She entrusts the letter to the care of Uncle Ranse, her faithful old Black servant. After the obsequies, Uncle Ranse and Albert start out to the Abbeville Court House, where lives the colonel. Their scant supply of food is soon devoured and Uncle Ranse, touched by the little fellow's pitiful call for food, leaves him and starts out to get supplies. Just as he is about to appropriate a bag of potatoes, he is apprehended and taken to town. Meanwhile, Albert has been picked up by Captain Ransom, who happened to be passing along the road. The captain and Albert later meet Uncle Ranse and his captor and there is instant recognition between the old servant and the little boy. Uncle Ranse's explanation releases him, and the captain sends the pair on to the Abbeville Court House, where they are well-fed for the first time in many days.
