John Uri Lloyd
(Continued from last week.)
Time and again had he riddenon
horseback into that vild'age unnoticed;
but now, he was stared at by men and
women, Hollowed by hooting boys and
preceded by sna'rl'ing ,dogs, for each
boy owned a dog, which, as his young
master fel'( into dine, sprang from cov-
er and joined the four -footed advance
gu'ar'd. Thus 'Cupe, with his snow-
white beard, his bleached woolly pale,
his shiny, ,wrinkied .face, his garment's
of patches- of many colours, was ush-
ered to the jail of 'S'fringtown Cbuu
ty. The troop of snappin'g dogs, that
included in its membership every
species, fro'in a short, ben'c'h -legged
fice to one gaunt coon hound, moved
in front; on either side of the prison-
er rode an officerof the law, while
behind came the troop , of urchins,
black and white. The advance -guard
needed no director; on they went to
the blind street that •led to the coun-
tyejail; into this the troop of dogs
turned, and simultaneously arranged
Themselves about the entrance to the,
jail. Too well did they dumb brutes
as they were, know the ending of the
journey of these horsemen. Then,
amid the clustering of boys and dogs,
the three horsemen dismounted and
pressed their way through the gap-
ing crowd. A heavy knocking at the
door brought the "Innkeeper," who
signed a paper handed him by the
sheriff; the form of the .black man
vanished within the gloomy struc-
ture; the two officers rembun'ted, and,
leading the riderless horse, turned
back toward the world without; the
boys and dogs scamp'ered after them,
and the back street was vacated by
every creature -with one exception.
The great, gaunt, old coon hound,.
with lank sides, made no Movement
when the others departed; he stood
with drooping ears and uplifted nose
silently facing the door by which the
negro had entered. His nostrils
sniffed the air, his ungainly tail slow-
ly wagged back and forth, his long,
red tongue -lolled from between two
ivory incisors, and from its tip an oc-
casional drop of spittle fell upon
the earth.
Motionless he stood with eyes set
upon the grim door; and then, dos-
ing them, he his nose straight up-
ward, and from his throat a • long,
plaintive howl arose that, beginning
low and weird, reached to a height
seldom heard from hound's throat,
and then, descending, died away in
plaintive sadness. Again the dog
howled and listened; and not hear-
ing a reply, again, louder than before,
he bayed the silent door. This last
appeal seemed to bring an answer,
but one that human ear could not
have caught, Turning from his place,
the .animal crossed the narrow street
andcarefully selected a bed of thick
dog -fennel beneath a clump of wild
black currant bushes, turned "three
times 'round;" sinking each time low-
er than before, and then dropped up-
on the earth and curled himself in-
to a heap, where with eyes closed, ,his
sentinel nose pointing toward the
new home of his •old master, he lay
motionless.
The jailer conducted Cupe to the
second story of the jail and halted
before one of the hack cells.
"If it am pertinent to de occasion,"
said Cupe, "before you go to de
trouble of opening de door, de prison-
er would ax a quistion."
"Certainly," said the jailer,
"For same folks dis here room ain
a'i'l that can be, expected, but for me,
if it am de same to you, a front room
am more to d'e taste."
The jailer thrust his key into the
lock,
"You know very well that Cupe ain
not going to make you no trouble, and
he don't ax 0o-" the negro stopped,
potbishand to his ear, 'as if listen-
ing to`a soend..unfieard by the jailer
—it was the mournful howl of his old
hound -then gave a. sharp, ,penetrat-
ing whistle,'aed continued his sen-
tence—Plummy, If de front room am
empty, it •won't cost you nothing
more to open and lock that door in-
stead of this here door. _A door am
a door to de man what opens it, but
there am reasons to de man what
