"It is a small black pebble of a peculiar shape," explained the girl, "and it was brought from Africa to Barbadoes over a hundred years ago. The negroes believe that a spirit dwells in this stone, and that when it is worshiped the indwelling devil can work woe to those against whom the possessor of the stone bears malice. You can have no idea how this talisman is venerated by all the blacks; they will go miles to look on it, to adore it; they would burn down a city to possess it; to gain it they would murder a hundred human beings.

You know that she calls him the 'great master!' Well--now you can guess the reason for her service worship of this man." "Where is the body, you wretch?" "I don't know if you'll consider them so; but Mrs. Dallas and her daughter go back to their estates in Barbadoes within the month.".

"Can I do so?" "Yes, sir, she do. Arsked me 'bout it, but I knowed nuffin, I didn't." Some time previously Major Jen had asked Etwald about the devil-stick, but only to be informed that the doctor knew nothing of the missing article. She was silent for a while, and then she sat up alive with enthusiasm..
