Den I come to wake you up, nilstls. "You did quite right, Tom. Tell your master to send Yellow Jane down to take Betsy's place." This old negrt'BB' religious Ideas were In tt fearful Jnmblo, She had doubt less heard the Hlble read, and the por tions that made most Impression on her mind took such hold of her vivid Imagination that the Incidents became I part of her life awl experience. She undoubtedly shaped her conversion by Paul's, and Elijah's translation gives the clew to the freak which Is the sub ject of my narration. After a little while I weut Into moth er's room. 8he had begun to dress her self hastily as soon as Tom had got far enough in his story for her to under stand the state of tblugs In the kitchen and was now ready to go with Mbble, the house servant, and superintend the cooking of breakfast. My curiosity prompted me to follow her Into the kitchen. When we entered the door we found Betsy and her family at the lower end of the room. The youngest child was on her lap, and the others were seated around on chairs and boxes. "Well, Betsy," said my mother pleasantly, "I thought your carriage would havecoine before this." The negress raised her head defiantly when mother began to speak and turn ed her face half away from her, but the tone and words were so different .-from what she expected that the rigid expression of her countenance softened as she replied, "De I.awd'11 take his own time, miatls." Mother said nothing more, but or dered Llbble to replenish the tire. I took a stand In one corner of the broad fireplace and furtively watched the group at the other end of the room. The older girls seemed to be In perfect sympathy with their mother, but the younger children, who had been kept subordination by the noveltv of In their mothers actions, were now fast becoming restive. The youngest soon yielded to the soporific effects of his warm bath, but I could hear mil and Jack begging to bo released, to which entreaties she would reply: "Sot still, won't ye? The carrlgo mout come. Den whar wud ye be?" When my mother had the breakfast cooked she very considerately left enough hominy, potatoes and gravy for the hungry children, and from the rush of footateps toward the fireplace after we left the kitchen we concluded Uiat either the mutiny waa beyond control or Granny Betay was not so far re moved from sublunary thlugs as to re fuse a savory ready cooked breakfast, even If It must bo eaten outside the gates of heaven. Bueh was her faith that she remali ed waiting at her post all day, but the children got beyond her control. The girls began to show signs of doubt when dinner was past and their moth- era hopes not realised. They became sulky and at last ventured to leave their seats and go about their usual du ties. By this time the smaller ones had tost all trace of their morning's ablu Hons and with faces begrimed with dirt and grease and their clothes soil ed were In a sad plight to begin a journey heavenward, My mother bore with Betsy's whim with the greatest patience. Yellow Jans came and prepared dinner and did all the work. Just before the aun want down my brother put his head inside the kitchen door and called out, "Say, Granny Hetsy, how about that 'foldeo carriage' now?" Betsy, who Aever lacked an answex on ordinary occasions, was not fn4oken this time by her ready wit. "De ljiwd has been try in' my faith, Marse Jorge," she re plied. "He's Jus' done It to see it Tie trus In' him." She sat patiently waiting till the sun was quite down, and then, as 1 was standing near a window through which I had a view of her, I saw her rise hastily, pull off her best clothea and quickly put on her work dress snd be gin to hustle around. I heard her aay to Yellow Jane, who had commenced preparations for supper: "You git omen ms kitchen, nigger. Dalr's no body but Betsy kin make coffee an' bta klta fltten for marster's supper. You nn cook for niggers and pore whits rotes, bnt I dns da cookln' In dls kitch en for shore." And then I knew Bet sy's dream was over.-New Orleans; Times.
