He adds that he is considering

CHAPTER I.

Louise was leaning back among the
cushions of the motionless car. The
moon had not yet risen, but faint and
luminous glow, spreading like halo
about the topmost peak Of the ragged
line Of hills, heralded its approach
s1er eyes swept the hillsides, vainly
yet without curiosity, for any sign OF
human dwelling. Her chauffeur and
her maid stood talking heatedly to-
Rether near the radiator.
Louise leaned forward and called to
the chauffeur.

| Louise, with heavy, Sllver-plateQ
candlestick in her hand, stood upon the
uneven floor Of the bedroom to which
she had been conducted, looking up at
the oak-framed family tree which hung
above the broad chimney-piece. She
examined the coat Of arms emblazoned
in the corner, and peered curiously at
the last neatly printed addition, which
indicated Stephen and John Strange
wey as the sole survivors of dimin-
fishing line. When at last she turned
lips.
"Strangeweyp she murmured. John
Strangewey! 1t Is really curious how
that name brings with it sense Of
familiarity. 1t is so unusual, too. And
what an unusual-looking person! Do
you think, Aline, that you ever saw
anyone so superbly handsome?"
The maids little grimace was ex-
pressive.
"Never, madam" she replied. sand
yet to think of it-a gentleman, per
son Of intelligence, who lives here al
ways, outside the world, with just a
terrible old man servant, the only do
nestle in the house! Nearly all the
cooking is done at the bailiff's, quar-
ter Of mile away"
Louise nodded thoughtfully.
1T is very strange" she admitted.
II should like to understand 1t. Per-
haps," she added, half to herself, "some
day SHALL"
She passed across the room, and on
her way paused before an old cheval-
glass, before which were suspended
two silver candlesticks containing
lighted wax candles. She looked stead
tasty at her own reflection. A little
smile parted her lips. In ts.e bedroom
Of this quaint farmhouse she was look
ing upon face and figure which the
illustrated papers and the enterprise
of the modern photographer had COM
bined to make familiar to the world
the figure of girl, it seemed, notwith-
standing her twenty-Seven years. Her
soft, white blouse was open at the
neck, displaying a beautifully rounded
throat. Her eyes dwelt upon the oval
face, with its strong, yet mobile fea-
lures; its lips little full, perhaps, but
soft and sensitive; at the masses of
brown hair drawn low over her ears.
This was herself, then. How would
she seem to these two men downstairs,
she asked herself-the dour, grim mas
ter Of the house, and her more youthful
rescuer, whose coming had somehow
touched her fancy? They saw so little
Of her sex. They seemed, in sense, to
be in league against 1t. Would they
find out that they were entertaining
an angel unawares?
She thought with gratified smile
of her fncognito. It was real trial

US who inherit the family spirit look
askance upon all strange women. That
is why no woman is ever welcome with

Louise resumed her seat in the easy
chair.
II am so sorry" she murmured,
looking down at her slipper. II could
not help breaking down here, could I?''
"Nor could my brother fail to offer
you the hospitality Of this roof" Ste
phen admitted. .sThe incident was un-
fortunate but inevitable. 1t is mat
ter for regret that we have so little to
offer you in the way Of entertainment"
He rose to his feet. The door had
opened. Jennings was standing there
with candlestick upon massive sill

journey, madam" Stephen concluded.

LAST RECRUITS OF SLAVERY
Remnants of Cargo Brought to Amer
lea In 1859 Make Up Interesting
Colony Near Mobile.

Perhaps the most interesting colony
Of negroes in America today is. to be
found in Alabama, about three miles
from the heart of Mobile. Here in q
little town called Plateau lives group
of nine weather-beaten, grizzled old
men and women, the remnant Of the
last cargo Of slaves brought to Ameri-
can soil, from the coast Of Africa, says
the Southern Workman. The youngest
is entering on his sixty-sixth year; the
oldest is not less than one hundred and
ten; while just few years ago one of
their number died who had seen more
than one hundred and forty years.
They were brought to America in the
summer of 1859. In 1865 their enamel
patton came. For the next few years
they were buffeted about by changing
fortunes without any settled home.
One among them, wiser than the
rest, saw the dangers Of their unset
tied condition. Not owning their homes
they could be turned out at any time,
and, hiring themselves to strange mas
tiers in search Of laborers, they might
some day be carried off again into
slavery, perhaps to Cuba or Porto Rico,
for they learned that slavery still ex-
listed there. With such incentive be-
hind them they selected tract of
land just outside Mobile, on Three
Mile creek, and began the purchase Of
homes.
AS one goes over and about Pla-
teau, he is struck with the appropri-
ateness Of the setting in which this
African colony is to be found. About
one-half the town is owned by negroes.
and of the property occupied by them
at least rs per cent is owned by their
own people. The largest single hold
ing of land among them is between so
and 60 acres. Another negro land
lord owns and rents about 20 houses.
There are nine stores. of which seven
are owned and operated by colored
men. The largest of them all Is one
Of these seven and represents a vol
uuss Of business amounting to more
than $11, 900 annually
