"Well, parson," MoMonlgle began ai
last, "ef I tiad o' seen you standln' In the
front .o' the ato'e clean to the minute
you come back here, I'd think you'd
lieerd more'n names.
"Of co'se we couldn't put It quite ez
eloquent az you did, but we had Jest
fveryone of us 'lowed that sense the
day May Meredith dropped out o' Slmp
klnsvllle the sky ain't never shone the
(time.
"But for a sitory? Well, I don't see
"tihat ther's much story to It, and to
'them thot didn't know her I reckon It's
a common enough story.
"But ez to the old nigger, Proph',
being mixed up in It, I can't eggsiw'ly
eay that's so, though I don't never
think about the old nigger without
seemin' to see little May Day's long
yaller curls, an' ef I think about hor, I
seem to Bee the old man, somehow.
"Don't they cume to you all.that-a-wav?"
He paused, 'took a few puffs frm his
pipe and looked from one to another for
confirmation of his story.
'. "Yiis," said the doctor, "Just exactly
tliti't-a-wiay, Dan'l. Go on, ol' mun.
You're a-tellln' it straight."
"Well, that's what I'm almin' to do."
lie laid his pipe down on the stove's
fender as he resumed his recital.
"Old Proh' "which his name wasn't
Prophet, of co'se, which ain't to say a
name ndliow, but his name was Jere
my, an' he used to go by name o' Jerry;
then somebody called him 'Jeremy,
the prophet,' an' from that it got down
to 'Prophet' and then 'Proph' and so
It stayed.
"Well, as I started to say, Proph' die
was Jest one o' Meredith's ol' slave nig
gers a sort o' quare, half luney, no
'count darky never done nothln'
eense freedom but what tie had a mind
to, Jest livln' on Meredith right along.
"He wasn't to say crazy but well,
he'd stand and talk to anything, a dog,
a cat, a tree, a toad-frog anything.
Heap o' times I've seen him llmpin' up
the road ftn' Ihe'd turn round sudden
an' seemed to be talkin' to somethln'
tihet was foilerin' him, an' when he'd
git tired he'd start on an' maybe every
minute look back over his shoulder and
laugh. They was only one thing Proph
was, to say, good for. Proph was a
capital A 1 Oiunter shorest shot in the
state. In my opinion, and when he'd
take a notion Jie could go out where no
body wouldn't sight a bird or a squlr'l
all day long, an' he'd fill Ills game bag.
"Well, sir, the children round town,
they was all afreed of Mm, and the nig
gers th'aint a nigger In the county
thet don't b'lleve to this day that Proph
would cunjer 'em ef he'd git mad.
"An' time he takin' to fortune-tell-Jn
the school cihild'en thet'd be feerd
to, go up to him by theirselves, they'd
go in ia crowd, an' he'd call out fortunes
to 'pm, an' they'd give him biscuits out
o' their lunch cans.
"From that he come to tellln' any
body's fortune, an' so the young men,
they got Ihlm to come to the old year
party one year, Jest for the fun of It,
en' time the clock was most on the
twelve strike, Proph ihe stood up an'
called out e-vents of the comin' year.
An', sir, for a crack-brained fool nigger,
he'd call out the smartest things you
ever near, .every year ror rive year
Proph called out comin' e-vents at the
old year party; an' matches that no
"j ouapitiuiieu, wny ne a call em
out, an shore enough, 'fore the year
was out, tne weddln's would come off.
An' babies! He'd predlc' babies a year
ahead not always callin' out full
names, but Jest insinuatln' so that any
t. ,.A V. . . ...
vuujr mujL waian i ueer in Doth ears
would understand.
uui 10 come back to the story of
r.. . r .11.1. .
juuy jjn-reuiin ne ain't in it, no ways
In
partlcllar. It's only thet sense shn
coum walk an' hold the ol' man's hand
ne aotea on her, an' she was Jest ez
wroppea up in him. Many a time when
she was a toddler he's rode into town,
Set on the Flo' by Her lied All Night.
mule-back, with her sitting' up In front
of him. An', then when she got bigger
it was Jest as ef uhe was the queen to
him that's all. He saved her from
drowndin'' onc't, jumped In the creek
after her nn' couldn't swim a stroke,
an' mos' drownded hlsself an' time
she had the diptheria, he never shet
his eyes ez long ez she was sick enough
to be set up with set on the flo" by her
bed an night.
