that somebody was out in the storm
calling family for help.
ut is the manw said mother. do go
quick as you can" Mother had been
worrying about Samuel all day. She
said she did not want him to perish If
he had tried to wrong us, and father
had been all around the farm looking
for him. He thought, however, that he
had gone down to the village the night
before
We opened the door, and we could
hear the calls for help quite plainly.
Father pulled on his big boots and
started out. The storm was very thick.
Soon we could not see father, but we
/ could hear his shouts and the faint
cries in response, and then we saw ia
Their coming back half carrying Samuel
]. Wetherhed.
Samuel was pretty well exhausted,
besides being frightened and ashamed
when he saw where he was, back In
the house of the man he had tried to
rob. He tried to stop on the threshold
of. the outer door, spent as he was. Il
guess you-don 't-know," he began,
but father interrupted him. Come
along inp' cried father in hearty way
that he has. you have been good to
my children, and as long as you didn't
do what you set out to there's no use
talking about it."
Samuel was pretty well exhausted.
He had spent the night in an old barn
on the other side of the mountain and
had been fioundering about in circles
all day, trying to find the road. How
ever, he was able to eat some Christ
mas dinner with US, though he hesitat-
ed about that, as he had done about en-
tering the door, and all Of sudden he
dropped his knife and fork, bent his
head down over his plate, and we saw
that he was crying, though we tried to
take no notice
Samuel staid with us that night and
was present at the Christmas tree,
though he seemed very sober and dash
ed his hand across his eyes a good
many times when his name was called
out and he got his little presents.

and father put the horse in the sleigh
and took Samuel down to Lebanon to
take the train. We never saw him
again after he had shaken hands with
us all and thanked mother in voice
that trembled so that he could scarcely
speak and father had driven him off in
the sleigh.
That day we girls pulled the corn
balls to pieces and found the bills in
side, not sticky at all. The next day
father took the money to the bank,
though he said he didn't know but corn
balls were safer, since robbers knew
that money was in banks but he didn't
think they had any suspicion of its be-
ing in corn balls.
We spent the next Christmas in our
old home In Wareville, for father and
Uncle William had made up and we
had gone back there toliye. We had a
tree, and the day before Christmas a
great box came by express with a
handsome present for each Of US. There
was no name sent with them, but we
always knew as well as we wanted to.
and father and mother thought so, too,
that they had come from Samuel ].
Wetherhed, who, we had heard. had
settled out west and was doing very
well.
