l was of a great curiosity at the anN-
iety in her face about the movements
of my capitaine, the Count de Las
selles.
He told me only that he would
go to the grain fields of English
Canada, madam" l answered her by
guardedIy telling her no more than
my words upon that train had re-
vealed to her.
IF he writes to you you must tell
me about it," she said, with great
friendliness. II am interested in
everything that happens to him"
II will do that, with thanks for
your interest" 1 answered to her,
with an air of great devotion. And
behold, is it not the Twin Oaks OF
asked as l stopped in front of that
fine old home that was now mine.
Come on down the street to my
home and I'll give you a cup of tea,
she invited me with very evident de-
sire for my company for more ques-
tioning.
u give many thinks, but that is
not possible to me, as l must write
notes to my Pierre and old Nannette
for the evening railroad. 1 bid you
good day, beautiful madam" And
again bent over her hand in a salu-
tation of departure.
Then I'll see you again soon. she
said and smiled at me as | stood,
with my hat in my hand, as she went

"Vive la France and Harpeth
America" 1 said to myself, as l as
cended the steps, was admitted by
the Bonbon and conducted up the
stairway to my apartments by good
Kizzie, whom l met in the wide hall.
And there ensued an hour of the
greatest interest to me, as the very
good old slave woman led me from
one of the rooms in the large house
TO another, with many stories OF
great interest At last we came to
that room in which had been de-
posted my bags and my other equip

made a very long pause.
This is your Grandma Carruthers
room, the generals grandma, and
she was the high-headedest lady OF
the whole family. That am her por-
trait over the mantelshelf. You is
lest like her as two peas in the pod,
and I reckin I'll have to take a stick
to you like did to yo' father when
he was most growed up and stole all

July for Christmas" she said, with
wide smile of great affection upon
her very large mouth.
Il beg that you put under a key
that cake, beloved Madam Kizzie, l
made answer to her, with also a
laugh.
Never was no key to nothing in
this house, chile" she answered to
me. II lowed to the gener'l that he
oughter git a lock and key fer this
here flowered silk dress in the glass
case on the wall dat de ole mis- wore

in the house that she-lands alive! Am

to the company of the beautiful