"That's all the way Proph Is mixed
tip In her story. An' now, sense they're
botn gone, ef you 'maglne you see one,
you seem to see the other.
"An" May Day's story? Well, I hard
ly like to dlBturb it. Don't rightly
Know how to tell it, nohow.
"I don't doubt folks has told you she
went wrong, but that's a mighty hard
way to tell the story of May Meredith.
We can't none of us deny, I reckon,
' thet she went wrong. A red-cheeked
peach thet don't know nothln' but the
dew and the sun, and to grow sweet
and purty It goes wrong when It's
wrenched off the stem and et by a hog.
That's one way o' goin' wrong.
' "Little Daisy Meredith didn't have no
mo' Idee o' harm than that mockln'
bird o' Rowton's In Its cage there, thet
alngs weekday songs all Sunday nights.
"She wasn't but Jest barely turned
seventeen years ez sweet a little girl
ez ever taught a Baptist Sunday school
cluss when he came down from St.
Louis though some says he come from
Chicago, an' some says Canada lookln'
after Borne Bt.x Louis land mortgage
An') glvln' the devil his due, he was the
handsomest man thet ever trod Slmp
ktnBVllle streets that Is, of cos'ofor a
outsider.'' Seen May Day first time on
her. way to church, an' looked after
her then squared back dl-rect, an" fol
lered her. Walked . Into church de
Jlb'rate, an' behaved like' a gentleman,
rS-ffia
5TRY
religiously Inclined, ef ever a well
dressed city person behaved that way.
"Well, sir, from that day on, he froze
toher and, strange to say, every mother
of a marriageable daughter In town
was Jealous exeeptin' one, an' that one
was May's own mother. An' she not
only wasn't Jealous which she couldn't
'a'been, of co'se but she wasn t pleased.
"She seemed to feel a dread of him
from the start, and she treated him
mighty shabby, but of co'se the little
girl, she made it up to him in polite
ness, good as she could, an' he didn't
take no notice of It. Kep" on Bhowln'

he'd be In town, most any evenln' you'd
go past the Meredith gate you could
see his - horse tied there everything
open and above-board, so It seemed.
"Well, sir. he hapened to be here the
time of the old year party, three year
ago. You've been here a year and over,
ain't you, parson?"
"Yes, I was stationed here at fall con
ference a year ago this November, you
recollect."
Yas, so you was. Well, all this Is
about two year befo' you come.
"Well,' sir, when It was known that
May Day's city beau was goin' to be
here for the party, everybody looked
to see some fun, 'cause they know'd
how free ol' Proph' made with nanifs,
an' they wondered ef he'd have gall
enough to call out May Day's name
with the city feller's. Well, ez luck
would have It, the party was at my
house that year, an' I tell you, sir, folks
thet hadn't set up to see the old year
out for ten years, come that night Jest
for fear they'd miss somethln', But
of co'se we saw through It. We knowed
what fetched 'em.
"Well, sir, that was the purtlest party
ever see In my life. Our Simpklns
ville pattern for young girls Is a toler-
ble neat one, ef I do say it, ez shouldn't
bein' kin to forty-'leven of 'em. We
ain't gofno. to say, ugly girls In town
never had many, though some has
piainea aown consiuer oie wnen xney
got settled In years, but the girls there
that night was ez perfec' a bunch of
girls ez you ever see jest ez purty a
show o' beauty ez any rose arbor could
turn out on a spring day,
"Have you ever went to gether roses,
parson, each one seemin to be the pur
tlest tell you'd got a handful, an you d
be startln' to come away, when away
up on top o' the vine you'd see one that
was enough pinker an' sweeter'n the
rest to make you climb for It, nn' when
you'd git it, you'd stick it In the top of
yore bouquet a little hlgher'n the
others?
