terest at once and carefully scanning
my face through his spectacles.
Yes" answered, which was the
truth at least, for l had suddenly con.
ceived the idea Of collecting data for
a novel. For where else, thought,
could there be better characters and
scenery than right here? My aged
companion looked thoughtful for q mo

which he held his father. BE lived to
see the colony he had planted become
an Independent state, you know, sir.
and he seemed mighty proud of the
record old Georgia made during the
war of the Revolution. The Pines, as
we call our home. was built just after
his death, and his picture has the place
of honor in 1t now. 1t is a sorry place
since the Yankees came through here
and used 1t az a stable, but we keep it
with the hope that some day the for.
tunes of the family may go out Of their
eclipse and that some worthy son will
arise to restore 1t to its former posi-
ton of importance In the common
wealth. But what there is left you
