A
negro
slave
belonging
to
a
visitor
from
Cuba
had
just
been
abducted
and
set
free
,
because
the
laws
of
Pennsylvania
made
freedom
the
right
of
any
negro
brought
into
the
state
,
even
though
in
transit
only
to
another
portion
of
the
country
,
and
there
was
great
excitement
because
of
it
.
Several
persons
had
been
arrested
,
and
the
newspapers
were
discussing
it
roundly
.
"
I
do
n't
think
the
South
is
going
to
stand
for
this
thing
.
It
's
making
trouble
in
our
business
,
and
it
must
be
doing
the
same
thing
for
others
.
We
'll
have
secession
here
,
sure
as
fate
,
one
of
these
days
.
"
He
talked
with
the
vaguest
suggestion
of
a
brogue
.
"
It
's
coming
,
I
think
,
"
said
Cowperwood
,
quietly
.
"
It
ca
n't
be
healed
,
in
my
judgment
.
The
negro
is
n't
worth
all
this
excitement
,
but
they
'll
go
on
agitating
for
him
--
emotional
people
always
do
this
.
They
have
n't
anything
else
to
do
.
It
's
hurting
our
Southern
trade
.
"
"
I
thought
so
.
That
's
what
people
tell
me
.
"
He
turned
to
a
new
customer
as
young
Cowperwood
went
out
,
but
again
the
boy
struck
him
as
being
inexpressibly
sound
and
deep-thinking
on
financial
matters
.
"
If
that
young
fellow
wanted
a
place
,
I
'd
give
it
to
him
,
"
he
thought
.
Finally
,
one
day
he
said
to
him
:
"
How
would
you
like
to
try
your
hand
at
being
a
floor
man
for
me
in
'
change
?
I
need
a
young
man
here
.
One
of
my
clerks
is
leaving
.
"
"
I
'd
like
it
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
smiling
and
looking
intensely
gratified
.
"
I
had
thought
of
speaking
to
you
myself
some
time
.
"
"
Well
,
if
you
're
ready
and
can
make
the
change
,
the
place
is
open
.
Come
any
time
you
like
.
"
"
I
'll
have
to
give
a
reasonable
notice
at
the
other
place
,
"
Cowperwood
said
,
quietly
.
"
Would
you
mind
waiting
a
week
or
two
?
"
