"Ain't that about yore rlcollectlon o"
how he expressed It?" said McMonlgle,
pausing now In his recltul.
"Yas," said old man Taylor, "he Bald
It three times, I recollect that ez long
ess I live an" the third time he said 'the
yaller hair' he let his arms fall down at
his side and he sort o" staggered back
'ards, an' turned round to Johnnie liurk
on' sez he: 'Help me out, please, sir,
I feels dizzy.' Do you rlccollect how
lie said that, Dan'l?
"But you're tellln, the story. Don't
lemme Interrupt you."
"No, Interruption, Pete. You go on
an' tell It the way you rlccollect It. I
see my pipe has done gone out while
I've been talkin'. Tell the truth, I'm
most sorry that you all started me on
this story tonight. It gives me a spell
o' the blues talkin' It over.
"Puss me them tongs back here, doc
tor, un' lemme git another coal for my
pipe. An' while I've got 'em I'll shuke
up this Are a little. This stove's ez
dull-eyed and pouty ez any other
woman ef she's neglected.
"Hungry, too, ain't you, old lady?
Don't like wet wood, neither. Sets her
teeth on edge. Jest listen at his quar'l
while I lay it In her mouth.
"Go on, now, Pete, an' tell the par
son the rest o' the story. 'Tain't no
more'n right thet a shepherd should
know all the ins and outs o' his flock
ef he's goln' to take care o' their needs."
"You better finish It, Dan'l," said
Taylor. "You've brought It all back
a heap better'n I could a-done It."
"Tell the thruth, boys, I've got It
clown to where! hate to go on," replied
McMonlgle, with feeling. I've talked
about the child now till I can seem to
See her little, slim figure comln' down
the plank walk the way I've seen her a
hundred times, when all the fellers set
el u" out In front o' the sto'es would slip
In an' git their coats on an' come back
I've done It myself an' me a grand
father. "Go on, Pete, an' finish It up. I've
got the taste o' tobacco smoke now, an'
my pipe is like the stove. Ef I neglect
her she pouts.
"I left off where ol' Proph finished
prophesyln' at the old year party at my
house three year ago. I forgot to tell
you. parson, thet Mrs. Meredith, she
never come to the party an' Meredith
hisself he only come and stayed a few
minutes, an' went home count o' the
ol' lady beln' by herself so they wasn't
neither one there when the ol' nigger
Well, Sir, I Loaned It
epnke. An' ef they'd ever been told
what he said I don't know though we
have got a half dozen smartles in town,
thet would 'a' busted long ago ef they
hadn't 'a' told it I don't doubt.
"Go on, now, Pete, an' finish. After
Proph' had got done talkin' of co'se
hand shakln' commenced, an' every
body was supposed to shake hands
with everybody else. I reckon, parson,
there knows about that but you might
tell It anyhow."
"Of co'se, parson he knows about the
tiandxhakin'," said Taylor, taking up
the story, "because you was here last
year, parson. You know that It's the
custom In Slmpklnsville, at the old
year party, for everybody to shake
hands at twelve o'clock at the comln' In
of the new year. It's been our custom
time out o' mind. Folks thet'U have
some fallin' out an' maybe not be
epenkin' '11 come forward an' shake
linnds an' make up start the new year
with a clean slate.
"Why, ef 'twasn't for that, I donne
What we'd do. Some of our folks is so
techy an' high strung an' so many o'
ein kin. which makes it that much
worse thet ef "twasn't for the Now
Year handshaking, why in a few years
we'd be ez bad ez a deaf and dumb
asylum.
"But to tell the story. I declare,
Dan'l, I ain't no hand to tell a thing so
c to bring It befo' yo' eyes like you can.
I'm feerd you'll have to carry It on." .
And so old man McMonlgle, after
affectionately drawing a few puffs from
Ms pipe, laid it on the fender before
him, and took up the tale.
"Well, he began as usual, "I reckon
thot rightly speakin' this is about the
fend of the first chapter.
"The handshakln' passed oft friendly
enough, everybody Jlnln' in, though
there, was women thet 'lowed thet they
)iad the cold shivers when they struck
the city feller's hand, half expecttn' to
tackle a btrdclaw. An' I know thet wife
Un' me although understand, parson
we none o' us susplcloned no harm we
was glad when the party broke up, an'
everybody was gone the nigger's
words seemed'to ring In our ears so.
