THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 18SJ5. A 't' " -" : 8ULWESBT ' Ao6 rmese short serial stories are copyrighted by Baclieller, Johnson & Bach Her. and are printed inThc Tribune by special arrangement, simultaneous with their appearance In the leading dally Journals of the large cities). . It was a. fine summer morning In one of the southern counties of Virginia, and In front of her own little house sat Aunt Belinda, Tinsley, paring potatoes. This worthy person was a colored woman, something under 40 years of age, light brown in color and comely to look upon. She was neatly dressed, and her surroundings, as well as the amiable and satisfied expression of her countenance, Bhowed that her circum stances were comfortable. In her ealler days she had lived Uith white people and had been cook nil iaundress. Retiring from domes tic service, she had married Dick Tins ley, an Industrious and worthy black smith, who, about two years 'before this summer morning, had died, leav ing his widow a small but well-built house ut more pretentious design than any -of the negro habitations In the neighborhood, a few acres of land, all lnid for, and, us itpirt had It, an In come, although there was not unanim ity in the aeli;linorhood regarding the amount-of this income, nor from what If 'was derived. But everybody knew that Aunt B"lindn. as she was called by her older friends and acquaintances, or Mrs. Tingsley, as some colored peo ple of progressive vlows now chose to designate her was a person to be en vied, because, so far as outsiders could determine, she had all she wanted. Aunt Belinda lived alone, and when Bhe had pared four medium-sized pota toes she knew these were enough for a meal, but she was considering whether or not it would be well to boll some more which might be cut and fried for supper, when, raising her eyes, she saw a man coming along the path which led to her house. At first she did hot recognize him, but In a few minutes she saw that he was Moses Ilpscomb, a man somewhat younger than herself and a little browner. She had known him all her life as a good natured, Jolly fellow, who, although spasmodically industrious and able to liei'form surprising feats of labor at liog-kllling time, or on other occasions when the work was suitably mixed with excitement, was In general, on ac count of his aversion to monotonous employment, as needy a man as ever strutted through a cake walk or twanged a. banjo. This morning, as has been said. Aunt Belinda did not at first recognize him. Ordinarily he dressed in garments quite "'Tala't a llusbun'," Said simple and ragged, but now he was at tired In grand style. On his head was a high, black silk hat, somewhat bat tered and rusty, with a broad band of crape around it; he wore a yellow waistcoat, much too lrage for him, and a blue coat with tarnished brass but tons, some of them missing, whloh was so small for him that he was obliged to throw out his chest very much to keep his shoulders back in order that he might not slit it along its spinal seam. His trousers were of brown linen, clean and very much ptarched, with the bottom of the legs frayed and worn In such a way that the starched threads hung over his well-blackened boots like Icicles over the mouth of a cavern. His collar was high and evidently unpleasant to Ills daws. His large cravat had once been all crimson, but portions of It had now faded Into brown, and from the out side pocket of his coat projected tine corner of a white silk handkerchief. As the visitor approached he took off Ills hat, .but before he could speak Aunt Belinda sprang to her feet. "You, Moses Iiipscomb!" she cried. "Wot you mean, comln' hyar rigged up like dat? Has you got the Infer ence to come hyar for de purpos' to pay 'tentlons to me?" A broad smile spread over the visage of the Jolly Moses. "Dat's It, 'zactly, Aunt B'llnda," said he. "I was kun Jurln' what to say to begin wld, an' dar you plumps right In, an' I hain't trot no trouble at all. I done come iyarl Aunt B'llnda, to pay 'tentlons to youse'f wld a view to matermony." Aunt Belinda sat for a few moments Pllently gazing at her visitor and then she broke out: "If ever I see a hedge hog In a beaver skin, I'sc lookln' at one now. What you mean, playin' dem fool tricks on me? Now, you Moses, you