Oh, will you sell him to me,--not to keep," she added, quickly, as she saw the quizzical expression of Hugh's face,--"not to keep.

I would not own a slave--but to free, to tell him he's his own master.

Will you, Hugh ?" He answered with a smile: "I thought once as you do, that I would not own my brother, but we get hardened to these things.

I've never sold one yet." "But you will.

You'll sell me Sam," and Adah, in her eagerness, grasped his hand.
"I'll give him to you," Hugh said.
