carriage swept into view on the high-
way. It waa drawn by a spanking
team of baya, and driven by Jeff—an
unbearable and atuck-up nigger, that'a
what he waa! Didn't earn hia aalt!
Held hia chia up and paid no attention
to Fellx'a "good mawnln'."
Hla brass buttons glittered in the
sun and Felix would rather have worn
hia shining silk hat than a klng'a
crown.
The Judge and Miss Elisabeth were
ln the carriage. Miss Elizabeth waved
at him, and aomehow hia back ached
leaa and the tiny bladea of corn
trembled ln a vagrant breece. Many
timea had Felix gone to tbe Judge
and aaked to be his coachman.
"What!" exclaimed tbe practical
Judge. "Aren't you old Baxter's lazy
Felix?"
"Yaa, Judge; yas, eah, I wuk fuh
Mistah Baxtah—yas, sah! But I ain't
lazy—no, sah!"
"G'long off, Felix, g'long, g'long!"
said the judge testily, waving him
aside as he would a fly that annoyed
him. Miss Elizabeth bad stolen out
as he slunk away wi,th his ragged hat
ln his hand and his eyee bent moodily
on the ground.
"Never mind, Felix, you Jist keep
comln' and dad'll take you yet." So
he had kept heart and held on to his
dream. He stood looking after the
carriage aa it rolled along the hot
road, saw it wind up the hill and dis-
appear in the cool forest of oak.
He was still leaning on the handle
of the hoe gazing into space when Mr.
Baxter called sharply from the porch:
"Felix, get to work there!" And the
chop, chop of the hoe went toiling oh
Its way.
Time came when the corn was
higher than his head and he could
walk down the long, green aiales and
-be out of eight of the boss.
Time came when the proud Jeff was
laid low, for he lost his Job, and the
judge sent word to Felix he could
have his place.
He went to bed that night with a
song in his heart. No more would he
hoe tbe corn; no more would he fol
low the plow; tomorrow he would
•wear the blue suit with the brass but
tons; tomorrow he would wear the
shining hat—he would hold the reins
and drive the beautiful bays for Mlaa
Elizabeth and the judge.
When the morning came and the
sun shone down on the field of corn,
it also shone acrosa the tranaflgured
face of Felix. He stood at the en-
trance of the cool foreat, on hia way
to the judge'a house. He held the
ragged hat ln his hands and wore the
hickory shirt and patched overalls.
The chrysalis was full to bursting;
the blue suit nnd shining hat were
ln sight; his feet trod tbe field ely-
slan, for his dream had come true.
At Seventy-three.
Seventy-three. Ah, how the years
