The stories would travel like fire in
dry grass.
So. swiftly. the thoughts Of men
were being prepared for the great bat
tie lines Of the future. Samson saw
the peril Of 1t.
As they rode along young Mr.. Biggs
complained of pain and Samson made
4 sling of his muffier and put it over
the neck and arm of the injured Bi8gs
and drove with care to avoid jolting.
For the first time Samson took q care
full and sympathetic look at him. He
was handsome youth, about SIX feet
tall, with dark eyes and hair and q
small black mustache and teeth very
white and even.
In New Salem Samson took him to
Doctor Aliens office and helped the
doctor in setting the broken bone.
Then he went to Offut's store and
found Abe reading his law book and
gave him an account Of his adventure.
"Tm both glad and sorry" said Abe.
I'm glad that you licked the SLAYER
and got the negroes out of his reach.
reckon I'd have done the same If
could. I'm sorry because 1t looks to
me like the beginning of many trou-
bles. The whole subject of slavery is
full of danger. Naturally Southern
men will fight for their property, and
there is growing number in the
North who will fight for their prin-
ciples. If we all get to fighting, ]
wonder what will become of the coun.
try. 1t reminds me of the man who
found skunk In his house. His boy
was going after the critter with
club.
"'Look here, boy he said, when
you've got skunk in the house, it's
good time to be careful. You might
spyle the skunk with that club, but
the skunk would be right certain to
spyle the house. While he's our guest,
l reckon we'll have to be polite.
whether we want to or not"
That evening Samson set down the
events of the day in his book and
quoted the dialogue In Offut's store In
which he had had part. On the first
Of February, 1910, he put these words
under the entry:

them and brought them across the
Mississippi and started them on the
north road with letter to Elijah
Lovejoy of Alton and a supply Of food.
Since then they had been hiding days
In the swamps and thickets and had
travelled by night. Mr.. Lovejoy had
sent them to Erastus Wright Of
Springfield, and Mr.. Wright had given
them the name Of Samson Traylor and
the location of his cabin. From there
they were bound for the house Of John
Peasley, In Hopedale, Tazewell county.
Lovejoy had asked them to keep the
letter with which they had begun
their travels. The letter stated that
their late master had often expressed
his purpose Of leaving them their free
dom when he should pass away. He
had left no will and since his death the
two had fallen into the hands Of his
nephew. q despotic, violent young
drunkard Of the name Of Biggs.
Samson was so moved by their story
that he hitched up his horses and put
some hay in the wagon box and made

"Please don't ever look at the new

In half whisper.
The young man laughed. "Why
not?"
"If you do. you'll never get mar

"Don't be alarmed by my daugh-
ter's fancies," Kelso advised. "They
are often rather astonishing"
So Mr.. Eliphalet Biggs met the
pretty daughter Of Jack Kelso. On
his way back to the tavern he told
Ann that he had fallen in love with
the sweetest and prettiest girl in all
the world-Bim Kelso. That very
evening Ann went over to Kelso's
cabin to take the news to Bim and her
mother and to tell them that her IA

the three had the cabin to themselves.

In musty old ledger kept by James
Rutledge. the owner of Rutledge's tav-
ern, in the year 1882. is an entry un-
der the date of January 31st which
reads as follows:
ARRIVED this day Eliphalet Biggs
of 20 Olive street, st. Louis. with one
horse"
Young Mr.. Biggs remained at Rut-
ledge's tavern for three weeks with
mis- arm in a sling under the eye of
the good doctor. The Rutledges were
Kentucky folk and there the Young
man had found sympathetic hearing
and tender care.
It had done him good to he hurled

master. He had never met his master
until he had reached Hopedale that
morning. The event bad heen too long

grown rank in the soil Of his spirit.

"Oh. purity as picture. black eyes

"'That's enough!" BIN exclaimed.

"I'm scared" was the answer.

eight o'clock he came to a frame house
and barn, the latter being of unusual
size for that time and country. Above
the door of the barn was a board
which bore the stenciled legend: !:
John Peasley, Orwell Farm"
AS Samson drew near the house he
observed man working on the roof
of a woodshed. Something familiar in
his look held the eye Of the New Salem
man. In half moment he recognized
the face of Henry Brimstead. 1t was
now cheerful face. Brimstead came
down from the ladder and they shook
hands.
