briskly in the joyful midst Of her
schoolmates, when she saw her foster
father reckoning her at the foot

Shickshack led her where there was
no path through ascending woods,
parting naked bushes for her, and help

come almost a powder of flakes covered
with moss.
Where are we going?" she inquired
more than once.

A WESLEY INCIDENT.
Was Followed in "a Year
by Twenty More.

The societies met on Sundays, but
never at the hour of church service,
and, when neither Wesley nor any
other clergyman was present, spent
the hour in prayer and religious con-
yersation or exhortation. From ex.
hortation before the society to formal
preaching before it was only step:
but to Wesley it seemed very long
step, writes c. T. Winchester in

fury.
While in Bristol he learned, one
day in 1889, that one of his converts,
Thomas Maxfield, had been preaching
before the Foundry society. He hur-
ried up to London to stop it. But his
mother-who since the death of her
husband had been living in a room Of
the Foundry building-met him with
a protest: John, take care what you
do with reference to that young man,
for he Is as surely called to preach as
you are" Admonished by this coun-
sci from one whose caution on all
churchIy matters he knew to be quite
equal to his own, Wesley reluctantly
consented to hear Maxfield preach.
after listening, he exclaimed: at is
the Lords doing; let him do as
seemeth to him good" Convinced in
spite of deep-rooted Discrimination,
he sanctioned the first Methodist lay
preacher. Within a year there wero

upright, holding his knife, on which
frozen blood was crystallized. Two or
three dead wolves lay outside the log
on the snow. But not one of them
was frozen sitter than the Indian,
who, after his own fashion, had given
life itself for the safety of his adopted
child.
Peggy would not believe he was
dead. She chung to his old shoulders,
and screamed to rouse him. The Sac,
who loved white men, and had never
failed to answer the appeal of his white
child, silently blocked the entrance Of
the log. His eyebrows were hoar frost,
and the dark ruddiness of his face and
neck seemed crusted with rough silver.
Peggy's wild crying might have re-
sounded long in the hollow log, and
brought no person to help her. For
all around was the vast prairie stretch
ing from horizon to horizon, a glare
! of whiteness unpierced by the smoke of
a single fire. But two figures toiled
| toward New Salem through the early
cold, wading with effort, and finally
making for the hummocl in which they
recognized the submerged log. Lincoln
and his chain-bearer encountered
the frozen Indian and the crying girl
as they stopped to enter and warm

agreement, stopped the OK sled they
had borrowed, at the door of Rutledge'e

him to his own cabin" In death, at
least, he should escape from the en-
vironment which Sally made, and be
publicly honored.
Antywine went directly to carry the
news to the widow, and Sally heard it,
making clicking sound Of disapproval
with her tongue.

The sloughs were frozen, and frost
blackened grass crisped under his feet.
Nowhere could any farmhouse light
be seen, and the gentle flicker-like
insect wings had become driving
storm of snow. Shickshack found the
road stretching southwest toward Jack
sonville, and plodded steadily along.
Jogging through an immensely of night
and cold and drifting whiteness, Peggy
ceased to beg that he would let her
walk, and lapsed into such drowsiness
that he was obliged to shake her when
he set her down. By this time the chill
windrows were nearly to his knees.
Unsheltered by his body, she felt the
dry spume spinning in her face.

Every new Salemite had heard of or

struggle was muffied by the log, until

ran across the snow.

Reluctantly, in spite of the cold.
Peggy crawled past him into the deep

wood and threw it out after it's mother.
