Amazed and a little shocked by bis 'Own conduct, he sat thinking. I After all be had heard and seen, the threat of the young upstart had provoked bim beyond his power of endurance. The sensitive mind of the New Eng lander had been hurt by the story of the fugitives. Upon this hurt the (young man had poured the turpentine of haughty, Imperial manners. The more he thought of It the less inclined he was to reproach himself for bis violence. Slavery was a relk'of ancient imperialism. It bad no ri&ht In fnee America. There could be no peace with it save for a little time. !Tt»e Mlssourians would tell their jfklends of the lawless and violent men af tbe North, who cared not a fig for ftbe property rights of a Southerner. IThe stories would travel like fire in grass. 1 ' So, swiftly, tbe thoughts of men (were being prepared for tbe great bat- IBe lines of the future. Samson saw <|he peril of It. As they rode along young Mr. Biggs ttsmplained of pain and Samson made sling of his muffler and put it over neck and arm of the injured Biggs and drove with care to avoid jolting. iFor the first time Sunson took a careful and sympathetlclook at bim. He was a handsome youth, about six feet tall, with dark eyes and hair and a aaiall black mustache and teeth very •Wblte and even. In New SaJem Samson took him to Doctor Allen's office and helped thedoctor In setting tbe broken borie.

HIS boy was going after tbe critter with a dub. " "Look here, boy.' he said, "when \ftou've got a skunk in the house, it's a 'fp>od time to be careful. You might apyle the skunk with that club, but "<fbe skunk would be right certain to _Hpyle the bouse. While he's our guest, | reckon we'll have to be polite, ? farther we want to or not.'" . That evening Samson set down the F "«vents of the day In his book and •( «jnoted the dialogue in Offut's store in ; Vhich he had had a part. On tbe first i-rmt February, 1840, be put these words • ittn«1«»r the entry; "I wouldn't wonder If this was tbe 'first trip oa tbe Underground ratiit--- - MIn a musty old ledger kept by James Rutfedge, the owner of Rutledge's tavern," In the year 1832, is an entry under the date of January 31st which reads as follows: "Arrived this day Ellphalet Biggs of 26 Olive street. St. Louts, with one horse." Young Mr. Biggs remained at Rot* ledge's tavern for three wefeks with his arm In a sling under the eye of the good doctor. The Rutledges were Kentucky folk and there the young man had found a sympathetic "hearing and tender care. It hnd done him good to be hurled against a barn door and to fall trembling and confused nt the feet of his master. He had never met his master until he had reached Hopedale that morning. The event had been too long delayed. Encouraged by Idleness and conceit and alcohol," etll passions had grown rank In the soil of his spirit. Restraint had been a thing unknown to him. He had ruled the little world In which he had lived by a sense of divine right. He was a prince of Egoland-- that province of America which had only half yielded Itself to the principles of Democracy. It must be said that he served bis term as a sober bumjm being quite gracefully, being a well born youth of some education. A few days he spent mostly In bed. while his friend, who had come on from-Hopedale, took care of him. Soon he hegnn to walk about and his friend returned to St. Louis. His fine manners and handsome form and face captured the little village, most of whose Inhabitants had come from Kentucky. A week after his arrival Ann Rutledge walked over to Jack Kelso's with him. Bin) fled up the stick ladder as sooA as they entered the door. Mr. Kelso was away on a fox hunt. Ann went to the ladder and called: "Bim, I saw yon fly up that ladder. Come back down. Here's a right nice young man come to see you." "Is be good-looking?" Bim called. "Oh. purty as a picture, black eyes and hair and teeth like pearls, and tall and straight, and he's got a be-e-autlful little mustache." "That*s enough!" Bim exclaimed. "I just wish there was a knot bole In this floor." "Come on down here," Ann urged. "I'm