soul with its power. The benches Mele
all moved out and the whole church
floor given up to mourners. Uncle
Josh had an easy time walking
around, just adding few terrifying
hints to trembling sinners, or helping
to hold some strong sister when she
had ''come through with so much
glory in her bones that there was dan

After week the matter became so
serious that the. white people set in

Dick had thrown out mysterious hint

Uncle Josh's fury knew no bounds.
He was heartbroken at the sudden col
lapse Of his revival, chagrined at the
recollection of his own terror at the
fire, and fearful of an avalanche Of
backsliders from the meeting among
those who had professed even With

CASTOR could be seen on the big hill to
the south Of town warmly watching for
somebody. He would always take
something to eat in his pockets, and
when he gave up his vigil he would
place the food under a big shelving
rock where they had often played to-

squirrels ate it. He would slip back
the next day. hoping to see Dick jump
out of the cave and surprise him.
And then at last he gave it up, sat
down under the rock and cried. He

Overrunning the house. He saw the
DRY he loved as he loved life. And now
he recalled a sentence from her dying

"You will grow to be a brave, strong
man. You will fight this battle out
and win back our home, and bring
your own bride here in the faraway

You will fight this battle out-he had
almost lost that sentence in his hunger
for that which followed. 1t came to
his soul now, ringing like trumpet
call to honor and duty.
He turned on his heel and walked
rapidly home He looked at his watch.

er wheat Straw!,
The brethren hurried forward with
the wheat straw, and just as they
reached Uncle Josh, standing perspir-
ing in the midst Of his grooming mourn
ers, Dick flashed from the gallery a
stream of dazzling light .on the old
mans face and held it steadily on his
bald head. Josh was too astonished
to move at first. He was simply par
alyzed with fear. It is all right to
talk about the flames Of the spirit, but
he wasn't exactly ready to run into it.
Suddenly he clapped his hands on the
top Of his head and sprang straight up
In the air, yelling in, a plain, everyday
profane voice:
God der mighty! What's data"
The brethren holding the straw saw
it and stood dumb with terror. The
light disappeared from Uncle Josh's
head and lit the straw in splendor on
one of the deacon's shoulders. Aunt
Mary's voice was heard above the
mourners' din, clear, shrill and soul
piercing.
"G-l-o-r-y! Glory ter God! De
fame er de sperit! De judgment day!
Vas, Lawd, rs here! Glory! Hallelu-
yahv' ~
Suddenly the straw on the deacon's
back burst into flames. And pande-
monium broke loose. A weak minded
sinner screamed, de flames err hell!'
The mourners smelled the smoke and
sprang from the floor with white,
staring eyes. When they saw the fire
and got their bearings they made for
the open-they jumped on each others
back and made for the door like mad
men. Those nearest the windows
sprang through, and when the lower
part Of the window was damned, big
buck negroes jumped on the backs of
the lower crowd and plunged through
the two upper sashes with crash that
added new terror to the panic.
In two minutes the. church was
empty and the yard full Of crazy,
shouting negroes.
Dick stepped from the gallery into
the crowd as the last ones emerged,
ran up TO the pulpit and stamped out
the fire in the straw with his bare feet.
He looked around to see if they had
left anything valuable behind in the
stampede. and sauntered leisurely out
of the church.
Nov. cog gone 'em, let 'em yellv' he
muttered to himself.
When Uncle Josh sufficiently recov-
cred his senses to think, and saw the
church still standing, with not even a
Whit of smoke to be seen, instead of
the roaring furnace he had expected,
he was amazed. He called his scat
tered deacons together and they went
cautiously back to investigate.

straw said another.
'Hit smite me fust right on top er
my haid." whispered Uncle Josh, in
awe.
They cautiously approached the pu!-
pit. and there in front Of it lay the
charred fragments of the burned straw
pile.
They gathered around it in awe
struck wonder. One of them touched
it with his foot.
"Doan' do dat!' cried Uncle Josh,
hitting his hand with authority.
They drew back. Uncle Josh saw
the immense power in that heap of
charred straw Some of it was a little
damp and it had been only partly
burned.
"Dar's de mericle er de speritr' he
solemnly declared. ~
"Yas, Lawdr' echoed a deacon.
Fetch de hammer, en- de saw, en- de
nails, en- de boards, en- build right dar

phetic commands.
And they did. They got an old
showcase of glass, put the charred
straw in it, and built an open boxwork
around it just where it fell in front Of
the pulpit.
Then a revival broke out that COM
pletely paralyzed the industries of
Campbell county. Every negro stopped
work and went to that church. Uncle
Josh didn't have to preach or to
plead. They came in troops toward

-H little In the e1ghteeN years OF
peace that had followed the
terrors of Legree's regime.
The population had doubled, though but
few houses had been built. The town
had not grown from the development
of industry, but for very simple rea-
son-the country people had moved,
seeking refuge from new terror that
was growing Of late more and more
menace to country home-the rowing
criminal negro.
The birth of a girl baby was sure to
make a father restless, and when the
baby looked up into his face one day
: with the soft light of a maiden he
gave up his farm and moved to town.
The most important development OF
these eighteen years was the complete
alienation of the white and black races
as compared with the old familiar
trust of domestic life.
. When Legree finished his work as
the master artifcer of the reconstruc-
ton policy. he had dug gulf between
the races. 1t had never been bridged.
The deed was done, and it had crys-
talized into the solid rock that lies at
the basis of society.
The younger generation of white men
only knew the negro as an enemy OF
his people in politics and society. He
never came in contact with him ex-
cept in mental service, In which the
service rendered was becoming more
and more tfifling and his habits more
insolent He had his separate schools,
churches, preachers and teachers, and
his political leaders were the bene-
fciaries of Legree's legacies.
With the Anglo-Saxon race guarding
the door of marriage with fire and
sword the effort was being made to
build a nation inside a nation Of two
antagonistic races. No such thing had
ever been done in history. even under
the development of the monarchicaf
and aristocratic forms Of society. How
could it be done under the formulas
of democracy with equality as the
basis of law? And yet this was the
program Of the age.
CASTOR was feeling blue from the re-
action which followed his temptation
by Mcleod. His duty was clear the
night before as he walked firmly
homeward. recalling the tragedy of the
past. Now in the cold light of day
the past seemed far away and unreal.
The present was near. pressing, vital.

He did not confer with the Rev. John
