Samson arrived and bought a small
house and two acres of land on the
edge Of the village and returned to
New Salem to nov his family and
furniture. When they drove along the
top of Salem hill a number Of the
houses were empty and deserted, their
owners having moved Away. Two Of
the stores were closed. Only ten fami-
lies remained. They stopped at Rut
ledge's tavern, whose entertainment
was little sought those days. People
from the near houses came to bic
them good-by.

dancing and being proudly surveyed
by their mothers.
AS Harry and the ladies were leav-

That night Harry and BIN stood by

gone into the house.

Meanwhile I'm going to pray for you"
"And I for you." he said as he fol-
lowed her into the house, where the
older people sat waiting for them.
Harry gave the papers to BIN to be
signed and attested and forwarded
to Mr.. Stuart in Springfield. ~
On their way to the hotel Samson
said to Harry:
II don't believe BIN is going to be
carried away by any of theee high
flyers. She's getting to be a very
sensible person. Poor Jack has caught
the plague. He has invested in land.
Thinks it will make him rich. He's
in poor health, too-kidney trouble
and Rim has a baby with all the rest
"a beautiful, boy. l went upstairs and
saw him asleep in his cradle. Looks
like her. Hair as yellow as gold, light
complexion, blue eyes, handsome as

That night, in the Office Of the City
hotel, they found Mr.. Lionel Davis in
the midst of a group of excited specu-
lators. In some way he had got across
the pIalrleS anu WAS seliiAS HIS laliu
and accepting every offer on the plea
that he was going into the grain bust

Chicago next day. He choked the
market with bargains. The buyers
began to back off. Mr.. Davis closed

ut was a kind Of horse stealin','
said Samson as they were going to
bed. "He got news down there on the
main road by pony express on it's way
to st. Louis. I'll bet there's been a
panic in the East. He's awake and
the others are still dreamin'."
