John Uri Lloyd
(Continued from last week.)
While it is• true that his counsel
had, been appointed Vo 'defend him, it
was no less true that this same attor-
ney was deeply in'teres'ted in uncover-
ing the hidden gold. iThe lawyer's.
fees would unquestionably lye greater
if he could be the means of d'is'cover-
ing the money, and his prolfess'ional
reputation would also be increa'se'd.
So, at last, after all attempts to in-
duce the accused to unbosom himself
had failed, he decided that he would
search the garments of the negro for
evidence of some description, for,
possibly, 'Cope had something secret
about his person that might shed
light upon the snbljeet. The jailer,
on being questioned, said. that the
only search, so far, had been of the
pockets of the old slave, and that
nothing was found therein save a
knife and some unimportant trinkets.
"I shall bring a change of garments
for the old fool," said the lawyer,
"and have the patches of the ragged
ones ripped apart,"
' That afternoon Cupe heard a gentle
rap on his door; a key was awkwardly
thrust into the lock and hesitatingly
turned. The door swung back, and
in the doorwoy stood the youngest
child of the jailer, a little boy of
eight. "Uncle 'Cupe," said the child,
"the front door downstairs is un-
locked, and you can go home," The
old darkey patted the urchin's head.
"De sunlight ant monstrous sweet,
honey, but de .shade am s'lubrous,
chile Who tole yo' t' open de doah
fo' Cupe,?"
"I jest heard pap and the lawyer
talk and say that this would be the
last day you would be here, and 1
thought I would let you out."
"Yo' did, chile, yo' did! an' so it
ani t' he de las' day! Go back, honey,
an' doan yo' ne'bbah open no uddah
jail doahs; keep yoah han' off de
key."
"You are goin' to have a new suit
of clothes, 'Uncle Cupe,"
"Who tole yo' so, •chile? Cupe
• doan wan' no new clo's.
"Mr. Putter will bring them to -day,
and take away your old patches."
"Take de key out ob dat doah,
chile, an' hang et back on de hook
yo' took it from an' don't yo' say
nuffin t' nobody 'bout tryin' t' let
Cupe out ob de jail, 'case yoah pap
vont like t' hat yo' tole it. Shet de
doah, honey, Cupe am bery comfor'-
hle heah, fo' de shade am good fo' de
'piexion." The negro again patted the
head of the innocent little one and
gently closed the door. The key
was turned, withdrawn, and silence
reigned again in the cell of Cupe, who
stood for a time meditatively.
"An' so ley gw-inc t' take away de
ole clo's, an fa' what? Dah ain't no use
in runnin' no risk, Cupe; bettah, yo'
fix de ntabtah now,"
.Stepping to the grated windoiw, he
east a glance across the street. "Yo'
ant in yoah place, ,Dgawge 'Wash'n't'n
am yo' ready fo' yoa'h duty ?" The
dog raised Itis head, stood upright and
cast a joyful glance at his master.
"Stan' still till 1 tole yo' to come,
Dwawge—Stan' still,"
Grasping the knee of one of his
trousers with his hand, old Cupe gave
a bright yellow patch a jerk that
tore it from the brown garment be-
nea't'h, which, strangely enough, prov-
ed to be perfectly soumd.'Then he op-
ened a slit in one edge of the patch
and removed from it a tiny iron key,
"Yo' is safe now, but yo' will be safah
evict Denali," said he; then he replaced
the key in the fragment of cloth and
rolling it compactly, tied the package
firmly with a string that was drawn
frohn beneath another patch. Stepp'ing
to the barred window again, Cupe
spoke to the dog, who, expectant,
stood in the polsition he had assumed
upon first. hearing ,tate voice of his
nn aster,
"Come heah, Dgawge," said Cupe;
"y'o' hab work t' do now; come heah
yo' noun'." The dog advanced 'slow-
ly, until he stood with upturned face
beneath the little windrow, "Yo' see;
dis heath jew'l?" said Cupe, holding
the roll beneath the bars; the dog
gave a low whine. "Yo' am t' carry
it .hodne, Dgawge. Go home wid it!"
commanded 'Cupe emphatically. He