"Well, sir, the second chapter o' the
Utory I reckon it could be told in half a
dozen words, though I s'pose it holds
misery enough to make a book.
"I never would read a book thet
didn't end right; in fact, I .don't think
the law ought to allow sech to be
printed. We get enough wrong
endln in life, an the only good book
makln' 1s, in my opinion, Is to ketch
VP all Bach stories a-n work 'em over.
"Ef I could sot down an' tell May
Day Meredith's etory to some book
writer thet'd take it up where I leave
off, an' bring her back to us, she could
even be raised from the dead In a book
ef need be, my Lord, how I'd love to
read It, an' try to b'lleve it was true!
I'd like him to work the ol' nigger In
at the end, too, ef he didn't think his
eelf above It. A ol' harmless, half
crazy nigger, thct's been movin' round
amongst us all for years, Is ez much
missed es anybody else when he drops
out, nobody knows how. I miss Proph
-v? If p lir sK
5TRT
Jest the same ez I miss thet ol' struck-by-llgtnln'
syeamo' tree thet Jedge
Towns has had cut out of the co't-house
yard. My mother had my gran'pa's
picture framed out o' syeamo' balls,
gethered out o' that tree forty year
ago.
"But you see I'm makln' every ex
cuse to keep from goln' on with the
story, an' ef it's got to be told, well
"Whether somebody told the Mere
diths about the nigger's prophesy, an'
they got excited over It, an' forbid the
city feller the house, I don't know, but
he never was seen goln' there after
that night, though he stayed in town
right along for .two weeks, at the end
of which time he disappeared from the
face o' the earth, an' she along .with
him.
"An' that's all the story, parson.
That's three year ago lackiu' two
weeks, an' nobody ain't seen or heard o'
May Day Meredith from that day to
this.
"Of co'se girls have run away with
men, an' it turned out all right but
they wasn't married men. Nobody
s'picioned ho was married fell It was
all over, an' Harry Conway he found it
out in St. Louis, an' It's been found to
be true. An' there's a man living In
Texarkana thet testifies thet he was
called in to witness what ho b'lleved to
be a genuine weddln', where the
preacher claimed to come from Little
Rook, an' he married May Day to that
man, standln' in the blue cashmere
dress she run away In. She was mar
ried by the 'Piscopal prayer book, too,
which is the only thing I felt hard
against May Day for consentln' to she
being well raised, a hard shell Baptist.
"But ' co'se the man thet could git
a girl to run away with him could easy
get her to change her religion."
"Hold up there, Dan'l!" interrupted
old man Taylor. "Hold on there! Not
always! It's a good many years sense
my ol' woman run away to marry me,
but she was a Methodist, an' Methodist
she's turned me, though I've been
dipped, thank God!"
"Well, of co'se, there's exception.
An' I didn't compare you to the man
I'm a-talkin' about, nohow. Besides
Methordist an' 'Piscopal are two differ
ent things," returned McMonlgle.
"Cut tellin' my story or at least
sense I've dono told my story, I'll tell
parson all I know about the old nig
ger, Proph', which is mighty little.
"It was jest three days after May
to the Old Nigger.
Meredith run away thet I was rldin'
through the woods twlxt here an' Clay
Bank, an' who did I run against but old
Proph' walkln" along In the brush
talkin' to hisself ez usual.
Well, sir, I stopped my horse an'
called him up an' talked to him, an'
tried to draw foim out ast him how
come he to prophesy the way he done,
an' how he knowed what was comln',
but, sir, I couldn't get no satisfaction
out o' him not a bit. He 'lowed thet
he only spoke ez It was given him to
apeak, an' the only thing he seemed in
terested In was the stranger's name, an'
he ast me to say It for him over an'
over 'he repeatln' It nfter me. An'
then he ast me to write it for him, an'
he put the paper I wrote it on in his hat.
He didn't know B from bulls foot,
but I s'pose he thought maybe If he
put It In his hat it might strike In."
'Like ez not he 'lowed he could git
somebody to read It out to him," sug
rested the doctor.
'Like ez not. Well, sir, after l had
give him the paper he commenced to
talk about huntln' had a bunch o
birds in his hands then, an' give 'em to
!. 'lowln' all the time he hadn't had
much luck lately, 'count o' his pistol
beln' sort o' out o' order. 'Lowed thet
he took sech a notion to hunt with his
pistol thet twasn't no fun shootln" at
long range, but somehow he couldn't
depend on his pistol shootln' straight.
