me. ! kept as calm as l could in the
midst Of this excitement.
I passed the house from which the
three riders had just turned into the
road. A number of women and an old
man and three or four children stood
on the porch. They looked at me in
silence as l was passing and then be-
gan to hiss and jeer. 1t gave me a
feeling l have never known since that
day. I logged along over the brow Of
the hill when, at white. frame house.
l saw the center toward which all the
men Of the countryside were coming.
Suddenly I heard the hoof-beats of
a horse behind me. I stopped, and
looking over my shoulder saw rider
approaching me in the costume Of an
Indian chief. A red mask covered his
face. A crest Of eagle feathers circied
the edge Of his cap. Without word
he rode on at my side. knew not
then that he was the man Josiah Cur
tls-acr could I at any time have
sworn that it was he.
A crowd had assembled around the
house ahead. I could see a string Of
horsemen coming toward 1t from the
other side. I wondered what was GO
ing to happen to me. What shouting
and jeering in the crowded dooryardl !
l could see the smoke of fire. We
reached the gate. Men in Indian masks
and costumes gathered around us.
Order! Sh-sh-sh," was the loud COM
mand Of the man beside me in whom I
recognized-or thought that did-the
voice Of Josiah Curtis. "What has
Zone o. them tried to serve a writ

Just then heard the voice Of Pur-
Wis shouting back in the crowd this
plea:
"Bart, for Gods sake, come here"
/ turned to Curtis and said:
IF the gentleman tried to serve the
writ he acted without orders and de-
serves what he has got. The other fell
low is simply hired man who came
along to take care of the horses. He
couldn't tell the difference between a
writ and hole in the ground"
"Men, you have gone far enough"
said Curtis. "This man is all right.
Bring the other men here and put 'em
on their horses an I'll escort 'em out

The schoolmaster and his family

paths and moved the dooryard and did
some painting in the house.
The senator returned to Canton that
evening on the Watertown stage. He
greeted me with fatherly warmth.
Again | felt that strong appeal to my
eye In his broadcloth and fine linen
and beaver hat and in the splendid
dignity and courtesg of his manners.
"Tve had good reports of you, Bart,
ond I'm very glad TO see you," he said

spoken only with him and Sally.
Il shall go up to see them soon," he
said.
The people of the little village had
learned that he preferred to be let
alone when he had just returned over
the long, wearisome way from the
scene of his labors. So we had the
evening TO ourselves.
Mrs. Wright, being weary after the
days work, went to bed early and, at
his request, sat with the senator by
the fire for an hour or so. have al

to be a lawyer and my reasons for 1t.
He told me that lawyer was either q
pest or a servant of justice and that
his chief aim should be the promotion
Of peace and good will In his commun-
ity. He promised TO try and arrange
for my accommodation In his office In
the autumn and meanwhile to lend me
some books to read while l was at
home.
Before we go to bed let us have

you kindly sit down at the table there

''That Is well done." said he 81 shall

me the handsome sum of seven dollars.
I remember that after I went to my
room that night / stitched up the open

tanned my wealth, with the needle and

answer.
He rose and gave me his hand and

sleepless night in the course of which
I decided to cling to the ideals of Da-
vid Hoffman and Silas Wright.

like, poultrified, be-poodled object he
was-burred and sheathed in rumpled
gray feathers from his hair to his
heels. The sight and smell Of him
scared the horses. There were tufts
Of feathers over his ears and on his
chin. They had found great Joy In
spelling that aristocratic livery In
which he had arrived.
Then came poor Purvis. They had
just begun to apply the tar and feath-
ers to him when Curtis had STONED
the process. He had only a shaking
ruff of long feathers around his neck.
They lifted the runaways into their
saddles. Purvis started off at gallon,
shouting "Come ON, Bart" but they
stopped him.
"Don't be in hurry, young feller,"
said one of the Indians, and then there
was another roar of laughter.
"Go back to yer work now," Curtis
shouted, and turning to me added,
'You ride along with me and let our
feathered friends follow u.s."
So we started up the road on our
way back to Coblesklll. Our guide left
us at the town line some three miles
beyond.
Latour was busy picking his arms
and shoulders. Presently he took of
his feathered coat and threw il away,
saying:
They'll have to pay for this. Every
one O. those jackrabbits will have to
settle with me-"
"You brought it on yourself" I said.
You ran away from me and>got us all

They insist that the potatoes

argument is that when the tubers

are delivered to the warehouse, the
time wasted In this way does away
with their profit On the crop.

II may introduce the BILL said
Mr.. Hompe today. "On general
principles l believe the less govern
