To you and to me and all de black folks.’’ The spell of prophecy still sounded in the girl’s voice. Viney tilted her chair forward until she could reach the chimney jamb with the bowl of her black pipe. Suzanne looked at her beseechingly. That with- ered old crone was the one object of ab- ject fear that entered into her life. ‘Don’ you yo to laughin at me, mammy. It’s all here in black ad white in this ae ru read it to you tonight if ¥ “ge LPF 2 She waé non ber knees upon the bare, hard floor, piling together the pieces of wood that had burned in two and fallen apart during Viney’s long wait. The reunited logs leaped into ready flames, and Viney stretched her long, withered hands close above the dancing sparks. She was very proud of that kneeling figure. She knew Suzanne was handsome. And she was hers—bher very own. Her voice softened under the girl’s imploring gaze. ‘*What yot talkin "bout, gal? hat gre’t thing is goin to happen? And who tol you ’bout it?’’ Then Suzanne, fearful of dissipating | the dawning interest in her mother’s sunken eyes by repeating her experi- ment with the newspaper, said eagerly: ‘‘I’ll tell it tonight and read it to- morrow. The light ain’t ve’y good. We all is goin to be sot free, mammy. You and me and all the black folks. Ole mars- ter say it’s boum tocome. Mars Adr’n laugh at him and say he kin whip a doz- en of the folks that is comin here to set us free with one han tied behind him.’’ ‘*When all dat gwine happen?’’ flippantly, only questioningly. Suzanne gasped. She was not pre- pared with her details. ‘*Right off, I reckon. Mars Adr’n seems in a big hurry to git ready. He say he goin to be a capt’in and w’ara uniform and ride a horse.”’ ‘*T boun, whatever happen, he gwine ride a horse if all the res’ uv the worl walk.

I was tired of waitin for you.’”’ CHAPTER XII While the fire burned Strong Martin mused. Outside a pelting, persisting rain was falling. No gleam of sunshine had illumined the gray lichen crowned roof of his cabin all that day. Through his uneurtained, shutterless windows he could see the rain dropping in trans- lucent beads from the black, decaying shingles that overlapped the roof as for- bidding, shaggy eyebrows overlap the withered cheek of old age. The cliffs that clasped Neck or Noth- ing in an everlasting embrace had long since shut out the last pallid ray of the twilight which still lingered on the up- per plane like a belated wraith. In front of Strong’s hermitage stretch- ed the dun expanse of the river, racing seaward with a resistless energy that bent the pale green crests of the willows on its margin until they shivered in chilled contact with the rushing waters —soundless, sullen waters in these war begirt days! No peaceful passenger packet to churn them with the boister- ous whirl of huge paddle wheels, no white winged pleasure craft cleaving the current with shining prow in friend- ly contest of speed. Instead an occasional ‘‘transport,’’ dark with swarming masses of bling coated soldiery, being conveyed from one strategic point to another, or recur- rent gunboat, its dingy sides pierced by forbidding portholes, stealing warily past, with lookout alert upon the bridge, descrying in every tender green crown of water, willow or cottonwood a possi- ble shargphooter or ambushed guerrilla.
