 AS Samson drew near the house he observed a man working on the roof of woodshed. Something familiar in his look held the eye of the New Salem man. In half moment he recognized the face of Henry Brimstead. It was now cheerful face. Brimstead came down from the ladder and they shook hands.
 Good land O Goshen! How did you get here?" Samson asked. Brimstead answered:
 Through the help of a feller that looks like you an the grit of a pair O horses. Come down this road early in September on my way to the land O plenty. Found Peasley here. Couldn't help it. Saw his name on the barn. Used to go to school with him in Or well. He offered to sell me some land with house on it an trust me for his pay. I liked the looks O the country and so I didn't go no further. I was goin' to write you a letter, but I hain't got around to it yet. Amt forgot what you done for us, can tell ye that"
 ''Well, this looks better than the sand plains-a lot better-and you look better than the flea farmer back in York state. How are the chil- dren?"

of the North, who cared not & fig for the property rights of a Southerner. 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 MT. Riggs complained of pain and Samson made, a sling of his muffler and put it over the neck and arm of the injured Riggs and drove with care to avoid jolting. For the first time Samson took a care ful and sympathetic look at him. He was handsome youth, about six feet tall, with dark eyes and hair and a 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.
 I'm both glad and sorry" said Abe. 'Pm glad that you licked the shaver 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 a 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. It reminds me of the man who found a skunk in his house. His boy was going after the critter with a 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, I reckon we'll have to- be polite, whether we want to or not"
 That evening Samson set down the

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I.-samson and Sarah Tray Tor, with their two children Josiah and Dotsey, travel by wagon from their home In VerHennes, Vt, to the West, the land of plenty. Their destination Is the Coun- try of the Sangamon. in Illinois. CHAPTER II.-At Niagara Falls they meet Q party of immigrants, among them . youth named John McNeil, who also decides to go to the Sangamon country. All of the party suffer from fever and GGue. Sarah's ministrations save the life of . youth, Harry Needles, in the. last Traylors. They reach New Salem, Illinois, and are welcomed by young Abe" Lin- coin.
 CHAPTER u1.-Among the Traylors' first acQuaintances are LincolA's friends, Jack Kelso and his pretty daughter Bim, 16 years of age. .s CHAPTER IV.-Samson decides to To- cate at New Salem, and begins building his house. Led by Jack Armstrong, rowdies attempt to break up the proceed inEs. Lincoln thrashes Armstrong. Young the Armstrong crowd, and McNoll threat. ems vengeance.
 CHAPTER VA few days later Harry, alone, is attacked by McNoll and his gang, and would have been roughly used had not Bim driven off his assailants with a shotgun.

At sundown I left them in good hands thirty miles up the road"
 In a frontier newspaper of that time 1t is recorded that the minister and his dog kept the shaver on the roof all day, vainly trying with prayer and exhortation to convert his soul. The man stopped swearing before dinner and on his promise not again to violate handed up to him. He was liberated at sundown and spent the night with Brimstead.
 "Who is that big sucker who grabbed my friend?" the stranger asked Brim- stead.
 His name is Samson Traylor. Comes from Vermont" was the an swer.
 ''If he don't look out 'Liph Biggsn kill him--certain."
 Samson spoke not more than dozen words on his way back to New Salem. Amazed and a little shocked by his own conduct, he sat thinking. After all he had heard and seen, the threat of the young upstart had provoked him beyond his power of endurance The sensitive mind of the New Eng lander had been hurt by the story of the fugitives. Upon this hurt the young man had poured the turpentine of naughty, imperial manners. The more he thought of it the less inclined he was to reproach himself for his violence. Slavery was a relic of an cient imperialism. It had no right in free America. There could be no peace with it save for little time The Missourians would tell their friends of the lawless and violent men

 It had been a cold winter and not easy to keep comfortable in the little house. In the worst weather Sam son had used to get up at night to keep the fire going. Late in January a wind from the southeast melted the snow and warmed the air of the mid lands so that, for a week or so, it seemed as if spring were come. One night of this week Sambo awoke the family with his barking. A strong wind was rushing across the plains and roaring over the cabin and vail ing in it's chimney. Suddenly there was a rap on it's door. When Samson opened 1t he saw in the moonlight young cOlored man and woman stand ing near the doorstep.
 "Is dis Mistah Traylor?" the young man asked.
 Tt is," said Samson. What can I do for youY'
 "Mas'r, de good Lord done fetched us here to ask you fo' help" said the negro. we be nigh wone out with cold an hungah, suh, deed we be-
 Samson asked them in and put wood on the fire, and Sarah got up and made some hot tea and brought food from the cupboard and gave it to the stran- gers, who sat shivering in the freight. They were a good-loOking pair, the young woman being almost white. They were man and wife. The latter stopped eating and moaned and shook with emotion as her husband told their story. Their master had died the year before and they had been brought to St. Louis to be sold in the slave market. There they had es- capped by night and gone to the house of an old friend of their former owner who lived north of the city on the river shore. He had taken pity on them and brought them across the Mississippi and started them on the north road with a 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. MT. Lovejoy had sent them to Erastus Wright of Springfield, and MT. 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, Tazewen 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, a despotic, violent young drunkard of the name of Riggs.
 Samson was so moved by their story that he hitched up his horses and put some hay in the wagon box and made off with the fugitives up the road to the north in the night. When daylight

Enlnrgcd Ton.ils.

In the Journal of Experimental Medicine
last June Drs. Murphy. Witherby. Craig, Hus-
sey and Strum report the results of N-ray
treatment of the enlarged and diseased ton
sils of forty-six individuals. Some of tho
patients had also adenoid enlargement. In
all but four cases the X-ray treatments were
followed by marked shrinking of the. tonslls
and adenoid masses, and with this gradual
shrinking. which extended over period Of
many weeks, the tonsiilar openings crypts
were drained OF their accumulation of detri-
tus or septic or foul material. AS the shrink
ing process started by the N-ray exposures
progressed the previously enlarged tonslls
assumed norma! appearance. More import

X-ray treatment.
Some other investigators have reported less
favorable results from N-ray treatment OF
the tonsils in lieu of surgical removal.
X-ray treatment Is much more expensive
than surgical removals takes many weeks OF
treatment compared with three or four days
of care necessary when tonsils arc removed;
the ultimate effect Is Less certain with X-ray
treatment and even IL the most favorable re-
suits gained the patient still has his tom
