self lifted behind him.
They had a very pleasant ride, but
Sam Williams was not mentioned. He
told her of his farm, the new cabin he
had just built, and mentioned the good
qualities of another horse he had at

1t was nearly time for supper when
old John Scott saw Abe Howard riding
up the pathway to his cabin, and to his

From eyes on which no farewell beamed,
