Little Doubt About Uncle Jeff's opln.
Ion Of Coming Marriage of His
Young Master.

servant, Uncle JEFF, who had cared
for him as child and who was very
devoted to him. The young man be-
came engaged TO a neighboring beau

temper. Noticing that Uncle Jeff
never mentioned his approaching mar
riage. the young planter said one day;