rests in de •room for wanting tq be
behind one door instead .01 another."
"Well, I don't see what's the use
of growling at this room," said the
jailer.
"De fact ant, Marse Kindum," said
the negro, 'quick to observe that in
getting a reply he had gained a point,
"that 'Cupe am not growling alt de
room, but at de place de: room sits. in.
!I1 de sunshine and de moonlight could
come into de room you have select-
ed for 'Cupe, there wouldn't be no
sort o'f argunlest. But Cupe has seen
de sunshine and de moonlight all of
his life, and, he don't • know lust
how long a spell' (he'll be here. Yo'
have kn'o•wed Uncle 'Cupe •since yo'
was a chile, Ma'se Kindum; yoah
chilluns know him too, an' don't know
no 'halm ob him meibher."
The jailer • withdrew Ithe key, led
'Cupe to the front of the building and
opened one of the two front rooms.
With tattered hat,. in hand the neg-
ro 'bowed and countesied as only one
of the ;old black uncles of IKentucky
could do, but his profuse thanks were
largely lost' upon the jailer, who with-
out a word turned and departed.
Stepping to the barred window,
Cupe remarked: "De sunshine an' de
moonlight am monstrous thin when
these here windows ain considered,
an' it am cut into slices by de iron
bars, but Cupe hain't done nuffin' to
make 'him afeard of light :what shine
clear in de sky or froo 'cross bars ei-
ther. Besides, he avant ,to .talk to his
frien';" and pressing his sable face.
against the 'bars old Cupe gazed in-
tently up and down the street. "It
am monstrous strange," he murmured,
if Dgawge Washington hab gone
back on Citpe." lFresently his aged
eyes -caught sight of a weed in 'the
opposite fence corner that, as his
voice sounded, began to vibrate as if
uniform blows were being struck upon
it, an'd peering at the clump of 'dog -
fennel at its +base he Made out the
curled -up form of his 'faithful dog,
who , with beating tail, raised nose
and open eyes, was staring at the
face of his master, "Ylo' ani only e
d'awg," said 'Cupe, "but yo' have work
to do, Dgawge Washington, before
yourted git dull; put your 'head down
an' stop your tads, an'd 'keep your
sltrength ready fo' de time ob need•"
} CHAPTER XVI
Cupe in Jail
Thus the jail •life of these two
friends began; one con'ten'ted outside
the bars, chained by love to 'him -with-
in the cell; the other, seemingly not
less ,contented, behind the grating.
Loquacious Cupe and howling George
Washington bath grew silent under
the conditions of their Mate. 'T'he ne
pro became sullen .and refused to talk
concerning his "case"; and all the
spirit seemed to have left The dog, who
1ived on day alter day seemingly, with-
out food, 'but only seemingly, for the
hound of Kentucky knows how to
prowl at night. An attorney had
been, provided by the Court to defend
Cupe, bat the old darkey dedlined pos-
itively, although politely, td• answer
any questions or snake any statement
beyond the fact, that "as the Court
didn't git no advice from him t?begin
wid, it didn'tneed none t'eacV ,wid. If
de Count dotu't know its own business,
it ain't for Cupe t' teach it."
"But my .oibject is to help you."
"Then, Mr. Lawyer, yo' nitay as well
spare yeah breff, fo' Cupe don't need
no help. He hail* done muffin' to'be
'scused for, he hain`t.,stolen nor hid
no money, an' he dostit 'tend to hal
no excuses made by laywers for what
he hain't done."
"B'ut y' u admit that the money was.
stolen
"Yo' am 'de man what say so—not
me. Elf Cupe had said de money was
stolen he would help.. find de thief,
(But de 'facts am Cupe don't 'tend to
defy Prov'dence. De law am mighty,
,hut de spell dm mightier, and you kin
tear this "nigger's eyes out befo' he
will cross' de wore*,' oh de sacred
spell. De mon* am gone, Mr. Law -
yer, it yin not to be seen, an, it• wili off, of it -burn de flesh an' scotch de
stay gone until de sign conte right bone ob de ole nigger, no word will

