The load passed through the door and tended in the fleeing negro's side. The- facts were made known to George but he climbed back upon his chair and began to call out, "Git -yo' partners fur de second quadrille," and on the elde, "An de fust nigger dat leaves ' dls house -will git de tother barretr ' :. . ' ... - - The dance went' merrily on. Frog" George is not a stickier , for fashionable dress. He cares very lit tle about what he wears himself and much, less-about what others wear. His inter-tain-minta are open to one and all if the guests take their money and spend it freely- for his refresh ments.. It "was Christmas week the' night that" Martha Gable lay in the city police statkm that Frog gave his master frolic. He went tiuntlng early in the day to catch rabbits for his chicken salad; and his--sister, Martha, sut an junrttrT guest uip ana aown tne back with her razor land was arrested and brought to townlBut George took charge of the party; and carried it to a most successful - tend. He never changed his liunting lcjothes. Iate. in the night The ponce wagon drove up to Frog's door and went in to search for Joe Ffrfereman, a big black, negro who had carved up one of his fellowmen a lew days before. As the officers entered the door an Interesting sight greeted them. Frog stood in a split bottom chair. In the poverty-stricken room, holding a little oil lamp high over his head and call- "First couple forward and back again,? shouted Frog. Two banjos were rattling off a merry tune in the opposite corner. Twenty-five couples were on the floor and they nil seemed to be having a Jolly time. They danc ed as only the negro can dance. In the corner close to the door sat an old- bureau from which the glass had disappeared and nothing but the frame remained. High on top of this sat a chicken rooster and two hens. Below, on the edge of the bureau prop er, sat other chickens, all perched for 'the night. Th rooster 'and two hens looked down on the dancers in silent contempt but seemed interested in the boss of the ranch as he called from his lofty perch. A most interesting story would be a detailed account of one of Frog's to-do's Just as it 4 pulled off.
