listened in fear and anxiety. They
knew that the judge was fearless
man, but there were so many well
armed men against him, the odds
were fearful, and when he refused to
give up the key they said they would
arrest him and break down the door.
Then he pleaded with them in a
trembling voice and said to the cap
tain: Here is my daughter and her
little, helpless children, and here are
two Others whose mother is dead and
their father is in the army. [ have
but four sons, and they are in the
army. My two sons-in-law are there.
Here on this place are so or 60 negroes
who are too old or too young to work,
and it is struggle for us all to live.
1 am alone and getting old l have
done my share for the confederacy
and cannot do more. Now L know
that you can overpower me or kill
me, and take away the little meat
have saved for these helpless ones, but
let me tell you, captain, the first man
who goes to that door to break it
down will be dead man before he
can do it"
His black eyes flashed as if lit up
by sparks of fire and his voice no
longer trembled. He was desperate.
Lightly he ascended the stairs, where
he had two double-barreled guns well
loaded, and, planting himself at the
window that overlooked the smoke
house, he said: "Now break that
door if you dare to-" and the percus-
sion lock went click! click! The ccp-
tain looked at the door and then at
the judge. There was an awful ST.
lence for few moments. My wife
and children had heard it all and
trembled. Some of the negroes had
gathered at the cabin doors, and old
Sam dared to exclaim in low, husky
voice: Better not-better not-old
massa kill you-kill you, shore"
The captain suddenly reconsidered.
"Come, boys" said he, ''it's getting
late, and there amt no use in fight
ing about little meat. We can report
the case to headquarters, and if we
are ordered back we can try it again,
1 reckon" Without saying good-by
or farewell they left.
That night, about midnight, the
Judge called up old Jack and Virgil,
whom he knew he could trust, and
had the joints of the meat and a part
of the sides carried quietly down to
the old blacksmith's shop on the
bank of the river. With pick and
shovel the cinders and earth in the old
