CHAPTER XII

Suzanne turned a look of solemn re- proach in the direction of this frivolous interruption. She regarded Sandy in the light of an impertinence. With serious deliberation she folded the news- paper so as to bring into due promi- nence the large headlines, which had sounded so impressive when read aloud by Adrien that afternoon. ‘‘Lis’n, folks!’

She began to read amid a silence so profound that the soft rustling of the paper in her hand was distinctly audi- ble. She was not a fluent elocutionist. She halted nervously at every verbal stumbling block which presented more than two syllables to be mastered. But, sustained by the consciousness that she was doing it better than any one of her auditors could do it, and believing that she had news worth communicating, she forged ahead resolutely :

“The big letters at the top reads, ‘Con-C-o-n-Con—’ ”’

“‘Confound it! ‘Contraption!’ ”’

‘“‘Shet up, boys. Youis altogether too briggity.’’

A resonant maternal cuff accompa- nied this rebuke. The interruption had been valuable to Suzanne. She resumed glibly: ‘‘ ‘Confederate states of Amer- ica. Rat-ratyfercation meeting.’ ”’

She heaved a sigh of relief. It was tougher work than she had anticipated, but she proceeded under the cheering conviction that she had tided over the worst.

**Proceedings of a large meeting of the citizens of Sessumsport, without dis-tinc-tion of former party lines, held at the courthouse in Sessumsport Satur- day, Febrnary 16, 1861.’

‘*We all knows that much already. Unc’ Dolbear driv ole mars to the cote- house hisseff. I don’t hear nuthin ’bout us folks in that.’’

This was discouraging. Suzanne put a hand up to her turban with disarrang- ing effect.

“But it is "bout we all, all the same. I’m comin to it. Mebbe I didn’t begin at the right place. Here! Ireckon I got it this time:

***That we are ready and willing to support by arms and otherwise our state and southern c-o-n-confedracee, that we yield precedence in patriotism to the people of no other county of this or any other southern state.’

‘*Well, what den?’’

Suzanne looked up timbrously at a stolid and unmoved audience. Somehow the printed words looked black and meaningless when she spelled them out s0 laboriously. And yet they were the same words that had stirred Mr. Adrien to such a pitch of joyous excitement and the old master to an equally excited pitch of lugubrious prophecy.

Sam Bates had taken advantage of the diversion to empty the jug provided for general refreshment and had reeled out of the hall in a condition of glori- ous irresfonsibility. scraping his bow over the strings of his instrument to the air of ‘‘We’ll dance all night, till broad daylight, and ge home wid the gals in the mornin.’’

Sandy had followed his example, pocketing his slighted bones with a grimace of disgust bestowed. upon Su- zanne, and one verbal Parthian dart:

‘*‘Them that’s willin to stan roun like a gander on one foot while Sue is root- in roun fur her news is welcome to stay. I’ze gwine home.’’

Suzanne flung the paper from her tempestuously, but immediately recov- ered it with a jerk.

‘‘Plague on the paper! You is alla passel uv gumps. Jus’ ‘cause I can’t read a thing off as glib as them that’s w’ite and b’en studyin books all they lives you all don’ b’lieve there’s noth- in in it. I kin tell it ef I can’t find it in the paper. It’s there, though,’’ she concluded obstinately, as she slapped the paper angrily with her forefinger.

‘“‘Well, tell it then.’’

‘I’m gettin sleepy.’’

‘*An the torches is mos’ flared they- seffs out.’’

‘The w'ite folks is goin to fight. They’s goin to fight to mek us free.’’ Suzanne looked about her triumphantly.

‘*Free?’’ It was a full, deep, ques- tioning chorus.

‘‘Yes, free. Free as the birds of

the a’r. Nobody to say go, and you got to go. Nobody to say stay, lak you was a horse wid a curb bit in your mouth, and you got to stay. Free to go when you like and whar you like. Free to stay in bed tell 10 o’clock in de mornin if you've a min ter, and den git up and tek yourown time "bout things gin’ral- - ” An incrednlous laugh rewarded black Suzanne’s efforts to fire the souls of her people with the joyous hope that was even then making her own pulses bound furiously.

‘‘You don’t b’lieve me yet. But, thank God, that won’t keep it from comin, won't keep it from comin! Glo- ry halleluiah, it’s comin, comin, com-

lustrous eyes fastened upon the cobweb- bed, time blackened rafters overhead. ‘Freedom, it’s comin! Comin to me and a-comin to you! Freedom, it’s a- comin! Sent from de skyes above!”’ It meant nothing to them, that ab-

clasped above her gay turban, her great

stract idea of freedom. It was an emp-

ty, mystic sound to that herd of laugh- ing, well fed, care free slaves. It was, in its essence, an impalpable good they were too gross to grasp. Suzanne might have read that edition of the Sessums- port Herald to them with the utmost fluency and emphasis without stirring

them to anything more appreciative than a derisive laugh or a jesting taunt. But the swaying grace of the tall, lithe form under the expiring piae torch, the rhythmic melody of that monotonous chant, in which the word freedom re- curred again and again, stirred their imitative faculties to an emulous pitch, and the festivities of the earlier hours gradually waxed into a pwan to liber- ty, that rose and swelled and died away and moaned among the cavernous raft- ers until Suzanne’s hands suddenly tropped by her sides, and she stood

She was swaying to and fro with rhythmic grace, her long, pallid hands

mute and exhausted among the swing- ing, chanting, howling negroes, whom she had stirred to a frenzy.

‘*I must go tell mammy,”’’ she said, with sudden remorsefulness of aspect. ‘*Mammy's got mo’ sense than all of us put together. Good night, folks.’’

Old Viney sat muttering and smok- ing in the little lean to of a room that Strong Martin calleda kitchen. Just across ths grassless yard wasa sual! hovel where she and Suzanne slept to- gether of nights, but she always waited for the girl there by tho kitchan fire, when the nights were cold and the hoy- el hearth comfortless.

The girl was long coming tonight, and Viney’s imperious temper was chaf- ing under the delay.

‘*Dog on her for a sassy drab! ain’t here by de time de dinin room clock strak ‘leven she kin grope her own way to bed in de cold an de dark. I ain’ goin stan much mo’.’”’

But before the dining room clock struck 11 the kitchen door opened very softly and Suzanne anda cold puff of wind entered together.

SUCCESSFUL MEN

MANY OF THEM ARE HANDICAPPED WITH CATARRHAL DISEASES.

Dr.A.W.CHASE

COMES TO THEIR AID.

Suecess in life ts almost impossible for a man with bad breath. Nobody wants to do »usiness with him. No- body wants to associate with him. He

is handicapped everywhere. Offen- sive breath comes from catarrh; some- times from caterrh of the stomach,

sometimes of the lungs, sometimes of the head, nose, and throat. It is from eatarrh somewhere, and catarrh is an- other name for uncleanness,

Many men understand this, and make every effert to cure it, but it is be- yond the reach of ordinary practice.

No self-respecting man can ignore catarrh. If he has it in any form he

makes constant effort to be rid of it.

There is something about the man- ner of life and the climate of Canada that seems to breed diseases of the mucous membrane, Medical science ordinarily doesn’t try to cure catarrh; it “relieves”’’ it; but Dr. Chase has been curing catarrh for over thirty years, and his name is blessed by thousands who have shaken off the grasp of this insidious disease.
