sanctity so that he could not bear to have 1t talked about.
 Samson's eyes glowed with anger. They searched the face of the boy. His voice was deep and solemn when he said:
 This is serious matter. Why do you wish to Keep it a secretT
 The boy blushed. For a moment he knew not what to say. Then he spoke: Tt ain't me so much-it's her." he managed to say. "She wouldn't want 1t to be talked about and don't either"
 Samson began to understand. She's quite girl, guess" he said thought fully. "She must have the nerve of man-I declare she must"
 "Yes-sir-eel They'd "a got hurt if they hadn't gone away, that's sure," said Harry.
 wen look out for them after this," Samson rejoined. "The first time meet that man McNoll he'll have to settle with me and he'll pay cash on the nail"
 Bin, having heard of Harry's part in Abe's fight and of the fact that he was to be working alone all day at the new house, had ridden out through the woods to the open prairie and hunted>in sight of the new cabin that afternoon. Unwilling to confess her extreme interest in the boy she had said not a word of her brave act. f was not shame; it was partly kind of rebellion against the tyranny of youthful ardor; 1t was partly the fear of ridicule.
 So 1t happened that the adventure of Harry Needles made scarcely rip pie on the sensitive surface of the vil- lage life. It will be seen, however, that 1t had started strong undercur- rents likely, in time, to make them selves felt.
 The house and barn were finished, whereupon Samson and Harry drove to Springfeld-a muddy, crude and growing village with thick woods on Its north side-and bought furniture. Their wagon was loaded and they were ready to start for home. They were walking on the main street when Harry touched Samson's arm and whispered: ...,
 "There's McNoll and CalIyhan."
 The pair were walking few steps ahead of Samson and Harry. Tn a second Samson's big hand was on Mo Noll's shoulder.
 'This is Mir. McNoll, believe" said Samson. srs The other turned with a scared look.
 "what do you want O meT" he de- manded.
 Samson threw him to the ground with jerk so strong and violent that 1t rent the sleeve from his shoulder McNoll's companion, who had felt the weight of Samson's hand and had had enough of 1t, turned and ran. "What do ye want O mer' McNoll asked again as he struggled t6 free himself.
 "What do want O you-you puny little coward" said Samson, as he lifted the bully to his feet and gave him toss and swung him in the air and continued to address him. "I'm just goin' to muss you up proper. If

walked sulkily out of the back door. The others crowded after him. They ran as soon as they had got out of the door. She left the window. In mo- ment the young men were galloping away.
 Bim came into the house sobbing with emotion but with her head erect. She stood her gun in a corner and knelt by the helpless boy. He was crying also. Her hair fell upon his face as she looked at the spot of deep scarlet color made by the shot bag. She kissed 1t and held her cheek against his and whispered: Don't cry. It's all over now. I'm going to cut these ropes"
 It was as if she had known and loved him always. She was ne young mother with her first child. Tenderly she wiped his tears away his bonds and he rose and stood be- fore her. Her face changed like magic.
 "oh what a fool I've been" she exclaimed.
 "Why soa" he asked.
 q cried and I kissed you and we never have been introduced to each other"
 She covered her eyes with her hair and with bent head went out of the door.
 "Pll never forget that kiss as long as live," said the boy as he followed her. 'Tu never forget your help or your crying either"
 "Go away from mel won't speak to you" she said. "Go back to your work. I'll stay here and keep watch"
 The boy returned to his task point ing up the inside walls but his mind and heart were out in the sunlight talking with Bim. Once he looked out of the door and saw her leaning against the neck of the pony, her face hidden in his mane. When the sun was low she came to the door and said:
 "You had better stop now and go home."
 She looked down at the ground and added:
 Please. please, don't tell on me-"
 ''Of course not" he answered. "But I hope you won't be afraid. of me any more."
 She looked up at him with a little smile. Do you think I'm afraid of yOuP she asked as If it were too ab- surd to be thought of. She unhitched and mounted her pony but did not go.
 'T do wish you could raise a mus tache," she said, looking wistfully into his face. 'I can't bear to see you look so terribly young; you get worse and worse every time I see you. I want you to be a regular man right quick" a1+
 He wondered what he ought to say and presently stammered: "I-T-in- tend to. I guess I'm more of a man than anybody would think to look at me-" = .E
 You're too young to ever fall in love, I reckon" eN#
 "No. I'm not," he answered with de- cision.
 Have you got a razor?" she asked.
 "No."
 "I reckon it would be a powerful help. You put soap on your lip and mow 1t off with q razor. My father says 1t makes the grass grow"
 There was a moment of silence dur ing which she brushed the mane of her pony. Then she asked timidly: Do you like yellow hair?" |
 "Yes, if 1t looks like yours."
 If you don't mind I'll put a mus tache on you just-just to look at every time I think of you" .s
 "When think of you put violets in your hair," he said. -

you don't say you're sorry and mean 1t I'll put a tow string on your neck and give you to some one that wants a dog"
 "Tm sorry" said McNoll. Honest I am! I was drunk when I done it.'
 Samson released his prisoner. A number in the crowd which had gath cred around them clapped their hands and shouted, "Hurrah for the stranger"
 A constable took Samson's hand and said: "You deserve a vote of thanks. That man and his friends have made me more trouble than all the rest of the drinking men put to- gether."
 And I am making trouble for my self," said Samson. "I have made my self ashamed. I am no fighting man, l was never in such a muss on pub lie street before and with Gods help it will never happen again"

 ''In New Salem"
