Savage L. McCoy. A MAN FOR THE AGES A Story of the Builders of Democracy. By Irving Bacheller furm where these poor people who are seeking the freedom which God wills for all His children, may find rest and refreshment and security until they have strength to go on." Within a week after the visit of Mr. Lovejoy, Samson and Harry built a hollow haystack about half from the house to the barn.

The stack had a comfortable room inside of it about eight feet by seven and some six feet in height. Its entrance was an opening near the bottom the stack well screened by the pendant hay. But no fugitive came to occupy it that winter. Soon after the new year of 1835 Samson and Harry moved the Kelsos to Tazewell county. Mr.

Kelso had received an appointment as land agent and was to be stationed at the little settlement of Hopedale near the hoine of John Peasley. Late in the afternoon Harry and Samson left the Kelsos and their effects at a small frame house in the little village of Hopedale. The men had no sooner begun to unload than its inhabitants came to welcome the newcomers and help them in the work of getting settled. When the goods were deposited in the dooryard Sumson and Harry drove to John Peasley's farm, Mr. Peasley recognized the big, broad-shouldered Vermonter at the first look.

"Do I remember you?" he said. "Well, I guess I do. So does my barn Let me take hold of that right hand of yours again. Yes, sir. It's the same old iron hand.

Marry Ann he called as his wife came out of the door. "Here's the big man from Vergennes who tossed the purty slaver." "I see it is," she answered. "Ain't ye comin' in?" "It you try to pass this place I'll have ye took up," said Peasley. "There's plenty of food in the house an' stable." "Look here--that's downright selfish," said his wife. "If we tried to keep you here Henry Brimstead would never forgive us.

He talks about you morning, noon and night. Any one would think that you was the Samson that slew the Philistines." "How is Henry?" Samson asked. "He married my sister and they're about as happy as they can be this side the river Jordan," she went on. "They've got one o' the best farms in Tazewell county and they're goin' to be rich." "Yes. sir; I didn't think o' that," said Peasley.

"Henry and his wife would holler if we didn't take ye over there. It's only a quarter of a mile. I'll show ye the way and we'll all come over this evening and have a talkin' bee." Samson was astonished by the look of Brimstead and his home and his family and the account of his success. The man from the sand -flats was cleanly shaved, save for a black mustache, and neatly dressed and his face glowed with health and high spirits. A handsome brown-eyed miss of seventeen came galloping up the road on her pony and stopped near them.

"Antabel, do you remember this man?" Brimstead asked. The girl looked int Samson. "He is the man who helped us out of Flea valley," said the girl. "Would you mind if I kissed! you?" "I would be sorry if you didn't," said Samson. "Here's my boy, Harry Needles.

You wouldn't dare kiss him, I guess." "I would be sorry, too, if you didn't," Harry laughed as he took her hand. "I'm -afraid you'll have to stay sorry," said Annabel turning red with embarrassment. "I never saw you before." "Better late than never," Samson assured her. "You don't often see better fellow." The girl laughed with a subtle look of agreement in her eyes. Then came up from the barn the ragged little lad of No Santa Claus Land--now a sturdy, bright-eyed, handsome boy of twelve.

The horses were put out and all went in to supper. After supper Brimstead showed models of a mowing machine with a cut bar six feet long, and a plow which would turn two furrows. "That's what we need on these prairies," said Samson. "Something that'll turn 'em over and cut the crop quicker." "Say, I'll tell ye," said Brimstead as if about to disclose a secret. "These great stretches of smooth, rich -land just everlastingly ram the spurs into you and keep your brain galloping.

Mine is goin' night and day. The prairies are a new thing and you've got to tackle 'em in a new way. tell you the seeding and planting and mowing and reaping and threshing is all going to be done by machinery and horses. The wheel will be the fouldation of the new era." "You're right," said Samson. "How are you gettin' along?" "Rather slow," Samson answered.

"It's hard to get our stuff to market down in the Sangamon country. Our river isn't navigable yet. We hope that Abe Lincoln, who has just been elected to the legislature, will be able to get it' widened and straightened and cleaned up so it will be of some use to us down there." "I've heard of him. They call him Honest Abe, don't they?" "Yes; and he is honest if a man ever was." "Is he going to marry the Rutledge girl?" was the query of Mrs. Brimstead.

"I don't think so," Samson answered, a little surprised at her knowledge of the attachment. "He's as humly as Sam Hill and dresses rough and ain't real handy with the gals. Some fellers are kind fenced in with hum- liness and awkwardness." "The boys around here are all fenced in." said Annabel. "There's nobody here of age but Lanky Peters, who looks like a fish, and a redheaded frish boy with a wooden leg." The Peasleys arrived and the men and women spent a delightful hour traveling without weariness over the long trail to beloved scenes and the days of their youth. Every day's end thousands were going east on that trail, ench to find his pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow of memory.

Before they went to bed that night Brimstead paid his debt to Samson, with interest, and very confidentially. It was a long, wearisome ride back to the land of plenty, over frozen ground, with barely an inch of snow upon it, under a dark sky, with a chil. ly wind blowing. "After all. it's home," said Samson, when late in the evening they saw the lighted windows of the cabin ahead.

"After All, It's Home," Said Samson. they had put out their horses and come in by the glowing fire, Samson lifted Sarah in his arms again and kissed her. "I'm kind o' silly, mother, but can't help it--you look so temptin'," CHAPTER XIV.

Abe came back from the legislature to resume his duties as: postmaster. "The evening of his arrival he went to see Ann. The girl was in poor health. She had had no news of McNamar since January. Her spirit seemed to be broken.

They walked together up and down the deserted street of the little village that evening. Abe told her of his life in Vandalia and of his hopes and plans. "My greatest hope is that you will feel that you can put up with me," he said. "I would try to learn how to make you happy. I think if you would help me a little I could do it." "If you want me to, I will marry you, Abe," said she.

"I cannot say that I love you, but my mother and father say that I would learn to love you, and sometimes I think it is true. I really want to love you."
