CHAPTER V. FE following Saturday Alan went to Darley, as he fre quently did, to spend Sunday. On such visits he usually stayed at the Johnstou House, a great, old fashioned brick buildiig that had survived the civil war and remiained untouched by the shot iad shell that hurtled over it during that dismal le rlod when most of the pollation had "refugeed fart her south." It land four stories and wis tot) big for the town, which could boast of only 2,000 inhab itiats, otte-third of whoi were black. However, the smallness of the town wits in the hotel's favor, for lit a place where no one would have patronized a second chits hotel opposition would have dilled a natural death. The genial proprie-tor aid his family were of the best lod , and the Joh.ston House was a sort of soelial clubhouse where ite chuitrcli 1eople held their affairs anaid the less serious element gave dances.
