Miss Brown, a colored girl twenty
years of age, said she wouldn't mind
obliging Mr. Joues. it occurred to her
that If Mrs. Joues should die she might
be Mrs. Joues herself. Jones was
well to do darky on the shady side of
forty and had three pickaninnies. Miss
Brown supported herself by washing
and Ironing and thought that If she
could permanently change her occupa
tion to taking care of a family it would
be an advantage.
"When do yo' want me to come, Mr.
Jones?" she inquired.
"Ma wife's gwine to de hosplttle
about 4 o'clock. Iteckon yo' mought
come round about half past 4."
"All right. Mr. Joues I'll be dar."
Mrs. Jones was removed In the hos
pital ambulance on time, and half an
hour later Miss Brown, who was com
monly called Sue bJfcer employers,
settled herself down nAier place. The
children were playing la the street,
and Sue did not disturb them. She
was taking an eye inventory of the

She was worried about her children,

that he had secured the services of
some one to take care of them. He did

With Sue had she curbed her Impa

tired asking Mose after his visits to
the hospital how he had found his wlfa,
hearing only the repetition, "Porely,
very porely she's gwine down hill pow
erful fast." So it occurred to the girl
to go to the hospital and ask questions
on her own account. She bought a five

the posy, "dat a frlen' ob de family
