and having returned to his cabin and
seated himself on the familiar chair,
reached up to the hand of tobacco
over his head, stripped a part of a
leaf and thrust it between his flabby
lips.
"Came heah, Dgawge Waste'neen,"
he commanded; and the four -footed

CHAPTER XXV.
The Haunted Hollow.
'The remainder of the day indolent
old Cupe sat in his chair, seemingly
contentedwhen awake, but it would
have been difficult to say just how
much of the time, he was awake. Oc-
casionally he hummed a negro mel-
ody, again he would change the ex-
hausted' tobacco left between his lips
for a fresh one, but much of the time
with closed eyes he sat frictionless.
Just before the setting sun reached
the horizon its slanting rays streamed
into his face, and then he called Din-
ah: "B'rung• de ole slippahs ob de
honey chile and call Dgawge into de
cabin ail' den shet bof .die doahs, an'
keep him . deb.."
'Dinah ,obeyed without question.
J :Cupe took two tobacco sticks and
fastened the shoes, one to the end of
each. He began then to walk side-
ways, hording the sticks at arm's
length, so that the .shoes hung near
the earth far outside his own tracks.
In this manner the slowly passed. a-
long, andas he did so caused the
shoes to step as if a child were walk-
ing parallel with his own footsteps.
Across the dooryard, over the fence
dawn and across the little creek at
the base of the hil' he trudged, and
then, making a circuit, he cane back
again to the starting place.
"De' deed atn done, an' now dis
nigger'll . see ef Dgawge 'Wash'n't'n
am in fix fo' de work ob his life. Let
de dawg out, Dinah! scorn heah,
Dgawge
The dog trotted out of the house.
Taking, the nose of the brute 'be-
tween his thumb and finger, as he
had done before, the negro muttered:
"Et am cool an' pleasant like t' de
touch --de nose am fixed fo' de work.
You see dese slippahs, Dgawge?"—
aird' Cupe held theni before the eyes
of the dog—"You' see dese heah
slippaiis?,r
The dog whined gently.
"Yo' om no fool, Dgawge, bat yo'
'bettah smell de leather, fo' yo' hain't
1P0 time fo' 'stakes now," and with
these words the shoes were held to
the dog's nose.''
"Now am yo' ready for de test ob
yoah life, Legawge? Go fin' Susie!
IGo fin' de chile! Hunt fo' Susie,
Dgawgel"
,At once the old cur thrust his nose
close to the earth and began a zigzag
trot about the dooryard. Cupe watch-
ed hila intently, and when he neared
the trail of the slippers became visibly
excited. .Att this instant the lnouad
stopped; raising hishead and.-d'rop-
ping his lower jaw •slightly, he gave
a cry that stirred the heart of his
master with .pleasure.
"Yo' am tenni' 'de truff, suah l yo'
am dee crittah what 'kin keep yoah
nose cool ef dee wedd'ah am wahm.
1Fin' Susie, Dgawgel Go fo' Susie!"
In reply, the dog started in a long
lope with eiden:cled nose scarce de-
pressed toward the earth, thus show -
in the acuteness of the trail; follow-
ing the exact course of the circle
Cupe had made, he returned to the
starting point. "Yo' am a daisy of a
dog, yo' bah wo'k t` do, but yo' don't
get .no suppah till yo' do et. Keep

soap the cry of the old hound floate'd
in the air, and et oncea whistle loud
and shrill broke from the' lips of Cupe.

came to his side,

lithe negro strode 'forward, the dog
with hanging heed,' foilo'win•g at his
'h'eels until 'the lights of Stringtown
'acme into view, !Sttop:ping then, the
old man crouched •ilr the grass and
,again spoke: "Dgawge, dab am no
coon, no 'possum, no rabbet t' night.
De time am come fo' Work, an .ef yo'
daan work t' night, de end ob yoah

