THE RUNAWAYS
A Story of Antebellum
Days.
BY ANNA LAURA GRAVES.

"Please. sab, ole Uncle Eph'um done
run away ag'in, sab"
"What?" Numbered Colonel RAN
dolph, starting to his feet. "This is the
fifth year that negro has run away. I'll
see about this" And, catching up his
cane and panama hat, he strobe down
the avenue toward the negro quarters.
He stopped before the cabin Of Aunt
Dinah, the wife Of the recreant, and
she met him by answering his unspo-
ken question.
eyes, sab, he done run away ag'in,
sab. When l git up dis mawnin' he
done gone. It's pow'ful cu'ous, sab.
He'll come back. You know, he allus
does. Gawd knows sho' is toah up
In my mind about 1t. He knows what
kind massa he got, and 'peahs lax
when he come back he pow'ful shame
o. hisself; but he done gone ag'in.'
As was always the case with him,
the coloners wrath had subsidized by
the time he had reached Uncle Ephra-
inns cabin, and after hearing Aunt
Dinah's explanation he said thought
fully:
"Well, tell Eph to come and see me
when he comes back, and we'll not
search for him this time" Then he
walked slowly back to the house.
At dinner that day the family dis
cussed the runaway. He had been
born on the plantation and was great
favorite with them all. He was only
few days older than the colonel
They had been boys together, and the
slave had been devoted to his white
folks But every October for five
years Eph had mysteriously disappear
ed, to appear again in about two
weeks, a little shamefaced, and his
only explanation to the darkies had
beer that he ''jes' had to CO."
The colonel had maintained a dis
Greet silence. He remembered the long
years of unbroken loyalty and devo-
ton of Ephraim, and waited for him
to explain his disappearance, but the
explanation had never come. This
time the colonel had determined to ask
for 1t.
About two weeks after this last Oc-
tober day a disheveled old darky
walked into Aunt Dinah's cabin. His
clothes were torn by brambles and COW
cred with the mud of the swamps. He
looked tired, but happy. Uncle Ephra-
i'm had returned.
He said little by way of reply to the
upbraidings Of Aunt Dinah. who gave
him a good tongue lashing" for his

Uncle Eph was quite an aristocrat in
his way, having been coachman in the
Randolph family ever since he had ar
rived at mans estate. He said moth
ing, however, for he was rather 81
lent darby.
When Aunt Dinah had "had hel
say" she gave him the masters mes
sage. He stopped smoking, his col
pipe went out. At last he arose, put
on his battered hat and, without
| changing his mud stained garments
walked slowly up to the ''big house."

Patience, gentleness, entire absence OF
force were his maXims.
Whenever game. had been killed the
cat was led to it. and the game was
given to him. Next the cat sought the
game on his own account. Next he
was taught 70 stay close to his master

was then taught not to fear the sound
Of the gun, beginning with a little car
bine. then proceeding to the fOwling
piece. When the gun was fired, a COM
mon ball was pitched forward by the
master, and the connection between
the report of the piece and retrieving
was established. Then dead bird was
substituted for the ball, and it was at
ward dropped from the branch Of q
distant tree. The education Of this
particular cat is now complete. He re-
trieves perfectly, points sometimes and
in general conducts himself like hunt

The biologists deny the inheritance OF
acquired characteristics. If 1T were not
for their doctrine, this learned animal
might become the progenitor of long

The skunk first appears in history In
the year 1886, when he was described
In Theodat's History of Canada" He
had been a long time on the earth be
fore that time. however, for there are
species of fossil skunks. The skunks OF
the genus Chinca range over the great
er part of North America and as fa'
south as Mexico. Other skunks are
found in Central and South America
They live In burrows either of other
animals or made by themselves. Theil
habits are chiefly nocturnal, and they
hibernate only in the severest part Of
the winter. Their food consists Of
small animals, of insects and birds
eggs. Grasshoppers are eaten by hun
dreds. They have been trapped fol
their fur for many years.
The young are boru in filters of foul
to ten. The adults occasionally roll
the poultry yard. but such depreda
lions as they commit are more than off
set by their destruction of noxious ami
| mails and insects, especially the white
grub, the pest Of lawns and meadows
They are easily trapped in box traps
and can be killed by putting them. traI