flipped the parcel into the air, and it
fell into the open m'ou'th of t'he faith-
ful frienid. "Go home t' Dinah'1" com-
manded his masher again; and in-
stantly the brute turned about, gave a
leap that carried him to the oppos'i'te
fence, the next carried hirci over the
fence, and then he vanished' in the
weeds in the direction of S'trin'gtdwn.
Alt the dog disappeared' the negro
turned his ,gaze diagonally through
the grating, and caught sight Of the,
attorney, who had just rounded the
corner of the blind street. He was ad-
vancing toward the jail,' and beneath
his arm carried a "store" wrapped
package.
"Yo' kiri come in of •yo' wants' t',
Mr. Lawya'h," 'chuckled the negro;
"de front dioah am unlocked, an' yo'
needn't knack. Yo' a'm welcome t'
give Cupe a new suit ob olo's now.
Ya, ya," he chuckled;' "yo' am a
smart man, Mr. Lawyah, but same
s'mah't men atn, like some d'awgs, an'
caint catch nuffin. Dey amt too slow
fo' a coon an' too fas' fo 'a 'p'o'ssum."
CHAPTER XVIIS.
The Trial o'f Cupe.
And so old Cupe faced the day of
his trial. Obstinately he held to his
illogical course to the last m'omen't,
Perverse in his determination to make'
no defence, faithful to his inherited
and loved super.s'ti•tions, careless :df the
effect his fanaticism night have on
himself, heedless of the pleadings and
scoldings alike of friend and attorney,
with dogged ind'ifferen'ce he maintain-
ed the position he had taken from the
moment of his arrest. The search of
his old garments stied no light on the
cause of his taciturnity, and when the
case was called in 'count the defence
could offer no rebutting argu:me» t to
refute the strong but circumstantial
change of the prosecutor.
When Cupe was ushered into the
court room, Judge -Elford, cold and
solemn, occupied the chair of justice;
the twelve jurymen, the majority of
then 'white-haired farmers, each with
a box of sawdust at his feet, sat owl -
like in the jury -box; the contending
attorneys in front of the judge frown-
ed from opposite sides of a small
table that held two piles of 'books;
before the table rested an oblong iron
chest, riveted with hammered nails
that bound to its side several heavy'
crossed iron hoops, The hinges of this
hox were of hand-w'orlcmnns'hip, and
the massive clasp in front was ham-
mered iron.
,But few witnesses were called in be-
half of the commonwealth, and none
for the defence. The witnesses sat on
the front bench, anid, contrary to
Cupe's former assertion concerning
"nigger" testimony, ,Aunt D'in'a`h, with
the little girl clasped in her arms, sat
among them. Cupe was conducted to
his place in the'pirsoner's box, and
seemed the least c'oncerne'd of those
directly interested in the case. All
eyee were turned upon ham and fol
towed his every notion, as, indifferent
to the gaze of the packed assembly,
he threw himself carelessly into his
chair, crossed his legs, leaned aver
and utilized the sawduls't box at h'is
feet, then throwing back.his head
closed his eyes and slowly chewed the
remnant of a leaf ' of tobacco. Al-
though a prisoner, the old darkey was
a pictureof: contentment, seemingly as
much at Kase as a man in :perfect free-
dom of mind and uloid of care might
be, his mouth keeping time to his
foot, that wabb'lsd gently up and
down: Tlne case was called, the wit-
nesses were sworn one by' one,and as
each gave testimony it w'as evident
that un't'il I arose none of 'them had
seen the Money. Then the first direct
and conclusive eyidence was ,offered
concerning this treasure, .and for the
first time old Cupe exhibited an in-
terest in the proceedings. I knew
that my testimony was likely to be
harmful to my old friend, and when
the sharp prosecutor, having led 'me
to' the discovery of the old land deed,.
next asked if Cupe ,had etehiibrted any
ai the cyan T hesitated. 'T1ten it was
that tate foot elf tete darkey ceased to
vibrate ,the .closed eyes opened,-,

