A bright-eyed young girl who sat at
the left Of the mistress leaned over
and said in a confidential undertone :
II wonder, mamma, If that tramp we
passed on the road found my stocking.
And do you think he will hang it up
tonight"
The words Of the young girl were
interrupted by a startling thing.
Like the wrath of some burned-out
shooting star, a black streak came
crashing through the windowpane and
upon the table, where 1t shivered into
fragments q dozen pieces Of crystal
and china ware. ~
The woman screamed in many keys,
and the men sprang to their feet.
The planter was The first to act. He
sprang to the intruding missile and
held it up to view. 'It's loaded" he
announced.
AS he spoke he reversed long, black
stocking, holding 1t by the toe, and
down from 1t dropped roundish stone
wrapped about by piece Of yellowish
paper. snow for the first interstellar

nodding to the company. who had
crowded about him, he adjusted his
glasses with provoking deliberation
ard examined 1t closely. When he
finished he had changed from the jolly
host to the practical, decisive man of
business. He Immediately struck O
bell and said to the silent-footed mu-
latto man who responded: "Go and tell
Mr.. Wesley to get Reeves and Maurice
and about ten stout hands they can
rely upon and come to the hall door
at once. Tell him to have the men
arm themselves and bring plenty Of
ropes and plow lines. Tell him to

Dinner, two hours late, was being
served in the Bellemeade plantation
dining room.
The talk Of the diners was too desul-
tory, too evanescent to follow, but at
last they came to the subject Of the
tramp nuisance, one that had Of late
vexed the plantations for many miles
around. The planter seized the occa-
sion to direct his good-natured fire of
raillery at the mistress, accusing her
Of encouraging the plague.
II don't believe they are all bad"
she said. "We passed one this evening
as we were driving home who had a
face as good as it was incompetent.
He was whistling the intermezzo from

aside and spake with him lowly and
mysterfously. He nodded decisively
and then said aloud to Whistling Dick
"Listen, sonny, to some plain talky
talk. We five are on lay. I've guar
anteed you to be square and you're to

boys, and you've got to help. Two hun