nose, 'the negro c'huckle'd, and then
taking the little shoes out of his poc-
ket, he held them before the eyes of
the dog and !touched therm once -more
to his ndse. 'Hunt fo' Susie, Dgawge)
hunt fo' Susie! slow," he said the dog
started off, "slow, ID'gawge; de night
am song."
The dog :disappeared in the dark-
ness, and Cupe, 'turning his steps so
as to inscribe a 'circle about the
Stringtown lights, wended' his way
slowly over the uneven land. !Froen
time to time he stopped to cheer the
sagacious 'hound, which could be
heard pressing ehrough the bushes
and occasionally, when on a ridge,
could be seen pictured against the
sky. Old Cupe, accustomed to noc-
turnal exploits with the dumb brute,
knew exactly What he was doing at
he circled about, and: needed nothing
more than the acassiona1: sounds, that
to an, inexperienced ear w,oufd 'have
conveyed no meaning, could' they
have been heard, to tell thatthe faith-
ful animal was scouring every foot of
territory in the vicinity. .A't last the
steps of the negro led to a grapevine
thicket in `a ravine, and soonfrom its
depths a loud howl came, a 'howl that
to =rather persons than Cupe would
have sounded exactly like the cry that
led Ito the pun'ish'ment of the dog at
the time his ears were boxed 'for trail-
ing a rab'b'it.
IThe cry had hardly subsided before
'Cupe gave a whistle and soon the dog
came to his side. "Dgaiwge, tie 'pos
sn'm ani'Sweet [t'' de taste when the
sweet -torah an' de frost am' heah, [but
not . t' night, You hab "bettah work

and again the patient creature's ears
were boxed. "Now min' yoah nose,
Dgawge," and 'Cape touched it again
with the little shoe. "Hunt fo' Susie,
IDgawge, hurt fo' 'Susie!"
The grouted wasslowly covered',
Tie'lds of corn, ,open ipas'ture,:. waste

Stringtown pike was crossed below
the 'village, and on the return ,circuit
crossed again above it, near the home
of \Ir. Nord•tnan, the old Kentucky
gentleman;'• the &Pt, Cartmel pike was
also crossed and Ithe heavy'beechwood
at 'the junction was passed, and yet
no evidence of the movements of the
dog and master [could be hard other
than the sound made by an occasion-
atl .broken stick or a - rustle of the
bushes. 'Then, at past, the ,discour-
aged negro realized that he had com-
pleted the circuit of . the village, for.
'he stood near 'the spot where the
'circle began. The old man called his
dog, and When he approached spoke
to bier as only a deeply earnest megrlo
of the olden time could speak to a
du'nth brute, "De sign wah had, for et
'wah :doe lei' toe, but didn't Cupe go
back an' start .ag':in? IDe ebil oh de

Dgawge, you hab been fo'olin' yoah

with a ;threat .and the information that
the village must again lbe tramped
about, and that the next circl.emust
be larger„ Again they started around
the village, but [before doing so: re-
ceded front the previous circle, so'
that this circuit would .be much great-
supper, while the hungry dog linger-
ed outside eke_door.
(Returning after the nie'al was over,.
Ithe old man looked at the star -bedec-
ked sky, from which ide last tinge Of
twilight .was fast fading, and' then
glanced at the spot where his dumb
comrade rested.
"De hour Mb tone, -Dgawge, de
hour ob trial." -
Slsipping on a roundabout jacket
;that hung on a nail near the corn-
shuck chair, and thrusting into its
pocket a twist of leaf-tabaoco, the.
Old man turned to the open door.
'Dinah," he said, "df you duan see
de dews- an' me befo m'almet, dab
ain't no cause fo' fdah."
"De moon do'an rose 'til midnight;
what fo' yo' go ah'ftah de coon now?"
asked Dinah. -
"Neblbaii yo' min' de moon; dab
am udda'h crithahs dan coons."
"Yo' hab lef' yoah ax, Cupe, yo'
hab lef' yoah ax!" cried Dinah, as
cher husband disappeared in the
gloom.
"Dlah am no need fo' de ax t' -
night; de crit'ta'h what we hunts now
am not in de tree no' in de grapevine
tangle."
The huntsman and his dog were.
now alone together- in the starlight,
Taking the path toward String -
town, their course led them toward
the brow of the hill, But before
reaching' the hill Cttpe struck the toe
Of his left foot violently, against a
projecting stone. [I -Ie immediately
stopped, turned back, retraced his
steps to the do'or of the cabin, and
then recommenced his journey, mut-
tering:
"Ef et had be'n the right toe, et'ud
hab been a sign ob good luck, but t'
stump de def' toe am an ebil sign.
Dealt ain't no reekt' be run t' -night.
Dalt ain't—"
IThe slave stopped, his bent body
sunk nearer the earth; his mouth, still
open, left the sentence incomplete.
He . heard a rustle in the grass just
before him, and then a 'full-grown
rabbit hopped' into the path, halted
momentarily, turned its great eyes,
that yet glittered in the 'dusk, full
upon the negro, and with a bound
crossed the path and disappeared in
the briars.
"De wussest sign what could be;
de rabbet nebbah cross de paff outer

et stop t' say,. 'Go back, go back, yo'