Ibefore the judge or counsel••could art_
ticipate'':the woeidls he ki:r1'dly •a''aid:
"Tole de' truff, c'hvle."
A sharp rap 'from tlhe. •gavel of tate
judge n�as not enough to s'ileti'ce the
old negro, who repeated:.'•
"Tole de truff, and .shun de ddbbil
And, so the s'to'ry of how' I had seen
the layer df coin in the trunk was told,
the • word's that hound only help to
sentence "'.the 'old man to the pen'tetilt-
i'ary. One by one the thireeds •of .the
web. had been drawn by the prosecu-
tor; the existence of the money *as
proven, and the facets that -it had been
in Owes charge, and that the box
was locked when the ley, which had
then been used to unlock it, etas taken
from him the morning of 'the storm,
were also laid before the jury. ,•The
astute mind of Cupe caught each
thread of the testimony', he could not
fail to. see when the witness bench
was cleared of all except Dinah and
the child by her side, that his case
was hopeless. Yet he gave no evid.entee
of despair, ,'belt with: half-olbsed eyes'
sat as if his part were that of an un-
concerned listener.
' At last the pros'ecut'or called the
name Of Dinah ''Hard'rn'an, who arose,
and 'a'd'vanced to the Stand. Wonder
expressed; itself on the face o'f Cu'pe.
who grumbled': 'Flo' de Lawd, an yo'
down 'tend t' let dot nigger-swo'ali•,"
This was the view taken by the de-
fence al's'o, for a lengthy argument
folllowed, ilt which the two' piles of
re'fe'rence .booles :were nearly dent'olish-
ed by op'p'osing counsel. 'At last the
judge gave his'decision, to the effect
"that while the case was one in which
the commonwealth was' deeply con-
cerned,, s'ti:ll no white person was
ly to be injured or defamed by the
unusual proceeding, 'It was really a
case in which negroe's could testify an
each side, and the 'Court which pro-
posed to allow 'Cope 'ta tell his story
wodld not exclude the tes'timbny of
Dinah. •
Alas, poor Camel Dinah, his faith-
ful wife, :corrdb'or'ated 'the evidence 'I
had given concerning 'the incident in
the 'cabin to the very paint where I
had hesitated, and then she too wav-
ered, It is hard to force a wife t'o
speak the word that consign's her'hu's-
b'anid 'to the penitentiary, and even the
judge seemed bo feel 'the injustice of
'the law. .He mai saved 'the painful
duty of issuing the cc/Mb-nand, how-
ever, for once again the prisoner in-
terrupted the proceedings:
"Tole de truff, Dinah,"
This time the .gavel Of the judge
was laid gently on the desk and be
said kindly: "Speak, i]}ina'h."
And when Dinah had spoken, all
doubt concerning t'he matter 'was at
an end; the gold d had testified' to
have seen in the chest was shown to
have .been in it t'o the nigih't of 'Cupe's
departure; the key had been in Cupe's
possession from the time it was hand-
ed by him to the constable.
The witness :bench was now clear,
the case of the conenon:wealth had
been made •ort, the pro'secubion rested
and old Cupe's d'o'om was about to be
sealed. 'Nothing the defence tn'igiit
offer could save hint from tae,penit-
entiary. IIIe remained with head
thrown back, 'his 'mouth and fee't mov-
iing in unison, his .guile'les'sface as free
from care as when he rested on th•e
corn -shuck chair before his cabin door
alter a hard day's work in the cool-
ness of a summer evening.
The closing words of the co'mmon-
wealth's attorney—'"We a now rest our
case" --came at last. The' audience
drew a long breat'h,'the jurymen as by
a single thought changed posit•i•onrs,
and it could have been observed that
a huge :plug of tobacco and the bright
jack-knife of the foreman passed 'suc-
cessively from man to man through
t'he jury box and that without excep-
tion a liberal slice was cut from it
by ea jirny'nva'n, all glad 'of tin op-
portuni'ity to exchange alt old quid 'for
a new one, :Several persons fit the
audience left the ro'olm at this point,
but remained away rno longer Than it
might have taken theme to go to the
nearest ravens and return; and in a
few moments the lawyer` for the de-
fence arose and made his .opening
speech, -.markedly brief,. in •which he
laid great s'tres's on t'he past recor 1 of
the de'fend'ant rather than on tine
strength Of his .case.
He admitted to the judge that his
only witnesses would be those who
would tes'tify to the 'honesty •of the
prisone''r and to his good character,
and, waving his 'hand over the audi-
ence, he ad'de'd: "I make no distinc-
tion in the personality of the witnesses
any 'of't'h'e gentlemen from String -
town will serve the .defence"
His plea for sympathy was' adroitly
expressed, but the judge ru'le'd out .all
su'ch'evide',ice, stating that 'the charge
against .Cupe was specific and 'that
direct rebuttal of the co'litlmonweal'tlt's•
evidence would 'bee nece'ss'ary. 'Tins
ruling, certainly anticipated by the
counsel, left ,hien without anydefence
whatever other then the statement, of
the erratic prisoner, who might 'beex-
pected to 'convict himself rather than
prove, his inn'ocen'ce,

