L] 020000090000 00006200000000 | On one of the side streets near the center of town there is a curious old | gray house It stands far back N\ | from the street e | and looks for all the world like a sour old man who severely disap- proves of his new- er and more “flighty” neigh- bors. Its fence has long since fallen into decay and is held up here and there by a groan- ing post or a creaking wire. On the rickety old porch hangs a neat new shingle, bearing in bold black letters the following: *“I don't want no niggers hangin’ round here and I don’t want nothing to do with niggers nohow.” It is signed “Caroline Lee.” Now, to a person born with almost as much curiosity as a cat, such a sign is like a red rag to a bull. How- ever, for a long time, in spite of all I could do, I never had a glimpse of the occupant, though I often heard a somewhat cracked yet unmistakably darky voice singing “At the cross, At the cross.” Then finally, one happy wiry, black as the ace of spades, clad in calico skirt and bright red sweater, and wielding an ax with all the vigor of a farm hand. Of course I was over- joyed at seeing her, but I was still a long way from knowing what the sign meant. | thought of every way to be- come friende with her, but none seemed to suit, until finally 1 had a happy thought—her dog. When I meet a cat she always gives me one look and immediately remem- bers urgent business elsewhere, But every dog seems to recognize in me a boon companion, 8o from that time on my path was clear. Every day as I went by I'd have a visit with the dog, while his mistress pecked surrepti- tiously from behind the curtains. At last I was rewarded by a smile and a tentative “Mawnin’.” And such a smile! It was for all the world like the sun breaking through a fog. In this way matters went until I came ! the first ones of th that have appeared so iur—does de- | pend from a broad bit of ribbon which , neck. | the neck over pretty blouses. to know her better, and finally one day I took my fate in my hands and asked her to explain the sign. 1 had been afraid she would take my request as an offense, but instead she smiled broadly and invited me to “set down on the porch step.” Needless to say. I was only too willing to “set.” “You see,” she said, “it's neah eight- een yeahs since my ole man died down in Nashville and lef' me with six chil- len and nothin’ to keep me on. But lawd, Ah didn't care; 'pears like Ah knowed ev’yone in Nashville, so Ah Jes’ whirled in an’ went to work. Ah raised ev'y one of them chillen, and when they got married they jes’ picked up one after nuther and lef me, Well, Ah didn't min’ that, but looks like ev'y time any one of them chillen or their husban's got out o work—and that's mighty neah all the time—they come to stay with me. Ah stood that for a long time, and then Ah got kinda tired, so jes' went to Missus White, that Ah worked fo’, and tole her Ah'd made up my mind to light out woman, Miss White wuz, and she tole me she was a-comin' out heah, and would bring me ’long, She didn't half p i ‘ ains-taking care e service Of | owavew think Ah'd come, but 'pears like Ah'd (bains-taking care to th Lt — got kinda desp'rit, so Ah come, and the only thing Ah brung wuz mah lit- tle ole grip and mah dawg “Well, Ah got along fine heah, too; you see, Miss' White knowed lots o' people roun’ heah, and Ah had all the work Ah could do. “But lawd, Ah hadn’t been heah more'n two months when them pesky chillen o' mine comes pilin’ in on me llke the wrath o' God. Seems like they'd been writin’ to some fool nig- gah heah, and they just got it into their haids to come. They didn’t have no money, so Ah had to let em stay till they got work. An’ finally it was jes’ as bad as ever; got 8o Ah couldn't keep enough to eat in the house to feed mah dawg, let alone me. Ah didn't know what to do for a while, and then one day Ah got to thinkin’, and went down to the sign man and had him paint me that air sign, Them fool niggahs done took the hint, too; an’ Ah hain’'t never see'd hide nor hair uf 'em since.” “But don't you get lonesome for them sometimes?” I asked. “Lawd, honey, if you'd been both- ered with them like Ah have, you wouldn’t think Ah'd evah git lone- some; sldes,” she added, with a twinkle in her eye, “they's enough white folks comes in heah to ask me about that sign to keep me from evah gittin’ lonesome.” Franco-British Entente.
