CHAPTER XX—Continued.

They had n happy half-hour nt the
table, Mrs. Brinistend being In better
spirits since her husband had got hack
to his farming. Annabel, her form
tilling with the grace and charm of
womanhood, was there and more
comely than ever.
They had been speaking of .loci
Kelso’s death.
“I heard him say once that when
he saw a beautiful young face It re-
minded him of noble singing and the
odor of growing corn.” said Samson.
“I’d rather see the face,” Joe re-
marked, whereupon they nil laughed
nnd the boy blushed to the roots of
his blond hair.
“IIe’R become n man of good Judg-
ment," said Brlmstend.
Annabel's sister Jane, who hud
clung to the wagon in No Santa (’Ians
Land, was a bright-eyed, merry-
hearted girl of twelve. The boy Rob-
ert was a shy. good-looking lad a little
older than Josiah.
| “Well, what’s the news?” Samson
asked.
“Nothin’ has happened since we
saw you hut the fall of El Dorado,”
Brimstead answered.
“There was the robbery of the mall
stage Inst summer a few miles north
of here,” said Mrs. Brimstead. “Every
smitch of the mall was stolen. I
guess that's the reason we haven’t had
no letter from Vermont In a year."
“Maybe that's why we haven’t
heard from home." Samson echoed.
"Why don’t you leave Joe here
while you’re gone to Chicago?" Anna-
bel asked.
"It would help Ills education to
rnssle around with Robert un' the
girls,” said Brimstead.
"Would you like to stay?” Samson
asked.
“I wouldn’t mind," said Joslnh who,
on the lonely prairie, had hud few
companions of his own age.
I So It happened tlint Samson went
: on alone. Near the sycamore woods
j he came upon a gray-haired man lying
! by the roadside with a horse tethered
near him. The stranger was sick with
a fever. Samson got down from Ids
’ horse.
! "What can I do for you?” he asked
I “The will of God,” the stranger
1 feebly answered. "I prayed for help
and you have come. I am Peter Cart-
; wrigid, the preacher. I was so sick
; and weak I had to got off my horse
i and He down. If you had not come 1
i think that I should have died here.”
Samson gave him some of the niedl-
1 cine for chills and fever which he al-
| ways curried in Ids pocket, and water
i from Ids canteen.
; "Is there any house where l could
find help nnd shelter for you?" he
asked presently.
"No, but I feel better-glory to
God!" said the preacher. "If yen can
help me to the back of my horse 1 will
try to ride on with you. There is to
be a quarterly meeting, ten miles up
the Mild tonight. Nothing shall keep
me from iny duty. 1 may save a dozen
i souls from hell—who tatowsY’
Samson was astonished at the iron
will nnd holy zeal of this Iron-hearted,
strong-armed, lighting preacher of the
i prairies of whom lie had heard much.
He lifted him and set him on the tvarik
j of his horse.
“God blessed you wiih 'Tent
strength,” said the latter. “Are you a
Christ inn?”
“I am.”
T1h‘v rode on in -silence. I*ires ir.fly
Hamson observed tlrat the preacher
was actually asleep and snoring hi

