Heedless of the rain, Missy rushed out
Into the dark night, following the sound
of her brother'n footsteps as lie strode
through the grounds. Ilia horse was
still at this hitching post, and Misey had
divined that ho meant to rido away at
once.
"Brer Nicholas! Brer Nicholas?" she
cried, distractedly. "Take me—me, too!
I ain't afraid! I can stick closer than a
cockle burr'."
But there came no answer through tho
rainy darkness, and ehe heard tho horse'

"You must understand that when no more she turned wildly and ran down
your brother mnrriea you will have the dark and muddj lan- to old Gilbert's
gained a sister," the colonel said, in liis cabin. She beat upon the door with her
accustomed tone of authority. iliasv'B Knall fists, sbe burst it oaeu in her im-
to be i petuoua passion, and stood, dripping and
haggard, in the li^ht. of the pine knot
bku.iug in the hearth.
Old (iiibert. nated on the sweet gum
block, was patching au ancient jacket.
Bending low to catch the light from the
pine knot, mid pi vring through a fuir of
clumsy spectacles, he was pushing at his
needle by means of a leathern circle in
the palm of his hand. Hi needle was
big, his thread was coarse, tuid monstrous
tvere his stitches.
Missy, witii a wild cry, as If she were
the blast Incarnate, swept the jacket
from his hands into the hearth, where it
lay and scorched and was forgotten.
"In de name o'de Lawd!" Gilbert ejac
ulated. "l)o chile is nho'ly poss,-sged,"
"Brer Nicholas id gone! gone! gone!"
Kinsy howled, "never to conio no luo'!
Ho Is married to Dosia Fnrnival. and my

in rheer exhaustion, threw herb«lf u|xn
tho lloor.
"Dat prjueefli owelT' muttercil the old

Btariling ua was Missy's statement, it
waa received with absolute conviction.
"De Lawd'a will be (lone!" ln» sighed.
"Yon mean ol 1 i i^ er!" cried the out*.

"Honey," said old Gilbert, persuasive

"I won't!" said MiM.-iy and down went

little cabin.
Oh! Gilbert felt utterly helpless. He
looked at the child in silence, and then,
unable to bear the sight, ho turned his
eyes away in the direction, as it chanced,
of the binding and smoking pine knot,
ai.d mechanie diy drew hia jacket out of
the allies. But ho had no heart to re
turn to his patching. "Hit's a mizzable
night," lie naid but whether he referred
to tho rain beating Kiilh-nly on the roof,
or to the dire news Mis.-.yhad brought,
he did not know. }Io began to tsing a
hymn for comfort.
"1 don't want you to ping!" howled
Missy. "If you was just a wicked old
man, I'd like you to-cuss!"
"Look a here!" ^xchbned old Gilbert,
In a fright. "De pp-Trit of d" Tiiornci i

Minsy so'bod. She waa sorry for wbttt

mournfully.

"Dat ain't noway fur you ter talk,**
paid old (Jrilbcrt, with authority. "You
climb outer my hack I gwan tote you

Missy prepared to obey, nothing loth.
SI i'i felt weak and tired, and a ride ujnin
old Uilixirt'ii back still had iu charm for
her.
"You hor on ter me wid ono ban1, en'

man directed. "I gwau mek 6turrups

"Here wo go!"' he exclaimed, cheerily,
as he rose, staggering a huh under her
weight and it was at no nsyid gait that
he /undo his way in tho dark, rpia*hing
through tlio puddles in the lane.
Missy felt her heart lighten a little
under theexhilaratn.il of this ride,
"Daddy," i-aid she, bri.ikly, "l tell you
what—I wa«t you to go after Brer Nieh
ol.ia."
