captured twice with me
by Union forces, and each time re-
fused the freedom which his capture
gave him. IL don't want to be no freer
than / always has been," he said on
both of these occasions. Once l dis
charged him for being drunk. Think
of discharging a slave! 1t was at
Chattanooga, and Dick hung around
Headquarters for several days and was
very unhappy. Finally he came to me
with a Bible in his hand and said: Il
wants TO swear on this that If you Will
take me back l will not drink drop
during the war" He took the oath
and kept It faithfully to the end, at
Appomattox.

Ing mounted upon the star bucker Of
the outfit and he wanted to give the
boys all the fun there was due them.
They shouted as he sought to con.
vince the broncho that mounting from
the right was a proper proceeding,
but the laugh died down as Jimmie
suddenly shot into the saddle.
II was hard to say whether the
men or the pony were the more sur
prised. The pony stood stock still to
think the matter over and that ten
seconds grace enabled Jimmie to find
the other stirrup. Then, with a
squeal. the pony began its perform
ance.
Twenty minutes later Jimmie reined
up In front OF the Golden Dream sa-
loon and slipped from the saddle.
How about it?" he demanded.
You're on" assented Dusty. Come
inside"
But great was Jimmie's surprise
when couple of days later he was
riding across the range, to be accost-
ed by Grace Beavers, the niece of the
owner of the ranch.
Are you the Shakespearean cow
boy!" she demanded, as she refined In
h>r pony. You are the man they
call Aamfat' are you not?"
I'm Hamfat"
THE colonel was telling me about
you"
Later, when she came to know jim
nile better, she dropped the inquiring
air and they frankly discussed the
drama and ranch life while their eyes
spoke messages that Jimmie longed
to put into speech
But It was not long before he dared
speak of his love. They had been
riding across the range and In at
tempting to cross a gully. Grace's
horse had slipped and she was thrown.
AS she pitched forward Jimmie
spurred his horse, but he was too
late to save her and she struck the
soft earth.
For a moment Jimmie thought that
she was killed and he knelt beside
her. reproaching himself for not hav-
ing shown more care In watching her
horse. Grace opened her eyes to look
into his own and It needed no spoken
word to tell each other that they
loved

Better TO hide from the Indian scouts

Lest they should count them and see
how many already have perished!'
Sadly his face he averted, and strobe
up and down, and was thoughtful.
Fixed TO the opposite wall was a
shelf of books, and among them
Prominent three, distinguished alike
for bulk and for binding;
Bariffe's Artillery Guide, and the Com
mentaries of Caesar,
Out of the Latin translated by Arthur
Goldinge of London,
And, as If guarded by these, between
them was standing the Bible.
Musing a moment before them, Miles
Standish paused, as If doubtful
Which of the three he should choose
for his consolation and comfort,
Whether the wars of the Hebrews, the
famous campaigns of the Romans,
Or the Artillery practice. designed for
belligerent Christians.
Finally down from it's shelf he dragged
the ponderous Roman,
Seated himself at the window, and
opened the book. and in silence
Turned DER the well-worn leaves,
where thumb-marks thick on the
margin,
Like the trample of feet, proclaimed

GrierSOn'S Triumph
By Hollis Otway

Grierson limped slowly along the
track. Some 1900 miles ahead lay
Chicago At various intervals along
the track were telegraph Offices. Grier'
son had only to send wire and trans
portation would be rushed through to
him. but this was not Grierson's way
When he had left home with the
touring company there had been a
scene In his fathers office that would
have resulted in an open rupture had
not both men held their tempers un.
der perfect control.
Then he went down to the station
to join the Harding Metropolitan
Stars. and Gamewell Grierson turned
back to his rosewood desk. trying to
derive some satisfaction from the
thought that the experience would
cure the boy of his stage fever.
The crash came in Nevada. The
manager had suggested to Jimmie
that he could have a half interest II
he would move the company, pointing
out that with a railroad president for
a father the procurement OF passes
should be a matter of great ease.
Jimmie's reply had not been marked
by temperatures.
Then he had set his face east and
more than 500 miles of ties and tracks
had already been covered when he
came into sight OF Elcho.
Adjoining the station platform were
some of the boys from the Blazing II
outfit and they were pleased to be
facetious at his expense. Jimmie was
too tired to be angry, and chaffed
back as we'll as he could. At last
Dusty Miller. the foreman. suggested
that they needed man.
Il think can fill the place." smiled
Jimmie. want to take me on?"
Can you ride?" demanded Dusty.
II guess | can," was the modest
answer. 1T won't be any worse than
walking, anyhow"
Dusty led the way to where the
ponies were tethered and the scanty
population gathered to watch the fun.
With malice aforethought. Jimmie
climbed into the saddle from the right
hand side. He knew that he vas be-

