Chapter Two GRANDMOTHER KJO LITTLE boy that ever lived ' loved his grarul mother better than James loved his Grandmother StimaoD. Old Sarah was such a pretty daln ty old lady that no one could help loving her. Sarah, her daughter, had much of the Governor's dignity, but she never could comparo to her mother Id looks. The older Sarah's cheeks were as soft and kindly as her voice, and her eyes, even when she was close to Beventy, remained as clearly blue as the first violets James used to gatb er for her each April on the river banks below the Mansion. Never In all his life did James hear ber speak to blm hastily or harshly or to any one else for that matter and some bow she always understood him a thousand times better than anyone llse did. The others loved him Just as truly. L i I SSZiSOSUi James was a big boy before but Grandmother understood the working of his young fin--' :iml mind In a truly marvelous ' Grandmother, Ilk" .ulior. was an almost lnexh:: . - mine of stories. But while Cn::: author told of the big things, told of stirring epoch making clrcummnnces and events, Grandmother, tilled In tho lap by telling of the llttlo things. With his grandmother's help tho past of the fifties and early sixties became more real to little James than the eighties and nlnotlos of his boyhood. As a result, Jamos III. his Whole life long, was to keep his roots fresh and green In the rich loam of bis grandparents' past. James and Sarah Stlmson's first borne was a small brick cottage, till standing on North Second Btreet, just a block from tho wharf It which tho struggling town began From hor kitchen window Sarah had been able to watcb the bl-weekly steamers, loading and unlondlng their freight to the haunting musi cal cbantB of the darkuy rousta bouts, and taking on or putting off a motley collection of passengers whllos and blacks and Indians. N OW the Stlmsons lived at the ex- town In a long, rather narrow house the first James had built at the top of the river bluff In 1871. Lntor tho stream of fashion turned to the North, but the Btlnmons stayed on For many years the Mansion, ns It was callo.l. remained tho show placo of Now Concord nnd visitors In the town were driven out and shown Its stately extorter and spa clous grounds and, In nine canes out of ten, entertained within Its hits pltnhle walls.

So James was a big boy and going to school before he found out that he was an orphan. Harold Meyers, the butcher's son. threw this up to him as somehow disgraceful and sent him home cry ing as If his heart would break. His grandmother and aunt bad gone that afternoon to Mrs. Jackson Crowell's kenslnglon. so It was Aunt Lou who comforted him. by assuring him vehemently that he did have a mama and a papa, the very grandest mama and papa that ever had been borned and no common trash like no Meyerses. Indeed, his mama and papa had been so very high-toned that the Lord God on High had Him self sent for them to come and live with Him. close to His golden throne. "Are they sitting on golden chairs?" James asked. "Setting on golden chairs and sleeping In golden beds with silken and velvet pillows and eating era brostal food off en golden plates stuck solid with emeralds and dta monds." "iTfHAT'S emhroslal food, Auntl 'V Lou?" "You're the pestcrlnst child. It'i whut the Lord God on H'sb and tht angels cats. You ain't supposing tha he knew he was an orphan. whut you and 1 eats Is fltten for ttu Lord God on High and Hie Angels?' "Maybe," cried James happily "maybe it's like caramel Icq cream with niarahmallows In It." Aunt Lou agreed that ft might be something like cnrmnel Ice cream uml marshmnllows, only a million thousand times bettor. James gavo a heartfelt sigh. "I wonder," he said wistfully, "whether my mama and papa wouldn't like tc have me come and live with them! 1 should think they might got lone so mo sometimes for their little boy." Aunt Lou had come with Molly Ewlng from Kentucky. Now she wai Ironing James' little frilled shlrti and a tear fell with a sizzle on the hot Iron. "I reckon they do gut lonesome, honoy," Aunt Lou sighed. "I shouldn't wonder but whut youi mama cries hor eyes out time and ngln when tho Lord God has Ilia back turned. A corao ahe wouldn't lot Hlm catch hor anyhows but smil ing after nil Ho done for her. It twotildn't be manners." "Why wouldn't It be manners, Auntlo Lou?" "Well, dearie, when tho Lord God sent for your mnma to come and live with Him In Him von she weren't hardly inoro'n a girl nnd so wrapped up In your papa she thought the sun rone and sot In him.