Back to the cabin went the negro
and taking two objects from a string
behind the door, he carefully placed
them in his pocket. "De cha'ms wall
fergotten, an' de pant rabbet know et
-de ch'nis : t' keep off de. hoodoo
•from Dgawge'Wash•'n^fn an' Cupe:.
'Now de start :ani right."
'Having thus corrected a grave
'blunder, Cupe moved rapidly until he
reached the brow of the 'hill. Leav-
ing the path at this point, he sought
a small thicket, within which, by day-
light, could have .been seen an enclos-
ure of atone that marked the foun-
dation of an old building. At each
end of the ruin two piles of stones
were crum'bl'ing in. the weather, the
debris of the chimneys of the haunt-
ed mansion.
'Dgawge," said the, negro addres-
sing his dog, "yo' am in de :sacredeet

ed over the land as they had done he-
!fore, until the Stringtown pike below
the village was reached, Atthis pont
just as the negro prepared to climb
the rail 'fentee, lie sitopped and then
sa'nk upon the ground. "Stan' still,'
[Dgawge," he slowly; muttered; "dab..
am dangah in de ole pike; ,stan' still."
'Peering through the rails, the kneel-
ing negro saw, first, two silent horse-
men appro'ach;.efollo'wing which came
a troop .of albotit'a 'hundred !horsemen,
riding two abreast. ,When opposite
the negro the troop halted, and' then
from beneath an adjacent (tree a slight
figure stepped to the side ,of the lead-
er of the ;band, spoke a few words
and disappeared toward the village.
The troppl resumed its way, and salt
last, about as far behind the eavalry-
men as the advance guard had pre-
'ceded •thesi, carne the rear -guard of:
two horsemen.
The tramp of the 'horses' 'feet, the
occasional rattling, of a sabre against
a wooden stirrup, the smothered,
cough of an ;afflicted rider, and the
cavalcade'; that had been pictured a-
gainst the•starry skies disappeared fn
the gloom.
"Doh ant sorrah .coanin to someone

iHe ntoved on; She two pikes were
crossed, the shadows of the beech-
'wood were' traversed and the second
circuit of the village nearly comnplet-
ed when a cry frokn the dog broke
upon the air, is 'cry that brought old
Cupe to a stop so sudden That the
foot ,was arrested in the pair, slowly
lolwere'd, and then the negro fell upon
his knees. IN'o 'whistle broke from
his lips this time, no scolding of
George Washington, but in its stead
-the ,marmuredwords: "De Lewd be
praised! sten'. still, Dgawge W'ash'n'-
t'n. :De track Ob de Chile am fours'.
Steady, ,Dgawge, 'Stan' steady, IDgaw
ge Wash'n't'n." 'Rising, he ad'vanced
to 'the spot from which the cry had
come, and kneeling again 'beside the
dog the th'ankfu'l negro' burst into
tears and threw his arms about the
dumb 'brute's neck. As be knelt thus
,the full m'o'on slowly arose, for the
night had half wasted away, and yet
not until it [threw a 'broad glare did
Cupe give the cdmlmand to move for-
woad, (Then he said: "Slow, Dgawge.
Go t' Susie, Dgawge, IGo t' "Susie,
Dgawge. !Steady, ole man," and the,
dog leaped into the darkness.
'The slow, creeping motion that had
characterized the mo'vemen'ts of Cupe
during the night now 'changed to a
trot; time steps were gong, and he rap-
idly covered the ground. A'howl canine
regularly from the throat of his un-
seen leader, a howl sufficient to keep
Coupe fast in the trail, ;He used his.
eyes to avoid' obstructions, bttt relied
solely, on his ear to keep track of the
dog, The moat rose high into the
heavens; woodland, meadow and thic-
ket were trodden with no change in
[the cry of 'the dog, no sound 'from
the lips of his master. The -child had
wandered in zigzag lines, had strug-
gled through briars and 'bushes, over
hills and through valleys -if, indeed,
the dog were trailing the child. At
last even Cupe grew doubtful, and
whistled, which signal was -under-
stood as 'a :conunand bd stop, On.
reaching the brute, who in o'bed'ience
rested in his tracks, the -negro-spoke
as follows:
"Am yo' lyin', 'D'gavege, ant yo' !yin'
or tel:lin' de truff? 'Ef de chile hat
been whoa' yo' hab trabeled, • de yin-
nicent hab walked her legs off. Ani
yo' lyin', IDgalwgc•?" ,Stopping in the
middle of the sentence, thespeaker
reached out his hand and picked from
a briar a small piece of cloth, which
he 'held before this eyes. The :lighlt
of the moon fell upon the fragment,
and then Cupe completed the broken
sentence-1"Au' heah am- de ansah—
yo' ani tellin' de truff. Go 1' Susie,
IDgawge, .go t' Susie." •
[Back and forth, in and out, the man
followed th.e cry of his dog th'a't night
ever intent 011 the obja'et of his search
hoping each mo'nten't to hear the bay
announcing' that the child' had been
found at laslt. iBuit there came no
change of note; the monotonous howl
that first struck the ear was main-
twined, until at last a great loop had
been made, and the step ofthemaster
following the [cry 'of the dog, turned
tolward .a spot well known to the strep
,esstitlous negro. Nearer and yet
nearer they drew to the point that
distuiibed the 'miniLof the slave; until
at last he 'could no longer control his
fear, bat whistie:d to his companion,
and together they came to a stand on
the' tap of a grassy ridge.
"Yo' bettah go slow, Dgawge. Dalt

