Harry. Here’s a go, all the boys are off on a lark, having lots of fun, and I’m left all forlorn to pass mv time the best way I can; but what I’ll do is more than 1 can imagine. Let me see, can’t I stir up some kind of excitement among some of these shop-keepers, (looks l.) Ha! there comes an Ameri- can gentleman of African descent down the street, putting on more style than a millionaire. Let me see, can’t I manage to astonish him in some way. ( looks around) Ah ! I have it. (laughs, takes curtain from under coat'^ Its lucky I promised to fix up that ante room for the masquerade to-night, this cur- tain will come handy, (gets on box, puts curtain over his shoulders, holds it with left hand so as to leave right hand free ) Now we are ready for business. Cuff heard off R., singing or whistling Enter Cuff, r., discoveres Harry . Cuff. Good ebenin’. (stops) I said good ebe. (mad) Go to de dickens, you good fur nufiin’ low down white trash. ( looks closer, ivalks around him, looks him all over from head to foot, comes front grinning) Sold again, by the Jumpin’ Ju- piter. (looks at Harry) Dat beats dis chile all holler. Good fing clar wasn’t anybody in sight. Just link ob me, Julius Snoozer Augustus Snowball, a sayin’ good ebenin’ to a plaster ob Paris cigar sign. Oh! dat’ s to excrutiatin’ ; and den to get mad jes’ because he wouldn’t speak ! Hold me, somebody, afore I colapse. ( looks again ) But, by Guinea, dey has got to malvin’ dem fellers so dey look jes’ as natral as life ; but I nebber seed ' one afore rigged up in dein kind of togs, ’spects dat’s de latest fashion, (examines Harry, then steps front of him, standing within two feet of him) Well, its all right, ob course, under de sucke instances, but if dat feller had "been a Jive feller you’d kab seen some fun hyar in about a minute ; f n CUFF’S LUCK. cause why, I’d hab jes’ took off my broadcloth overcoat. ( takes off coat while talking , as he takes it off Harry takes it and puts it under curtain ) An’ says I, gemblemum, stand back, an— — Whar’s dat coat? { runs around excitedly) Well, it dat don’t beat me.. Some chaps done gobbled dat ’ere coat. Jes’ let me get a hold ob him. ( takes off second coat , two or three vests ; Harry takes them as he takes them off and puts them under curtain) Hyar, somebody, hold my hat! ( holds out hat, Harry takes it) Jes’ let me get at him. ( spars around) Come out hyar an’ let me mash you, yer good far miffin’ — By golly, sich doin’s is enough to rile de President. ( comes for - 'ward , Harry runs of l.) Well, dar’s one ling suah, a feller wot will steal won’t light. Now dar was old Pompey Skin- ner, he was de biggest thief- — but what be I talkin’ ’bout, hyar I is eotchin’ my def ob cold, (goes hack after clothes , looks around astonished, comes forward slowly , scared , tries to speak) Wha — wha — dem clothes, (studies) Mus’ be I’m a little off. jSTo, tain’t me dats off, its de clothes. What beats me, dar wasn’t anybody in sight, and I layed my clothes right down dar. ( points , raises eyes, misses Harry, rubs his eyes, trembles) Wha — wha — de dickens am dat statue, (looks all around ) Pat’s a mighty circular circumstances. Dat gits away wid dia chile ; yes, an’ wid my clothes, too, dats wat hurts. (studies ) But say. (runs to box, looks at top carefully , grins, looks again, comes forward grinning) I jes’ got to finkin’ dat dem cigar signs ain’t in de habit ob goin’ down de street promiscuously dat way wheneber dey takes a notion, an’ widout any provo- cation or et cetrea &c., and den when I looked on de top ob de box I seed de marks ob de boot heels, an’ dat splains de whole business. Dat ere statue was some low lived pocket-pick, wat was a standin’ dar a seekin’ whom he might dewour, an’ !l happened to be jes’ de chap he was lookin’ fur. He’s got away wid me; no, not, wid me, wid my clothes. Jes’ dis- robed myself an’ handed ’em to him, an’ he went ofi* widout eber sayin’ tank ye, leabin’ me heah, wid nuffin’ on butdis yei >pair ob low necked trouserloons. But what’s to be did? Can’t go down to see Susie wid dis rig. (studies) Les’ see, two times two am six, an’ four times free am ’leven. Dat odder feller played de statue an’ got away wid my clothes, wat’s de reason I can’t play de statue an’ git away wid somebody else’s clothes. Ob course 1 can. Got to do it; got to hab some more apparel. (gets on box, business trying to get a good posi- tion) ISTow den, I’se ready for business. (looks down street, n.) By golly, dar comes my missus, won’t neber do to let her see me in dis rig. (jumps off box and runs around) . If I run down de street she’ll see me suah, guess I’d better stick to de box an’ take my chances, (gets on box, takes comical posi- tion, shuts both eyes ) Maybe she won’t notice me. 13 • CUFF’S LUCK. Enter Maria, r., discovers Cuff, looks closely , stops y comes r. |; f % p front. Maria . (aside) Unless I’m very much mistaken that is our Cuff. But what is he standing on that box with his eyes shut for? He’s up to some of his pranks. Tills will be a good chance to try my masquerade costume on him, if he don’t know me there will be no chance of Harry finding me out to- night at the ball, (looks l.) As I live, there comes Harry down the street now. X must not let him see me while I have this costume with me, I’ll just step kito a store until he passes, and then I’ll try the effect of my costume on Cuff. (exit, l. Cuff* (opens his eyes ) Golly, but I was scared mos’ to def. But she went by widoufc eber lookin’ at me. I wish somebody v weuld come along*, so as I could borry some clothes, I’se get- ting chilly. (looks l.) Hi, Golly, hyar comes a whitewash- ed feller down de street, lie’s my chicken. ( takes position ' Enter Harry , l., eyes Cuff as he passes by, stops r. Harry . (aside) What in the name of common sense is my colored friend up to. ( studies ) Oh! r see, he has discovered my game and is endeavoring to play it on somebody else. He does not seem to recognize me, so there’s a chance for more fun; so here goes, (walks sloioly back to statue , stops ) What an odd tobacco sign, the oddest I ever saw, there is not the least expression to the face whatever. What a pity when a few strokes of the pencil would have made a fine statue of this — (takes crayon from pocket) — f or instance, something like this. ( proceeds to paint Cuffs face in a most ridiculous manner ) ’How that looks better. ( laughs , goes n.) He looks like a Sioux on the war path. I’lf just get myself out of sight, and when he vacates that box I’ll give him a scare. (exit, r. Cuff. (l. ) Don’t believe dis yer statue business is gwan to suit me; dat ere last feller didn’t play fair, he forgot to took ofl any oh his clothes. Wonder what he was scratchin’ ’round my face dat way fur, maybe he wanted to see if I was de same color clar frough. What de dickens does he know ’bout spres- sion, I reckon I’se got about as much spression as de mos’ ob dem. (business with face) But dis ain’t tendin’ to business. (while he has been talking Enter Harry, r*, wrapped in same pur tain as at first, takes position on box, Cuff is [ stepping on box discovers him, yells, falls on floor, business; Harry runs off , r., Cuff gets up slowly, looks around ) Is he gone?

If I gets my hands on him he’ll git clothes, {spars around — Enter Maria, l., with mask on, and shawl or curtain similar to Harry's, thrown over shoulders, walks up close to Cuff, who discovers her . — — By de Jumpin’ Jupiter, I’se got you dis time, white man. Took off deni clothes afore I smash ye. ( spars around ) Oh ! I knows yer. Took oft dat — ' rushes at Maria, tears mask from her face, staggers hack astonished ) De Lawd Jiminy, its de missus. Weil, dat get’s me. ( goes k. Maria . Cuff, come here ! What in the world’s the matter with you? What ails voiU* face? Cuff . ( coming forward) I guess if you’d hab passed trough de circumstances wot I hab your face would look dat way too. {starts off R. Maria . Cuff, where are you going? Cuff. I’se gwan home, I is ! Maria. Cuff, you your duty should never slight. Cuff, {comes c.) But, missy, I look’s like a fright. Maria. Do your duty, right is right. Cuff. Well den, kind friends, good night.
