THEY LOVED THE NEGRO.

Their Former Slave, Who Is
Wrongly Accused.
rTo BE Continued

Gen. Barnum, of Abbeville, S. c., had
a body servant before the war who aped
him in everything. Peter so loved his
master that he grew to talk like him,
act like him and almost look like him.
He lives to-day, the heart of hospitality,
the soul of honor. One Sunday two
white men drove up to the door of his
cabin and asked if he had any liquor in
the house. He said he had about a
quart. They offered to buy. He re-
fused to sell, but, just as his old master
would have done, invited them to have
drink. Having drunk they handed him
q half dollar. Of course, like his mas
ter, he declined the coin. The scoun-
drels went to town and swore out a COM
plant that he was violating the dispen
sary laws.

other day when the trial took place, and
saw a revelation. Peters counsel was
Gen. Barnum's son, adjutant general of
the state under Gov. John Gary Evans,
and the chief witness for the defense
was the general himself, who had come
over from Abbeville, distant about 100
miles, to say a word for his former slave.
The general took the stand and his son
said:
"What is your name?"

"Where do you reside?"

fendant?''

''Trust Peter? Why, I'd trust him
with my life, my honor!"
The jury didn't leave their seats.
The scene "sorter touched me up" I
met young Barnum and asked if he re-
ceived anything for his services. ''Ac-
cept q fee from Peter?" he said. in
amazement. ''Why. sir. I'd as soon

Minard Hendricks, great detective just
returned from Boston, finds awaiting him
an unsigned typewriter letter directing
him to apartments in Palace hotel, where
he will find remains of Mr.. Weldon Caruth-
ers-currently reported for past two weeks
to be out of town. Detective seems to con-

OF finger nails manfcured to sharp points.
Lampkin recalls report of a row between

for-hand of Dorothy Huntington, who is
hefTsss to several millions should she marry
Caruthers. Internationally in case of Car
uthers' death. Late that night Hendricks
and Lampkin call at home of Miss Hunting

letter, which was an invitation for herself
and aunt to occupy with Count Bantinnt,
Italian nobleman, his box at horse show,
as he was called out Of town by pressing
business. She recalls Gielow had expressed
before murder intense hatred for CarutherS
and believes him guilty. yet decides to help
him, and with her aunt goes to his studio.
Gielow has fed. His servant, Henri, tells
of oyesFhearing confession to Bantinni.
Henri thought his master insane. Hen

Hendricks goes TO consult Kola, an East
Indian interested in occult researches who

sion among the palisades. DR.. Lampkin is
summoned by Hendricks, who has been

sob, don't remember. I was very,
busy at the time and only heard the
boys laughing about it. It was the work
of crank. Gielow was made to say
something about being innocent and
starving, and confined by bantam
chicken or something equally as ridic-
ulous.'
The stonelike attitude of Hendricks

off and he said, lightly:
LET me see the thing. if it's lying
round"
Denham knocked the ashes from his
cigar.
"Oh, it isn't worth your notice, We
threw it away. You see, Hendricks, 1
don't mind telling you that we have our
case in tip-top shape. No hoax of any
kind can lead US from the work in hand.
We know exactly where Gielow is, and
will have him in the Tombs in As hours"
"Ah!" exclaimed Hendricks. you
have actually located him?''
Beyond shadow of doubt" said
the sergeant, and then one of his men
called him into the other room. ''I'Il

Don't hurry away"
When they were alone in the room
Hendricks laid his hand firmly on the

A RETRosPEcTioN.

Standing here In life's calm aftermath. my
brothers,
AS the sun begins to slant its beams allow,
look back upon the path that have trav-
eled,
From the vista OF the far-of long agoi
A half-forgotten tale I've heard before.
There is nothing worth tear in life. my
brothers.
Or broken heart-don't sorrow any
more.
Children think that. when their little toys
are broken,
They will never have the heart to play
with new.
We are older children now-wtth deeper
sorrows,
And our grown-up toys and hopes are
broken. too.
But there's nothing worth a cry in life. my
brothers,
Let us laugh and buy new playthings as
of yore,
There is nothing in this world that's worth
a heartache.
Live 1t down-forget-don't sorrow any
more.
What matter. brother. If your heart be
aching,
And your head and soul are weary-do not
moan.
Keep a smiling face. although your heart
be breaking,
Every one in this hard world must stand
alone.
But there's nothing worth a tear down
here. my brothers,
Toys can mended be-hearts are not al
ways sore.
And a day will come for each of US. my
brothers,
When we fall asleep-to sorrow never
morei

'.Kow was that, doctor?"
'.Sir Henry Irving could not have done
it better" said Lampkin- MY friend,
my pride in you is as boundless as inter
stellar space. You are more than n de-
tective-you are an histrionic genius.
Have you really made a find in this
bloody messenger"
Hendricks grunted and his brows met.
There is chance for it to mean moth
ing. I will not know till can see
Gielow's servant. Come with me- It's
more than worth looking into"
AS they hurried towards broadway
to take the cable cars uptown a heavy
snow began to fall.
This is really no day for you to be
out" counseled the doctor. You
might take cold, and"
stake the first. car, and here she
comes" laughed Hendricks.
During the ride up town the face of
the detective was the battle ground of
many inward emotions. Lampkin be-
Eeved he read in it a great Impotence
at the slow progress of the car. for it
took on almost scowl as each stop was
made. So deeply engrossed in his
thoughts was Hendricks that he al
lowed a beautiful young woman to
stand holding to a strap directly in
front of him.