God breis de rabbet ,what cross de

from his pocket a rabbit -•foot attach-
ed to a string, the negro 'hung it a -
round the neck of his dumb friend,.

Prot the same ipcicicat and, threw' it
around his ,own neck. "Go slow,
Dgawge, ' do cleb•bil am in Bloody Hol

even seemed not altogether to remove.
'the distrust of the old 'loan, wh'o
glanced uneasily about as` lie moved
slowly into the valley. He mumbled
to himself, possibly reciting a ward
of charm, but stili he kept drarely isI-
ter the yelping hound,
!Alt. „t'hlis place, when the clog: had
reached the base of the 'ilii!, he gave
a yelp so different front the •monoton-
ous cry that had 'preceded it that even
an . inexperienced' person • would have
nolticed the change of .tone. It was a
dingle, sharp yelp, followed by a _loud,
long, cry !that made the valley echo.
'Tice negro rushed forward, careless
alike of ghost or goblin; and there,
reclining on the grass, her head pil-'
lowed' on, a hillock that the slave
knew only too ,well, was the object of
the search.
The dog stretched himself upon the
earth, licking the hand of his young
mistress, and the 'moonlight threw its
mellow rays over the leoll:ov,
'The frightened negro wasted no
time; he raised the girl in his arms
and rapidly lett ;the valley of evil om-
en's. His ;faithful dog, his [tight worlc.

The grey of morning inin'gledi with
the moonlight as 'Cape opened the
door :of his cabin, where old Dinah
sat waiting for her husband. ; She
gave a cry of joy as s'he recognised
her young mistress; but Cupe, with
the ,proverbial gruffness of such as he,
said
-`Shet yoah nrotrf, yo' fool nigger,

'CHAPTER XXVI,
Despondent Stringtown.
Oblivious to the occurrences related
in the preceding c'h'apter, (Stringtown
slept, !Extraordinary events were re-
quired in 1'8'64 to waken her people.,
;The -tramp of cavalry had becodne a
familiar sound. A nocturnal raid' had
ceased to he novel. Long !trains Of ' ar-
my wagons, •th•e curses of mule -driv-
ers, the crack of black -snake whips,
the sound of ''blows belabouring the
,backs of the patient brutes, were
constant day and night alo'n'g the
dusty pike. The beating of drums,
'and time music 'of b'and's, the singing
of enthusiastic amen in bright new un-
iforms,
niforms, the mirth that always accotu-
pan'ied' the recruit marching South 'to
"glory," sounded in the ears 'of our
people so often as to excite,,no furthe
er comment. The tramp of veterans
when transfer of commands, 'brought
old soldiers hack [from the war, amen,
with whom the lack of bluster and
mirthful singing .was in marked con-
trast eo the -behaviour of the new
made soldier, did not -disturb 'us. One
looked forward to waving ;flags, val-
iant cavalry ,Charges, and pictured
battle scenes in which, amid cheers of
comrades, the waving banner was
proudly carried on to the ramparts of
the enemy: the other had known war
in its reality; war which meant burn-
ed dwellings, weeping mothers, child
ren huddled .(into' groups, lands dev-
astated, homes destroyed, distress and
famine, pain and suffering to the in-
nocent; and these experienced no ec-
s'tacy lin thinking of 'battle -charges
where ..blood flowed from friend and
foe, no .pleasure in reminiscences even
of success where fire, smoke . and
death once prevailed. The places va-
cated by lost mess -mates, and the
s'hrinki'ng forms of suffering children
and bereaved mothers, taught a sor-
rowful lesson to him Who 'had taken
part in war, -
!We of Stringtown slept during the
passing of the squad of cavalry which
Oupe saw tramping up the pike, and
we also slept while the same raiding

Stringtown's people knew nothing of
this tramping of a hundred horses,
