CHAPTER XIII.
The Obi Man.

When Daniel awoke the sun was climbing
swiftly to the zenith, and the full blaze of it
burnt upon tropical tangle Of palmetto
and mango, plantain and palm. He found
himself hidden in brake of luxuriant vege-
tation almost at the apex of lofty hill
that overlooked the Caribbean sea. Strange
sounds fell upon his ears, and he perceived
that his resting place was beneath prickly
pear fence. on the other side of which stood
a matched cottage and beyond an acre of
cleared land. Beneath stretched the dark
green and orange-tawny of the forests
strips of thorny cactus hedge insured pri-
vacy for the clearing, and here a tamarind
tree reared it's delicate foliage, and here
the broad leaves of bananas rustled, with
foliage all tattered by the breezes. A goat
was tethered to little pomegranate tree in
the garden, and over the cleared soil itself
grew vines of the sweet potato.
A second glance at the hut revealed to
Daniel its exceptional character and sgni-
ficance. Before he saw the strange and

Daniel watched, the negro displayed 1t.
Taking an iron spade and seeking corner
of the garden near his unseen visitor, Jesse
turned aside the long, creeping fingers of a
snake gourd that trailed there under the
shade of a citrOn tree and began to dig in
soft earth AS the old creature worked and
sank swiftly downward into the soil he
sang to. himself in piping treble with the
usual West Indian whine. The voice was
feeble, butt words were sinister and told

rustled out from the cactus fence and stop

its front paws, to listen also. Then the

Sweetland was sole secret audience of the
song. -

evil presence. The refrain rose into a wall,

by a crisp STIMULATION of great winged

Jeffersonian Simplicity.
From the Home Magazine.

FROM the iOme Mustiziuc.
Jefferson was a methodical man, keeping
account of all his expenditures, and the
yellowed accounts kept while he was in
the White House show that he spent $12,-
600 for liquors alone during his term OF
eight years. When we take into considera-
ton the fact that glasses clinked merrfly
around the cabinet table as well as at the
dining table. and that an open buffet was
kept for all callers. this amount is not sur
prising Notwithstanding the low prices.
Jefferson often spent as high as $50 on his
small dinners. wine list not included, and
he was most particular about his wines
and brandies.
Jefferson's state dinners were usually
limited to about forty guests. The large
dining room was not considered finished.
so when his guests were numerous he had
a long table placed In the center of the
great east room. and dismal enough It
must have been. with its bare walls. many
windows and draughts and insufficient
light from the candles. which dropped
wax tears at every wind which blew up
from the Potomac. No wonder Jefferson
and several of his successors looked for
ward dismally to the state affairs and
cheerfully to the informal dinners.

or destroy. Fools fear Obi, and wise men
ind him useful. hence the high priests OF
that satanic cult still thrive. A negro
would no more speak disrespectfully of
them than he would OF his own grand
parents.
Suddenly, as Daniel stared and felt q
growing inclination to be gone, the mystic
himself appeared and stood in the morning
light. He appeared profoundly ancient, and
his ribs made gridron Of his lean breast
His limbs were skin and bone; his scanty
wool was gray; a tangled network of fur
rows and deep lines SCARED and scanned his
face in every direction: and, curiously wide
apart. on either side of huge, fat. Ethio-
plan nose, ,the,man's eyes CLEANED from his
withered headpiece like the eyes of a toad.

ruins Of pair of trousers covered his 1oins
and a band of red cloth circled his throat.
Despite his advanced age, no little physical
strength remained to him, and now, as

Day died while the fugitive kept his hid
ing place. Then swift, but amazing sun
set encompassed him. Rose and gold was
the sky, all streaked with tattered ribbons
of orange cloud. The light SWAIN reflected
upon the sea, and It spread to the lofty ho-
rizon In broad sheets OF reflected splendor.
In it, manifold glory; then the vision per-
ished and inky silhouettes of palm and
plantain and bread-fruit tree stood out
black and solid against the water. Far be-
low the Peabody" lay, like a toy ship,
and twinkled with lights upon the rosy sea.
Darkness leapt out Of the east and under
the fringes of the forest night had already
come. Tree frogs chirruped with endless
crisp tinkle Of sound, the air was filled with
the drowsy hum Of insect life. fire-flies
flashed, and from far below the mournful
booming of the marsh frogs made music
proper to time.
Sweetland pursued his slow way until

midnight came. He climbed on mechanical
ly hour after hour until the air on his
cheek and the stars above him told him
that he had reached some mountain top.
Further for the present it was impossible
to proceed. Until day, therefore, he post
poned thought and action. He frightened
his belt to stay hunger; then rolled up in q
dry corner under the savage and spined
foliage of opuntia, and there slept
dreamlessly until the return Of the sun.

men.
you talk too much, said Ford. Come
in and don't make jokes at your time of
life Think of the devil, your master, and
how precious soon you'll go back to him,
jesse
You my massa. sir; Jesse dun want no
udder massa dan Massa Ford. Marse
Debbil, he no pay such good wages as
you"
Ford laughed and dismounted from his
horse. He was big hard man, roasted
and shriveled somewhat by life in the
tropics. He always wore white ducks and
felt hat that sloped well back over the
nape of his neck. His hair was long and
black, his eyes were also black, and his
face hard clean cut and handsome. But
the narrow slit of his clean-shorn mouth
showed unusual strength of character, and
spoke of greed and craft as well. Tobago
admired Jabez without liking him; the lit
tie island was proud of his prosperity, but
it did not trust him. His downfall would
have brought sorrow to few, for many Sc
cretly disliked him and suspected him OF
dark things. But he was strong, and not a
man among his neighbors would have cared
or dared to fall foul of him.
Now Ford followed the priest Of OBI into
his secret dwelling. where monstrous mat
tiers were hidden in the gloom and evil
smells stole out of the darkness. Three
dried mummies first appeared. One was a
crocodile and hung from the roof; the other
two had been human beings. They sat
propped in corners with dreadful SEM
blance Of living and listening about them.
Festoons of birds eggs. curious seeds and
dried pumpkins were stretched across the
ceiling; skins of animals and birds Uttered
the floor. Unseen things squeaked in
cages; there was piece of red glass in the
roof, and through it. onto wooden table.
there fell a round, flaming eye of light
which luridly Illuminated the assembled
horrors Uncanny and malodorous frag-
ments filed the corners; filth, mystery and
darkness blended here; and across one cor
ner of the hut hung curtain which hid an
arcanum, the holy Of Obeah holies.
Jabes Ford sat down on three-legged
stool by the table, and the red light shone
like a sulky fire amid his long dark locks.
He shifted the infamous air, then took
cigar from his case and lighted 1t.
Meantime, with more pluck than wisdom.
and only thinking of the things that he had
heard and seen. Daniel Sweetland followed
close upon the heels of the strange pair.
Now he stood outside the hut near the open
door, and, crouching here, listened tntently
to the conversation within. Beside him the
tethered goat still browsed, and Ford's
horse sniffed the ground for something to
eat. But only the lush foliage Of the snake