scared," was the answer. "His cheeks are as red as roses and he's got a lovely ring and big watch chain--pure gold and yaller as a dandelion. You come down here." "Stop," Bim answered. Til be down as sopn as I can get on my best bib and tucker." In a few minutes Bim called from the top of the ladder to Ann. The latter went and looked up at hen Both girls burst Into peals of merty* laughter. Bim had put on a suit of her father'^ old clothes and her buffalo skin whiskers and was a wild sight. "Don't you come down looking like that," said Ann. Til go op there and 'tend to you." Ann climbed the ladder and for a time there was much laughing and chattering in the little loft By and by Ann came down. Bim hesitated, laughing, above the ladder for a moment, and presently followed In her best blue dress, against which the golden curls of her hair fell gracefully. With red cheeks and bright eyes, she was a glowing picture. Very timidly she gave her hand to Mr. Biggs. "It's just tbe right dress," he said. "It goes so well with 'your hair. I'm glad to see you. I have never seen a girl like you In my life. I'm going to come and see you often, if your mother will let me." A blush spread over tbe gill's cheeks to the pretty dimple at the point of her chin. "You'll see her scampering up the ladder like a squirrel," sal^l Mrs. Kelso. "She Isn't real tame yet." Perhaps we could hide tbe ladder," be suggested, with a smile. "Do you play oa tbe flute?" asked. , • , No," said Mr. Biggs. I was afraid," Bim exclaimed. "My Uncle Henry does." She looked Into Mr. Biggs' eyes. Mr. Biggs laughed. "That smile of yours Is very becoming." he said. At this point Mr. Kelso returned with his gun on his shoulder and was introduced to Mr. Biggs. "I welcome you to the hazards of my fireside." said Kelso. "So you're from St. Louis and stopped for repairs in this land of the ladder climbers. Sit down and I'll put a log on the fire." "Thank you, I must go," said Biggs. "Can I not stay you with flagons?" Kelso asked. "The doctor has forbidden mat all drink but milk and water." "A wise man is Doctor Allen!" Kel so exclaimed. "Cervantes was right In saying that too much wine will neither keep a secret nor fulfill promise." M\vul you make me a promise?" Bim asked of Mr. Biggs, as be was leaving the door with Ann. Anything you will ask," be an swered. "Please don't ever look at the new moon through a knot bole," she said in a haif whisper. The young man laughed. "Why not?" "if yon do, you'll never f at married." "Don't be alarmed by my daughter's fancies," Kelso advised. "They are often rather astonishing."' . •*** pretty daughter of Jack Kelso. On his way back to the tavern he told Ann that he had fallen In love with the sweetest and prettiest girt In all the -world--Bim Kelso. \That very evening Ann went over to Kelso's cabin to take the news to Bim and her mother and to tell them that her .father reckoned he belonged to a very rich and a very grand family. Mr. Kelso had gone to Offut's store and the three had the cabin to themselves. "I think he's just a wonderful man!" Bim exclaimed. "Bat I'm sorry his name Is so much like figs and pigs. I'm plum sure I*to going to love hlta." "I thought you were in love with Harry Needles," Blui's mother said to her. ' x . "I am. But he keeps me so busy. I have to dress him up every day and put a mustache on him and think up ever so many nice things for him to say, and when he comes he doesn't say them. He's terribly young." "You told me that he said obce you were beautiful." "But he has never said It twice, and when he did say It, I didn't believe my ears, he spoke so low. Acted kind o' like he was scared of it. I don't want to wait forever to be really and .truly loved, do I?" Mrs. Kelso laughed. "It's fanny to hear a baby talking like that," she said. "We don't know this young man. He's probably only fooling, anyway." Bim went often to the little tavern after that Of those meetings little Is known, save that, with all the pretty arts of the cavaJler, unknown to Harry Needles, the handsome youth flattered and delighted the girl.

