T<Wo black, eager faces bent sud,
denly forward as the dice

upon the low roof of Wuns
SINS laundry. As the tiny cubes tum'
bled over and over, deciding the own
ership Of the two coins which lay be

shooter cried fervently:

To which the other, to counteract the
spell Of the conjure invoked, responded
with equal feryor:
"Call him of, seben! Dat my break

fully toward the coins,
But the shooter forestalled him-fol
the dice had now stopped-and de

He picked up the coins and ostenta'

calling:
Fade me, Cuffyl'
Cuffy faded him by searching long
and laboriously through his clothing
for another coin, which he at length
found and placed beside the one on the
roof. Then the shooter picked up the
aice and juggled them in the hollow OF
his hands. blowing upon his fingers fol

roof the two faces again bent lower,

shack's eyes fell gradually to the
floor. In Imagination he could see
Cuffy over by the window regarding
him curiously aud these other eyes
looking at him with frank confidence.
He tried TO raise his gaze TO theirs, but
could not. What did It mean? He had
never felt timii or abashed before.
When he went into the loft with
Cuffy he was thinking very hard and
very shrewdly He had never been In
a real bed before, and the softness felt
deliciously soothing. but for all that he
did not fall asleep He listened to
Cuffy's regular breathing and thought

but he was straightforward and sharp
with himself, even though 1t hurt. And
at length he heard this strange, tender
voiced nanny beginning to move be
low.
When he went down he accompanied
Cuffy to corner behind large store
house to gather kindlings. There he
made last desperate effort to assert
himself.
Placing Chip upon his shoulder, he
turned fierceiy to bis companion.
"Who's a nigger?" he demanded.
Cuffy laughed IN his face.

"But wha' for yo' act SO, ShackT |

The chip fell unheeded from Shack's
shoulder But he was not boy to do
things by halves. AS they went to-
ward the house he slipped the dollar
he had won into Cuffy's pocket.
"Tell yo' nanny yo' met de crap
