I still he yearned to be known as a white
! boy, and pinned, in spite of himself for lib
erty, even with the hatboat and his villain
| GUS bond master.
He thought of running Of, but his owners
were 80 kind that his heart would not let
him leave them.
IN less than 4 year g thing came which
changed his feelings on this score. The
planter became bankrupt and all of his
property went to the sherlff's block. He
now told his story, but there was no proof
and who would believe it?
The auctioneer stood by and ''cried the
| sale"
"a fine mulatto boy, strong. active. good
natured; a most excellent house-servant,
going for $40. Vino says more? Going
GO"
-Four twenty-fve," shouted a keen, vet
singularly soft voice.
John started and gazed hard; for it was
Crapaud Crapoussin who bid.
A desplcable look was on the dwarf's
drawn face: his eyes leered v~illianously.
Going, gong, going, IT four twenty five,
and are you all done bidding?" cried the
red-faced auctioneer.
Going, gong. gone to Crapaud Crapous-
sin for $425."
And 30 JOIN went back to the stuffy little
rooms in New Orleans, once more the slave
of the little hunchback. His spirit broke
down entirely as he crossed that terrible

He was not to remain there long. era

after many DAYS. From the wharf thew

Here's the lad-Yere ees 10 leetle bow.

said Crapaud.
Certainly, when the proof is made,' re-
sponded the lawyer, ''the reward is ready
for you"
1t was queer ali round; for the outcome
made John tho heir to about ST., 600, the
estate Of Il mean and misery uncle, re.
Gently dead. Crapaud had seen in the
newspapers that the lawyer was offering
81, 900 reward for the boy. His knowledge
Of Johns past life, rs related to him by the
boy himself, had led him to take this dar-
ing step with a view to gaining the reward.
Was it right or wrong? The lawyer, in
stead of paying C%rapaud, had him arrested
and convicted for kidnapping, and he
served q number of years in the states

dustrious man. His descendants live in

He pulled John over to the shadowy side
of the street ana urged him along. They
tFaversed damp, pitch-dark alleys and mar
row, evil-smelling cross streets; they wound
in and out through squalid, ill-dIained
quarters. Once Il policeman stopped
them.
"Hello, there, Crapaud Crapoussin,' he
said, what are you doing with that boy.'
Hes my Niger" answered the dwarf,
promptly: speaking in French as had also
the officer. He's been running off, and I
am taking the scamp home to thrash him"
Good for you, Crapaud,'" said the po-
lioeman, sauntering#on give it to him till
he won't do it again"
In a little while John and his captor came
to a hole in the wall, surrounding a large,
dilapidated building.
Crnpaud stopped here and said to John in
. growing whisper:
"Eef you make contraire an Cry varee

linen he dragged the almost ~fainting lad
into tho foul hole and up a ~rickety fight of
stairs to a room where an old, old woman
was knitting.
1--WE bought another nigger.'' he said to
her in French.
"stole him you mean" was the response
IN a cracked and evil sounding voice.
John. of course, could not understand a
word that they said; but the little shriyeled.
black-eyed crone looked at him with an OK
preston that chilled his blood and caused
his flesh to creep on his bones.
Crapaud had kept his hold on John and
now he took him to a small, closet-like
room that opened into the, one they had
just entered.
'.'Ees you my neegaireY" He demanded
very softly.
Ppm not no niger" said John. In spite
OF his fear he promptly resented the impu.
tation.
Crapaud took down from the smoky wal
a long, keen whip and proceeded to thrash
him sonndly. John tried to scream, but
the old woman sprang upon him and held
his mouth.
III ies Wheep you all 70 night time eel
you make re noise" growled Crapaud, Law
ing on the blows with increasing violence,

After receiving this terrible punishment
for what he could not imagine John was
iumbled into tho stutfy, filthy little room
and there left. When the bolt of the door
grated in its loops, he held his breath and
dared not even Rroau.
The next morning Crapaud opened the
door and asked him the same question
again:
"Ees you my n~eegaire?'

Immediately down came the whip, and
