tabie in a iarge down town cate, tWo men and one woman. ers, The fair man was a southerner. “Women as a rule,” the woman re- marked, “seem to think it attractive to appear as incompetent as possible, espe- cially when they are out with men. Ata lunch counter yesterday I beard a wo- man say, “Thank you very much,’ to a bullying waitér who threw a charlotte
russe on the counter before her. There
wasn't a twinge of sarcasm about her. |
She looked grateful after waiting 15 min- utes. “Thank you very much,’ ” mimick- ed the woman.
The southerner laughed. “I thought this wasn't an age in which women were accused of lack of independence.”
“They're pretty bad,” replied the wo- man decidedly, “but what they must have been in your part of the country when they married at 16 and were treat- ed like hothouse flowers is beyond imagi- nation. Even now southern men are full of sentiment, aren't they? ey’ ll work like dogs to keep a woman from earning her living. Why are you anxious to make us dependent creatures?”
“Shall | tell what one of these ‘hot- house’ flowers did in a case of life and death and property?” asked the fair man, smiling. “She was the wife of my uncle. He married her before she was 20, but she was a bold hothouse flower. Her husband died at the close of the war, and she ran his plantation herself. This was in Louisiana. The plantation house was near Bayou Sara creek, in a thinly set- thed part of the country. In busy times she was afield by 6 o’clock. All the work- men were former slaves. Her husband had been popular with them; he was an easy man. Whenever they had lacked a half holiday or their rations had been eurtailed, ‘This is some of Miss Anna’s doin’s, yo’ kin be bound,’ was the com- ment passed. She never sought to be a popular mistress.
“In the house with her slept her two children and a great, masculine, beauti- ful mulatto woman hamed Victorine, who had been Aunt Anna’s maid since her marriage. She adored Aunt Anna, but they were both vioient spirits, and my mother says she has heard them fill the house with their quarreling, like two fishmongers’ wives. My aunt had gener- aled the raising of three rice crops on the plantation when it began to be whispered that the Louisiana ex-slaves were just awakening to the indignity of their for- mer state and were planning to revenge themselves for that period by killing the planters in Bayou Sara parish, taking possession of their property and installing themselves masters of the soil. This Aunt Anna heard with constitutional indiffer- ence to ‘niggers’ whims.’ Some of her neighbors advised her, but neither she nor Victorine ftlinched.
“One afternoon Aunt Anna’s house- bold—that is, herself, Victorine and the children—drove ten miles to make a call. It was dark when they started home, and Pompey, the coachman, stood up to wrap his blanket about his knees, saying posi- tively:
“*Best go home by de high road ’cross de bridge, Miss Anna. "Tis shorter fur de horses.’
“This was sufficient to make Aunt An- na reply obstinately:
**We'll go by the lower road. It’s safer on a dark night.’
“*’Tis powerful hard on de horses,’ ventured Pompey. Aunt Anna, deigning no further remark, made a sign to Victo- rine, and that peremptory person, settling herself in the seat opposite Aunt Anna, with little Caroline in her arms, caution- ed him to ‘shut up and drive on.’ Pompey turned and gave Wictorine’s back such a look as caused Aunt Anna to cry out sharply:
* *Pompey Y
“My aunt’s willfulness saved their lives, for by this time the plantation dar- kies had loosened the railing that guard- ed the bridge and were waiting to assist Pompey to drive the carriage over the edge.
“Half a mile away from these opera- tions Aunt Arna’s carriage passed at about midnight, Victorine on the front seat with Caroline curled up in her arms and Aunt Anna on the back with Eliza- beth’s bead in her lap, talking and quar- reling as they went. Arrived at the house, Pompey’s wife screamed when she saw the carriage and stood on the kitchen steps saying:
“ *Bless de Lord!’
“ ‘Why are you not in bed, Chloe?’
“Chloe trembled and cried.
“ ‘I’ze staid up to see my old man.’
“Aunt Anna looked at Chloe and at Pompey. She remembered his daring look at Victorine, and she watched Chloe kiss the sleeping Caroline, whom she took in her arms.
“*Pompey,’ she said, ‘put up the horses avd come into the kitchen. Chloe’ll give you something to eat. Chloe, open a box of sardines for Pompey.’ Pompey was very fond of sardines.
“Later, when Aunt Anna went into the kitchen, Pompey was sitting at the kitch- en table in his driving cloak, his shoul- ders hunched over his plate. Chloe stood away from him sullenly. Aunt Anna went to the sink under pretext of getting a drink of water and, with her back turn- ed to both of them, remarked:
“*] hear there’s an uprising of some
sort planned among the darkies. Mr. El- lison told me this afternoon that I should take precaution. He said, “You are the most unprotected woman in Louisiana.” I told him that for that very reason the
eye of every white man from Bayou Sara |
to New Orleans would be turned upon this plantation the moment trouble arose, and the darkies who harmed a lonely wo- man would receive terrible punishment. She drank her glass of water and turned around. She was very tall.