He looked at Kelso, groping for an answer. Then-- "Perhaps not," said be. TI bave been a little wild, but that Is all In the past You can learn about me and my family from anyone in St. Louis. I am not ashamed of anything I have done. May I not hope that you will change your mind?" "Not at present _ Let the future take care of Itself." . "I generally get-What I .wan*," said the young man. "And now and then something that you don't want," said Kelso, a bit nettled by his persistence. "You ought to think of her happiness. She is too sweet fad beautiful for a home like this." There was an awkward moment of silence. The young man said gppdnlght and opened the door. "I'll go with you," said Kelso. He went with Mr. Biggs to the taTern and got his daughter and returned home with her. Mrs. Kelso chlded her husband for being hard on Mr. Biggs. * "He has had his lesson, perhaps ae will turn over a new leaf," she said. "I fear there isn't a new leaf In his book," said Kelso. "They're all dirty." He told his wife what Abe bad said in the store. "The wisdom of the common folk Is In that beardless young giant," he said. "It Is the wisdom of many generations- gathered in the hard school of bitter experience. I wonder where It Is going to lead him." As Ellphalet Biggs was going down the south road next morning he met Bim on her pony near the schoolhouse, returning from the field with her cow. They stopped. "I'm coming, back, little. fWtVha said. • ; i.> "What for?" she asked. "To tell you a secret and ask yon a question. May I come?" "I suppose you can--If you want to," she answered. "I'll come and I'll write to you and send the letters to Ann." , Mentor Graham, the schoolmaster, who lived in the schoolhouse, had come out of Its door. "Qood-by!" said young Mr. Biggs, as his heels touched the flanks of hlr horse. Then he went qylng down the road.

HOW TO RETAIN YOUTH LONG home, Bim went over to eat supper with Ann at the tavern. It happened that Jack Kelso had found Abe sitting alone with his Blackstone In Offut's store that afternoon. "Mr. Kelso, did yoa ever hear wbat Eb Zane said about tbe general subject of sons-in-law?" Abe asked. "Never--but I reckon it would be wise and possibly apropos," said Kelso. ' "He said that a son-in-law was a curious kind o* property," Abe began. Ye know,' says Eb, 'If ye have a hoes that's tricky an' dangerous an' wuth less than nothln', ye can give him away er kill him, but If ye have son-in-law that's wuthless, tobody else will have him an' it's ag'in' the law to kill him. Fust ye know ye've got a critter tin yer hands that kicks an' won't work an' bas to be fed an' liquored three times a day an' Is' wuth a million dollars less than nothln'.'" There was a moment of silence. "When a man is flgurin' his assets, It's better to add ten dollars than to subtract a million," said Abe. "That's about as simple as adding up the weight o' three small hogs." • "What a well of wisdom you are, Abe!" said Kelso. "Do you know anything about this young Mlssourian who is shining up to Bim?" I only know that he was a drinking man up to the time he landed here and that he threatened Traylor with his whip and got thrown against the side of a barn--plenty hard. He's a kind of American king, and ( I don't like kings. They're nice to R>ok at, but generally those that have married 'em have had one h--1 of a time." ~ Kelso rose and went home to supper. Soon after the supper dishes had been laid away in the Kelso cabin, young Mr. Biggs rapped on its door and pulled the latchstring and entered and sat down with Mr. and Mrs. Kel so at the fireside. "I have come to ask for your daughter's hand," he said, as soon as they were seated. "I know It will seem sudden, but she happens to be the girl I want. Tve had her picture in my heart always. I love your daughter. I can give her r. handsome home and everything she could desire." Kelso answered promptly "We are glad to welcome you here, but we cannot entertain such a proposal, flatter lng as It Is. Our daughter is' too young to think of marriage. Then sir, we know very little about you, and may I be pardoned If I add that tt does not recommend you?" The young man wao surprised.

