A Few Scenes from a True History;
Concluded.
There was a meeting of the the credit-
ors. Mr. Noble rendered on account of
all his property, in which he was compell-
ed to include L00 L00 ; but for her he
offered to give a note for fifteen hundred
dollars, with good endorsement, payable
with interest in a year. It was known
that his attachment to the orphan he had
educated amounted almost to infatuation;
and his proverbial integrity inspired so
much respect, that the creditors were dis-
posed to grant him on indulgence not in-
compatible wiihtheir own interests. They
agreed to accept the proflercd note, all
except Mr. Grossman. Be insised that
the girl should be put up at auction. For
her sake, the ruined merchant condescend-
ed to plead with him. He represented
that the tie between them was very dif-
ferent from the merely convenient connec-
tions which were so common that L00
L00 was really good and modest, and so
sensitive by nature, that exposure to pub-
lic sale would nearly kill her. The selfish
creditor remained inexorable. 'l‘he very
fact that this delicate flower had been so
carefully sheltered from the mod and dust
of the wayside rendered her a more desir-
able prize. lie coolly declared, that ever
since he had seen her in the arbor, he had
been determined to have her ; and now
that fortune had put the chance in his
pow er, no money should induce him to re-
linquish it.
The sale was inevitable ; and the only
remaining hope was that some friend
might be induced to buy her. There was
a gentleman in the city whom I will call
Frank Helper. He was a Kentuckiun
by birth, kind and open-hearted,—-a slave
holder by habit not by nature. Warm
feelings of regard had long existed be-
tween him and Mr. Noble; and to him
the broken merchant applied for advice
in this torturing emergency. Though Mr.
Helper was possessed of but moderate
wealth, he had originally agreed to en-
dorse his friend’s note for fifteen hundred
dollars ; and he now promised to empower
some one to expend three thousand dol-
lars in the purchase of Loo Loo.
“It is not likely that we shall be obli-
god to pay so much,” said he. “ Bad
debts are pouring in upon Grossman, and
he hasn’t a mint of money to spare just
now, however big he may talk. We will
begin with _oll‘ering fifteen hundred dol-
lars ; and she will probably be bid oil‘ for
two thousand.”
“ Bid oil‘ ! O my God l” exclaimed the
wretched man, He bowed his head up-
ouhis outstretched arms, and the table
beneath him slioolr. with his convulsive
sobs. His friend was unprepared for
such an overwhelming outburst of -emo-
tion. He did not understand, no one but
Alfred himself could understand, the pe-
culiarity of the ties that bound him to
that dear orphan. Recovering from this
uuwonted mood, he inquired whether
thlere was no possible way of avoiding a
so 4:.
“ I am sorry to say there is no way,
my friend,” replied Mr. Helper. “ The
laws invest this man ‘with power over
you ; and there is nothing left for us but
to undermine his projects It is ahazard-
ous l)‘.lBllleSS, as you well know. You
must not appear in it ; neither can I ; for
I am known to be your intimate friend.
But trust the whole affair to me,,and I
think I can bring it to a successful issue.”
The hardest thing of all was to apprise
the poor girl of her situation. She had
never thought of herself as a slave ; and
what a terrible awakening was this from
her dream of happy. security ! Alfred
dlemed it most kind and wise to tell her
of it himself; but he dreaded it worse
than death. He expected she would
swoon ; he even feared it might kill. her.
But love made her stronger than he
thought. When, after much cautious cir-
cumlocution, he arrived at the crisis of
the story,she pressed her hand hard upon
her forehead, and seemed stnpefied.—
'l‘hen she threw herself into his arms, and
they wept, wept, wept. till their heads
seemed tracking‘ with the agony.
“ Oh, the uvengiug Nemesis l” exclaim-
ed Alfred, at last. “ I have deserved all
-this. It is all my own fault. I ought to
have carried you away from these wicked
laws. I ought to have married you.--
Truest most affectionate of friends, how
cruelly I have treated you l you, who put
the welfare of your life so confidingly in-
to my hands !”
