He stopped at the Florist's and purchased a beautiful bouquet of roses. When he arrived at the house of the beautiful girl who was waiting for him, he presented her the roses. She was so overcome with joy that for the mo ment she forgot her dignity and threw both arms about him and kissed him right on the lips. He tore away and started for the door. She ran after him, caught him by the arm, saying: I did not mean to embarrass you. He said: Embar rass nothing! I am going after more owers. Now I am not writing this story for the owers, or the other either. I am writing it that you may know something about My Old Kentucky Home. Since I am a minister and trained to sermon ize, you will permit me to use a text. If I forget thee, 0 Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. (psalm 137: 5, The Bible is good enough as it is; but will you not allow me to put my bit of sentiment in the text by saying: If I forget thee, 0 'my Old Ken tucky Home' let my right hand forget its cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not My Old Kentucky Home' above my chief joy.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visiting the Sin: A Tale of Mountain Life in Kentucky and Tennessee The old bell was out of harmony with its surround ings. They ought to have put soul even into its cracked metal. Forest kings that had held court in these mountains for centuries shook their leafy crowns in derision at the barbarous efforts of the interloper. The girl whose hand pulled the cord and set the harsh tongue to vibrating was an interloper too; but she was not out of character with her surroundings. The tall, supple figure, the slow grace of movement, the dark, slumberous eyes, with possibilities - no, rather with promise of passion beneath their calm, were in keeping with the hills and the forest.

We see, for example, the most singular combination of simplicity and sagacity in the same person; simplicity in conventional respects, and sagacity in all that affects the absolute and real in life, nature and the human sensibilities. The rude man, easily imposed upon, in his faith, fierce as an outlaw in his conflicts with men, will be yet exquisitely alive to the nicest consciousness of woman; will as delicately appreciate her instincts and sensibilities, as if love and poetry had been his only tutors.
