3fviH JEFFS TESTIMONY WUlard Trevor, ft young man In Alabama, on opening his morning mall read ft letter which astonished him. It contained a notification that be hnd sued for breach of promise. His father had recently dltd and left hhn the care of several children, the sons and daughters of a second wife. Trevor bad secured the services of a womnn to take care of the children, but being dissatisfied with her hnd discharged bef, A lawyer had written that Martha Broadhead, the complainant, would listen to an offef tvlth ft view to compromising the suit At the moment Trevor was fending thla letter his body servant, Jeff, named fof the future president of the Southern Confederacy, came Into the room with hla master's boots that he had shlned. "Jeff," said Trevor.

"What do you suppose Miss Broadhead has done? She's sued me for breach of promise." "Yes, sah." "She wishes to extort money. She will attempt to prove that I made love to her while she was here In charge of the children. I'm (joins to call upon you to toll tbo court tlint, though you were In tbo house nil the time she was here, if I had been sweet on her you would hnvo noticed it and that you never saw any courting going on between us." "Yes, sab." When Jpff was called to the stand by Trevor's counsel he testified as his master hnd indicated and was about to step down from the witness box when Miss BromlbcmVs counsel called upon him to remain for cross examination. he said patronizingly and intending to Ingratiate himself with tho witness before attempting to get any information out of him that would Injure his master's case, "you find Mr. Trevor a very good master, don't you?" "Berry good mastah, sah." "You say that you are a house servant?" "Yes, sah." "And that you never saw your master sitting In the parlor or on the gallery with Miss Brondhead?" "No, sah.

I didn't ncbber see mars' sotten In de parlor or on de gallery with Missy Broadhead, but I sec him 'on de' gallery oncet talktu' with Missy Broadhead." "You saw Mr. Trevor on the gallery talking with Miss Broad bond, oh? Well, what was he snylnK to her? "He tolb Miss Brondhead ef ebber he cotched her slappin' one ob de chllluu gib licr de walkln' papers." The spectators littered, and the Judge called them to order. The attorney colored a bit, then proceeded. "How was your master in the habit of his evenings?" "Sometimes he went out to call on de neighbors, and sometimes he sot in de library, readln'." "And how did Miss Broadhead spend her evenings?" "Missy Broadhead sho put do chlllun to 'bod'." "About what time did she get the children to "Dunno, sah. I nebber see her up but oncet." "What was she doing then?" "Missy Broadhead went to de library where Murs' Willard wag sottin' readln 1 a book," "Well, what happened between them?" "Missy Broadhead says, says she: gwluo to run ovnh to Missy Cuthbert's fo' a few minutes.

If gny ob do chlllun wakes up I'll be back In time BO you won't, be And mars' says; 'Dat all hurry I was gwlne to Missy Cuthbert's myself to see her cullud gal, Peggy, so I follered Missy Broadhead as fa' as de crossroad, and she turned on de crossroad. Since she wasn't gwine to Missy Cuthbert's I Jlst think I'd see whar war gwine, so I follered her down de road, she met de oberseer."
