She looked puzzled, shook her head, put her hand behind her ear. He tried again. I love you. Joy broke over her face and he Could see the color sweep clear to her brow. She turned to his mother. He could see her say, He says he loves me! Fluvanna nodded at him delightedly. Why, Mother wanted this too! Ellens eyes were on him; he could see her mouth tremble. She stretched out her arms. The boat ing Slaves for the American Colonies, Mixed Variety The negro in Our History, by Carter G. Woodson, says: The source of these negroes (drawn in securing slaves for the American Colonies) will be of much interest. They came in the main from Guinea and the Gold Coast. Very few came from the g West Coast of Africa. The nations did not control that part of the continent. Among these slaves were a few of the most intelligent of the Africans, the Senegalese, with an infusion of Arabic blood. They were especially valuable for their work as mechanics and artisans. Then there were the Madingoes, who were considered gentle in demeanor but prone to theft. The Coromantees, brought from the Gold Coast, were hearty and stalwart in mind and body. For that reason they were frequently the source of slave insurrections. It was said, however, that the Coromantees were not revengeful when well treated. Slavers brought over some Whydahs, Nagoes and Paw Paws. They were much desired by the planters because they were lusty, industrious, cheerful and submissive. There came also the Gaboons. They were physically weak and consequently unsuited for purposes of exploitation. The colonists imported, too, some Gambia negroes, prized for their meekness. The Eboes, brought from Calabar, were not desired, because they were inclined to commit suicide rather than bear the yoke of slavery. The Congoes, Angolas and the Eboes gaye their masters much trouble by running away. Among the negroes thus imparted, too, there were a few Moors and some brown people from Madagascar. good-size- down-strea- . I envy million&Jre no more. .

Numbly he felt that there was something he wanted to ' say, that Ellen might say, yet they bandied these inanities back and forth. The moments were ' passing.'