She-rose up from his bosom and look-
ing him lovingly in the face, replied,-
" “ Never say that dear Alfred ! Nev-
er lmve such a thought again! You
have been the best and kindet friend
that woman ever bad. If 1 forgot that]
was a slave, is it strange that you should
forget it? But, Alfred, I will never be
the slave of any other man,-—-never! ' I
will never be put on the auction-stand.-—.
I will die first.” ‘
“ Nay, dearest you must make no rash
resolutions,” he replied. “ I have friends
who promise to save you, and restore us
to each other. The form of sale is una-
voidable. So, for my sake, consent to
the temporary humiliation. Will you,
darling?” '
He had never before seen such an ex-
pression in her face. Her eyes flashed,
her nostrils dilated, and she drew her
breath like one in the agonies of death.
Then pressing his hand with a nervous
;grasp, she auswcre(l,— _
" For your sake, dear Alfred, I will.”
From that time, she maintained out-
ward calmness, while iu his presence ; and
her inward uneasiness way indicated only
by a fondness more clinging than ever.
Whenever she parted from him she kept
him lingering, and lingering, on the
lhreshold. She followed him to the road;
she kissed her hand to him till he was
out of sight ; and then her tears flowed
unrestrained. Her mind was filled with
the idea that she should be carried away
from the home of her childhood, as she.
had been by the rough Mr. Jackson,-
that she should become the slave of that
bad man, and never, never see Alfred
again. “But I can die,” she often said
to herself: . and she revolved in her mind
various means of suicide, in case the worst
should happen.
Madams Labasse did not desert her in
her misfortunes. She held frequent cou-
sultations with Mr. Helper and his
friends, and continually brought messages
to keep up her spirits. A dozen times a
day, she repeated,--
“ Tout era bieu arrange.
quille !”
At last the dreaded day arrived. Mr.
Helper had persuaded Alfred to appear
to yield to necessity, and keep completely
out of sight. He consented because L00
L00 had said she could not go through
with the scene, if he were present; and,
moreover, he was afraid to trust his own
nerves and temper. They conveyed her
to the auction-room, where she stood trem-
bling among a group of slaves of all ages
and all colors, from iron-black to the
lightest brown. , She wore her simplest
dress, without ornament of any kiud.—
‘When they placed her on the stand, she
held her veil down, with a close, nervous
grasp. _ .
“ Come, show us your face,” said the
auctioneer.‘ “ Folkls don’: like to buy a
i in a o ‘c, on 'now.
pgSeeingp that’ she stood jiérfectly still
with her head lowered upon her breast,
be untied the bonnet, pulled it off rudely,
and held up her face to public view.-
There was murmur of applause. _
“Show y nrteeth,” said the auctioneer.
But she only compressed her month more
firmly. Alter trying in vain to coax her
he exclaimed,-
“ Never mind gentlemen. She’s got a
string of pearls inside them coral lips of
hero. I can swear to that for I've seen
’em. No use tryiu’ to trot her out. She’s
a leetle set up, ye see, with bein’ made
much of. Look at her, gentlemen l——
Who can blame her for bein’ a bit proud?
She’s a fust-rate fancy-article. Who
bids ?”
Before he had time‘to repeat the ques-
tion, Mr. Grossman said in a loud voice
“ Fifteen hundred dollars.”
This was rather a damper upon Mr.
Helper’s agent, who bid sixteen hundred.
A voice from the crowd called out
“ Eighteen hundred .”
“ Two thousand,” shouted Mr. Gross-
man. 0
“ Two thousand two hundred,” said
another voice.
“ Two thousand five hundred,” exclaim-
ed Mr. Grossman.
“Two thousand eight hundred,” said
the incognito agent.
The prize was now completely given up
t6 the two competitors ; and the agent,
excited by the contest, went beyond his
orders, until be bid as high as four thou-
sand two hnudred dollars.
“ Four thousand five hundred,” scream-
ed the cotton-broker.

Pile? pause, during which every pulsation
in Lao Loo’s body seemed tostop. Then
she heard the horrible words, “ Gone, for
four thousand five hundred dollars! Gone
to Mr. Grossman !"