'If the sign don't come right be-
Tore Court opens, you will go to

"Doh ecu honest hien. in de.pebiteu_
teary and t'ieves loose on de ocltsade,
Mr. ;Lawyer, an' yo' can't make 'Cupe.
try t' sarcumveut de signs by no sech
argyntent as dat."'
The days passed. A few weeks
would bring, the convening of the
'Court. Not one word would Cupe
sayy concerning the problem as to the
aIi ap,pearance of . the money, •hat
much -talked -about gold. At last the
,perplexed lawyer conferred with
Judge Efford, of S.tringtown,, concern-
ing •t'he case, and that personage made
a visit bo the jail and appealed to the
Stubborn ,pris!oner. IHe was ushered in-
to the cell of his humble friend, wh'o
appeared to be very much surprised
at the honour extended by the unex-
pected visitor, but quickly recovering'
his wonted presence df mind, his first
act was to apologise:for the barren-
ness of his temporary residence,
"Yb' mus' 'scuse de poverty .ob de
s'`'idings, M'a'se Eliflodd,, "cause d'e
fittings ob de room am fo' gussons
what don't keer fo' 'fur ries. "Ef yo'
had 'nounced de fac' dat yo' 'tended
to call, de conveniences would hab
been sect as de yocasiofi demands,"
"Never mind, the roam, Cupe; I
came to talk .with you."
" 'Deed, ara'se,; yo' 'sprise de ole
nigger; take de chair."
The judge •seated himself ' in the.
only chair the cell afforded, and Cupe
stood expectant 'before him.
"Cupe, your attorney informs nye
that you re'fused to give him informa-
tion concerning the lost money. Now
you know that I am your friend, and
I have come from Stringtown `.ex-
pressly to advise you to tell every-
thing you know about it."
' Yio' alit my free; Ma'se Elford,
'deed yo'. is, an' Cupe hab lc nown yo'
sense yo' muddah held yo' on her
knee. When 'Cupe first saw yo' yo'
was a .baby in de arm, an' now yo'
hair am white."
"True, Cupid, true."
"`An' no man in all dis county ever
say a word ob wrong'ginst yo', .Ma'se"
(Efford. Yo' am a fres' t' Cape, yo'
say, an' Cupe say, no bettah Irene
could Cupe (hab."
"Then, Cupe, do as I direct and be-
friend yourself."
"An' wlhat do yo' 'vase?"
"Tell your attorney all you know
concerning this natter. You are in a
serious position and in great danger
of going to the penitentiary for life,"
"Yo' doan mean it, Ma'se 'Elford?"
Lupe said appealingly,
"Yes, I mean ,that unless you tell
all you know and assist in recovering
this money it aria be my painful duty
to sentence you to the penitentiary."
"Et ain't ale .pen'tensh'ey,'Cupe don't
keer fo' de pentensh'ry, it am de sah-
ful advice yo gib. What 'hab Cupe
done to yo', Ma'se, fo' to make yo'
ax him to steal "
"Cupel" exclaimed 'the astonished
man, "`I ask you to steal! What do
you mean?"
"De money am not fo' (Cupe, et am
not fo' de lawyah, et am fo' de chile.

'Blessed are e the ileac the rain

"Au' so do Cupe. And when Cupe
Dosses t"elie; Ma'se, he doan- want no

"Of course not, ,Cupe." •

"God knows I do, Cupe."

