The Lucky Jade When Mr. Courtney and his daughter return home to The Beeches from a season in New York they bring with them a guest, Horace Ferguson, who is reputed to be a famous marksman. Horace is visiting The Beeches ostensibly to do a little hunting, but his real purpose in coming is to acquire the valuable jade ear of an old voo-doo idol. This ear is in the possession of Liza, Mary Ann 's old negro mammy, and is the source of the mysterious power which enables her to foretell future events. VVhile the house party, which Mrs. Courtney has ar- ranged to welcome Mary Ann home, is in progress, Liza is called upon to tell some fortunes. ller prophecies bode ill for John Endicott, Mary Ann's bashful lover, but apparently promise a rosy future to Horace. But before Horace is able to obtain the ear it suddenly disappears, and as it does not rest easily in strange hands, it brings a multitude of misfortunes down upon the house. Twenty-eight

Meanwhile, the Sheriff has been attempt- ing' to foreclose a mortgage on The Beeches, but is forestalled by John 's uncle, Col. VVaver1y. The Sheriff appears just in time to prevent the duel, and takes this opportunity to serve his papers.
