Often though. I stayed in the house nights because I felt the old people needed my company and because I always liked talk- ing with elderly persons.

It was during these set-ins that I heard so much of my em- ployer's past history. the history of the company he'd worked for for 56 years, and the history of the American" slaves many of whom he'd brought North after slavery was abolished, gave them names and put them on the pay- roll of his company. He was as full of stories as an egg is full of- meat and not even his best friends ever heard as many of them as I did. Those were the times when We got pretty close together- real intimate would be ll better phrase. And each of us told the other many things that we told nobody else.

To these talks Mrs. Hopgood listened with patience and per- haps inlereat I wouldn't know. I never remember her taking any part in-them. Nor did I ever hear her talk about herself in the past.

I recall that after shaving him one day he said, "Hand me my vest. Mac." I took it off the old- fashioned brass bed post where it had hung ever since he went to bed and handed it to him. Taking at roll of bills from the pocket he picked out a couple of tens and handed them to me with the runs k. "Here's a. tip for the many ti as you've shaved me."

Tile time came when I had a chance to make more money at a different job. I decided to accept so want to him to hand ill my resignation and give him o. couple of weeks to get someone to take my place.

"No doubt you can better your- self." ille old man told me. "But if you stick by me till I die I'll leave you enough money to keep you off skid row for the rest of your life. What do you say. Mac?"

I said "Yes." and that was that.

The call brought the informat- ion that the Judge was attending some important business meeting in New Yolk and that he was not expected home for a couple of days. When I relayed this news tomyboss,he shookhishead as if amazed but then said, "a couple of days, you say. Oh, well, I guess we can wait that long."

That same night he went into a coma and never regained con- sciousness. He was dead and buried by the time Judge Stone got home.

He was hardly cold in the grave before a great change come over the home I'd grown to love.

The big four whom I've already mentioned stayed over after the funeral and made life miserable for the rest of us. Ed Reynolds now occupied one of the best rooms in the house and boasted to the maid and mic that from now on. I'll -be things around here."

Mrs Hopgood kept aloof in her room with her sorrow, so that Reynolds and the others had things pretty well in their own hands the first few days.

Tile first clash came one mom- ing when Reynolds ordered me to drive him to Providence.

"Whose ear?" I asked.

"My car of course," he mapped. "What did I tell you a few days mo," ,

"I'll have to see the lady I told him. "I'm not driving you or anybody else without her con- sent.”

Reynolds made some incoherent reply as I aurted for MAdam's roonl. when I told her the etory. she said. "send that impoater to me at once."

I was dusting tho car in front of the garage when a red-faced and thoroughly whipped Reynolds put in his appearance and asked me if I'd please help him pack his bags and then drive him to the station.

"Certainly." I led. "Hie pleasure is all mine." and I meant it

At the station Reynolds said, "Aren't you going to help me with my luggage?"

"Not me," I said. "Get a red cap. or take them youroell." Then I slammed the door and drove away. I never saw Reynolds again. That evening. May the maid. in- formed me that she'd overheard Miss Armstrong and the lady dis- cussing ms while I was away with