Th?!’ led her to a bench at the other
and of the room. She sat there, still as
a marble statue, and almost as pale. The
sudden cessation of excited hope had so
stunned her that she could not think.-
Every thing seemed dark and reeling
round her. In a few minutes, Mr. Gross-
man was at her side.
“ Come, my beauty,” said he. “ The
carriage is at the door. If you behave
yoursclf, you shall be treated like a queen
Como my love !”
He attempted to take her hand, but
his touch roused her from her lethargy ;
and springing at him, like a wild-cut, she
give him a blow in the face that made
him staggcr,—so powerful was it in the
vehemence of her disgust and anger.
His coaxing tones changed instantly.
“We don’: allow niggers to put on
such airs,” he said. “ I’m your master.
Yoii’vc got to live with me ; and you may
as well make up your mind to it first as
lost.”
He glowcred at her savagely for a mo-
ment; and drawing from his pocket an
embroidered slipper, he added,-
_“ Ever since I picked up this pretty
thing, I ’ve been determined to have you.
I expected to be obliged to wait till N o-
ble got tired of you, and wanted to take
up with another Wench ; but I had better
luck than I expected.” —
At the sight of that gift of Alfred’s in
his hated hand, at the sound of those
coarse words, so different from his respect
ful tenderness, her pride broke down and
tears welfed forth. Looking up in his
stern fucé, she said in tones of the deepest
pathos,-
“ Sir, have pity on a poor, unfortunate
girl l Don't persecute me i”
“ Persecute you ?” he replied. “ N o,
indeed, my charmer! If you".l be kind
to me}, I'll treat you like stprincess.”
He tried to look loving, but the ex-
pression was utterly revolting. Twelve
years of unbridled sensuality had rendered
his countenance even more disgusting than
it was when be shocked Alfred's youthful
soul by his talk about “ Duncan's hand-
some wench.”
“ Come, my beauty,” he continued, per-
suasively, “ I’m glad to see you in a bet-
ter temper. Come with me, and behave
yourself,”
She curled her lip scornfully, and re-
posted,-
“ I will nevcrlive w’
“ We’ll see about at, my wcnch,”
said he. “ I may as well take you down
a peg, first as lost. If you’d rather be
in the caluboose with niggers than to ride
in a carriage with me, you may try it,
and see how you like it. I reckon you’ll
be glad to come to my terms,before l‘on‘g."
_He beckoned to. two police-ollicers and
said, “ Take this wench into custody and
keep her on bread and water, till I give
further orders.” ,
The jail to which Loo Loo.was convey-
ed was a’ wretched place. The walls were
dingy, the floor covered with puddles of
tobaccojuice, the air almost suffocating
with the smell of pent-up tobacco-smoke
unwashed negroes and dirty garments.-
Sho had never seen any place so loath-
some. Mr, J ackson’s log-house was a pul-
ncc in comparison. The prison was crowd-
ed with colored people of all complexions
and almost every form of human vice and
misery was huddled together there with
the poor victims of misfortune. Thieves,
murderers,‘ and shameless’ girls, decked
out with tawdry bits of fincry were mixed
up with modest-looking, heart-broken
wives, and mothers mourning for the chil-
dren that had been torn from their arms,
in the recent sale. Some were laughing,
and singing lewd songs. Others at still
with tears trinkling down their sable
cheeks. Here and there the fierce ex-
pression of some intelligent young man in-
dicated a volcano of revenge seething
within his soul.
drowsily upon the filthy floor, their na-
tures apparently stupelied to the level of
brutes. When Loo Loo was brought
in, most of them were roused to look at
her ; and she heard them saying to each
other, “ By gum, dat nr an’t no nigger!’
“ What fur dey fetch her here ?" “ She
be white lady ob quality, she be.”
