Beaumont settled down in a corner OF

awhile Jack slid down beside him,
whereupon he suddenly lighted up and
took as much interest In our flight as
my one Of the party.
We were a wild looking load to the
few people who passed us. Whenever
we saw a farm wagon coming or going
we would shout to its driver to get out
Of the way. They must have supposed
our horse to be runaway. for every
one quickly turned aside. There are
pictures of that ride which l can see
today, so wildly were they stamped
on my memory. An old man with his
hands ON the handle of his plow gaped
through iron trimmed spectacles. a wo-
man In a check gown and sunb0nnet
stopped trimming plants In her gar
den and stood with the shears In her
hand to cape at US as II we were a

earth from the moon and were making

There were no springs to the wagon,

of the road feared that II we did not
