We Go to Meeting and See Mr. Wright
 Again.
 I had a chill that night and in the weeks that followed I was nearly burned up with lung fever. Doctor Clark Came from Canton to see me every other uuy for a time and one evening MT. Wright came with him and watched all night near my bed side.
 In the morning he said that he could come the next Tuesday morning 1 if we needed him and set out right after breakfast, in the dim dawn light, to walk to Canton.
 Peabody Baynes," said my Aunt Deel as she stood looking out of the window at MT. Wright, "that is one of the grandest, splendidest men that I ever see or heard of. He's an awful smart man, an day O his time is worth more'n a month of our'n, but he comes away off here to set up with sick young one and walks back. Z. Does beat all-don't it?- ayesi"

 was soon out of bed and he came no mort 70 sit up with me. tss- When I was well again, Aunt Deel said one day: Peabody Baynes, ain't Leard no preachtn' since MT.

I kind O feel the need of q good sermon -ayesp ...l
 "All right. I'll hitch up the bosses and we'll go. We can start at eight o'clock and take bite with us an git back here by three."
 I had told Aunt Deel what Sally had said of my personal appearance.
 'Your coat is good enough for any body-ayes !" said she. "I'll make you pair O brooches an then guess you won't have to be 'shamed no more"

 In a moment we heard low wall above the sounds of the breeze that shook the leaves of the old ''popple" tree above our roof.

CHAPTER V.
The Great Stranger

Some strangers came along the road those days-hunters, peddlers and the like-and their coming filled me with joy which mostly went away with them, regret to say. None of these, however, appealed to my imagination as did old Kate. But there was one stranger greater than she-greater indeed, than any other who came into Rattleroad. He came rarely and would not be long detained. How curiously we looked at him. knowing his fame and powerl This great stranger was Money.
 I shall never forget the day that my uncle showed me a dollar bill and little shiny, gold coin and three pieces of silver, nor can forget how carefully he watched them while they lay in my hands and presently put them back into his wallet. That was long before the time of which I am writing. I remember hearing him say, one day of that year, when I asked him to take us to the Caravan of Wild Beasts which was coming to the village:

 One evening neighbor had brought the Republican from the post-office. I opened 1t and read aloud these words in large type at the top of the page:
 "Silas Wright Elected to the U. s. Senate"
 "Wen I want to knowi" Uncle Pea body exclaimed. "That would make me forgit 1t If I was goin' to be hung. Go on anu read what it says"
 I read the choosing of our friend for the seat made vacant by the res ignation of William l.. Marcy. who had been elected governor, and the part which IAost impressed us were these words from a letter of Mir, Wright to Azariah Flagg of Albany written when the former was asked to accept the place:
 q am too young and too poor for' such an elevation. I have not had the experience in that great theater of politics to qualify me for place so exalted and responsible. I prefer therefore the humber position which I now occupy" g .He
 That's his way" said Uncle Pea body. "Tbey had hard work to con- vince him that he knew enough to be Slrrogate."
 Big men have little conceit-ayes !" said Aunt Deel with a significant glance at me.
 The candles had burned low and was watching the shroud of one of them when there came a rap at the door. It was unusual for any one to come to our door in the evening and we were a bit startled. Uncle Pea body opened 1t and old Kate entered without speaking and nodded to my aunt and uncle and sat down by the fire. Vividly I remembered the day of the fortune-telling. The same gen. tie smile ligatrd her face as she looked at nie. She held up her hand with four fingers spread above 1t.
 Ayes" saId Aunt Deel, "there are four perils."
 My aunt rose and went into the but'ry while I sat staring at tho ragged old woman, Her hair was white now and partly covered by a worn and faded bonnet. Forbidding as she was I did not miss the sweet ness in her smile and her blue eyes when she looked at me. Aunt Deel came with plate of doughnuts and bread and butter and head cheese and said in voice full of pity:
 'Poor op Kate-ayesi Here's some thin for ye-ayesp
 She turned to my uncle and said:
 Peabody Baynes, what'll we do I'd like to know-ayesl She can't rove all night"
 .Pl git some blankets an make bed for her, good 'nough for any body, out in the hired mans room over the shed," said my uncle.
 He brought the lantern-a little tower of perforated tin-and put a lighted candle inside of 1t. Then he beckoned to the stranger, who fol- lowed him out of the front door with the plate of food in her hands.
 "WelI declarei It's a long time since she went up this road-ayesi"' IT
