CHAPTER XIX.
Wherein lie One Of the Many Private
Panics Which Followed the Bursting
Of the Bubble of Speculation.

Samson and Harry saw the bursting
night. Disaster, loathsome and thou
sand-legged, crept into the little city.
II came on a steamer from the East
and fastened from home to home
from tavern to tavern. Great banks
had suspended payment; New York
had suffered panic; many large bust
ness enterprises in the East had
failed; certain agents for the bonds
of Illinois had absconded with the
states money; in the big cities there
had been an ominous closing of doors
and turning of locks; a great army
OF men we're out of employment. The
little city was In frenzy OF excitement.
The streets were filled with a shout
ing, half-crazed throng. New fortunes
had shrunk to nothing and less than
nothing In a night. Lots In the city
were offered for a 1.-THE of what their
market value had been. Davis had
known that the storm would arrive
with the first steamer and in the
slang of business had put on life
pFeserver. Samson knew that the
time to buy was when every one
wanted to sell. He bought two corner
lots in the city and two acres on the
prairie half a mile from town. They
got their deeds and went to the KEEL
SOS to bid them good-by.
After hearty farewells Samson and
Harry set out for their home. They
were not again to see the gentle face
and hear the pleasant talk of Jack
Kelso. He had once said, in the pres
ence of Samson, that 1t is well to
remember, always, that things can not
go on with US as they are Changes
come-slowly and quite according to
our calculations, or so swiftly and
unexpectedly that they fill us with
confusion. Learned and wise In the
weighty problems of humanity he had
little prudence In regulating the af-
fairs of his own family.
Kelso had put every dollar he had
and some that he hoped to have into
land. BIN, who had been teaching In
one of the schools, had invested all
her savings in q dream city on the
shore of an unconstructed canal.
Like many who had no experience
with such phenomena they underesti-
mated the seriousness OF the panic.
They thought that, in week or so.
Its effect world pass and that Illinois
would then resume its triumphal
march toward It's high destiny. Not
even Samson Traylor had correct
notion OF the slowness of Time.

very grand young man was coming to
take us in a wonderful carriage, but
he's half an hour late now. We won't
wait for him"
So the three set out together afoot
for Mrs. Kinzie's, while Samson sat
down for a visit with Jack Kelso.
The Kinzies' house was of brick
and larger and more pretentious than
any in Chicago. Its lawn, veranda
} and parlor were crowded with people
in a curious variety Of costumes.
Nearly all the festive company wore
diamonds. They scintillated on fin
gers, some Of which were knotted with
toll; they glowed on shirt bosoms and

on necks and ears, which should have
been spared the emphasis of Jewels.
Col. Zachary Taylor, who had just
arrived from Florida and was pres
emily returning with regiment of re-
cruits for the Seminole war, was
at Mrs. Kinzie's party. He remem-
bered Harry and took him in hand
and introduced him to many of his
friends as the best scout In the Black
Hawk war, and, in spite of his dress,
the young man became one of the
lions of the evening.

"There are no better men," she an

Meanwhile I'm going to pray for you"
"And I for you" ne 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:

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 prairles and was selling his land
and accepting every offer on the plea
that he was going into the grain bust
ness in st. Louis and had to leave
Chicago next day. He choked the
market with bargains. The buyers
began to back off. Mr.. Davis closed
his carpet bag and left.

said Samson as they We're going to