“The next morning Aunt Anna stnid in the kitchen a good deal. The plantation hands were at work, and Pompey had | ridden to Bayou Sara yillage for the | mail. Suddenly she turned to Chloe:
**Haven’t you something to say to me, Chloe?” Chloe dropped into a chair, her apron over her face.
‘’Fo de Lord, Miss Anna, ’fo dei Lord.’
‘**Are you going to kill me, Chloe”
“*Not me, Miss Anna, Gawd knows, | but Pompey’s that set to bring.it on.’
“ ‘He tried to last night somehow; will | he try tonight?’ Chloe stood against the | door and sobbed in a whisper:
*“‘*They’se goin to come up to de front do’ an ax fo’ yo’", an if yo’ come out) they’ll shoot yo’, an if yo’ don’t, then they’ll set fire to the house. They means to shoot Victorine an Miss Lizzie an Miss Carrie.’ Her lips turned white as she spoke the names of the children,
“*When, tonight?’
“*Tomorro’ night.’
“ ‘What are ghew waiting for?
**’Cause yo’ sent Henry Mose over to Rosale to sell de mule, an dey wants him wid dem.’
“ “Tomorrow night,’ repeated Aunt An- rma, and she went up stairs and told Vic torine.
“ “They'd better kill me when they’re killin the whites,’ said Victorine, ‘I’m none of them.’
“‘Chloe says they watch us, so we can’t inform anybody,’ said Aunt Anna. ‘If either of us made a move they would shoot us on the spot. We haven’t a re- liable pistol in the house.’ Aunt Anna looked out of the window. ‘What time does the moon rise, Victorine?

Chloe will’ help me.’ That night Culoe harnessed Aunt Anna’s horse.
“*Pompey’s drunk asleep wid some whisky he got in town. He don’ know wedder I’ze here or there,’ she explained. Aunt Anna rode the dark ten miles and hitched her horse near the Ellison house. When the door was opened, Aunt Anna, standing on the steps disguised in an old dress of Chloe’s and wearing a draggled sunboanet, told Mr. Ellison’s butler, whom she mistrusted. that Lucinda Cot- ton’s sister wanted to see him. Lucinda was a well known beggar.
**? don’ know yo’, but we knows Lau- cindy too well. De las’ time she come here she was drunk. Yo’ kin pack, yo’ po’ trash.’ Aunt Anna dropped her head an@ murmured, ‘Lucindy’s dead.’
“In dat event I'll notify de boss,’ said the darky, afraid to take too much re- sponsibility. When Mr. Ellison came and saw her raise her head, he suddenly reached back and shut the hall door. They stood in the dark and talked in whispers. Aunt Anna would not have the plot disturbed.
“If you'll get five men into my house secretly, we'll meet them,’ she said. ‘“To- morrow I’jl get Pompey out of the way by going to drive at noon, and at the same hour Chloe will take the dinner for the hands to the ginhouse. Slip in then, and Victorine will hide you. Walk; you can’t risk tethering horses about.’
“Mr. Ellison looked at my valiant aunt. ‘They may precipitate their plans. How can you trust yourself to drive with Pom- pey tomorrow?
“‘Lend me a pistol,’ replied Aunt Anna. He got her one, and she put it in her pocket. ‘They won’t change their plans. They’re afraid to face me in the light. Good night.’ He called aloud:
“*Good night, Mary Cotton,’ and shut the door. By 1 o’clock Aunt Anna’s horse was in his stall.
“The next morning while she took her drive behind Pempey, carrying Mr. Elli- son’s pistol in her muff. Victorine receby-

Those who are not well will make no mistake in looking
ed a pirty of gentiémeén; who industrious- ly fell to work drilling holes in and about Aunt Anna’s front door. Henry Mose re- turned from Rosale during the afternoon. At 10 o’clock he stood before Pompey’s door. Pompey came out. Immediately every house in the quarters opened a sly door, and figures moved between the nar- row lane of houses toward the driveway. The plantation house was lighted as usu- a!, its shutters drawn, its hall lamp swung above the transom. A faint glow flowed from an upper room, where the children slept. Seated inside, Aunt Anna Was saying, ‘I shonldn’t wonder if the foo!s waited until after moonrise.’
**At that instant young Ellison gave a signal from the hall. Everybody went out there and stood around the door. Each put an eye to ene hole, a pisto} to anoth er, Aunt Anna, too.
“When Pompey stepped on to the piaz- za, he got five shots and fell back on the others, Who began to yell and push down the steps. Henry Mose was sent sprawl- ing with a ball in his leg. The frightened darkies believed they had been struck by the wrath of heaven and ran. leaving their Jeaders, one dead, the other disa- bled, on the porch. None of them ever knew that Aunt Anna had assistance from outside. They regarded her and Victorine as a terrible pair. Aunt Anna managed the plantation until she was 35, then she began to get rich and lazy, and she hired an overseer.”

Everybody Has a Donkey.
In this whole poverty stricken kingdom of Portugal! there is not a peasant so des- perately impoverished ag to be without his donkey. Every human being in the district seems to own from one to a score. Even the multitudinous beggars who ac cost you for alms at every step on the highway are mounted, much as Sancho Panza may have been. Ina front of every, church, in every placa or square and huddled in every crumbling archway are dozens of shaggy little donkeys, each ca- parisoned with a rope around its neck in lieu of halter or bridle, and aguge wood- en saddie upon its back, and most of them are, unhappily. accompanied by barefooted drivers, also mounted, armed with iron pointed goads, long as hoe handles. They are called into requisition for the most trifling errands. The servant rides to market, the mechanic to his day’s labor.—Exchange,
