The planter had heard thunder before
but never any thunder that foretold such q
storm as then was brewing. Hastily
turning to Joseph be said, in whining
pleading tones Joseph--won't you1get

Joseph could gain nothing by refusal
He could not possibly escape in the midst
of the camp, surrounded as. he was by
thousands bound to obey the orders Of the
general So. releasing his ankle from the
rope, be stepped nimbly into the wagon,
and bade0 good by TO the soldiers. His
master took a seat beside him, and ap:
lpying-thc whip 10 the horse, drove rapidly
away. .l,,4i rsiI.,r. gaa sfgJ iaIs r Ea.
He drove down the broad street which
runs through the town;a but what was
Joseph's CONSERVATION when, reaching the
outskirts, be turned into road leading
directly away ftom the plant alton. BY a
fash Of thought the slave lad comprehend
ed the situation. lie was not going home
He could not be liberated by The captain
His mas or had already sold him, aud was
driving away for delivery. These thoughts
flashed upon him, and his plan was formed
in an instant. 1t involved an old mans
life but he would be free. if the lives ol
forty old men had to bo sacrificed.
Massa, he said, coolly, you'se tuck dc
wrong road. ,.-.----. =,
know which road I've taken. boy, said
the master we've not far to 60 Aud
he put the whip 10 the horse. aud urged
him on even more rapidly. q 1aITTTAI
I An ordinary meal.oag lay 10 the bottom
of the wagon. What was in it Joseph did
not know but il evidently contained
something which bis master would not care
to leave behind When the planters face
was turned tr'fe, Joseph touched The bag
with his foot, and tossed it into the road
exclaiming. Golly. massa, who'd a tort sict
q little kick as dat would send de bag ober
But you needn't Deber mind, III jess gel
out aud hab it in fin. as
The master looked at him for moment
and then said: No. / reckon not Irecko,
if you get out, you'll take to your legs. III
get the bag myself.
Joseph's heart beat faster /; q cold shud
der passed over him for 10y this ruse b
had hoped to save bis masters life, andDo'
h. saw him rushing blindly oD his fate i
The planter got out of the wagon, and wit
the reins backed the horse 10 where th
bag lay in the highway. Then he threw i
into the wagon, and-wss preparing to ge
in bims elf, when happy thought s,rucI
Joseph-a thought which no doubt saved
the planters life. The reins were 10 the
plauter's hand, and his hand was on the
side of the wagon, when. quickly drawing
his knife, Joseph severed them at u blow,
aud, springIng up, applied the whip to the
horses back. The frightened animal
bounded away, leaving slhe astopi,h,
planter standing in the middle of the road
His shouts aud curses came down the
wind, but they ouiy struck fire from The
horse's heels, and wdened the distance
between him aud bis property. On they
went, over the stones, through the mud
aud mile, till the poor animal could go nc
farther. Theu Joseph halted, tied hin
to tree by the roadside, and opened tbt
meal bag. Iu it were revolver, o pail
Of handouts, and u flask Of whisky 80

Joseph to himself but III jess be far and
