CHAPTER II.
Wherein rs a Brief Account Of sundry
Curious Characters Met on the Road.
lage Of u

At Utica they bought provisions
and a tin trumpet for Joe. and a doll
with a real porcelain face for Betsey,
and turned into the great main thor
oughfare of the North leading eastward
to Boston and westward to Il shore
Of the midland seas. This road was
once the great trail of the Iroquols,
by them called the Long House, be-
cause it had reached from the Hudson
to Lake Erie, and in their day had
been well rooted with foliage.
Soon they came in view of the
famous Erie canal, hard by the road.
Through it the grain of the Far West
had just begun moving eastward in
a tide that was flowing from April
to December. Big barges, drawn by
mules and horses on its shore, we're
cutting the still waters of the canal.
They stopped and looked at the barges
and the long tow ropes and the tug
ging animals.
There is real artificial river,
hundreds o miles long, hand made
of the best material, water tight, no
snags or rocks or other imperfcctions,
durability guaranteed" said Samson.

Clinton known everywhere"
Il wonder what next" Sarah ex-
claimed
They met many teams and passed
other movers going west, and some
prosperous farms on q road wider
and smoother than any they had tray-
eled. They camped that night, close
by the river, with Connecticut fam
ily on its way to Ohio with a great
load Of household furniture on one
wagon and seven children in another
So they Jared along through Canaan
daigua and across the Genesee 10 the
village OF Rochester and on through
Lewiston and W the Niagara river
to the falls, and camped where they
could see the great water flood and
hear its muffled thunder. When near-
ing the latter they overlook q family
of poor Irish enigrants, Of the name
on Flanagan, who shared their camp
site OF the falls. THE Flapagans
were on their way 70 Michigan and
had come from the old country three
years before and settled In Braoue
county, New York. They, too. were
on their way to a land OF better prom
lse. Among them was rugged,

In his teens. of the name OF DenniA
who wore a tall beaver hat, tilted
saucily On one side of his head, and
a ragged blue coat with brass buttons,
as be walked beside the oxen, whip
in hand, with trousers tucked in the
tops OF his big cowhide boots. There
was also handsome young man in
this party Of the name Of John Nc
Nell, who wore q ruffled shirt and
swallow-tail coat, now much sofled by
the Journey. He listened TO Samson's
account of the Sangamon country and
said that he thought he would go
there.
Sarah gave the Irish family a good
supply of cookies and jerked venison
before she babe them good-by,
When cur travellers left, next MORN
ing, they stopped for q last look at
the great falls.
Children" said Samson, 81 want
you TO take a good look at that It's
the most wonderful thing in the world
and maybe you1l never see 1t again"
THE Indians used to think that the
Great Spirit was in this river" said
Sarah.
Kind o. seems to me they were
right" Samson remarked thoughtfully,
Kind o seems as if the great spirit
Of America was in that water 1t
moves on in the way 1t wills and no
thing can stop it. Everything in its
current goes along 9TH it."
And only the strong can stand
the Journey said Sarah.
These words were no doubt inspired
by an ache in her bones. A hard seat
and the ceaseless jolting Of the wagon
through long, hot, dusty days had
wearied them. Even their hearts were
getting sore as they thought OF the
| endless reaches Of the roads ahead.
Samson stuffed sack with straw and
put it under her and the children on
