The last day of my month came and passed. It was Friday. 0n Saturdaymorning, about three o'clock, I started for home, and with rapid walkingI reached my destination about two hours after sunrise. When I reachedthe plantation I "cut across lots," and passed through the field whereWilson was at work with the hands. I approached, unobserved by him, andspoke to him. He glanced at me with astonishment, and in surprise asked,"What are you doing here?"