hour or more in ibis manner. When
the horses were wallowing through u
swnlp the preacher awoke.
“Glory be to God!" he shouted. “I
am better. 1 shall he able to preach
tonight. A little farther on Is the
cabin of Brother Dawkins. He has
been terribly pecked up by a stiff-
necked, rebellious wife. We’ll slop
there for n cup of tea nnd If she raises
a rumpus you'll see me take her by
the horns.”
Mrs. Cawklns was a lean, sallow,
stem-faced woman of some forty
years with n face like hitter herbs;
her husband a mlldinunnered, shiftless
man who. encouraged by Mr. Cart-
wright, had taken to riding through
the upper counties as a preacher—a
course of conduct of which his wife
heartily disapproved. Solicited by her
she sulleuly made tea for the
travelers. When it nan neen drunk
the two preachers knelt In a corner
of the room and Mr. Cartwright begun
to pray in a loud voice. Mrs. Caw-
kins shoved the table about and tipped
over the chairs nnd dropped the rtUI-
Ing-pln as a counter demonstration
The famous circuit rider being In no
way put out by this, she dashed a dip-
per of cold water on the head of her
husband. The praying stopped. Mr.
Cartwright rose from his knees and
commanded her to desist. On her
declaration that she would not he laid
hold of the woman nnd forced her out
of the door and closed and bolted it
and resumed his praying.
Having recorded this remarkable In-
cident In his diary. Samson writes;
"Many of these Ignorant people In
the lonely, prairie cabins are like chil-
dren. Cartwright leads them on like
a father and sometimes with the
strong hand. If any of them deserve
a spanking they get It. He and Others
like him have helped to keep the cabin
people clean and going up hill Instead
of down. They have established
schools and missions and scattered
good books and comforted sorrows
nnd kindled good desire In the hearts
of the humble."
As they were leaving, Mr. Cawklns
told them that the plague had broken
out in the settlement on Honey creek,
where the quarterly meeting was to
he held, nnd that the people had been
rapidly “dyln’ * off." Samson knew
from this that the smallpox—a
dreaded and terrible scourge of pio-
neer days—had come again.
It’s dangerous to go there," said
Cawklns.
"Where Is sorrow there Is my
proper place,” Cartwright answered.
"Those people need comfort and the
help of God.”
“I got a letter from a lady there."
Cawklns went on. "As nigh as I can
make out they need a minister. 1 cun
rend print handy but writ in* bothers
me. You read it, brother.”
Mr. Cartwright took the letter and
read as follows:
"Dear Sir: Mr. Bnrmnn gave me
your name. We need a minister to
comfort the sick nnd help bury the
dead. It Is a good deal to ask of you
hut if you feel like taking the chance
of coming here I am sure you could do
n lot of good. We have doctors enough
and It seems a pity that the church
should fail these people when they
feed It most. If you have the courage
to come you would win the gratitude
of many people. For a month I have
been taking care of the sick nnd up to
now no harm has come to mo.
“Yours respectfully,
“RIM KELSO.”
“ *A man’s heart doviseth his way
but the I xmldirectoth his steps,* ” said
Cartwright. "For three days 1 have
felt that Ho was leading me.”
"I begin to think that He has been
leading me," Samson declared. “Blm
K-elso is the pel’s(hi J seek.”
‘I would have gone tret my wife

Cawklns.

j reached the settlement.

“I>«» ye mean that wngel o’ God Inn

“1 guess thatt would be Blm," -said
Samson.

"That 1 am prepared to do."
"Then I shall take you where you

"First, this man wishes to speak to

wright. "He is a friend of hers."
“You cun see her but only at a dis-
tance,'’ the doctor answered. ‘I must

from her. Come with me.” Sams*
They proceeded to the stricken | man hr
house. The doctor entered nnd pres-
ently Blm came out. Her eyes filled
with tears and for u moment she could
not speak.
‘‘Why didn’t you let me know of
your troubles?" Samst n asked.
“Early last summer I wrote a long
letter to you," she answered.
"It didn’t reach tne. One day In
June the stage was robbed of Its mall
down In Tazewell county. Your letter
was probably on that stage."

