'Whatl Why, you durn-"
But then he laughed
Shiny hat no good?"
Seffy said no.
"Nor the diamond, nor the hair
grease, nor Messing? Oh-gosh-a'migh-
tyl Gee-wo-way!"
But before they met again, his gaiety
had given way to an immense dlsap-
pOintment. The tragedy of the stitua-
ton had prevailed with him, too.
Seffy sullenly kicked a clod to pieces.
His father looked off toward the coveted
pasture and sighed. 1t 10Gs a superb
piece of land. And it had never looked
the sun of the morning. A few
thick-girthed, wholesome oak-treesP Hnet-
uated it. A stream laughed through
it. Goodly cows stood chewing in the
water and swishing amiably at the
flies. The fences were intact. 1t
would have been a delight to the eyes
of any farmer on earth. The old man
sat on the handles of his pillow until it
all got in his head once more.
ITS a nice field, Sef-Seffy," he
sighed. 81 meier seen no such clofer.
And she's nice gal. l meier seen no
such gal, bose nice. Oach! they belong
together Well, gee-wo-way! They
belong to UsP''
They always stopped for word
when they met. The next time the
old man said, quite ,caressingly:
He patted one plow-handle, which
Seffy took, while he took the other.
He thoughtfully ,pulledothe boys shirt
into place
"Sef," he said, "ten me about it.
Pm sorry 1 laughedi But I lofe that
pasture and you lofe Sally Let's not
be fools, but git 'em. I expect you feel
a little. bad But mebby. you'll feel
better if you talk about 1t. That Is
the way wiss me, l know; when any
sing occurs I like to babble about it
and go and do it again better" He let
his hand rest kindly on Seffy's shoulder.
To this his son responded.
Il fell asleep said Seffy, shifting
omlnously.
"Of course" said his father, with a
comforting movement of his hand.
That's right"
Seffy was amazed-and comfOrted.
ErEyas-you do snore, SET. Fiery
body does It's the Lords fault, l

lin nice cheer"
"Yas-you oughtn't "a set in no
nice cheer, Sef; somesing uneasy is
"Didn't wake up till daylight"
"Where was you then, Sef?''
"In the heer-SaI-Saliy's cheer"
The words stuck pitifully IN his
throat.
"Yas-" said the old man, looking
away, 81 don't blame you, Sef."
1T was a pasteboard thing-hke
a tombstone-pinned on my bosom
"Vatl" cried his father-the "w"
would become "v" in cases of sudden
emotion.
"Pasteboard- tombstonel'' Seffy's
head dropped in shame. with things

His father stifled a laugh. 1t was an
old trick to him.
What-what did you do then?"
he asked IN. as matter-of-fact q voice
as he could command.
'.Sneaked home. 1t was daylight"
Gone not, but forgot-read back

He couldn't quite make it out
That was new. Seffy helped him.

make no fool off of me- Go on, I'll set
here and-and-enjoy myself"
This was the direct rustic challenge,
with aplomb! Sam might choose his
weaponsl It made no oddsI And Sally
had to take it up for Seffy. This she
Loyalty did.
Unfortunately, when Sally went to
the organ Seffy was at her back and
IN the shadow-the lamp had to be
moved-and in. that sleepys-holly chair.
But she had all possible confidence In
him-and, alasI he had in himself.
For a while he feasted his eyes upon
the exquisite back she had turned to
hin-and then, with thrill of pos
session, inventoried the hair he had
kissed-a little disordered-the lips
the waist he had embraced-how glor-
ious that wasl 1t seemed almost i'm
possible now that he had done it.
And the hands-what? He was lost
for a moment. Then he was blowing
opposite his father. The voice which
had said so sweetly was it exactly
it had said?-what?- was nearing
the line stake-still plowing.,he could
hear the voice quite distinctly-many
of them-a choir-"I want to be an
angel" Sally seemed mistily there
but he was still blowing he stop
ped-mOre and more mist-Seffy slept.
Sam stopped his tenor that Sally
might hear him sleep.
He said he couldn't sing bass!"
grinned Sam.
Saly's hand flew to her heart. She
had been triling, if not with the art,
yet with the feeling, of a lark. It was
simply the Joy with which Seffy had
filled her-only Joy, vast and free.
The red famed in her cheeks at what
she saw. I shall not describe it. No
lover was ever more abiect-no lady
was ever more furiousl We see the
comedy of it only. We would not have
been hurt, eh? But We. did not live
then nor there nor under Sally curious
small conditions with Sally's tenn
per. Curiously enough, this Scripture
came to SaTy's mind:
Could ye- not a0otch NTH me one
hOtrP
You know what strange and mop
perfume things come into the distressed
unguarded mind.
Sally rose with dignity which
even Sam had not suspected. and
said:

dead was q noted educator and
married a Prof in one of the
Western Colleges, one son is a
United States Marshall and the
other was a Congressman when
barely of legal age and now
holds a seat in the Senate of the
United States and is the friend
and confident of no less distin-
guished a parsonage than Wood
row Wilson, that master mind.
now dominating the policies of
all the governments of the earth.
When Mrs. James was in
Washington only a short time
ago, comparatively, President
Wilson gave her with his own
hands a boquet of exquisite roses
and gave orders that flowers
from the White House gardens
should be sent each day to adorn
the apartments occupied in the
nations capital by this old fash
ioned mother from Old Ken
lucky, whom he admired for her
pain unassuming manner.
And yet she was so re-
fired ard retiring by nature that
no boast ever escaped her lips Of
all the honors shown her, and
had not others told it, it would
never have been known here.
Mrs. James was of a domestic
turn and delighted in her
husband her children and grand
children, her garden, her house
hold duties, her chickens and her
cows, and no doubt her life was
prolonged by her activities in
these affairs of the home. She
was before her marriage Miss
Bradley of Coffee County Ten
nessee and came here during the
civil war, she was married to
Lemuel H. James April 25th.,
1862 he having been a native of
Smith County Tennessee and to
this union was born 8 children,
a of whom are dead. They be-
ing two daughters Miss Ada,
Mrs. Flora Ford, and two sons,
Rodney Frances and VIM. Henry.
She deceased was in her 74th.,
year and spent over a half GEN.
tury of that in the service of the
master, she having been a con-
sistent member of the Methodist
Church for IS years.
The is survived by 5 grand
children, they being Miss Ada
Ford of Toledo, Ohio, Lemuel J.
Ford of Cleveland, Ohio, Misses
Lemah and Virginia James and
Master Ollie M. James, Jr., Of
Louisville. Other than her i'm
mediate family she has no near
relatives living, excepting one
niece, formerly Miss Sallie Mar
tin now Mrs. S. E. Walker of
Birmingham, Ala.
The deceased was a charter
member of the Ladies Aid
Society and her death leaves
only a few of those who were
with her when that great society
made its humble beginning; those
left whom we now recall being
Mrs. Jane Walker and Mrs.
Victoria Deboe of this city and
Mrs. Kitty Hodge of Princeton.
Expressions of sympathy to
the family came in messages from
all parts of the United States.
Among the first of many mes
sages sent from Washington was
the following:
! Hon. Ollie M. James: Mrs.
Wilson and / extend to you our
profound sympathy in your sor-
SOW. God grant you comfort and
solace.