Tenth to a*quality, a spiritual energy, and, properly speaking, there Is no "old age," but spiritual decay. "The foot less prompt to meet the morning dew" is no valid evidence of growing old, any more than to lose a leg In battle. Fussy physical activities are not the only tests of youth, writes Richard Le Gallienne In Harper's Magazlne. That brain of Sophocles which gave us the greatest play at 90, Is more to the point as also that famous saying recorded of him, in reference to the cooling of the passions with the years, that to grow old ;was like being set free from service to a band of madmen. Because we grow wiser and stronger, less selfish and generally more useful to our fellows with the passage of the years is not to say that we have lost our youth. It only means that ^0 have learned bow to employ It We do uot run In every direction as we did. We know a little better wbat we are doing, or what we want to do; bat tbe motive force that enables us to do It Is that same energy which once drove us to make fools of ourselves at tbe beginning, and still provides the same swift means to radiant ends," Decay, disillusion, weariness; we mean these things when we'speak of growing old," but we fall to realize that these are no necessary accompaniments of the years. We may, unfortunately, Inherit them, or acquire them, like bad habits., or through neglect of a proper care and exercise of our spiritual selves. Spiritual and intellectual laziness makes most people "old before their time." If we lose interest In life, Itfe will soon lose interest In us; and It Is just as possible to achieve a precocious senility in the twenties as at any later period- of our lives. . Question of Whether Eggs 8hould Be fried on One or Both 8ides Causes^ ly Doings on the Bte^|li» ship Carolyn. t ' Carteret, N. J.--The profound question of whether fried eggs should be cooked on one or both sides started B. Leonard, a Jamaica negro mess boy of the steamship Carolyn, which docked here recently, on a series of adventures which Included shooting up the ship, escaping from his irons in the brig, jumping overboard, swimming ashore and making good his escape. His adventures are probably not ended, for the police are looking for him. The last seen of B. Leonard was when he drove away on an automobile truck from Prince's Bay, Staten Island, where he came ashore. Trouble With Cook. "The trouble really started soon after the Carolyn left 'Boca Grande, Florida, on her way north," explained Third Officer William Q. Kelly, who was In charge of the steamship at the dock In Carteret. "Leonard was the oiler's mess boy, and he didn't get along well with the cook, V. Donmaro. Thursday morning he went into the gaily and ordered eggs 'turned over* fried on one side. "Leonard got mad and tfiere waft an argument which < caused the cook to ladle out some hot water and throw It at him. Then Leonard rushed down to oilers' quarters and came back with an automatic pistol. The cook ran, wltb Leonard at his heels, shooting. His first shot missed, the second went through the left hand of M. Charlton, the steward of the ship. The third went through my cabin. . "Capt Alonzo Nash beard the shooting and hurried down with Chief Officer J. E. Evans. Leonard saw them and" became quiet immediately. He handed over the automatic and then he was put In irons and sent below. Jumps Overboard. "Yesterday morning, when one of the taen went to his breakfast he found Leonard was missing. Some one bad His First Shot Missed. cut the irons and he had slipped them off, leaving them on the floor of the brig. Then he jumped overboard in the dark. # After a swim of more than a mile Leonard came ashore at Prince's Bay, and later went to a garage owned by John Hoag, where he asked. If he could rent an automobile to take him to New York. When told there were no cars for rent he displayed a roll of $20 to show he was able to pay. That failed to get him a car and so he waited until an oil truck driven by a chauffeur for A. Halliwell, an oil dealer at 341 West Thirty-first street, Paterson, N. J., came along. Leonard persuaded the driver to give him a lift and when last seen was headed for the ferry at Tottenville. . Vanishing Indian Language. .„•* Nowhere In America Jias there been such a diversity of Indian languages as In California. But these languages are now rapidly disappearing. Several of them are known only by five or six, and others by only 20 or 30 living persons, and hardly- a year passes without some dialect or even language, ceasing to exist through tbe death of the last individual able tn speak it. Efforts are being made to record all these languages for the sake of the light they throw on the ancient history of the Pacific coast--Sun and Naw York Herald. . " t Modernity.

According to the stogy a throw line baited with small perch had been put out into the river. One of the party, fishing with rod and reel, later had pulled the throw line partly In to get it out of the way, and In doing this one hook, still' baited with perch, was left hanging above the water. The next morning a huge rattlesnake was found on the exposed hook. It is stated that the snake was as large around as the arm of the average man. The snake was killed and the perch, which had attracted it to the hook, was found in the reptile's mouth. The crop of snakes, especially the rattlesnake species, is larger this year than In years. This Is attributed to the past mild winter. Moccasins swarm the smaller creeks and there are moccasins in the larger streams. The Colorado river has a good steed quota.
