A liiiie farther on Is the cabin of Brother Cawklns. He has f-s been terribly pecked up by a stiffnecked, rebeUious wife. We'll stop there for a cup of tea and If she raises a rumpus you'll see me take her by the horns." Mrs. Cawklns was a lean, sallow, stern-faced woman of some forty years with a face like bitter herbs; her husband a mndmannere"!, shiftless man who, encouraged by Mr. Cartwright, had taken to riding through the upper counties as a preacher--a course of conduct of which his wife heartily disapproved. Solicited by her hasbend she sullenly mad* tea for the . <£% a travelers. When it had r»een drunk the two preachers knelt In a corner of the room and Mr. Cartwrlght began to pray in a loud voice. Mrs. Cawklns shoved the table about and tipped over the chairs and dropped the rolling- pin as a counter demonstration. The famous circuit rider being in no way put out by this, she dashed a dipper of cold water on the head of her husband. The praying stopped. Mr. Cartwrlght' rose from his knees and commanded her to desist. On her declaration that she would not he laid hold of the woman and forced her out of the door and closed and bolted It and resumed his praying. Having recorded this remarkable Incident in his diary, Samson writes: "Many of these ignorant people In the lonely, prairie cabins are like children, Cartwrlght leads them on like 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 and 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 be held, and that the people had been rapidly "dyin* off." Samson knew from this that the smallpox--a dreaded and terrible scourge of pioneer days--had crane again. -j "It's dangerous to go there," said Cawklns. Where is sorrow there Is my proper place," Cartwrlght answered. Those people need comfort and the help of God." I got a letter from a lady there," Cawkins went on. "As nigh as I can make out they, need a minister. I can read print handy but wrltin' bothers" me. You read it, brother. Mr. Cartwrlght took the letter and1 read as follows: "Dear Sir: Mr. Barman gave me your name. We need a minister to comfort the sick and help bury the dead. It Is a good deal to ask of you but If you feel like taking the chance of coming here I am sure you could do a lot of good. We have doctors enough and It seems a pity that the church should fall these people when they need 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 andtip to Qow.iio harm has come to me. "Yours respectfully, 7^5 " "BIM KELSO." "'A man's heart devlseth his way but the Lord directeth his steps,' " said Cartwrlght. "For three days I have,, felt that He was leading me." "I begin to think that He has been leading me," Samson declared. "Blm Kelso Is the person I seek." "I would have gone but my wife took on so I couldn't get away," said Cawkins. . "I'll come back some day soon and you and I will pry the devil out of her with the crowbar of God's truth and mercy," Cartwright assured him as he and Samson took the road to the north. On their way to the Honey creek -Moment the lion-hearted minister told of swimming through flooded rivers, getting lost on the plains and suffering for food and water, of lying down to rest at night In wet clothes with no shelter but the woods, ot handto- hand fights with rowdies whe endeavored to sell drink or create a disturbance at his meetings. Such was the zeal for righteousness woven by many hands into the fabric of the Wesfr A little before sundown they reached the settlement, • Samson asked a man Jn the road if he knew where they could find the uurse Blm Kelso. "Do ye mean that angel o' God In a white dress that takes keer o' the sick?" the man asked. __ "I guess that would be Blm," said Samson. "She's over In yon' house," the other answered, pointing with his pipe to a cabin some twenty rods beyond them. "Thar's two children sick thar an' the mammy dead an' borled in the ground." "Is the plague getting worse?" Cartwrlght asked. "No, I reckon It's better. Nobody has come down since the day before yestlddy. Thar's the doctor comin He kin tell ye." A bearded man of middle age was approaching them in the saddle. "I am Peter Cartwright--the preacher sent of God to comfort the sick and bury the dead," said Samson's companion. "We welcome you, but if you stop here you will have to stay until the epidemic is ovef." "That I am prepared to do." "Then -I shall take you where you can find entertainment, such as It Is." "First, this man wishes fo speak to Miss Kelso, the nurse," said Cartwrlght. "He Is a friend of hers." "You can see her but only at a distance," the doctor answered. "I must keep you at least twenty feet away from her. Come with me." They proceeded to the stricken house. The doctor entered and presently Blm came out. Her eyes filled with tears and for a moment she could not speak. • Why didn't you let me knew of your troubles?" Samson asked. "Early last summer I wrote a long letter to you," she answered. * "It didn't reach me. One day In June the stage was robbed of Its mall down In Tazewell county. Your letter was probably on that stage/ from my I didn't enme out here to Set away troubles--perhaps to die. care." "Harry is not dead," said Samson. Her right hand touched her forehead; her lip& fell apart; her eyes took oil a look of tragic earnestness. "Not dead!" she whispered. "He Is alive and well." Blm staggered toward him and 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 but she was almost as silent as the shadow of the coming night. She looked like one searching in the dnst for something very precious. The 14H-U I hitcned and fed his horse of it--the beast having d at the creek they had lately forded-- and lay down to rest for the night, with the saddle blanket beneath and his coat for a cover.

