SUGY-HONEY'S WORK
There was no pomp or ceremony nt the
christening of jSugy-Honoy; neither would
tho most visionary astrologer have en?
dowed her with a mission.
llor mother was tho favorite innld of a
pretty Georgia girl lieforo tho days of se?
cession and had given to hor baby this
queer sounding name, because, as sho ex?
plained to hor young mistress:
"Sugar is sweet, en so is? honey, on do
baby is sweeter don older, on so I'zo
named her fer bofo.''
Mary Honson laughed at her servant's
fancy, but site was an indulgent mistress
and mado no real objection, so that Han?
nah's baby; was henceforth known to Ha?
zel Dell farm as Sugy-Houcy.
To mistress and maid, as to mother and
child,tlie happy years went by without pre?
sage of tho horrors of war in store for that
summer land nnd that sunny hearted peo?
ple. Yet when the first gun of Fort Suill
ter sent its thunderous echoes round tho
world, it found Mary's father already tho
colonel of a regiment on his way to join
his command, leaving his plantation to
tlio caro of his wifo and daughter and a
few trusted servants. These had proved
themselves faithful in days of peace and
prosperity. They wore now to bo found
not less so through years of adversity and
peril. Hannah, with Jake, hor husband,
and Sugy-Houoy wore tho main house
servants. "All I own in the world and all
I lovo I leave in your hands," were the
last words of Colonel Honson as ho rodo
nway, and events proved that ho know in
whom ho cunld trust.
Tho day came at last whon the war,
with nil its changes, was over, and Han?
nah had hoard that hor master was coming
homo.
Four years of civil strife had left their
impress on hillside and valley, as well in
tho hcurtsof tho people. Tho Honson man?
sion, which had been built in colonial
times, of stono brought as ballast from tho
mother country, was now a heap of ruins,
and its ashes had been trampled by sway?
ing lines of men grappled together in the
(loudly struggle for victory. Another im?
pressive Byrubol of tho family misfortunes
was a newly made grave in tho little fam?
ily burying ground, where nil inscription
on a slab of white pine told to those who
oared to read that the mother of tho house?
hold had closed hor eyes to tho sorrows of
time. Hannah was making ready for her
master a little room in tho corner of tho
yard called an office, which, with her own
uabin, were the only buildings left stand?
ing. While thus occupied she was expound?
ing her troubles to Sugy-Honey, who was
diligently scrubbing tho floor.
"Dose hero is quaro times, Sugy-Honoy,
I tell yon. Eborybody gonoff do place but
yon on mo, en yor daddy, en po' olo miss
(laid wld heartbreak, caso Miss Mary went
on marry tint Yankee onptlllg. En what is
I gwino ter toll marster whon ho cum? I
Jos' Ink tor know dat!"
Sugy-Honoy did not essay to solve this
problem, but, giving her scrubbing brush
an extra dig, sho said:
"Mammy, does you reckin mnrstor will
tak' on 'bout Miss Mary gittin married Ink
010 miss did?"
"Sho, chile, olo miss didn't keer bo much
for herself. Sho done glvo tip tor take
ivhntohbor do Lawd son'. 'Twos Jos' case
sho knowod how mnrstor wus gwino rar
whon he git homo."
Tho clicking of tho little gate broke in
011 tin; conversation, and turning they saw
Colonel Honson standing at tho door.
Ho had been u handsome man, but hard?
ship and suffering had left their marl:
upon him, and In; looked old and worn.
"Thank do I.awd, marster," said Han?
nah. "I sho is glad ter see yon back. Tako
?Iis cheer by tie fire"?dusting that article,
with her handkerchief the while, though
it Wtt8 already spot less. "Set dar tut warm
yor po', tired foot en lent mo git yor sum
supper."
Hannah know h? had heard of his wife's
death and of the destruction of tho house,
but no ono had told him of the defection
of Iiis daughter, and she was Booking with
bustle and clatter to put olT the evil mo?
ment when the ill tidings must bo told.
Colonel Honson made no reply, but
looked through the window at the vacant
spot, where his home once stood, and at
tho grave just beyond tho box borders of
the garden, showing a reddish yellow in
tlio last rays of the setting sun.