The tenderly-nurtured daughter of the
wealthy planter remained in this misera-
ble place two days. The jailer, touched
by her beauty and extreme dejection, of-
fered her better food than had been pre-
Scl‘lDt:(l»lllfillS orders. She thanked him,
but said s e could not eat. When he in-
vited her .to occupy, for the night, a small
room apart from the herd of prisoners,
she accepted the ol'fer wjth gratitude.-
But she could not sleep, and she dare not
undress. In the morning, the jailer,
afraid of being detected in these acts of
indulgence, told her apologeticnlly, that
he was obliged to request her to return
to the common apartment.
Having recovered somewhat from the
stunning effects of the blow that had fal-
len on her, she began to take more notice
of her companions. A gang of slaves,
just sold, was in keeping there, till it suit-
ed the trader's convenience to take them
to New Orleans ; and the parting scenes
she witnessed that day made an impres-
sion she never forgot. “ Can it be,” she
said to herself, “ that such things have
been going on around me all these years,
and I so unconscious of the ? What
should I now be, if Alfred he not taken
compassion on me, and prevented my be-
ing sent to the New Orleans market, be-
fore I was ten years old I.” She thought
with a shudder of the auction scene the
day before, and began to be afraid that
her friends could not save her from that
vile man's power. .
She was roused from her reverie by the
entrance of a_ white gentleman whom he
had never seen before. He came to in-
spect the trader’s gang of slaves to see if
any one among them would suit him for a
house-servant ; and before long, he agreed-
to purchase a bright looking mulptto lad.
He stopped before Loo Loo, and said
“ Are you a good sempstress ?”
“ She's not for sale,” answered the jail-
er. “ She belongs to Mr. Grossmun,
who put her here for disobedience.” The
an smiled as he spoke, and L00 L00
blushed crimson. *

“ Ho, ho,” rejoined the stronger ‘‘I’m
sorry for that. I should‘ like to buy her,

Some were stretched out _
or footsteps died away.
He suuntered round the room, and took
from his pocket oranges and candy, which
be distributed among the black picuniuies
tumbling over each other on the dirty
floor. Coming round again to the place
where she sat, he put an orange on her
lap, and said in low tones, “ When they
are not looking at.you remove the peel ;"
and touching his finger to his lip, signifi-
cantly, he turned away to talk with the
jailer.
As soon as he was gone she asked per-
mission to go, for a few minutes, to the
room she had occupied during the night.
There she exaininecl the orange, and found
that half of the skin had been removed
unbroken, a this paper inserted and the
peel replaced. On the scrap of paper
was written: “ When your master comes
appear to be submissive, and go with him.
Plead weuriness and gain time. You
will be rescued. Destroy this, and don’t
seem more cheerful than you have been.”
Under this was written, in Madame La-
basse’s hand, “ Soyez tranquille, ma
chere.” .
Unaccustomed to act a part, she found
it difficult to appear so sad as she had
been before the reception of the note.—
But she did her best, and the jailer ob-
served no change.
Late in the afternoon, Mr. Grostman
made his appearance. “ IVell, my beau-
ty,” said be, “are you tired of the cala-
boose-? Don’t you think you should like
my house rather better ?”
She yawned listlessly, and, without
looking up, answered, " I am very tired
of staying here.” ‘
“ I thought so,” rejoined her master,
with a chuckling laugh. " I reckoned I
should bring you to’ terms. So- you've
made up your mind not to be cruel to a‘
poor fellow so desperately in love with
yon—-haven’t you ?”
She "made no answer, and he continued,
“Yon’re ready to go home with me—ure
you ?” .
“ Yes sir,” she replied, faintly.
“ Well, then, look up in my face and
let me have apcep at those devilish hand-
some eyes.” .
He chucked her under the chin, and
raised her blushing face. She wanted to
push him from her, he was so hateful, but
she remembered the mysterious orange,
- and looked him in the eye with passive
obedience. Ovcrjoyecl at his success,
he paid the jailor his fee, drew her arm,
within his, and hurried her to the car-
riagc.
How many humiliations were crowded
into that short ride! How she shrank
from the touch of his soft, swabby hand i
How she loathed tho gloating looks of the
old Satyr l But she remembered the or-
auge, and endured it all stoically.
Arrived at his stylish house, he escort-
ed her to a large chamber elegantly fur-
nished. _.
