Abe, who had been sitting with his

rose and said:

In letter to her brother, dated

Samson released his prisoner. A

and said: "You deserve vote Of

Samson wrote in his diary:
"On the way home my heart was
sore. prayed in silence that God
would forgive me for my bad example
to the boy. / promised that l would
not again misuse the strength He has
given me. In my old home I would
have been disgraced by it. The min
lister would have preached of the. de-
struction that follows the violent man
to put him down; the people would
have looked askance at me. Deacon
Somers would have called me aside
to look into my soul, and Judge
Grandy and his wife would not have
invited me to their parties. Here it's
different. A chap who can take the
law in his hands and bring the evil
man to his senses, even II he has to
hit him over the head, is looked up to.
It's reckless country. You feel it as
soon as you get here. In time, 7 fear,
shall be as headlong as the rest Of
them. Some way the news of my act
has got here from Springfield. Sarah
was kind Of cut up. Jack Kelso has
nicknamed me The man with the iron
arms, and Abe, who Is better man
every way, laughs at my embarrass-
ment and says ought to feel honored.
For one thing Jack Armstrong has
become good citizen. His wife has
foxed pair Of breeches for Abe.
They say McNoll has left the country.
There has been no devltry here since
that day. l guess the gang is broken
up-too much iron in its way"
Sarah enjoyed fixing up the cabin.
Jack Kelso had given her some deer
and buffalo skins to lay on the floors.
The upper room, reached by stick
ladder, had its two beds, one Of which
Harry occupied. The children slept
below in trundle bed that was
pushed under the larger one when 1t
was made up in the morning.
"Some time I'm going TO put in a
windletrap and get rid o that stick
ladder" Samson had said.
Sarah had all the arts Of the New
England home maker. Under her
hand the cabin, In color, atmosphere
and general neatness, would have de
lighted higher taste than was to be
| found on the prairies, save In the
brain Of Kelso, who really had some
acquaintance with beauty. To be sure
the bed was In one corner, spread

According 20 Coach Walter Hess,
the Hammond high school track team
Is az good as any in the county and
he bears out this statement with a
comparison of the time made 10y
county teams in the annual meet hcld
recently and the records hung up by
the Hammond squad in the interclass
meet. The comparison shows that
Hammond equals and in some cases
oetters the county tie in practically
all events. Due to an unfortunate
ruling, the local athletes are barred
from state competition his year. but
'Wallie' will not allow the boys to
wemain idle, and he is working hard
TO secure meets for them outside the