"I see you know what I mean. Well,
that was the way May Day looked that
night. She was that top bud.
"I had three nieces and wife and she
had sev'al cousins, tllre all purty
enought to draw hummln' birds but I
say little Daisy Meredith, she jest
topped 'em all for beauty and sweet
ness an' modesty that night.
"An' the stranger-
r wen. i dunno jest
to less'n It is to one
let stalk around the
what to liken him
of them princes thet stalk around the
stage an' gives orders when they have
pluy actln In a show tent.
" They wasn't no .'lies on his shape,
nor his rig, nor his manners, neither.
Talked to the old ladles-rlcolleot my
wife she had a linger wropped up. an
he ast her about It and advised her to
look after It an' give her a recipe for
bone-felon. She thought they wasn't
n.,bodv like him. An- he jest simply
danced the wall flowers dizzy, give the
fiddlers money, an' well, he done
everything thet a person o' the royal
family of city gentry might be expect
ed to do. An' everybody wondered
what mo' Mrs. Meredith wanted for
her daughter. Tell the truth, some
mistrusted, an' 'lowed thet she Jest
took on that way to hide how tickled
Bhe was.
Well, ez I say, the party passed oft
lovely, an' after awhile It came near
12 o'clock, an' the folks commenced
to look Tound for ol' Proph to come In
an call out e-vents same as he always
done.
"So d'rectly the boys they went out
an' retched mm in arawin' mm long
by the sleeve, an' holdln' back like
ez ef he dreaded tn come In.
I tell you, parson, I'll never forglt
the way that old nigger looked, longest
day I live. Seemed like he couldn't
sca'cely walk, an' he stumbled, an'

mantel shelf, seemed like he never
would open his mouth to begin.
An .when at last he started to talk,
stid o' runnln' on an' laughin' an' pleg
gln' everybody like he always done, he
lifted up his face an' raised up his
hands, same ez you'd do, ef you was
startln' to read in public prayer. An'
then ne commencea:
Sez he an' when he started,, he
spoke so low down In his th'oat you
couldn't sca'cely hear him sez he:
Every year, my 'friends, I stand
befo' you an' look throo de open gate
Into the new year. An',' ses he, 'seem
like I see a long percession o' people
pass befo' me some two by two, sime
one by one, some horseback, some mule
back, some afoot some cryln some
laughin' some stumblln' ez they'd
walk, an' glttin' up agin', some Tallin
to rise no mo", some faces I know,
some strangers.'
An' right here, parson, he left on
for a minute, an' then when he com
menced again, he dropped his voice
clair down Into his th'oat, an' he
squinted "his eyes an' seemed to be
tryin' to see somethln' way off like, an
he sez, sez he:
But, tonight,' sez he, 'I don't Know
whar the trouble is,' sez he, 'but, look
hard ez I can, I don't seem to sea clair,
cause I see people darkened,' sez he,
an while I see people comin' an goin
an' I see de doctor's buggy on the road,
an' hear the church bell, an'- the or
gan, I can't make out nuthln' plain,
cause the sky Is overshaaueaereu oy a
big dark cloud. An' now,- sez ne,
seem like the cloud Is takin, tne snape
of a great big bird. Now I see him
smivad his wings an' fly into Slmkins-
vllle. an' while he hangs over it in the
skv seem to me I can see everybody
stop an' gaze up an' hold their breath
to see whore he'll light everybody
hm.ln' to see him light in their tree.
An' now oh! now I see mm comm
down, down, down an' now he's done
lit,' sez he. I recollect that expression
his. 'he's done lit.' sez he, 'in tne umu
of a tall maginolla tree a little piece out
town.'
Well, sir, when he come to the bird
licrKtin' In a matrinolla tree, a nine
niooi. nut o' town. I tell you, 'parson