take oft dat coh't, wot b'lnngs to old Uncle Pete, an' was guv him by his mah'ster more'n forty years . ago, nn' wot Uncle Peto rents out fer. ten cents ter any colored man In dls county wot wants ter go a-cortln'. Don't yer pose I kriows dat coh't? Hain't I mended it more'n twenty times, an' didn't I sew dat little bit o' w'ite silk 'in de top of de pocket? An' you take off dftt high-top hat wot yer done bor rer from Uncle Abe Binder, an' dat yaller wesh,. wot was ole Kunnel West erman's, an' wot I done wash nn' Iron til) de ole kunnel die. Dem breqehos is yous, an' I 'spects dem shoes an' dat ar shirt 'an' -neck hank'chef, but you tnke off all de res' of dem tings 'fore yer says anudder word." Without hesitation Moses dlvestpd himself of hat, coat and waistcoat and laid them down on the grass by the path. "Is dem dar gole cult buttons you'B asked Aunt Belinda, severely. "No, dey hain't," said Moses, "dcy's .Buck Hlmmonses." ' "Take dem off!" said Aunt Belinda. "Now den," Bhe "continued, when her orders had been obeyed, . "you looks like Moses Lipscomb, on'y cleaner, which ain't no fault. You kin sot SllH MAM; wot you's come ter say," and she seated herself in her chair. With a grin, Moses sat down on the grass and embraced his knees with his arms. "I hain't got nuthln" ter say. Aunt B'llnda, 'cept wot I said afore. I done come pay 'tentlons to youse'f wld a view to matermony." "Wot yer got ter 'sport a wife wld, Mose3 Lipscomb?" she asked. "Hain't got nuthln'," answered Moses, his white teeth shining like a rift of light In a cloudy sky. "Bress my soul, Aunt B'llnda, ef ev'ry colored man In dis county wait 'til he kin 'sport a wife afore he marry her, whar all de marryln' be?" To this Aunt Belinda made no reply, but sat gazing, not at her suitor, but over the fields toward the east. Pres ently she spoke: "You Moses, you git off dat grass an' take away dein clothes an' den come back arter Bupper dls evenln' for yo" annuel'. Now git along mighty quick. I hain't got no time to fool wld yer now." Moses was well acquainted with Aunt Belinda's decision of character, and without making any remonstrances he gathered up the discarded clothes, bade her good morning and departed. Aunt Belinda watched him until he dis appeared behind a bit of woodland to the west and then she turned her gaze toward a field in the opposite direction. She had seen, before Moses left, another man approaching through this field. The newcomer was tall and rather spare of figure, and advanced with long strides, which soon brought him to the house. He was very well dressed, but not after the fashion of Moses. His hat was high, but It bore no untimely crape: his clothes were black, and fitted him very well; his cravat was white, and In his hand he carried a cane with a silver head. "Mornln', Sister Tinsley," said he; "I hopes I sees yer well?" "Mornln', Brudder Aaron," said Aunt Belinda; "ef yous got time ter stop, sot youse'f down hyar, and I'll fotch nn utlder cheer." He lifted his hand deprecating!)-. "Never, Sister Tinsley, never you wait on me. Dat's my part; I waits on you," and briskly stepping Inside he brought out a chair. The newcomer sat down, put his hat on the grass and his cane beside It, and Aunt Belinda, "It's a Keow." then, leaning slightly forward, clasped his two long black hands between his knees. He was many shades darker than Aunt Belinda, and several years older. His face was long, and rather thin. After a few remarks about the weather and the "craps" he proceeded to business. "Sister Tinsley," said he, "I knows you is a woman wot oil n't got no time to waste, an' l'se a man wld duties an' 'sponslbllltles. Now, I conies to de pl'nt wldout no scrapln' an' prancln', and I comes 4iere, Sister Tinsley, to ask youse'f to combine wld me In de wows o' wedlock; In udder words, Sis ter Tinisley, I asks you to marry me, It's a long time sonce you was a wld- der, Sister Tirudey, and' do Bible says 'tuln't right fer a man, nor a woman, to live 'lone, 'specially in a house like dls. wld no udder house nearder dan a quarter, mile. Now, you kin see fwr youse'f. Sister Tinsley, dat u man Hire me, wot's llvod In declty an' waited at a hotel an' u.s " "Dat's so," said Aunt Belinda; '"cuse me fer Interruptln' you, Brudder Aaron, but you is mistook 'bout me an' de Bible.

