"Sugar is sweet, en so is lioney, en le bady is sweeter lau eider, en so I'm; name I her for bo fc." Mary llenson laughed nt her servant's fancy, but she was an imlulgent mistress iind made no real objection, .so that Hannah's baby was henceforth known to Hazel Dell farm as "SugyHonev." To unstress nml maid, as to ni)ther
and child, the happy years went by with presage of the honors of war in htore for that .summer land and that sunny-hearted people. Yet when the jirst gun of Fort Sumpter sent its thunderous echoes round the world, it found Mary 's. father already the colonel of a 'regiment on its way to join his ..n.l hvieintr his plantation to

Hannah was making ready for her master a little room in the coiner of the yard called an otllee, which, with her own cabin, were the only buildings left standing. While thus occupied she was expounding her troubles to Sugy-Iloney, who was diligently scrubbing the lloor.

over her head she rtwicou to aim iru, shaking with sobs. "Speak, woman," said the colonel, hternly; "is she dead?" Hannah uncovered her face and looked at him. When he looked and

As she rose to her feet col. lienson
said: "Keep the money for yourself. Hannah." and with an imperious wave of his hand: "Never let me hear my daughter's name again." And that was all he would say. Hannah cooked far him, sav.- that he slept comfortably, ami tried in many wavs to arouse his old-time interest in

As he sat on the porch that evening, a silent, disconstdate tigure, he heard a jolly laugh and a baby's pretty cooing. It provel to be Suy-Honey and her new charge.

Ia the course of ten years the sons married Moabitish women, and both sons and Elimelech, their father, died in the land of Moab. leaving the three women widows.
