But when he came to Periwinkle house, he gave no sign to Nadine that he had overheard —only talked of Monsieur Boyce and the fine dresses he would buy for her ‘when she was his wife. - It was long past noan when Drace reached the river. ‘The General had gone over into an- other parish to attend a stock sale. Tycle said;-and when she had looked at Drace more clasely, at his torn clothes, his muddy: shoes, she sighed and sat down beside him where on the rustic bench he bad dropped to rest before going to his room. “Virgil,” she sald,’ “there is some- thing troubling you.

Now, why won't'you?’ “I shall tell you. but I must put yow on your honor. I said that you have seen her. You have; you spoke of her. Nadine—" “Oh, Virgll! I3ut her father!" “Yes, I know.

About ten o'clock next day, while the family sat in the shade, up to the gate drew a resplendent carriage, drawn by two black horses and driv- en by a negro In livery. Out stepped a man as tall as Lincoln and wearing a hat as high as his. His raiment flashed 1ike the varnish of his equipage. Drace recegnized him as he came through the gate, taking off his gloves, and the General cried out: i “Tycle, I wish I may die dead if it 1sn't Liberty Shottle!” “Colong} Shottle, at your service,” repliéd - Liherty, ibowing and gesturing ywith-hig-gloves in his hand. “Well," Liberty " cried his aunt, giv- ing him a hug of ;welcome.

After a day of hope with its throat cut from ear to ear, I got on a boat bound for Havana. The Spanish captain gave me passage for service. He was studying English, and I agreed to explain to him certain niceties of our mother tongue, you un- derstand ; and I am sure that, reaching port, he knew more about gambliny terms than he could have picked up in a yeur of close study in one of our or- dinary schools. He was appreciative. generous, and gave me a bonus of five dollars.

I bought a ticket in the Havana lottery. ‘Wait, now, Nothing ever happens until it does, you know. The drawing came off two days later, and my number, 856,792, won the first prize, twenty thousand in gold.” Tycle hugged him; Drace shook his hand; and the General exclaimed his ustonishment. “Well, that beats anything I ever heard in my life.
