"By the way," the General said pres­ ently. "I have an engngéinent to de­ liver an address before a tenchers' meeting tn Natchex, arid I should much like to have you bear me cumpany. We can leave this evening on the Black Hawk and reach there early In the morning." “I'd like very much to go," answered Drace. “But can we get hack before Thursday?" “Easily by Wednesday morning.

The Black Hawk'« band played a welcome, and tbe captain came down the plank to conduct the General on board. From a quiet, lazy and almost deserted landing the place leaded Into the full throb of life. Negroes and shiftless whites came from their hovels to gaze upon the magic splendor of this journeying palace, and the three- ■hell man stepped ashore to gather up dollars. Dinner was a state occasion, and after IL the ball. Then their state­ room»—then morning, and Natchez. The address was to be delivered In the afternoon, and when tbe time came the General led him over to the hall to hear the speech. Imprisoned him wltlr out ball In a corner and there he had to ait. The address was long, academic and dull, and tbe sufferer mused: "I don't see why Shottie ever called you a remarkable character.” Everybody came about tbe General to take hla hand. Young women told him that they had never been so thrilled. Drsre lied to him, too. swore him an orator. “Let us walk off alone," said th« General. » Slowly they walked at first, but after a time the old gentleman struck a brisker pace, toward the River. "Now, my boy. aa we've got through with those beaters of dust out of old carpets, we’ll have some fun.

Built of logs, bricks, stone and clapboards, tt looked like an architectural stagger, trying to climb the hill. In the main room was the bar. Herein Tobe gave his famous 'possum feasts and dances, when the spirit of liquor mounted high enough to swing Its partner off the ground. "Well, Til be knocked In the head for a steer!” old Tobe cried out, stump­ ing toward the General. "I haven't seed you since the River tuck fire. Well, well! Thlnktn' about you the other day. . . . Glad to shake your hand. Mr. Drace. Set right down." “Tobe, I’m glad to see you." said the General. “And fetch us about two quarts of that summer-grape wine. Let me tell you about It, Drace.