'Took It out o' his pocket while he
was standln' there, an- commencea
showln' It to me. An', sir, would you
believe it? While we was standln'
there talkin' he give a quick turn,
fired all on a sudden up Into a tree, an'
befo' I could git my breath, down
dropped a squlr'l right at his feet.
Never see sech shootln' In my life. An'
he wasn'Uno more excited over It than
nothln'. Jest picked up the squlr'l ez
unconcerned ez you please, an', sez he;
'Yas, she done at that time but she
don't always do It. Can't depend on her.'
"Then, somehow, he brought It

n', sir, would you believe It? No llvln"
soul has ever laid eyes on ol' Prophet
from that day to this.
"I'm mighty feerd he's wandered
way off sum'ers an' shot hisself acci
dentally an' never was found. Them
revolvers Is mighty resky weapons ef a
person ain't got experience with 'em.
"So that's all the story, parson.
Three days after May Day went he
disappeared, an' of. co'se he's llvln'
along at Merediths all these years, an'
being so 'tached to May Day, and
prophesying about her like he done,
you can see how one name brings up
another. So when I think about one I
seem to see the other."
Didn't Harry Conway say he see the
ol' man In St. Louis onc't an' thet he let
on he didn't know him wouldn't an
swer when he called him Proph?" said
old man Conway.
One o' Harry's cock an' bull stories,
nswered McMonlgle. "He might o'
saw some ol' nigger o' Proph's build,
but how would that old nigger git
there? anybody's common sense would
tell him better'n that. No, he's dead
no duubt about that."
"I suppose no one has ever looked
for the old man?" the parson asked.
"Uh, yas, he's been searched for.
We've got up two parties an' rode out
clalr Into the swamp lands twlc't but
there wasn't no sign of him.
"But May Day nobody has ever
went after her, of co'se. She left purty
well escorted an' ef her own folks never
nllered her, 'twasn't nobody else's busi
ness. Her mother ain't never men
tioned her name sense she left to no
body." Yas," Interrupted the doctor, "an'
some has accused her o' hard-hearted-
riess, but when I see a woman's head
turn from black to white in 'three
months' time, like her's done, I don't
say her heart's hard, I say it's broke.
'They keep a-sendin' for me to see
her, but I can't do her no good. She's
failed tur'ble last six months.
"Ef somethln' could Jest come upon
her sudden to rouse her up ef the
house would burn down an' she have to
go out 'mongst other folks or ef they
was some way to git folks there,
whether she wanted them or not
Tell the truth, I been a-thlnkin'
about somethln. It's been on my mind
all day. I don't know ez it would do,
but I been a-thlnkln' ef I could get
Meredith's consent for the Slmpkins
vllle folks to come out In a body
"Ef he'd allow It, an' the folks would
be willln' to go out there tonight for
the old year party take 'tholr fiddle an1
cakes an' things along, an' surprise her
she d be obliged to be polite to 'em;
she couldn't refuse to meet all her
friends for the midnight handshakln',
an' it might be the savin' o' her. Three
years has passed. There's no reason
why one trouble should bring an
other. We've all had our share o
trials this year, an' I reckon everyone
o' us here has paid for a tombstone In
three years, an' I believe ef we'd all
meet together an' go In a body out
there
"Ef you say so, I'll ride out an' talk
It over with Meredith. What's your
opinion, parson?"
"My folks will Join you heartily, I'm
sure, replied the parson, warmly.
They did expect to have the crowd
over to Bradtield's tonight, but I know
they'll be ready to give In to the Mered
Iths.'
And this Is how it came about that
the Merediths' house, closed for three
years, opened its doors again.

ferer from rheumatism. I had the dis
ease for over twenty-five years, and tho
torture I have undergone the past quar
ter of a century no pen could describe.
Every attack I had, my entire body was
racked with pain, and I was In a terri
ble condition. I tried doctor after doc
tor and every remedy that could be sug
gested, but all with the same result.
None of them ever gave me the slight
est relief. I had hud the disease so
long that it had become chronic when
I began to use Munyon's Rheumatism
Cure. It was not long before I felt a
great deal better, and after using It a
short time the rheumatism left me.
