CHAPTER II.
Soon after Mr. Lund and Mr. Lati
mer had placed their daughter in the
tender care of Mrs. Willis and Mrs.
Mills, they took their departure for
their old home in southern Kentucky,
more to find relief from their recent
nd bereavement than anything else.
Thoy had been there about one year,
among friends and relatives, when It
was whispered about that Mr. Latimer
would join fortunes with a gay young
widow. Thene rumors greatly aunoyed
Mr. Lund, as he was very anxious that
Mr. Latimer, his life-long "chum"
sh-iuld return to Nebraska with him,
and again Mr. Lund wanted Edna
Latimer to remain with his daughter,
who was the idol of his heart.
Here I will have to Introduce Uncle
Ned Lund, who was a trust-worthy
old darkey who had been handed
down from generation to generation,
so to speak, and was the property of
Mr. Lund, when he was so suddenly
lifted out of the bonds of slavery and
set down in the land of freedom with
a ballot in bis baud. Uncle Hed was
one of many who did not seem to ap
preciate their freedom as would natur
ally be expected. He preferred to re
main with "Mars' Jack Lund." Uncle
Ned emigrated with Mr. Lund to the
wilds of Nebraska, as they chouse to
designate the country at that time
TJncle Ned was deeply grieved over the
death of Mrs. Lund, as he had lost a
home and had, as he thought, no place
to go nor no place where he could get
the wholesome food to which he bad
been accustomed. One can hrrdly
imagine the great pleasure and happi
ness that filled the poor old negro's
heart when Mr. Lund announced his
intended visit and wanted Uncle Ned
to accompany him. Iu a very short
time after the party reached their old
home Uncle Ned had regained bis
former vivacity.
It was through this vivacious old
darkey that a forecast of approaching
incidents of interest would be obtained.
Uncle Ned was possessed of the com
bined qualities of humorist, vivacity
and divination, and his volubility was
unimpaired. His vocabulary was
amusing in the extreme. When he
beard a big word he never forgot it,
and would use It whenever occasiou
offered, regardless of Its meaning. He
had a vivid memory and could relate
every little incident that ever hap
pened in any of the families connected
with this story. He could give exact
dates of deaths and births to at least
one generation back. It was through
this indefatigable old darkey that I
came in possession of many of the facts
which I jotted down iu my note-book,
from which I will hereafter often have
occasion to refer. Hence the introduc
tion of Uncle Ned.
"Did you hear de nuae, Mars' Jack?"
asked Uncle Ned of Mr. Lund.
"No, Ned. What is It?"
" W'y, Mars' Mac Latermer is er-gal-autin'
dut hiferludin Missus Ader
fiustis arnun'."
"Well, what of that, Ned?"
' Well, dey guine to hitch jes sho's
you bo'u."
"Now, Ned, you are altogether too
credulous," said Mr. Lund, who was
not at all pleased with such news.
"Now look a here, Mars' Jack, ole
massy neber called me no hard name
like dut," replied Uncle Ned somewhat
. indignantly.
"I meant n harm," said Mr. Lund
apologetically,
"O, I none dal," said Ned, "but sum
nv de folks what aint up to all dese
percrastinatlons mount think yo's
'buseing me, but I tole yer, boss, Mars'
Mac is sho gon', but what's hurtin' me
is, what's guine cum uv little Mis'
Eduer? Sat frolicsum young Missus
Ader won't neber hab her on dey
prlmeses."
"Ned, you always let your credulity
get the upper huid of you, and you are
sure to worry someone else with your
prophecies. I assure you there is
nothing whatever In this."
"Now dcre you go agin, boss; you
ulurs dou't Ned's permulgashuns, but
you know my exemplercations has
alurs been annerlized. I 'ain't lived
dese eighty odd ye'rs fur nuftin, an' j
dat po'r little gal, Edner, la boun' to
hab trubbel. An' agin, what's gwlne
to cum uv little Miss Emmer? Dem
two gals la like two kunts on de same
tree; dey war bo'n tergedderan' hev
alers been tergedder. An' agin, you
alers said dat dem clilldurna, Tom an'
Burt an' Emmer an' Edner war loin'
raised fur each udder. Now what's
gwlne to cum uv 'em? Dey Is sho
gwlne hev trubbel."
Just how much of Uncle Ned's
propheoy came true will hereafter be
seeu. It was but a short time alter
Uncle Ned bad thus delivered himself
until the wedding of Mr. Mao Latimer
and Mrs. Ada Eustis was announced.
It was with considerable emotion that
Mr. Latimer approached Mr. Lund on
the subject. It seems that Mr. Lati
mer had to make a great sacrifice in
the consummation of his marriage con
tract, Unole Ned's prediction was true.
The dashing young widow would uot
accept his offer without consideration.
While she had a little boy of her own,
she agreed to find htm a home among
relatives, and Mr. Latimer In turn waa
to find a home for his daughter, Edna