His face, though sod, was not hopeless,
for, despite tho issues of tin-war and tho
desolation surrounding him, he was ex?
pecting each moment to hear his daugh?
ter's voice and to feel her arms around his
nock. He had been alone in his sorrow so
long! Why did sho not conic? Atlas) ho
turned to Hannah and said, "Where is
Mary:-"
"Oh, mnrstor, who is ter tell yon 'bout,
dat? 1 can't." And throwing her apron
over her head she rooked to and fro, shak?
ing wit h Sobs.
"Speak, woman I" said the colonel stern?
ly. "Is she dead'/"
I Hannah uncovered her face and looked
at hint. When he looked and talked like
that, sho knew she must obey.
"Sho is married, en when she hoard yon
wus in prison she en her husband say cloy
gwino git you out."
"Married? And to whom?"
"Ter dat onpting whar cum long hero
wid Ginornl Sherman, llo took keer ob
hor on olo miss when tie house wus burnt,
en though she haled a Yankee likj) pizctl
lovo is stronger dan hate, en she loved
him."
Colonel Honson said nothing, but he
looked like a man who had received Iiis
deathblow.
Hannah knelt at Iiis feet, pouring out
from her heart protestations of loyalty and
affection and from a slocking she had tak?
en from her itockot $200 in gold. Sho
bogged hi tit to take tho money; she had
made it in vitri us ways aud saved it for
him. And then sho added: .
"I'zo gwino ter stay wid you, marster:
caso dat's what. I promised olo mi.-s when
sho WUS on her tlyln bed. wid ono ban In
my han on do oder in Mi.-s Mary s, hut
sho looked at ino last, 411 she say ill a
whisper, 'You'll stay wid dem. linnnah?'
en 1 answered, 1 'Fore God, I will whilo
Acre's href In my body,' en I nln goin
back on a prom us ter do dnid, not tit 1
knows it!"
As she rosu to her feet Colonel Honson
said, "Keep tho money for yourself, Hau
nnh," oral with an imperious wave of Iiis
hand, "Nover let mo hear my daughter's
name again."
And that was all ho would say.
Hannah cooked for hint, saw that lio
slept comfortably and tried in many ways
to arouse his old time interest in tho farm,
i It was all in vain. A mental paralysis
SCOlUOd to have settled down upon hint
that nothing could dispel.
"He Jos' Ink daid man walkln," Han?
nah said to her husband, "lie's got a
look on his face ink ho wus scclu through
utarnity. He uobbor say mithin; he go
erlong el)ery mawuiu torolo miss's grave,
on tlar ht< sets. He won* reail nur write,
nur nuttin."
"Ho gwilio go crazy, sinner dose days,"
answered .lake dolefully.
"He look soour'ous outon his eyes,"
Hannah continued, "I gittin 'frald ter let
him set tlmr by liesolf all day. I tlnk I'll
make Sugy-Honoy stay dar mosoly, so sho
kin tell u?o ot he try ter hurt hoself."
Jake assoutod to this, anil after ampin
explanation It was understood botwoon
the three that Sugy-Honoy was to ho valet
do chamhre to Colonel Henson. Sho well
remembered her young mistress, whom she
adored with an nfToction tho mistress of to?
day never knows. Tho knowledge that
Miss Mary would want her to stay with
"inarster" touohod a responsive chord in
her heart. She could not do too much.
Enoll day thereafter found her In attend?
ance. Sometimes in an obtrusive corner
she rubbed the knives. At other times she
softly played checkers on an old shawl,
but whatever her apparent occupation,
hands, feet and eyes wero always at his
service. If he happened to be thirsty, she
brought thocolonol fresh water; if sleepy,
Bho bent up tho pillow on his lounge and
fanned him while ho took a nap. Some?
times she sat with a 'stray newspaper in
her hand pointing out the letters and
making them into words, for her young
mistress had taught her a little and told
her to try and learn more.
Just at this juncture Hannah recolveda
letter from Mary, which she brought to
Sugy-Honoy to road. Mary asked for news
of her father, and said they had been un?
able to trace him, and wound up by tell?
ing of her baby boy, named for Colonel
Henson.
