Solomon Immediately knocked the
man down who had called them Tories
and seized another and tossed him SO
far in the crowd as to give it pause.

A man back in the crowd let out a
laugh as loud as the braying of an
ass. Others followed his example.
The danger was passed. Solomon
shouted:

KIN GIT erWay
In the morning they learned that
three men had been killed and five
others wounded by the soldiers. Squads
of men and boys with loaded muskets
were marching into town from the
country.
Jack and Solomon attended the town
meeting that day in the Old South
Westinghouse. 1t vas a quiet and or
derby crowd that listened to the
speeches of Josiah Quincy, John Han
cock and Samuel Adams, demanding
calmly but firmly that the soldiers be
forthwith removed from the city. The
famous John Hancock cut a great
figure In Boston In those days. 1t Is
not surprising that Jack was i'm
pressed by his grandeur, for he had
entered the Westinghouse in a scarlet
velvet cap and a blue damask gown
lined with velvet and strobe to the
platform with a dignity even above his
garments. AS he faced about the boy
did not fail to notice and admire the

Mr.. Quincy made a statement which
stuck like a bur in Jack Irons memory
Of that day, and perhaps all the faster
because he did not quite understand 1t.
The speaker said "The dragons teeth
have been sown."
The chairman asked II there was any
citizen present who had been On the
scene at or about the time of the shoot
ing. Solomon Binkus arose and held
up his hand and was asked to go to
the minister's room and confer with
the committee.
MI. John Adams called at the Inn
that evening and announced that he
was to defend Captain Preston and
would require the help of Jack and
Solomon as witnesses. For that rea-
son they were detained some days In
Boston and released finally on the
promise to return when their services
were required.
They had a hearty welcome at the
little house near the Kings Arms,
where they sat until midnight telling
of their adventures. In the midst of
it Jack said to his father:
II heard a speaker say in Boston
that the dragons teeth had been sown.
What does that mean?"
"It means that war Is coming" said
John Irons. I'VE might al well get
ready for It,"
These words, coming from his IA
ther, gave him a shock of surprise. He
began to think of the effect of war
on his own fortunes.
Solomon sent his furs to market and
went to work on the farm of John
and lived with the family. The

Solomon Binkus went often TO the
meetings of the Sons of Liberty. One
purpose Of this organization was to
induce people to manufacture their
own necessities and thus avoid buying
the products of Great Britain. Facto-

women taught the arts Of spinning.
