crossed the river. Odors Of balsam
and pine and tamarack came In
light, cool breeze up the river valley.
II guess well stop at this tavern
till tomorrow" said Samson.
Joe was asleep and they laid MIN
on the blankets until supper was
ready.
Soon after supper Samson shot
deer which had waded into the rapids.
Fortunately. 1t made the opposite
shore before 1t fell. All hands spent
that evening dressing the deer aud
jerking the best Of the meat. This
they did by cutting the meat Into
strips about the size of mans hand
and Sailing and laying it on rack,
some two feet above u slow fire, ana
covering 1t with green boughs. The
heat and smoke dried the meat In
the course Of two or three hours and
yond any kind OF meat Is venison
treated In this manner. II kept dry,
1t will retain Its flavor and Its sweet
ness for a month or more.
They set out rather late next morn
Ing. AS usual. Joe stood by the head
Of Colonel while the latter Tapped
brown sugar from the timld palm Of
the boy. Then the horse was wont to
touch the face Of Joe with his big.
hairy lips as a tribute to bis generos-
ity. Colonel had seemed to acquire
singular attachment for the boy
and the dog, while Pete distrusted
both Of them. He had never q mo-
ment's leisure, anyhow, being always
busy with his work or the files. A
few breaks In the pack basket had
been repaired with green wlthes. 1t
creaked with Its load Of jerked veni-
son when put aboard.
Farther on the boy got sore throat.
Sarah bound 4 slice Of pork around
1t and Samson built q camp BY the
roadside, In which. after . good fire
was started. they gave him . hemlock
sweat. This they did BY sleeping
hemlock In pals Of hot water and.
while the patient sat in . chair BY
the fireside. blanket was spread
about him and pinned close to his
neck. Under the blanket they put
the pals Of steaming hemlock tea.
After his sweat and . day and night
in bed. with q warm fire burning In
front Of the shanty. Joe was able
to resume his seat In the wagon. They
spoke Of the Brimsteads and thought
It strange that they had not come
along.
On the twenty-ninth day after their
Journey began they came In sight Of
the beautiful green valley Of the Mo-
hawk. As they looked from the hills
they saw the roof Of the forest dip
ping down to the river shores and
stretching far to the east and west
and broken. here and there. by small
clearings. Soon they could see the
smoke and spires Of the thriving VII
lage Of Utica.

Soon they came in view of the

They met many teams and passed
other movers going west, and some
prosperous farms on q road wider
and smoother than any they had trav-

by the river, with Connecticut fam

load Of household furniture on one
wagon and seven children In another.
So they Jared along through Canaan

was also . handsome young man In

Sarah gave the Irish family q good

Sarah.

And only the strong can stand

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

endless reaches of the roads ahead.

whom had had their training on the
Ohio and Mississippi. There was much
drunkenness and fighting in the
crowded streets. Some Of the carriers
and handlers of American commerce
vented their enthusiasm In song.
They had the lake view and it,
cool breeze on their way to Silver
Creek, Dunkirk and Erie. and Q
rough way 1t was In those days.
Enough has been written Of this