Samson's feet and legs had wet In the crossing, so that he fouaA It difficult to keep warm. He ciept to the side of his horse, which iMui laid down, and found a degree of com* fort in the heat of the animal. But it was a bad night, at best. , "I've had many a long, hard night, but this is the worst of them," Samson thought. There's mafiy a bad night In the history of the pioneers. Us shadows falling on lonely, ill-marked roads, cut by rivers, creeks and marshes and strung through unnumbered miles of wild country. Samson was up and off at -daylight in a bitter wind and six inches of snow. It was a kind of work he would not have undertaken upon any call less commanding than that of friendship. He reached Chicago at noon, having had nothing to eat that day. There was no such eager, noisy crowd In the streets as he had seen before. The fever of speculation had passed. But there wore many people on the main thoroughfares, among whom were Europeans who had arrived the autumn before. They were changing but the marks of the yoke were still upon them. In Chicago were the vitals of the West and they were very much alive in spite of the panic. Samson bought some new clothes and had a bath and a good dinner at the City hotel. Then he went to the office of Mr. Lionel Davis. There to his surprise he met his old acquaintance, Ell Fredenberg, who greeted him with great warmth and told of having settled in Chicago. A well-dressed young man came out of an inner office. "I'd like to see Mr. Davis," said Samson. "Tell him that I've got some money that belongs to him and that I'm ready to deliver It."

"I was tired from my day's work as a stenographer in a loop office and wanted to "rest after ^dinner," Mrs. Marsh continued. "My husband wanted to go to the movies. I finally went to bed. A few minutes later 1 felt something moving under the 'bed Shaking and With 8obs. "Harry's death was the last Mow. 1 strong heart of Samson was touched by the sorrowful look of her so that he could not speak. Soon he was able to say In a low, trembling voice: "In every letter be tells of his 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 straightened and was presently erect. Her soul resented the Injustice she had suffered. There was a wonderful and touching dignity in her voice,, ant} manner when she asked: "Why didn't he write to me?" "He must have written to you." Sadly, calmly, thoughtfully, she spoke as she stood looking off at the fading glow in the west: It is terrible how things can work together to break the heart and will of a woman. Write to Harry and tell him that he must not come to see me again. I have promised to marry another man." "I hope It isn't Davis," said Samson. "It is Davis." - "I don't like him. I don't think he's honest." "But he has been_ wonderfully kind to us. Without his help we couldn't have lived. 'We couldn't even have given my father a decent burial." 'Has he been out here to see you?" 'No." 'And he won't come. That man knows how to keep out of danger. don't believe you'll marry him." "Why?" ' "Because I intend to be a father to you and pay all your debts," said Samson. The doctor called .from the door of the cabin. Blm said: "God bless you and Harry!" as she turned away to take up her task again. That night both of them began, as they say, to put two and two together. While he rode on in the growing dusk the keen intellect of Samson suw convincing sequence of circumstances --the theft of the mall sack, the false account of Harry's death, the failure of his letters to reach their destination, and the fact that Bim had accepted money from Davis in time of need. A strong gpsplcion of foul plsy grew upon him and he began to con sider what he could do In the matter. Having forded a creek" he caught the glow of a light in the darkness, m title way up the road. It was the lighted window of a cabin, before whose door he stopped his horse and hallooed: "I am a belated and hungry "traveler On my way to Chicago," he said to the man who presently greeted him from the open doorway. "Have you come through Honey Creek settlement?" the latter asked "Left there about an hour ago." "Sorry, mfeter, but I can't let you come Into the house. If you'll move off a few feet I'll lay some grub on the choppln' block an' up the road about a half-mile you'll find a barn with -some hay In It, where you and your horse can spend the night under cover." Samson moved away and soon- the man brought a package o£ food and laid It on the block and ran back to the door., "I'll lay a piece of silver on the block," Samson called. "Not a darned cent," the man answered. "I hate like p'lson to turn a feller away in the night, but we're awful skeered here with children in the honse. Good-by. You can't miss the barn. It's close ag'ln' the road." Samson ate his luncheon In the darkness, as be rode, and presently came upon the barn and unsaddled and Traveler in Mongolia Made Welcome In Any Tent, Conforming to 81mpie Rules of Etiquette.
