In time Jack had saved S9OO and needed only another hundred to make him free. His master told him that it wouldn’t be long now until he could get another hundred.

Both got off the track, but Jack’s companion fell and, striking his head against a rock, was killed. Jack hurried as rapidly as he could to his master’s house. It was a late hour, but the master must hear him. He said, “Gimme mah money right now.” The astonished master remonstrated, saying, “But. Jack, you need only another hundred dollars to get free.” “I knows it, Mars’ Henry, I knows it, but niggers is too onsartin.