This wns great news to Sugy-Honoy,
nnd shi< decided to write to her young mis?
tress to come homo and bring the baby.
Who had learned to write a little, and after
many attempts she evolved this letter:
"Here tnir? Mary, you Is my miss Mary
yit, eben ot wo all Is free. Hab wo forgot
do good tlmo wo uster hab? I loves you,
oh, how I loves you on do baby. I wants
you tor cum homo ter yer paw. He say ho
won' see you. but you cum ennyhow en
bring do baby. Mammy finks master
gwine ter diu. He don' say nuttlu, ho
dun' oat much, ho don' sleep much. I
stays wid him all day, en daddy ho sleep
by do bed ehery night. X'zo yer little Sugy
Honoy."
Tills letter reached Mary in her distant
home. Despite every elTort, she had heard
nothing of her father and feared he was
dead. So even with this sad news it was
with a lighter heart she journeyed toward
her old homo.
Arriving in the neighborhood, she sent
for old Hannah."Who gave her the particu?
lars of her father's condition, and together
they had many an anxious discussion as
to what wns best to be done.
"Do doctor say it wouldn't do for you
tor go ter see him. He is so sot agin yon
bavin do captiug. Do shock of Bceln you
might kill him," Hannah said on ono of
these occasions. "Hut you kin stay close
by, on I'll make out like I'll hire Sugy
Honoy ter you tor mis'. Ho don' know
what yer new name Is, nohow, en she kin
take do baby ober dar, on may ho marster'll
notice him arter owhllo."
Thus it was arranged, and tho next day
when Sugy-Honoy did not appear as usual
' Colonel Henson seemed restless and final
ly asked where she was.
"I dun hired her out tor nits', '* answered
Hannah. "I taut she might es well ho
makin er little somothin os not."
Colonel Henson said no more, but ho
evidently missed the willing hands and
feet and tho cheery presence to which he
had been so long accustomed. As he sat
on the porch that evening, a silent, discon?
solate figure, he heard a jolly laugh and a
baby's pretty cooing. It proved to bo Sugy
Honoy nnd her now charge.
The baby was a lovely little fellow, just
beginning to prattle. When Sugy-Honoy
put him down from her lap, he toddled in
the most matter of fact way to Colonel
lionson, put his band on tho colonel's
knee and chatted incessantly in his pret?
ty, lisping lingo.
The colonel soon commenced to take a
little Interest in farm mailers, to Inquire
of .lake how many of the old negroes were
still on the place, what crops ho planted
and to give some advice as to their culti?
vation. Yet it was plain that, his day be?
gan when Sllgy-Honoy came with the baby
and oudod when they left, lie still bad no
idea who the little one really was, for all
were afraid to tell him.
One day in early autumn Sllgy-Honoy
and tho baby made their usual pilgrimage
to the old place.
The baby hail a long weed with a fuzzy
(>nd for a tail, playing horse, lie was
calling on "Tunnel, " as he called him. to
whip up Ids horse, ami while prancing to
anil fro in some way the weed caught on
lire from the open llruplnco, and before any
ono realized that danger was near the lit?
tle form was partially enveloped in Dames.
Sugy-Honoy rushed to the rescue, for
she was the lirsl to see the blaze, and the
colonel wrapped the screaming Imhy in a
rug. Their hands and arms were severely
burned, but. the baby escaped miraculous?
ly. Though all his pretty curls were gono
and his outside clothing hunted, yot tho
woolen garment next his body was scarce?
ly scorched.
Colonel Henson had worked with a will,
and while ho was rolling and rubbing the
baby form he was mentally making an al?
most, unconscious vow:
"O Lord, spare mo this little one I hail
begun to love, and I will no longer waste
my lifo. Only let mo save the baby from
n hideous death, and I will arouse from
my lethargy. I will soften my heart to my
only child and take her into my lim
again."
All this and much more he vowed while
lifo and death hung in the balance and
while lie and Sugy-Honoy woro winning
tho victory.
At last tho danger was past; the liaby
hail ceased crying and was giving ono of
Its rippling laughs over a caper his nurse
was executing for his benefit. A swift
rush of skirts was heard, for had news flics
