"'Zac'ly," •
"How could the money have got

severely, and, eyeing Cupe, pointed
into 'the empty box.
'Who say et git out ob de chist?"
'retorted 'Cupe, "not ,dis nigger."
"It is not there."
The negro dropped on his knees
again and gazed into its rusty inter-

CHAPTER XIX.
The Right of Clergy.
Never did the court of Stringtown
'County convene with spectators more
intensely interested and more prompt
.in. assembling. When the clerk made
the opening cry every place was 'fi'll-
ed, and even the ,two side aisles were
partly occupied' by chairs brought
from the barroom af the nearest ta-
vern. The universal •opinion was that
the jury must find Cupe guilty; and
the only question which perplexed
the 'village was regarding the .penalty
likely to be inflicted. The charge af
the judge ,was soon delivered; it was
,short, and so clearly drawn as to
leave the jury no alternative but to
bring in a verdict against the de-
'fendant. As the twelve men 'filed
sl'o'wly from the roam it required but
little of the 'spirit of prophecy to
'fore's'ee that they; would seen. return.
,After a brief consultation the jury
icanue back to the box, and the an-
notrn'cement was anode by the court.
officer that they Were ready to return
their verdict,
"Getnlemen`;of the jury, are you
agreed?" asked' -the. judge.
"We are," ,said the "foreman, and
handed the Court a' paper, from which
his Honour aloud:
"We do unanimously: agree that in
wilfully secreting a large sum of
money, w'h'ic'h''had been entrusted to
his rare Cupid, Hardman is guilty', of
high crime iegainse the coinanon-
is pronounced,"
'Cupid arose and looked, the judge
in the face. Then occurred a strange
thing, for a cry 'from one in the aisle,
.who was standing upright :at• the
!back df the room, broke the stillness.
"I ask'for justice l
Audacious interruption this, in, a
Kentucky court.
The judge looked steadily at the
intruder; every face was turned in the
direction whence the start'lin'g cry
had come; every face, ,I may say, but
one. 'Cupe neither moved n o Ir
changed expression.
'Ln the rear of the centre aisle, with
a leat'her-bound book 'hel'''d high i'nhis
hand, Mr. Wagner, the 'Stringto'wn
clerk, stood expectant, and as the
eyes of the assembly, turned upon
him the repeated:
"Justice! justice! I ask for justice—
justice at the hands of the Court,
your Honour!"
"Justice is the right of him who
appeals to .a court of• justice," answer-
ed the judge. "For whom do you ask
justice?"
"For the ,prisoner before you, for'
the slave, Cupid Hardman."
"Justice he shall have in aocord.an'ce
with the testimony. !Listen to, the
charge."
"Ho'ld your word, your (Honour.
iI ask for justice in the name of
dquity, not a'ccordin'g to 'the testi-
mony. Listen, your Honour, aisten
until you hear the statutory claim of
him who demands the right"
Bearing aloft the b'o'ok, the un-
couth man advanced slowly down.
the aisle until he stood, before the
bench. Then, thrusting the volume
into the hand at the slave, he spoke
in a deliberate, slow tone, looking
straight into the face of the judge.
"I claim for this slave, Cupid Hard -
matt, the Right of Clergy, lan'd' this
demand I make in the name of the
law of This great .commonwealth 'o'f
Kentucky and on 'behalf of justice,
for S believe him to have done no
crime."
The judge folded his arms on his
chest 'and not 'less deliberately re-
plied:
"The claim is a legal one and ac-
cords with the statutes of the com-
monwealth. Open the book, Cupid
(Hardman, and if you can read aloud
the Constitution of the United' States,
the brand may be applied to your
hand and you may go forth freed
from the charge pending against
you•,.,
The aged negro opened the book,
and recd (or repeated) word for word
the entire Constitution of the 'United
States, and, having banded the book
ha'ck to his champion, stood- await-
ing the next motion df the 'Court.
"T.he brand 1 the brand of fire 1
biting i•u the brand' 1" ordered the
judge in a faltering, low tone.
Turning toward the aisle, the lank
clerk again 'held up his hand, which,
high above the heads of the people,
could be plainly seen from the cor-
ridor without. In answer to that
signal, following the footsteps of the
'S'tringtown clerk, advanced a figure
'familiar to nearly all who were pres-
ent—the figure of the old Jew, Moser

heated furnace on the floor before

awaiting the next order of the judge.

judge; "you are free to go, home,

tence of the Court, by the Right of

(This statute was carried into Ken-
tucky law from England as is known,
the "Right o'f .Clergy'', was allowed'
but once to a 'claimant who was then
branded in the palm or on t'he ball Of
the thumb to prevent a second ap-
peal. Few are aware that this curious
cid •law ever had a footing j, in Ken-'
tu'cky. " See "Neck Verse," usual'ly

praised the negro's fortitude, for
Kentuckians love a brave man, be he
black or white; and old Dinah, mum-
bling to herself, bound the heroic
man's 'hand in a red band'a'na hand
kerchief. At last the room was vacat-
ed' of all but the 'court officers, the
friends of 'Cupe and the late prisoner.
"You are 'free to go home," repeat-
ed tihe judge.
"Yo' hab do thanks of an ale, ig-
n'rant nigger, Mase Jedge, fo' yaah
many 'kindnesses, but Cupe 'ud like
't ax a quistion."
"Certainly."
"Kin de chist go home wid de nig-
ger "1
'Cupe made a low courtesy, stooped
over and with his uninjured arm at-
tempted to throw the heavy 'box upon
his shoulder. The sheriff came bo his
assistance, and by their combined ef-
forts the burden was lifted to its
brawny resting place. As 'Cupid left
the court room the sheriff remarked:
"Devilish heavy for an empty box,

With dragginigt feet II moved front the
door of the courthouse to the wagon
df Mase, the )huc'ks'ter, and there, with
arms clasped over my head;, with face
hidden from the light, leaning against
the dilapidated vehicle, 1I sobbed gent-
ly and nervously kicked the sod on
which my tears were falling. The
horse of the 'Hebrew, untied at the
rear of the wagon, stood munching
the remnant of a dinner front the
worn trough which hung on the back
part of t'he wagon bed; but I gave no
heed to the beast, even when its hairy
lips were flipped carelessly against my
cheeck. A flock of barn pigeon's
wh'is'tled about my head and a'li'ghted
near my feet, ptcking,up the scattered
grains of cont that had dropped upon
the grcunct from the mouth of t'he
horse, but for once my hand forgot
its cunning and no stone was raised.

Cupe excitedly jumped from the

to .sing. 'Then, seating himself, he

taken from hi'm during •his im'prison-

"'Telt me a story, Uncle Cupe."

they rested on a jabbering flock df
