THE TWINS. “Dem chillun,” said Aunt Beeny, “minds me ob de twins. Ony dere nebber was as han’some boys as de twins, cert’nly; and dese is homely.” Aunt Beeny is an old colored wo- man who is dozing out her few re- maining days in an old cabin in Ac- comac county, Va. Her wool is white as cotton and there are countless wrinkles on her small yellow face. But her little figure is erect as when she was a girl of 16. She sits all day in her chair at the door in the sun, looking at the sea, and the deserted fields, and the de- serted quarters which once were fill- ed with her brothers, children and kinsfolk. She alone is left. But the strangers who now own the the old plantation are kind to her. It is not hard to persuade her to | talk of “the twins.” Every child she rees remindsherofthem. They are childhood itself in Beeny’s mind. “Dah was jes’ two of °em—Marse John an’ Marse Charles. Mis’ Jen- ny nebber had but dem two chillun- I was her maid when she got mah- yed. Sowhen de twins come she say Sukey an’ Prue dey kin take care ob de chillun, but Beeny has de rule ober dem all. She speaks de wohd ob de law. “J tell you dey war lively, dem four—Sukey, Prue an’ dem chillun! Marse Charles he war de fo’most— allays cryin’ or laughin’ or makin’ hisself conspic’us. He had big blue eyes 'n curly hair. Marse John war dark an’ quiet. You nebber knowed | earth: dat chile war thinkin’. But you could read his brudder’s heart like a book. “So's dey growed up, some ob de folks liked de quiet one an’ some de noisy one. But t’were cert’nly won- derful how dey stuck togedder— *mirm’ each oder an’ proud ob each oder. Luster say to Mis’ Jenny, ‘When one ob my twins dies de od- er ‘I! foller him sho! “Well, soit went on. Dey went to school up to Charlottesville, an’ dey brung lots ob oder young ladies an’ genel’s fo’ vacation, an’ it war huntin’ an’ dancin’ an’ fun ob all | kyinds. But I obsuhv'd dem boys were the mos’ intimate frien’s ob all- Not eben de gyurls dey war co’tin come ‘tween dem. “Same way when de old marse died. He lef’ de proputty fo’ de boys to divide as dey choosean’ bofe to care foh Mis’ Jenny, dere mud- der. Den it war: “You take de Oak fahm, John.’ “No, you take dat ’ar, Charles.’ “You shill have de horses an’ | hounds.’ “Do yout’ink I’m a hound my- self! De hosses am yours.’ “An’ when it come to de old homestead, which bofe of em lubbed each tried to give it up to the other wid he’s heart in he’s froat. At las’ it war settled dat bofe boys lib in de homestead an’ hab a sheer in de mudder in all de home. “n’ we'll bring our wives home, | too!’ John said laughin’. “Dey shook han’s an’ de tears war in dere eyes. “So it wen on happy an’ peaceful, fo’ two year. “Den came de wah, what tore dis ole country into pieces an’ brung all de bloodshed. We saw de big boats goin’ down Chesapeake bay, an’ heerd de thunder of de firin’. Some nights me an’ Mis’ Jenny, too skeert to go to bed, set up cryin’ an’ keep- in’ watch. “But one night, de wust ob all she comes in from the gyarden, ; white an’ tremblin’. | _ “Beeny,” she whispered, “de boys dey have quarreled! John done lef’ de house an’ gone norf!’ “Den I called loud on God to help us. But it as if He had no ears for Beeny dat night, nor nuffin on “Marse Charles he side wid he’s state and Marse John wid de norf, n’ dey prrted after hot words vow- in’ nebber to speak to each oder agen. Dem twin chillen as war nursed at the same breast. | “Well, de cruel wah drag along. Mis’ Jenny she fell wid de poverty an) de terror, an’ mo’ ‘n all wid cry- in’ fo’ her two boys. Fo’ one war fightin’ under . and one under Hancock. But dey nebber met in fightin’ —thank God fo’ dat. So one day she say to me: ‘Beeny I'm tired!

But I obsuliv’d } at nights he'd set lookin’ at it long} time, widout a wo'd. “So time went on. An’ one summer dey come awisperin’ ‘round de ty wu dat de yaller feber war about. “An’ fo’ I knowed, Marse Charles, war on de committee takin’ keer ob de sick an’ de pore, riskin’ his life every day.

God bless dem! Dey is our brudders after all!’ “But he nebber went out to meet dem. He kep’ his bed dat day an’ de next an’ den de feber showed it- self. So one ob de committee come an’ say he send a norfern doctor. Dey wa'n’t no oder lef’ alive. "N’ in afew minutes I hear a step on de hall. ’N’ I got up an’ said: “Thanks be to God Almighty!

But when I went in dere war de ole light in der eyes. ‘N’ it war ‘Jack’ an’ ‘Chawley, an’ I knew dere hearts war come togedder. “But it war too late. Marse Charies died next day in his brud- der’s arms. “And John?” The old woman swallowed a sob, “He worked amoug dem dyin’ folks a week ionger an’ den—Well, Inursed bim. If you look in de shadiest corner in de ole graveyard» you'll fin’ two graves side by side. De twins is lyin’ dar peaceful, as when dey was little chillun.
