He condensed his conversation
with Dr. Foxham into brier com

centrated my -memory, and . was
able to write them down exactly
when I had bidden Alfred good-by

would be in. her own room getting
her uniforms. and other clothing
ready for Mrs. Ticer's laundering.

"That was what he said," I ans
wered. "Will you take a look at
this thing?" I held out my draft
of the-telegram, "I have quoted
Alfred exactly, but I want to have
your trained mind pass Judgment

he could use 'the whip. Without
a word the mule-driver drew the

swung it over his head, and flick
ed ' a: beautiful butterfly from a
clover blossom alongside the road
over which they were traveling.
That isn't so bad," remarked
tho planter. "Can you hit that
honeybee over there?"
Again the negro swung the whip
and the 'honeybee fell dead.
Noting a pair of bumblebees on
still another blossom, the negro
switched them out ot .existence
with the cracker of his new black
snake, and drew further admira
