I don't say Mr. Buckley puts his on,' but he doesn't sit up like a post and not know what to do with bis hands, as some men do. He acts, even on occasions like that dinner, as if such things were an everyday affair. The maid, in passing around ther table, awk wardfy touched his elbow just as he was about to drinkfroni his glass of claret and shook some of the wine out on my best cloth. Now, I once saw the same thing happen to a man In fUchmond, and he promptly laid the blame where it belonged, to acquit him self of appearing awkward, but Mr. Buckley treated it with superb indifference- He was telling some story, and he did not even pause, but, taking a salt cellar, he poured some of the salt on the spot, and as necontinued to talk be kept rubbing it in as if he hardly knew what he was doing. The salt saved the cloth from a bad stain, and it was all done as a prince might bave done it. .... "You know the negroes can never for give the poor whites for rising into prominence, and Milly, when she was clearing away the things from the table that evening, called tj me.: : Come here, Miss Amy,' she said, with a sneer; 'everybody done lef deir napkins on de table 'cept dat po' white trash, en he ler his in his chair.'

Kitty Cosby drew a full breath when Mrs. Cranston paused. "And on top of all that you say he's good looking," she said, with a pretty smile. "Well, IT1 tell you, you'd bet ter send me back to Richmond. My folks have certain vague matrimonial plans for me. and I don't know whether I'm safe here or not.' I always did love to kick over the traces." ; Oh, do be sensible, Kitty V Well, you certainly have-got trouble ahead," said the girl,- more seriously.

Buckley looked at him and smiled. "Been getting your self into no end of rows overhome,' he remarked. "My mother tells me they sent you a death's head the other night and your father said somebody shot at you to the field." That's all so, George," said Crultt gloomily. "I reckon I've been shootto off my mouth a little too much.".. .. "I really thought you had more sense thait to report that desperate gang over there for ; moonshtotog," said George In a kindly tone. "Wouldn't a' done It ef I'd been sober," replied Trultt "They made me mad when I was full, an. I done "em all .the' harm I could." ; "Well, what are you going to do about it Jeff r - " - - That's what-1 come to ax yon, George.
