CHAPTER XVI.
The ArtfuIness Of Sam.


For brief time there might have
been found support for that ideally in
accurate statement OF our Constitu-
ton which holds that all men are born
free and equal, entitled TO life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness. With
all our might we belle this clause.
though in the time OF Ellisville II
might have had some footing. That
day has long since passed
The stamping of the social die had
begun its work. Indeed, after a time
there came to be in the great dining
room OF the stone Hotel little groups
bounded by unseen but impossible
lines.
Sam. the owner of the livery barn,
had one table In the corner. where he
invariably sat His rlode OF entering
the diningroom varied not with the
passing of the years. Appearing at the
door, he cast a frightened look at the
occupants who had preceded him, and
in whose faces he could imagine moth
ing but critical censure of his own
person. Becoming aware of his hat,
he made dive and hung II up. Then
he trod timidly through the door with
a certain side-draught in his step. yet
withal an acceleration of speed which
presently brought him almost at a
run TO his corner of refuge. where he
dropped, red and with a gulp. When
Nora stood at his chair, and repeated
to him frostily the menu OF the day,
all the world went round to Sam. and
he gained no idea OF what was offered
him. With much effort at noncha-
lance, he would again wipe his face,
take up his fork for twiddling, and
say always the same thing.
"Oh, Amt very hungry; jes' bring
me a little pie an beef an coffee"
And Nora, scornfully ignoring all this,
then departed and brought him many
things. setting them In array about
his plate. and enabling him to eat as
really he wished. Whether Sam knew
that Nora would do this Is a question
which must remain unanswered, but
II is certain that he never changed
the form Of his own order"
Sam was a citizen. He had grown
up with the town. He was, SO TO
speak, one of the charter members OF
Ellisville. and thereby entitled TO con-
sideration. There was no reason why
Sam might not look any man in the
face, or any woman. But this latter
Sam had never done. His admiration
for Nora bade fair to remain a secret
known OF all but the one most inter
'ested. Daily Sam sat RI the table and
listened to Nora's icy tones. Daily he
arose with the stern resolve that be
fore the sun had set he would have
told this woman Of that which so OPP
pressed him; yet each day, after he
had dined. he stole furtlvely away TO
the hat rack and slonched across the
street 10 his barn, gazing down at
his fed with abasement ON his soul

In celia's Garden.

When Celia seeks her garden ground,
With smiling blue above her.
The little blossoms all around
Do lift their heads to love her;
And they with kisses cool and sweet
In fond embraces linger,
At rest upon her dainty feet
Or on her snowy finger.
Now shall thing of green and white,
That hath nor sense nor seeing
BE held more dear in Celia's sight
han some poor mortal being?
Shall blue and red that fades apace,
In rainy breezes rocking
Be counted worthy Celiafs grace,
And l be made her mocking?
fe foolish buds, that all arrow
With feigned smiles cajole her,

The charm that shall control her.
My heart, doth each storm survive
Nor any frost can harden,
May flourish yet, and bloom and thrive.
