one request to make of you. When you
feel like running away again, want
you to tell me, and I'll go with you.o
You 20, Marse Phil, sho' nuff? All
right, sab, I'll tell you, sah."
The colonel turned and took up his
paper. Don't forget" he commanded.
Il shall expect you TO tell me-" And
the interview was ended.
There were wild rumors afloat among
the negroes as to the punishment Uncle
Eph wrA to receive for running away,
but Uncle Eph himself maintained a
dlgniiied silence. He sedately drove
the colonel and his wife TO church and
through the country lanes to the houses
where they attended the big dinners
and teas. The subject was never again
mentioned by the two old playmates.
The year passed by and Indian sum.
mer again threw her shimmering blue
mantle over the distant mountains and
the leaves became golden and red and
brown. One night the colonel sat late
at his study table. He was writing To
his lawyer. He was tired, and somehow
1t seemed task to him tonight. Sud
denly he heard soft footsteps In the
hall.
Who could 1t be? His wife had re-
tired and Rob. the only son ut home,
had gone with his young wife To a
country ball and would not be home for
hours The door was gently pushed
open. and there appeared the woolly
mead and ebony face of Uncle Eph
"I'ze ready. sah," lie said in sepnl-
chral whisper
READY inquired the colonel in
amazement For moment he had for
gotten the compact of year ago. but
only for Il moment. He pushed aside
the tedious letter and looked up at Eph
expectantly. Yes, we's ready, sah,'
said Eph again. Its n mighty fine
night sab. rze got de guns, sab, an

Yes" said the colonel, and he step
ped out on the yeranda. How beanti-
ful everything looked in the moonlight
The balmy October air of the south
was like a caress. The woods seemed
to beckon them. Philip Randolph, the
boy, could not withstand the tempta
ton tirasping his hat he looked at
Eph as he had done years before, when
he waited for him to tell him when TO
shoot.
Eph looked back at him, picked up II
sack that was lying on the steps. then
took up the guns.

Yes" repeated the colonel and fol
lowed him down the avenue. A few
II oments later and their figures were
lest to view in the dense shade of the
woods