"Harry Is not dead." said Samson.
Her right hand touched her "ore-
head ; her lips f»>ll apart; her eyes
took on ii look of tragic earnestness.
“Not dead!" she whispered.
"He Is alive and well."
Blm staggered toward him nnd fell
to her knees and lay crouched upon
the ground, In the dusky twilight,
shaking and choked with sobs, and
with tears streaming from her eyes

strong heart of Samson was touched
by the sorrowful .look of her so that
lie could not speak.
Soon he was able to say In a low,
trembling voice:
"In every letter lie tells of Ids love
for you. That article in the paper
was a cruel mistake.’’
After a little silence Blm rose from
the ground. She stood, for a moment,
wiping her eyes. Her form straight-
ened and w?i8 presently erect. Her
soul resented the Injustice she had
suffered. There was a wonderful and
touching dignity In her voice and
manner when she asked: **\\ by didn’t

"He must have written to you.”
Sadly, calmly, thoughtfully, she

"I'll lay a piece of silver on tin*

"Net a durned cent." the man an-
swered. "I hate like p’ison to turn a
feller away In the night, imt we’re
awful skeered here with children In

Samson ate his luncheon In the dark
n»>ss, as he rode, and presently carne
upon the hair uud unsaddled aim
1 hitched and fed tils horse In one end
of It—the beast having drunk his fill
at the creek they had lately forded—
j and’ lay down to rest for the night,
with the saddle blanket beneath him
and his coat for n cover. A wind
from the north began to wall ami
whistle through the cracks in the barn
ami over lts roof, bringing cold weath-
er. Samson’s feet and legs had been
wet In the crossing, so that lie toutld
it difficult to keep warm. He crept
to the sitle of his horse, which had
laid down, und found a degree of com-
j fort In the heat of the animal. But
1 it was a had night, at best,
j "I've had many a long, hard night,
but this is the worst of them," Sam-
son thought.
There’s many a had night In the
history of the pioneers, Its shadows
falling on Jonely, Ill-marked roads,
cut by rivers, creeks and marshes and
strung through unnumbered miles oi
wild country. Samson was up and
off ut daylight in a bitter wind anil
six Inches of snow. It was a kind of
work he would not have undertaken
upon any cull less commanding than
that of friendship. ✓
He reached Chicago at norin, having
had nothing to eat that day. There
was no such eager, noisy crowd In the
streets us he had seen before. The
fever of speculation had passed. But
there were many people on the main
thoroughfares, among whom were
Europeans who had arrived the
j autumn before. They were changing
I but the marks of the yoke were still
' upon them. In Chicago were the
vitals of the West and they were :ery
much alive in spite of the panic.
Samson bought some new clothes
and had a hath and a good dinner ut
| the City hotel. Then he went to the
office of Mr. Lionel Davis. There to
his surprise he met his old acquaint-
ance, Ell Fredenberg, who greeted
him with great warmth und told of
having settled In Chicago.
A well-dressed young man came out
of nn Inner office.
"I’d like to see Mr. Davis,” said I
Samson. "Tell him that I’ve got some
money that belongs to him and that j
I'm reaily to deliver It”

Traveler in Mongolia Made Welcome
In Any Tent, Conforming to Sim-
ple Rules of Etiquette.
Travelers on the steppes of Mon- j
jjolin are welcome to stay In any tent
in any village they encounter. Every |
Mongolian «s hospitality Itself, provld- j
ing the traveler has Judgnn *.t enough ,
to conform to the simple rules of
etiquette. Of course, he will have to ,
tip down beside the lambs and calves
of the household, Just as do the mem-
hers of the family.
From whatever side of a tent thi j
traveler approaches he must he sure
to ride up to It from the front. When
he Is within n short distance he must j
stop and shout “nohol," "/hieh means ,
dog. This Is a safety measure. I>e-
rnuse the dogs are wolf-llke and fierce, j
The people hurry out to call off the |
dogs, and if he Is on foot he keeps ■
them back, us best he can, with a
stick.
Once n traveler enters n tent he
says "mendu," or greeting. As dogs
do not attack inside n tent It Is an
Insult to carry a stick Inside. He sits
at the left side of t f e-place, with '
his feet curled up under him. If he j
can’t do this he sits with Ids feet
stretched toward the door. Then he |
exchanges snuff boxes with the fain- j
lly. When he leaves, tiext morning, he j
hows and smiles, ns the Mongols have 1
no cush m equivalent to hand-shaking
and good-bv.
