Paxton High School Reflector 19 THE BLACK CAT BONE Among toe old negroes that live in the Brazos bottoms in Texas, there is a superstitious belief about the magic qualities of a bone that forms some part of the anatomy of a black cat. The power of this bone is supposedly s.ich that anyone who is lucky enough to possess it may become entirely invisible by the simple act of putting the bone in his mouth. One evening, I dropped in at the cabin of Old .Joe. 1 had hardly seated myself when the old man remarked that some one was stealing chickens from him and that no matter how close he watched the coop, they continued tc disappear. Knowing his superstitious nature, I remarked that a black cat had crossed my path that evening, and asked him if any ill omen might be seen in this. Old Joe became excited. “Lawsay boy, some low-down trifflin’ nigguh, what am too lazy to work am done got one o’ dent black cat bones an' am a usin’ it to steal ma' chickens wif.” 'But Joe,” I said, What can an old at’s bone have to do with it?” Do wif it?” he cried. “W’y he done put de bone in his mouf an’ s:eal ma chickens right from unduh ma nose, caize I can't see him.” “Well, well,” I said. Sit down and tell me about it. How do you get this bone? Perhaps we can find that cat I saw this evening and get a bone for ourselves.” The old negro seated himself and 1 obtained the following account as to how this magic bone might be obtained. “Fust,” began Old Joe. “You must fin' a black cat that has no sign of a white hair on ‘is whole body.” The importance of no white hair was duliy impressed upon me. ‘Den yu’ mus’ set de pot a ’oilin' and bile dat cat until de meal done drap from off ‘is bones. Den yo’ mus’ take de bones an' yo’ mover’s lookin’ glass an' go to a spring whar de water runs cool an’ pure an wash dem bones careful-like one by one. As yo’ washes 'em yo' mus’ put each one in yo’ mouf an den look in de lockin' glass an see kin’ yo’ see yo’se'f. When yo’ can no' see yo’se’f in de glass, yo' knows you has got it sonny, yo' she' has got it.”—By Guy Gee—Eng. III.
