man Duckery, the father of Lucinda, the
ebon damsel, who caused 80 much trouble
by her charms.
Herald man.-'sWhat do you mean, hard
for Temple or Rhoadesf"
''De Lord knows for both, but Rhoades

and looks to be broken down, she II very
homely. "Aunty what canbou tell US about

"Well you see, myself and the old man
were living in Penniylvani, and Lucinds
was living with the Rhoades folk, It pears
thathe took up with her, when she was
very young, she Is now of age believe.
When we came back to Delaware they were
living together. I always suspected that
they were not married !; they have had three
children, all dead but one." .rfg. .%ctge4t
"How did she come to leave Rhoades,
and why did she not marry him. We queried.
"Why you zee, he was lazy and IDLE, and
would cit around Hedgeville, and whenever
she earned any money spend It, and Temple
wasgood to her and she took up with him,
and sacked t'ether." 20 we will care for
