1"Well," I says, "when I see the king in that doggery yesterday I says to myself, we can't get him home for hours, till
2he's soberer; so I went a-loafing around town to put in the time and wait. A man up and offered me ten cents to help him
3pull a skiff over the river and back to fetch a sheep, and so I went along; but when we was dragging him to the boat,
4and the man left me a-holt of the rope and went behind him to shove him along, he was too strong for me and jerked loose
5and run, and we after him. We didn't have no dog, and so we had to chase him all over the country till we tired him out.
6We never got him till dark; then we fetched him over, and I started down for the raft. When I got there and see it was
7gone, I says to myself, 'they've got into trouble and had to leave; and they've took my nigger, which is the only nigger
8I've got in the world, and now I'm in a strange country, and ain't got no property no more, nor nothing, and no way to
9make my living;' so I set down and cried. I slept in the woods all night. But what did become of the raft, then?--and
10Jim--poor Jim!" "Blamed if I know--that is, what's become of the raft. That old fool had made a trade and got forty
11dollars, and when we found him in the doggery the loafers had matched half-dollars with him and got every cent but what
12he'd spent for whisky; and when I got him home late last night and found the raft gone, we said, 'That little rascal has
13stole our raft and shook us, and run off down the river.'" "I wouldn't shake my nigger, would I?--the only nigger I had
14in the world, and the only property." "We never thought of that. Fact is, I reckon we'd come to consider him our nigger;
15yes, we did consider him so--goodness knows we had trouble enough for him. So when we see the raft was gone and we flat
16broke, there warn't anything for it but to try the Royal Nonesuch another shake. And I've pegged along ever since, dry
17as a powder-horn. Where's that ten cents? Give it here." I had considerable money, so I give him ten cents, but begged
18him to spend it for something to eat, and give me some, because it was all the money I had, and I hadn't had nothing to
19eat since yesterday. He never said nothing. The next minute he whirls on me and says: "Do you reckon that nigger would
20blow on us? We'd skin him if he done that!" "How can he blow? Hain't he run off?" "No! That old fool sold him, and never
21divided with me, and the money's gone." "Sold him?" I says, and begun to cry; "why, he was my nigger, and that was my
22money. Where is he?--I want my nigger." "Well, you can't get your nigger, that's all--so dry up your blubbering. Looky
23here--do you think you'd venture to blow on us? Blamed if I think I'd trust you. Why, if you was to blow on us--" He
24stopped, but I never see the duke look so ugly out of his eyes before. I went on a-whimpering, and says: "I don't want
25to blow on nobody; and I ain't got no time to blow, nohow. I got to turn out and find my nigger." He looked kinder
26bothered, and stood there with his bills fluttering on his arm, thinking, and wrinkling up his forehead. At last he
27says: "I'll tell you something. We got to be here three days. If you'll promise you won't blow, and won't let the nigger
28blow, I'll tell you where to find him." So I promised, and he says: "A farmer by the name of Silas Ph--" and then he
29stopped. You see, he started to tell me the truth; but when he stopped that way, and begun to study and think again, I
30reckoned he was changing his mind. And so he was. He wouldn't trust me; he wanted to make sure of having me out of the
31way the whole three days. So pretty soon he says: "The man that bought him is named Abram Foster--Abram G. Foster--and
32he lives forty mile back here in the country, on the road to Lafayette." "All right," I says, "I can walk it in three
33days. And I'll start this very afternoon." "No you wont, you'll start now; and don't you lose any time about it,
34neither, nor do any gabbling by the way. Just keep a tight tongue in your head and move right along, and then you won't
35get into trouble with us, d'ye hear?" That was the order I wanted, and that was the one I played for. I wanted to be
36left free to work my plans. "So clear out," he says; "and you can tell Mr. Foster whatever you want to. Maybe you can
37get him to believe that Jim is your nigger--some idiots don't require documents--leastways I've heard there's such down
38South here. And when you tell him the handbill and the reward's bogus, maybe he'll believe you when you explain to him
39what the idea was for getting 'em out. Go 'long now, and tell him anything you want to; but mind you don't work your jaw
40any between here and there." So I left, and struck for the back country. I didn't look around, but I kinder felt like he
41was watching me. But I knowed I could tire him out at that. I went straight out in the country as much as a mile before
42I stopped; then I doubled back through the woods towards Phelps'. I reckoned I better start in on my plan straight off
43without fooling around, because I wanted to stop Jim's mouth till these fellows could get away. I didn't want no trouble
44with their kind. I'd seen all I wanted to of them, and wanted to get entirely shut of them.
