Thank you, Mr. Coleman," she smiled, "but I can't, to-night. Miss Thornton and I are just " "Don't decline on MY account, Miss Brown," said Thorny, mincingly, "for I have an engagement this evening, and I have to go straight home "
" Our servants ran away and and then we left everything behind us and I've never been in such a position in my life." Coleman moved softly in the darkness and unbuckled some of his traps. On his knee he broke the hard cakes of bread and with his fingers he broke the little tablets of chocolate. These he distributed to his people.
"Ranaway, Dick, about 19, has lost the small toe of one foot." Mr. "Stolen a mulatto boy, ten years old, he has a scar over his eye which was made by an axe." Mr. Richard Overstreet, Brook Neal, Campbell Co. "Absconded my negro man Coleman, has a very large scar on one of his legs, also one on each arm, by a burn, and his heels have been frosted."

Prominent citizens left their chairs beneath the courthouse awning to avoid other prominent citizens whom they saw approaching. Still they could not avoid one another. "Any news?" asked Acres of Coleman, whom he met coming out of the courthouse. "Not a thing. Clerk says no will has been probated there to-day.

The results of his conference with the governor seemed very satisfactory, "We can now go ahead with free minds," said Clancey Dempster. The business was astonishingly varied in scope.
