The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1889-12-26

Now Helen was quite satisfied In her own
mind that the little surprise had done its
work, but that evening her brother brought
home the weekly mail, and In it, after all her
weary waiting, little surprise for her. It
was q copy Of The Tekeewah (Kan.) Bugle,
and great was the wonder In the family as to
the why and wherefore Of its coming; but
Helen knew. There wasn't a mark Of any
kind on the printed sheet, 30 she set herself
resolutely to read every line. Never had Tar
western publisher In the most heated cam
paign a more devoted reader, and at last,
In loaded article In the page headed
"Local intelligence" she found list cf
members of q new fire company, and among
the names was ALBERT Merritt A writer
In the County Correspondence" Of the
next issue Of The County Democrat told OF
'tour fair ladies who charmed the audience
with their music" at certain Christmas eve
church festival, and, by request conveyed In
note inclosing the stamps, the publisher d.
rected copy to "A. Merritt, Esq, Tekee-
wah, Kan" And this sort Of thing went on
for eight months more, and the golden au-
tumn set In and the country was most
nightly stirred over the presidential cleo
ton, and the Blakes and the Merritts began
to look forward with strangely mingled feel
ings to another Christmas
William Merritt was the same and yet not
the same. His hair, which was just streaked
with gray when his con Albert had left him,
was now whitening visibly. His broad, bur
ly shoulders had begun to stoop. His hard
eyes had lost somewhat of their steadiness,
and occasionally there were lines denoting
mental pain visible in his austere counte-
nance. His voice, too, sometimes quavered
in way that astonished no one more than
himself. And one day Just after the sorrel
colt-a Wild, vicious beast, he was breaking to
the saddle-had almost thrown him on the
way to town, he had caught himself audibly
wishing that Albert, who must be full
grown, strong man by this time. were there to
help suhjugate the animal
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1889-12-26

The next day there was such Christmas
gathering at William Merritts house as had
never been there before. Such roast turkey
with cranberry sauce, and such juicy mince
pies, and such mealy potatoes, and such fine,
white home made bread, and such good things
to eat generally as they who sat down at the
dinner table partook of have never been ex-
celled. All. the Blakes were there, and so
were all the members of that class of eight,
whose photographs were the first weapon
Helen had employed In storming William
Merritt's flinty old heart
And Sam McCorkle, too the drunken shoe
makers son, full of far western dash and bis
torian Of the time "Al rescued the baby"
He was "Mr. McCorkle." an honored guest
and no one received greater respect than he
But he did not rise to the height of his glory
TIL evening, for at the dinner table Albert
would not suffer his own praises to be sung
In too high key. But when Albert, SEEM
ing to have something particular to say to
Helen, whose great, brown eyes sparkled un-
wontedly and whose cheeks persisted in
blushing furiously, led her away with him
into quiet corner and left the field to Sam,
that individual chanted his hero's deeds to
his hearts content and everybody elses de-
light, though he did not let slip the oppor-
tunities to tell of some things lie had himself
accomplished in the west.
The close of this veracious history may be
clipped from The Tekeewah Bugle of March
15, 1869:
"Mr. Samuel McCorkle, the gentiemanly
and enterprisng agent for Flash & Hittem's
justly celebrated lightning rods, has returned
from Indiana healthy and happy. His friend
and our former townsman, Mr.. Albert Mer-
ritt, has concluded to remain east, where he
will settle down upon his fathers extensive
farms. A little bird has whispered that the
blind god had something to do with Mr..
Merritt's decision to forego a sh-lre in the
golden future sure to come to Tekeewah

companied by his fast friend, Mr. Sam Mo-
Corkle, the well known lightning rod agent. :"
The stage was duo TO pass William Merritt's
house at 4:30 O'Clock on Christmas eve, but
the roads were bad and it was quite dark
when, with sweeping curve, 1t swerved to
the side Of the pike and stopped In front Of
the house, In the open front doorway Of which,
In strong silhouette against the food Of light
within, stood the burly form of William
Merritt, his hands outstretched with trem-
bling hopefulness
Come along, SAM" said one Of the young
men who dismounted from the back seat OF
the high stage, II need you yet"
There was cry, In which recognition, vel
come and forgiveness were all blended from
the figure in the doorway, and an answer
from the taller Of the travellers, who still car
riAd one arm In sling. And a moment later
William Merritt led this one into his house.
Mother" he said, ''our boy has come
back"
In the ecstatic Joy Of meeting his mother,
Albert had forgotten Sam McCorkle, and
when be looked for him that individual had
disappeared AS he afterward explained, he
didn't feel Ike be was any use when folks
was all a-cryin' and a-weepin' and fallin' on
each others neclZs, SO he Just sloped.n
But Albert did not look for Sam very long
He had much to tell Of bis new life in the
west, where he had been fairly successful, and
his father and mother and brothers and sis
ters had quite as much to tell him