“ I told you I would treat you like a
princess,” he said, “ audl will keep my
word.”
He would have seated himself; but she
prevented him, saying, “ I have one favor
to ask, and I shall be very grateful to you
if you will please to grant it.”
“What is it, my charmer?” he in-
quired. I will consent to anything reas-
ouable.”
She answered, “ I could not get a wink
of sleep in that filthy prison, and I am ex
tremely tired. Please leave me till to-
morrow.”
“ Ah, why did you compel mo to send
you to that abominable place i It grieved
me to cast such a pearl among swine.--
Well, I wantto convince you that I am
a kind master, so I suppose I must con-
sent. But you must reward me with a
kisfbeforc I go.”
This was the hardest trial of. all, but
the recollected the dangers of exciting his
suspicious, and complied. He returned
it with so much ardor, that she pushed
him away impetuonsly, but softening her
manner immediately, she said, in pleading
tones, “ I am exceedingly tired ; indeed
I am i” .
Hc lingered, and seemed very reluctant
to go, but when she again urged her re-
quest, he said, “ Good night, my beauty,
I will send up some refreshments for you
before you sleep.”
He went away and she had a very un-
comfortable sensation when she heard him
lock the door behind him. A prisoner,
with such a jailer ! With a quick move-
ment of disgust, she rushed to the water-
basiu and washed her lips and her hands,
but she felt that the stain was one no ab-
lotiou could remove. The sense of (log-
radution. was so cruelly bitter, that it
seemed to her as if sh»: should die for
very shame.
In a short time, an elderly mulatto
woman, with a pleasant face entered,
bearing a tray of cakes, ices, and lemon-
adcs.
“I don’t wish for anything to eat,”
said L00 L00, despoudingly.
“ Oh, don’t be giviu’ up (lot or way,”
said the mulutto, in kind, motherly tones.
“ De Lord a’n’t a-gwinc to forsake ye.—-
Ye may jns’ breeve what Aunt Debby
tells yet-.. I’sc a poor old nigger, but I
hub ’sarved dat dc darkest time is aller;
jns’ afore de light come. Est some 0 D

sef strong fur de sake ob yer friends.”
L00 L00 looked at her earnestly and
repeated, “ Friends ? How do you know
I have any friends?” ‘
H Oh, i’se poor ole nigger,” rejoined
the mulutto. “ I don’t knows notin’.”
The captive looked wistfully after her,
as she left the room. She felt disap-
pointed ; for something _in the womnn’s
ways and tones had excited a hope with-
in her. Again the key turned on the out-
side; but it was not long before Debby
reappeared with a boquet.
“Massa seut young Missis dese yer
fowers,” she said. _
" Put them down,” rejoined Loo Loo,
languidly. ’
“ Whar shall I put ’em ?" inquired the
servant.
“ Any where, out of my way,” was the
cart reply. _ '
Debbycautioned her by it Shake Cf
her finger, and whispered, " Massi_i’s out

after inquiring if any thing else was
wanted, she went out, saymt. “ 9000-

. Again the key turned, and the sound

and the blood rushed to her *chcékl._
Weary as she was. she on ma inclination
to sleep. As she sat there, longiiig. for
midnight, she had ample leisure toislrvey
the apartment. It was, indeed,.a bower
fit for a princess. Tue choirs, tablegjad
French bedstead were all ‘ornamented-
witb roses and lillies gracefully intertwined
on a delicate fawn-colored "ground. -- The
tent-like canopy, that partially vcilcdtllc
couch, was formed, of ‘ pink, and white
striped muslin, draped on either side in
ample folds, and fastened with garlands
ofroses. The pillow casesjwere embroid-
ered, perfumed, and edged with frills
quilled as neatly as the petals of a duh-
lia. In one corner stood a small table,
decorated with a very, elegant Parisian
tea-service for two. Lamps of cut
glass illumined the face of ' a large
Pscyche mirror, and on the toilet before
it a diamond necklace and ear-rings spark-
led in their crimson velvet case. Loo
Loo looked at them with a half scornfol
smile and repeated to herself, .
