Interesting Slaves Arrive At The
Home Of Samson Traylor, who
With Harry Needles, Has an Ad
venture Of Much Importance on the
Underground Read.
Abe came back from the legislature
10 resume his duties as postmaster
The evening OF his arrival he went to
see Ann. The girl was In poor health.
She had had no news OF McNamar
since January. Her spirit seemed TO
be broken. They walked together up
and down the deserted street OF the
little village that evening. Abe told
her OF his life In vandalia and OF his
hopes and plans.
MY greatest hope is that you will
feel that you can put up with me-" he
said. II would try to learn how TO
make you happy. l think IL you would
help me a little l could do IT,"
III you want me to, l will marry
you, Abe" said she. III cannot say
that love you. but my mother and
father say that would learn to love
you, and sometimes l think 1t is true.
i really want to love you"
They were on the blum that over
looked the river and the deserted mill.
They were quite alone looking down
at the moonlIt plains. A broken sigh
came from the lips OF the tall young
man. He wiped his eyes with his
handkerchief. He took her hand in
both OF his and pressed 1t against his
breast and looked down into her face
and said:
II wish could tell you what is in
my heart. There are things this
tongue OF mine could say, but not
that. shall show you. but shall not
Try to tell you. Words are good
enough for politics and even for the
religion of most men. but not for this

try to express IT,"
He held her hand as they walked on