This he said with a smile, that danced

This he said with a smile, that danced
in his eyes, as the sunbeams
Dance on the waves of the sea, and
vanish again in a moment.
Alden laughed as he wrote, and still
the Captain continued:
Look! you can see from this window
my brazen howitzer planted
High on the roof of the church. a
preacher who speaks to the pur-
pose,
Steady, straightforward. and strong
with irresistible logic,
Orthodox, flashing conviction right
into the hearts of the heather.
Now We are ready, think. for any
assault Of the Indians;
Let them come, If they like. and the
sooner they try it the better
Let them come, If they like, be it saga
more, sachem, or powwow,
Aspinet, Samoset. Corbitant, Squanto,
or Tokamahamon!"
Long at the window he stood, and
wistfully gazed on the landscape,
Washed with a cold gray mist, the
vapory breath of the east wind,
Forest and meadow and hill, and the
steel-blue rim of the ocean,
Lying silent and sad, In the afternoon
shadows and sunshine.
Over his countenance fitted a shadow
like those on the landscape,
Gloom intermingled with light; and
his voice was subdued with emo
ton,
Tenderness. pity, regret, as after a
pause he proceeded:

Miles StQndiSh

In theeld Colony days, in Plymouth,
the land of the Pilgrims,
To and fro in a room Of his simple
and primitive dwelling.
Clad in doublet and hose, and boots OF
Cordovan leather,
Strobe, with a martial air, Miles
Standish, the Puritan Captain.
Buried in thought he seemed, with his
hands behind him, and pausing
Ever and anon to behold his glitter
ing weapons of warfare,
Hanging in shining array along the
walls of the chamber
Cutlass and corselet of steel, and his
trusty sword of Damascus,
Curved at the point and inscribed with
its mystical Arabic sentence,
While underneath, in a corner, were
fowling-piece, musket, and match
lock.
Short of stature he was, but strongly
built and athletic,
Broad in the shoulders, deep-chested,
with muscles and sinews of iron;
Brown as a nut was his face, but his
russell beard was already
Flaked with patches of snow, as
hedges sometimes in November.
Near him was seated John Alden, his
friend and household companion,
Writing with diligent speed at table
of pine by the window;
Fair-haired, aZure-eyed, with delicate
Saxon complexion,
Having the dew of youth, and the
beauty thereof. as the captives
Whom Saint Gregory saw, and ex-
claimed, Not Angles, but Angels"
Youngest Of all was he of the men
who came In the Mayfower.
Suddenly breaking the silence, the
diligent scribe interrupting,
Spake, in the pride of his heart, Miles
Standish, the Captain of Plymouth.
Look at these arms" he said, the
warlike weapons that hang here
Furnished and bright and clean, as If
for parade or inspection!
This is the sword of Damascus
fought with in Flanders; this
breastplate,
Well | remember the day! once saved
my life in a skirmish;
Here in front you can see the very
dint of the bullet
Fired point-blank at my heart by a
Spanish arcabucero.
Had it Tot been of sheer steel, the for
gotten bones of Miles Standish
Would at this moment be mold, In
their grave In the Flemish
morasses."
Thereupon answered John Alden, but
looked not up from his writing:
"Truly the breath of the Lord hath
slackened the speed of the bullet;
He in his mercy preserved you, to be
our shield and our weapon!"
Still the Captain continued, unheeding
the words of the STRIPPING:
See, how bright they are FURNISHED,
as If in an arsenal hanging;
That is because / have done It my
self, and not left 1t to others.
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-09-30

Serve yourself, would you be well
sefYed, is an excellent adage;
So / take care of my arms, as you Of
your pens and your inkhorn.
Then, too. there are my soldiers, my
great invincible army,
Twelve men, all equipped, having each
his rest and his matchbox,
Eighteen shilling a month, together
with diet and pillage,
and, like Caesar, know the name OF
each of my soldiers!"
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-09-30

day at latest, God willing!
Homeward bound with the tidings OF
all that terrible winter,
Letters written by Alden, and full Of
the name of Priscilla,
Full of the name and the fame of the
Puritan maiden PRISCILLA!
