The young man stopped his horse.
II hadn't thought Of that" no said,
with a sad face. 1T isn't fair - ~,
is III Its rather-selish."
"Why don't you go to Brimsteads,"
BIN suggested. "a beautiful girl over
there is In love with you. Honestly,
Harry, there isn't a sweeter girl In
all the world"

said the young man.
"WhyT"

So 1t happened that Harry went on
with BIN and Abe to the little house
In Hopedale. -
They put out the horses. The girl
came and sat on her fathers knee.
Harry sat down by the side OF Abe on
the grass In the oaks shadow.
Its a joy to have the little girl
back again." said Kelso, as he touched
her hair with his hand. 1T is still as
yellow az a corn tasSel. / wonder 1t

Her eyes look as bright as ever

mo compliments. please. l want
you to be downright mean" BIN pro-

said that q man could have neither q
greater nor q less dominion than that
over himself. I hold that II our
young man are to be trained to tyr
amy in q lot Of little niger king
doms, our democracy will die"
Abe made no answer. He was al
ways slow to commit himself.
1.-THE North is partly to blame for
what has COME" said Samson. II
guess our Yankee captains brought
over most Of the niggers and sold them
to the planters Of the South"
"There was a demand for them, or
those Yankee pirates wouldn't have
brought the %niggers," Harry answered.
"Both seller and buyer were commit
ting a crime.s
''They established q great wrong
and nov the South IL pushing to ex-
tend and give It the sanction of law"
said Abe. There Ia the point Of irri-
tation and danger"
II hear that In the next legislature
an effort will be made to endorse slav-
ery," said Kelso.
1T is a dangerous subject" Abe
answered. "Whatever happens, I
shall not fail to express my opinion
Of slavery II I 60 back"
1.-THE time is coming when you will
take the bull by the horns" said
Kelso. There's no fence that will
keep him at home"
Il hope that isn't true" Abe an
swered. "
Soon Mrs. Kelso called BIN to set
the table. She and Harry brought it
out under the tree, where, In the cool
shade, they had a merry dinner.
When the dishes were put away,
Percy Brimstead arrived with his SIS
ter Annabel in their buggy. BIN went
out to meet them and came into the
dooryard with her arm around Anna
bells waist
than thisY BIN asked, as they stood
up before the dinner party.
"Her cheeks are like wild roses, her
eyes like the dew on them when the
sun is rising" said Kelso.
Abe rose and said. 'The day 10
passing. I'll start on with Parsons
and the pony and read my stint afoot.
You come along in a few minutes. BY
the time you overtake me I'll be ready
to get into the saddle"
Half an hour or so after Abe had
gone, Harry's horse, which had been
whinnying for his mate, bounded out
Of the stable and went galloping down
the road, having slipped his halter.
"He will 10 stop until he oveEtakes

suggested.
So the young man brought ~ 80
die and bride and put It Wder -
seat Of the buggy and ut = with
Annabel and her smal1 broehse.
Some two miles down the road Har.
~ found Abe standing between the
horses, holding the runaway by his
forelock. The latter was saddled and
bridled, while the buggy went on
ahead.
"That n 4 wonderful GIRL" said
Harry. as he and Abe were riding
along together. "She Ii very modest
and gentle hearted.
"And a pleasant to look at as the
aowery meadows" Abe answered.
Il have promised to stop there q