ing up for de right of de orphan, he'
will .step out of de prison .shade into
de sunshine of Heaved."
'The man of ,law' was abashed and
silenced by the rebuke of the unlet-
tered negro. He sew that no Giving
man could influence ,the fanatical
slave. 'Rising, the judge 'hel'd out his
hand.
"Thank you, Marse (Elford for list-
ening 'to de argyme'n't' of de ole nig-
ger, but it breaks his 'heart to have
you, go without talking a drink of
milk or a drop ob swim's. Ho'w:so-
ever, you will excuse de barrenness of
de occasion, because Cupe didn't ex-
pect such company." -
The days passed swiftly. 'The en-
tire community became deeply inter-
ehted in .the pending trial. The large
sum of money that bad disappeared
from the iron chest in Cape's room
the night of the (hurricane would have
been a godsend to the attorneys, and
the county as well, could it have been
found, for it seemed ith'at the Corn
(Bug had left no legal heir. So Cupe's
anxious counsel strove to obtain a
confession, apparently for the pur-
pose .of saving tate negro from the
penitentiary. "If de gold am gone,
it am gone, and ,Providence doan want
no nigger to pot :in his mouth," per-
sisted !Cupe.. The key to the chest
had been found on Cape's, person, in-
deed he did not deny the' fact that the
gold had been in his charge to the
date. of its disappearance, but:° still he
disclaimed secreting the money. At
last the conviction became general
that, realising that his master could
not live 'until morning, Cupe had hid-
den the gold before ire had started for
the physician on that fearful New
Year night.
Immediately after the visit of Judge
]Elford his home Was ,sought by the
lank village clerk, who stood nearly
alone in that he, believed in •Cu•pds
imocence, '•and so expressed himself
to the (judge. Elford made no dec-
laration concerning his own opinion,
but said that his every argument had
been usedin an endeavor to incluse
the old negro to idisclose the location
of the treasure. The judge volun-
teered the information, however, that
Cupe most determinedly resisted
every appeal to ,assist in clearing him-
self from suspicion of having . com-
mitted the crime. He ,shook his head
when! the clerk asked concerning- what
might Ibe:the result to 'Cupe in case
he remained steadfast.
"The evidence is circumstantial, but
sufficient to 'convict him."
1'An'd is there no chance ?" asked
the self -constituted •champion.
"None," ,the judge replied; "at least
•nlone," he added, "that his attorney
will think about.'
The clerk looked up inquisitively.,
"No," Elford repeated, "none that•
will likely 'be thought about," He went
to his book -case, took ,from it a well
worn volume, opened it and laid it otr
!his desk. Then, as if in answer to a
voice calling 'h'im, put his hand to his
.ear and listened, "I s'h'all return in.
a few, moments," he remarked, and
passed from the room.
There was on intimation in the tonne'
rof the judge that a connection could
be drawn between the legal document
he had opened and the case of Cupe.
Apparently the book had been taken
dram the shelf with an olbeect that had
no 'bearing on the presence sof the
presence of the clerk. And yet' Mr.
Wagner felt that in this book was the
clue that Cupe's attorneyweeld over-
look and'that the judge could not holi-
onrably,'mention., He moved to the
open .volume, and glanced atthe head-
ing of the page. 'It was a repent' of

clerk, who needed but oneglance, and
then, before the judge :re-entered,
stepped back to his place.
'Ar'o alitts!ion was made by either .elan
to the open book.
"Should you like to visit Cope ?"
said the judge;' "you know hint ivell;
perhaps you can draw from him the
secret, and serve, the conim'onwealth
'where .others have, failed'
"Yes,' replied the clerk; s "I shall

The .clerk bowed himself out, the
judge closed and replace'd the boo!:,
:and then sat in meditation '"It is, the
only ,c'hance` for misguided old ,Cupe,
who Means no harts, he murmured;
"God forgive isle if I 'have done a

CHAPTER XVII.
"Too Show for a Coon and Too Fast.
for` a Possum"
A curious spectacle was that' of M'r.
IWiagner, who, after his interview with
'the judge, made repeated journeys l to
the prisoner in the ,S4ringto'wn coun-
ty jail. Astride • of a ]rule, his long
legs nearly dragging the earth, . the
man of mmsic.as well as 'letters pat-
iently' rode back and forth. The or-
der of the judge gavehim immediate
access to the cell of Cupe, and his
visits were invariaibiy of extraordinary
length. Not a little curiosity was ex-
cited in the mind of the jailer, who,
hb'wever, reoogn!iain'g that the order
of the judge 'relieved him fno•m ell re-
sponsibility, gave himself no personal
concern. The tongues of thevillage
gossips naturally were not less active
than were their minds; and every
morsel of evidence, imaginary or oth-

"killings" could not have excited the
igterest which this , mystery raised.
•Cupe was the subject of general com-
ment and s'pecula:fion, and could he
have known the remarks that were
made about him he would—provid-
ing he was as vain and fond of not-
riety as at that time were most of his
race—have been a happy "nigger."
Of these remarks, however, he rested
in ignorance, occupying his time as