"' He bought lie somewhat high, V
Since with me came a heart he couldn't buy.”
She lowered the, lamps to twilight soft-
ness, and tried to wait with patience.-
How long the hours seemed! Surely it
must be.past midnight.- [ What if Aunt
Debby had been detected in her plot’?—
What if the master shonld"i:oin‘e' in her
stead? Full of that fear, she tried to
open the windows, _'and found ‘them fas-
tened on the outside. Her heart sank,
within her. for she had. resolved, in the
last emergency,to leap out and becrusbed
on the pavement- , Suspense ‘became al-*
most intolerable. She listened and lis-
tened- There was no sound except a loud
snoring in the next apartment. . Was it
her tyrant who was sleeping so near?-
She sat with her shoes in her hand, her
eyes fastened on the door. At last it
opened, and Debby’s brown face peeped
in. They passed out together, the_inulat-
to taking the precaution to lock the door
and put the key in her pocket. Softly
they went down stairs, through the kitch-
en, out into the adjoining alley. Two
‘gentlemen with a carriage were in atten-
dance. They sprang in and were whirled
away. After riding some miles, the car-
riage was stopped, one of the -gentlemen
ulighted, and handed the women out.
“ My name is Diusmore,” he said.‘ “I
am uncle to your friend, Frank Helper.
You are to pass for my daughter, and
Debby is our servant.” ‘
“ And Alfred,-Mr. Noble, I mean,-
where is he I” asked Loo Loo. -
“ He will follow ingood time. Ask no
more questions now.”
The carriage rolled ‘away ; and the
party it bad conveyed were soon on their
way to the North by an express-train.
-It would be impossible to describe the
anxiety Alfred had endured from the time
L00 L00 became the property of the cot-
ton-broker until he heard of her ctcapc.
From motives of policy be was kept in
ignorance of the persons employed, and
of the measures they intended to tekc.--
In this state of suspense, his reason might
have been endangered, had’ not Madame
Labasse brought cheering messages, from
time to time, assuring him that all was
carefully arranged, and success nearly
certain. -
When Mr. Grossmau, late in the day
discovered that his prey had escaped, his
rage knew no bounds. IIc"o_ll'cred, one
thousand dollars for her apprehension and
another thousand for the detection of any
one who had aided her. IIc..madc.cIIc-
cessive attempts to obtain an indictment
against Mr. Noble; but be was proved
to have been distant from the scene of
action, and there was nocvideuoe‘ that he
had any connection with the mysterious
affair. Failing in this, the exasperated
cotton-broker swore that he would have
his llellI't’S blood, for he knew the sly,
smooth-spoken Yankee was at the bottom
of it. He challenged him ; but"Mr. No-
ble, notwithstanding tlic arguments of
Frank Helper, refused, on the ground
-that he held New England gilionsou
the subject of duclling. The eutnkign
could not understand that it‘ , It
far higher kind of courage to rclfi than
it would have done to accept. The bully
proclaimed him a coward, and shot at
him in the street, but without iuflicting a
very serious wound. -Theucefcrth he went
armed, and his friends kept him in sight.
"But he probably owed his life to the fact
that Mr. Grossman was compelled to go
to New Orleans suddenly, on urgent busi-
ness. Before leaving the latter sent mes-
sengers to Savannah, Charleston, Louis-
ville, and elsewhere; exact descriptions
of the fugitives were posted in all public
places, and the ofi'ers of reward were
doubled ; but the activity that excited
proved all in vain. The runaways ha 2
travelled night and day, and were in C «-
ado before their pursuers reached New
York. A few lines from Mr. Diusuioi-e
announced this to Frank Helper, in para-
seology that could not be understood, in
case the letter shouldbe inspected at the
post-ollice. He wrote : “I told you we
intended to visit Montreal ; and by the
date of this you will see that I have car-
ried my plan into execution. My daugh-
ter likes the place so much that I think I
shall leave her here awhile in charge of
our trusty servant, while I go home to
look after my afi"airs."