isten'ce of a Targe treasure, but no ray
of. light has been thrown on its pres-
ent l'o'cation, and Cupe is evidently the
only person in a position to serve the
State by ,revealing the truth. .He can

conclusion, the judge called a't'tention
to the fact that Cope stood ':alo'ne, with
all the world aga'ins't him, an'd that
under the eircunt'stannce's he must be
given :full li'be'rty' to speak at 'length;
and, "if any 'ques'tion:s are to be asked

speak now; tell these gentlemen all
you know about this subject, and re-
member, .Cupid, you have sworn be-
fore God Aihnigh'ty to tell the truth,
the whole truth and n'ot'hing but the

Looking the judge in the face, Cupe
removed the s'hred'ded fragment of to-
bacco from the rubber -like lips that
covered his tooth'tess guns
"Yo' is 'bery condescendin Jedge,"

"The old fool!" flee priso'ner's coun-

judge he refrained froin making an
open interruption.
"Begin with the last time you saw

about its loss. Never ,mind wh'a't oth-
ers have said."
"We'll, lia'se, de last time I saw de

passed niy side I heard hien nimble,

Interrupting himself, the negro ',ad-
vance:d to the iron hox, turned' the
great key, raise'd the lid and peered
into its depths. He gently turned the
box :on edge so- that the judge and
jurynten could 'see its b'o'ttom, and
then,• moving h'is' hand, back and forth,
over the surface of tate inner part of
the chest, the repeated:

lovingly aver the batten end finger-
ed each of the protruding rivelts-she
'seemed to derive ,pleasure in the

,The .old darkey rose up and 'faced
the judge. "What yo' ax, Mar/se?"
"There is 100 other key?" repeated
the judge, leaning over and gazing
intently at the negro.
For :once it seemed as though
Cupe's 'native wit had deserted him.
He stooped dawn, thrust the key to
its ,place, removed the great iron from:
its socket, ;held it up to the judge and
said:
"Doh ani moah dan a t'ousan' keys

To be continued.
SINIGING SANDS
The singing san'd dunes .of Arabia
is an eerie p'hen'aanen'on which for
more than 1,000 years leas figured in
travellers' tales and given rise to na-
tive legends. It is a voice co'm,p'ara-
tively feiw wh'i'te men have heard, an'd
which scienfists' have made exhaust-
ive studies t'o explain.
Unlike singing beaches, width give
,forth musical notes only 'when the
sands are disturbed, singing, dunes
will, when apparently quiescent, break
intermittently into the desertsilence
with sounds that can be heard at a
great distance. Music of the singing
dunes varies, ranging from the' thin,
high tw'angin'g of harp strings to the
ruhn'bi't of distan't drums. To one
Aralbi'en explorer the singinlg sand's
were like the swoo'n'ing din after the
chime of a great heti, and, another
traveller heard arising from the dunes
such a giddy, loud swelling sound as
when , your wetted fin:ger" is drawn
about the .lip .of a water glass."
S'ononous dunes at the extreme end
of,Lo•wer California have been respon-
sible for a Mexican legend of a mon-
astery ` ;hurried under the shifting
sands.' D,alily at Angelus time the na-
tives listen for the faint resonance of
its bells. Ian S. Africa are laughing
sands, and hear the end of the last
century a' mining engineer discovered
rumbling sands in Chile, South Ame-
rica. Moaning sands have been
found in the western Sahara, between
Tiutvbuctoo and Morocco an'd musical
sands in the Libyan desert of Africa
Kauai, one of the group of the
Hlaw:alian Islands, is famed for its
barking sands.
'The rubbing together o•f million's of
sand grains of . app'roxinfateiy the
sante size is generally 'believed ' to he
the natural cause of the desert voice.
Itmagine eac'h'' grain falling over the
edge of the grain below, striking the
next grain with a little impact, and
repeating this withperfe'at regularity.
every time it 'changes it's position. In
that is the cause alta regular train
of eq'u'al sound waves wlnic'h • of suf-
ficiently high frequency produce a
musical moue.
Another theory of the singing
dunes is that sand` grains are coated
with , various salts whilst form in a
film after the evaporation of water:
Unider friction of moving grains the
filen produces a sound comparable., to
the action of 'resin on the bow of a
