london and the PhIIosopher.


The stir and prodigious reach Of
London had appalled, the young man.
The thought thrilled him that some
where in the great crowd, of which
he was now a part, were the two hui
man beings he had come so far to see.
He put on his best clothes and with
the letter which had been carefully
and pinned to his pocket lining
through the day-set out in a cab for
the lodgings of Doctor Franklin.
Through a maze of streets where
people wore "thick as the brush in the
forests Of Tryon county" he proceeded
until after a journey of some thirty
minutes the cab stopped at the home
Of the famous American on Blooms
bury square. Doctor Franklin was in
and would see him presently, so the
liveried servant informed the young
man after his card had been taken to
the doctors office. He was shown
into a reception room and asked to
wait, where others were waiting. An
hour passed and the day vas growing
dusk when all the callers save Jack
had been disposed of. Then Franklin
entered. Jack remembered the strong,
well-knit frame and kindly gray eyes
of the philosopher. His thick hair,
hanging below his collar, was now
white. He was very grand in a suit of
black Manchester velvet with white
silk stockings and bright silver buckles
on his shoes. There was a gentle dig
nifty in his face when he took the
boys hand and said with a smile:
you are so big, Jack. You have
built a six foot two inch man of that
small lad 1 knew in Albany, and well
finished, too-great thighs, heavy
shoulders, a mustache, a noble brow,
and shall l say the eye of Mars? It's
a wonder what time and meat and
bread and potatoes and air can ac-
complish. But perhaps industry and
good reading have done some work on
the Job"
Jack blushed and answered: "It
would be hard to fix the blame"
Franklin put his hand on the young
mans shoulder and said:
"She Is a lovely girl, Jack. You
have excellent good taste. I congratu-
late you. Her pulchritude has a
background Of good character and she
is alive with the spirit of the New
World. I have given her no chance
to forget you if that had been possible.

lacks keeping.
About noon on the twenty-ninth Of
November they made Dover and an
chored in the Downs. Deal was about
three miles away and it's boats came
off for them. They made a circuit and
sailed close In shore. Each boat that
went for passengers had it's own land
ing. It's men threw a rope across the
breakers. This was quickly put on a
windlass. With the rope winding on
its windlass the boat was slowly
hauled through the surge, it's occu-
pants being drenched and sprinkled
with salt water. They made their way
to the inn of the Three Kings where
two men stood watching as they APP
preached. One of them Jack recog-
nized as the man Stops with the black
pipe in his mouth.
'That's him." said the man with the
black pipe, pointing at Solomon,
%whereupon the latter was promptly
arrested.
"What have 1 done?' he asked.
you'll learn directly at 'eadquar-
ters," said The officer.
Solomon shook hands with Jack and
said: "Im glad 1 met ye,' and turned
and walked away with the two men.
Jack was tempted to follow them,
but feeling a hidden purpose in Solo
mons conduct went into the inn.
So the friends parted, Jack being
puzzled and distressed by the swift
change in the color of their affairs.
The letter to Doctor Franklin was in
his pocket-a lucky circumstance. He
decided to go to London and deliver
the letter and seek advice regarding
the relief of Solomon. At the desk
in the lobby Of the Three Kings he
learned that he must take the post
chaise for Canterbury, which would
not be leaving until 6 p. m. This gave
him time to take counsel in behalf
Of his friend. Turning toward the
door, he met Captain Preston, who
greeted him with great warmth and
wished to know where was Major
Binkus.
Jack told the captain Of the arrest
of his friend.
81 expected it, said Preston. $50

CHAPTER ~
The Crossing.

There were curious events in the
voyage of Jack and Solomon. They
sailed on or about the eleventh of Oc-
tober, 1779. Their ship was the Snow
which had arrived the week before
with some fifty Irish servants, inden-
tured for their passage. The food was
of poor quality, the cooking a tax upon
jaw, palate and digestion, the service
unclean. When good weather came,
by and by, and those who had not
tasted food for days began to feel the
pangs Of hunger the ship was filled
with a most passionate lot of pilgrims.
1t was then that Solomon presented
the petition Of the passengers to the
captain.
"Cap'n, we're bout wore out with
whale meat an slobgollion. We're all
down by the head"
"So'm l." said the captain. "This
ere man had a good recommend an
said he could cook perfect"
"a man like that kin cook the nas-