"Dat's mighty true!" exclaimed Aar on, "trtlghjty true. Sister Tinsley; dare Isoneitlng wot you wants, and dat is a f unt-rate husban,." "Taint a ihusban'," said Aunt Be llndy, "It's a koow."

Yes," said Aunt Belinda, "wot I wunts 4s ia keow, l'se bin a long time wldout one an' I don' wan" to be wld out one no longer; so ef I was ever to git anudder Hiusban' I'd git one as would fust give me a keow.

With his face a little longer than be fore Aaron rwsumed his survey of the landscape. "Wut kin" o' keow you want3, Slr.tor Tinsley?" Ml a-skod.

Don' wan'a no scrawny gallon keow wld no more butter In de milk dan a bucket o' w'ltewash. Has you gat a keow, Brudder Aaron?" Aaron folded his arms, knitted his brows and turned this glance upon the ground. "When you wan's yer keow?" said he. "Soon's I kin git her," answered Be linda, "l'se bin a long time wldout one, an' I wanlts iter have some buttermilk dis week." Suddenly a ll&fht flashed Into the countenance of the contemplative Aaron ind he looked up. 'Did you ever see my llttl place over th' udder side of de crik, Sister Tinsley?" ' The widow tfliook her head. Aaron looked satlsaed. Well, len," said he, "I'ne got some keows dar, two good keows, one Ald'ney an' one brack an' wl'te. Calhn't say much for de Ald'ney: she ain't fresh. Would a funt I'ate brack an' white koow suit yer, Sister Tinsley?" "Dat 'd suit me tip top," answered Belinda. "Whim kin yer fotch her?" FoWh her enny time," said he; "de sooner de better. Fotch her terday." "AH right, Brudder Aaron," said she, 'you come 'long wld yer keow dis even- In' 'fore supper; min' dat, 'fore supper, 'caa I wants de milk." Aflber. a few remarks about his inten tions and the propriety of the conjugal plan he proposed, Aaron departed, as serting that he must lose no time, for the little iplace he owned was three or four miles away. Aunt Belinda smiled to herself when he left. "De place you owns!" she said, aloud. "I reckons all de lan' you owns could be got Inter a flower pot." (To Be Continued.) LIFE IS II A Pain-Racked Sufferer Tells an Interesting Story. How He Was Tortured for Years und Finally Cured by Mini) oil's Remedy. Charles "Wark, of 14 North Twenty- fourth street, Philadelphia, has been a constant sufferer from rheumatism for years. He was cured by the use of Mun- yon's Rheumatism Cure. This is ins story: . "I was afflicted with rheumatism in the right shoulder and suffered the most excruciating agony. Sharp shoot ing pains darted through It so Intense I could not sleep nights. Even the weight of the bedclothes was moro than I could bear; neither could l lie on tne right side or on my back. Life became a perfect burden to me. I could not raise my hand to my head, and when I attempted to put on my coat or any article of dress, the torture was enough to drive me wild. Many remedies were suggested and tried, but none did me the slightest good, and I began to de spair of ever being able to obtain re lief. Some time ago, however, I pro cured a bottle of Munyon's Rheuma tism Cure. It afforded me relief after the first few doses, and by the time the little 25-cent bottle was gone I was entirely free from pain. I have had no return of my old enemy, and I feel satis fled I am permanently cured. It seems bo wonderful I can hardly realize It, and can only show my appreciation of the merits of the cure by recommend ing It to other sunerers. Munyon's Rheumatism Cure Is guar anteed to cure rheumatism In any part of the body. Acute or muscular rheu matism cured In from one to Ave days It never fulls to cure sharp, shooting pains In the arms, legs, sides, back or breast, or soreness In any part of the body In from one to three hours. It Is guaranteed to promptly cure lameness, stiff and swollen joints, stiff back, and all pains in the hips and loins. Chronic rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago or pain In the back are speedily cured. Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem edy company, of Philadelphia, put up specifics for nearly every disease, which are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25 cents a bottle.