Solomon. Il feel like my belly was

galley, I'll right We up an shift the
way O. the wind an the course o the
ship. I'll swing the bow toward

this ere ship. Can't nobody be a
Christian with his CUTS a-bilin'. His
tonguerl break loose an make his soul
look like a Vaughn with a smashed
wheel an a busted ex. A cook could
do more good here than a minister"
Can you cook?"
"You try me an I'll agree to happy
We up so We won't know yerself. Yer
meat won't be raw ner petrifed an
there won't be no insecks in the bis
cult"
So Solomon was installed as cook
and happiness returned to the ship.
In the course of the voyage they
overhauled the Star, a four-masted
ship bound from New York to Dover.
For hours the two vessels were so
close that the passengers engaged In a
kind of battle. Those on the Star be-
gan it by hurting turnips at the men
on the other ship who responded with
a volley of apples. Solomon discerned
on the deck of the stranger Captain
Preston and al English officer of the
name Of Hawk whom he had known
at Oswego and hailed them. Then
said Solomon:
IT'S a shipload O. Tories whO've had
enough of Ameriky. They's a cuss on
that tub that L helped put a coat O.
tar an feathers on in the Ohio kentry.
He's the one with the black pipe in
mis- mouth. 7 don't know his name but
they use to call him Slops-the dirti-
est, 1o~w-downdest, d-n Tory traitor
that ever lived. Helped the Injuns out
thar in the West. See that ere black
piper Allus carries it in his mouth
'cept when he's eatin'. I guess he goes
to sleep with it. It's one O. the fea-
lures O. his face. We tarred him plenty
now you hear to me-"
That evening a boat was lowered
and the captain of the Snow crossed
a hundred yards of quiet sea to dine
with the captain of the Star in the
cabin of the latter. Next day a stiff
wind came out of the west. All sail
was spread, the ships began to jump
and gore the waves and the Star ran
away from the smaller ship and was
out of sight. Weeks of rough
going followed. Meanwhile Solomon
stuck to his task. Every n was sick
but Jack and the officers, and there
was not much cooking to be done.
Because he had to take off his coat
he was working in the galley,

scout who is known to be anti British.
Such a man coming here is supposed
to be carrying papers. Between our
selves, they would arrest him on any
pretext. You leave this matter in my
hands. If he had no papers he'll be
coming on in a day or two"
I'D like to go with you to find

a smile.

from him. Sit quietly here in the inn
until the post chaise starts for Can

rel with you, and remember this Is all
a sacred confidence between friends"
81 thank you and my heart is in
every word" said Jack as he pressed
the hand of the captain. after all,
friendship is q thing above politics
even the politics of these bitter days"
He sat down with a sense of relief
and spent the rest Of the afternoon
reading the London papers, although
he longed to go and look at the fort
ress of Deal Castle. He had tea AT
five and set out on the mail carriage,
with his box and bag, an hour later.
The road was rough and muddy, with
deep holes in it. At one point the
chaise ratified and bumped over a
plowed field. Before dark he saw a
man hanging in a gibbet by the road
side. At ten o'clock they passed the
huge gate of Canterbury and drew up
at an inn called the Kings Head. The
landlady and two walters attended for
orders. He had some supper and went
to bed. Awakened at 5 a. m. by the
sound of a bugle, he arose and dressed
hurriedly and found the post chaise
waiting. They went on the Kings
road from Canterbury and a mile out
they came to a big, white gate in the
dim light of the early morning.
A young man clapped his mouth to
the window and shouted:
"SiXpence, yer honor"
It was a real turnpike and Jack
stuck his head out of the window for
a look at it. They stopped for break
fast at an inn far down the pike and
went on through Sittingbourn, Faver-
sham, Rochester and the lovely valley
of the River Midway, of which Jack
had read.
At every stop it amused him to hear
the words "chaise an pair" flying
host to waiter and waiter to
hostler and back in the wink of an eye.
Jack spent the night at the Rose in
hartford and went on mex morning
over Gadshill and Shootershill and
Blackheath. Then the Thames and
Greenwich and D%eptford, from which
he could see the crowds and domes
and towers of the big city. A little
past two o'clock he rode over London
bridge and was set down at the Spread
where he paid a shilling a mile
for his passage and ate his dinner.
Such, in those days, was the cross
ing and the trip up to London, as Jack
describes it in his letters.

ings and land us in an hour at 10
Bloomsbury square, East" he said.
With a sense of relief they were
whisked away in the stream of traffic.
They passed the kings palace and
the great town houses of the duke of
Bedford and Lord Balcarras, each of
which was pointed out by the driver.
Suddenly every vehicle near them
stopped, while their male occupants
sat with barred heads. Jack observed
a curious procession on the sidewalk
passing between two lines of halted
people.
Hits their majesties !" the driver
whispered under his breath.
The king-a stout, red-nosed, blue
jowled man, with big, gray, staring
eyes-was in a sedan chair surmount-
ed by a crown. He was dressed in
light cloth with silver buttons. Queen
Charlotte, also in a chair, was dressed
in lemon colored silk ornamented with
brooodod Hourarc Tho +uro ,yoro e,o;1
ing and bowling as they passed. In a
moment the procession entered a
great gate. Then there was a crack
Of whips and the traffic resumed it's
hurried pace.
When they had been conducted to
the presence of Doctor Franklin he
took Solomon's hand and said:
"Mr. Binkus, 1 am glad to bid you
welcome"
= he looked down at the sinewy, big
boned, right hand of the scout, still
holding 1t.
"Will you step over to the window
a moment and give me a look at your
hands?' he asked.
They went to the window and the
Doctor put on his spectacles and ex-
amined them closely.
