yrrf The period' rf the early settlement of
Kansas is replete with excitement and
Interest to the lover of history. When
th question as to whether Kansas was
to be a free or a slave state wag left to
the people settling within her borders,
there was wild iiimshing of souls from
&th north and south, bringing with
them their strongest sectional preju
dices. Each element was aggressively
determined to establish political suprem
acy on those untamed prairie of the
bnffaio and the Indian, and when those
feelings, so widely different, clashed, as
a natural consequence bloodshed result
ed, and Kansas was given a title, not of
her own choosing, "Bloody."
After the war, in the latter part of the
-sixties, a great influx of immigration set
Into Kansas. These settlers came from
many different states, and were more the
true homeseekers, in the broad sense of
the term, than the classes first referred
to in this tale.
It was a balmy spring day in 1SCS that
s Urge, heavily loaded wagon, covered
with thick canvas and drawn by an ill
matched team, moved slowly along the
old military road, about thirty-five miles
onth of Fort Scott The "off horse"
was a large, bony black, while his mate
was a rongh coated, jaded looking gray
mule, whose appearance might have sug
gested service in the days of Methuselah.
The spriug seat of the "prairie schoon
- er" was occupied by as oddly an assorted
pair as the team which drew them south
ward over the billowy plain.
The driver. Adam Hamlet, was a man
about forty-five years of slis. He was a
hunchback, his body thick set and his
legs diminutive in size and length. His
broad though misshapen shoulders sup
ported a large head, covered with red
dish brown hair; his eyes looked like two
bright bine beads, while his mouth sug
gested a humming bird's nest in a thick
et, all bnt hidden as it was in the bushy
growth of whiskers that fortified theen
tire lower part of his face. His clothing
was made of coarse jeans, and his feet
were incased in rusty, cowhide boots,
one of which be had elevated upon the
' dashboard.
The man's companion, the sole one
who had shared his long travels in the
covered wagon, was his daughter Nancy.
tall, slender girl of eighteen, in whose
pretty pink cheeks, haaei eyes and dark
tresses could be traced a strong resem
blance to the mother who had been left
behind in a little country graveyard.
The Hamlets were originally from
Tennessee, but for the past five or six
years had been living near relatives ia
that part of Illinois which is locally
designated as "Egypt" Bat the death
of his two youngest children, followed
oon by the wife, made him dissatisfied
with the locality, and putting his only
remaining child, Nancy, with their
lighter household goods, into the wagon,
he had set his face westward with the
purpose to take np "the burden of life
again" ont in Kansas.
Before leaving "Egypt" Adam Hamlet
had met a claim holder who was home
sick, and desired to sell or trade his prai
rie land in the wild west By taming
over a few head of cattle Hamlet earns
Jnto possession of a claim which he had
-never seen a very unbusinesslike way
of doing things; but as all his neighbors
-Touched for the man's honesty Hamlet
.-decided to run the risk.
With explicit directions from the pre
vious owner, the settler was now on his
way to the southeastern part of the state,
where the claim was located,
Hamlet was of a most genial dispost
Hon, despite his somewhat unfavorable
appearance, and as they journeyed over
Ihe seemingly endless plains the girl's
eyes would ever and again torn toward
her deformed parent, and test upon him
withitn expression of protective tender
ness and the utmost filial affection.
"Wekain't reach the claim tonight,
pap, I reckon," she remarked, after a
Silence. 1
"No, I reckon we kain't, Nancy," he
Answered, looking before them down the
road. "We must be nigh erbout thirty
mile yit from ther claim, ef I hain't
jniseed my calkerlations."
"Yes, an' Pete and Molly ac't as ef
they was jest erbout tuckered out,"
Jfancy said pityingly.
"Yes, I 'low they air."
"Rein' as we kain't git to Deer creek
-tonight, we best go into camp airly, an' i
give the beasts a good rest, said the girl.
"Yes, we will, Nancy. Yer see that
-patch o' timber lyin' erhead o' us?"
"Jest over Pete's right earr
"Yes; thefs the patch. I low well
find a creek thar, an' wood ter cook our
npper by. We'll camp thar."
They drove along in silence for some
time, during which the girl's intelligent
hazel eyes were kept busy observing the
strange forms of nature around them.
The prairies were covered with a car
pet of tender green grass, enstarred
thickly with deer tongues and other wild
flowers which accompany the renewal of
the vear in v'Uiuii. v11qw breasted

Comers from ann dead indigo or iron

sweetness. Occasionally a huge jtick

"It s plumb wild lookiu' out hyor in
Kansas, aiul it, papT the girl remarked,
"Yea, I'm erfeard. too, yer goin tor

iwered Adain Hamlet
"No, I ain't aimiu' to git homesick.
pap. it u ne piumo tunerent, I snow,
from liviu' ertuong friends; bnt we've
come out hyer to make us a home of our
own, hu' I ain't goiu' to git homesick."
And she set her lips firmly, as was Nancy
Hamlet's habit when aummouing her
forces of resolution.
"God bless yer, Nancy) Yer a brave
one, au' I don't know how I'd ever git
erlong without yer," said Adam in
fond tone.
" Jest see the posies an' the pnrty birds!
I haint goin' to be without friends with
such company as them to cheer me out
hyer," she said ia a cheerful voice.
That evening they encamped on the
Kinks of a small, thinly wooded stream.
While Hamlet attended to the tired
team Nancy gathered some dry twigs,
with which she soon had a fire started.
Then she put oa larger sticks, and whea
the had secured a good bed of coal she
went to the stream, filled the tea kettle
with water and fixed it to boil This
done, she went to the larder tu the
wagon, cut several slice of bacon, pre-

In the roseate tints of sunset Hamlet
that the stranger was a young man
of about twenty-six, handsome and
straight as a pine. He wore a semi-
Indian suit of fancifully fringed leather,
and his fight eurly hair reached to his
massive snomoers from under ait wide
sombrero.
He rode np to the wagon and halted
before Adam.
Good evening, strangerP be greeted
the mover.
"Good evenia'.sirr returned the hunch
back, looking admiringly at the stran
ger's fine pony and tasteful equipments.
"What pint air yer aiuiin' fur, stran
ger?" asked the horseman, his blue eye
following the movements of Nancy as
she busied herself with the cooking over
the little camp fire, just beyond the spot
where he had reined in. He could not
help thinking what a pleasant picture
the girl made in her dark calico dress
and large checked apron, while the aroma
of the coffee and frying bacon which rose
on the prairie air was very alluring, in
deed, to a vigorous, hungry man.
"I be aiuiin' fur Cherokee county,"
answered Hamlet

"Waal, yer see Pender eome back to

"Yea, Ik Pender' claim is the best on

"Nothiu only Ik Pender's owa writin'
to say ther wap is geoywine. He said
he hadn't never contracted fee the

"No, fur I reckon Ik, like some other
chaps I know, wasn't keerin' to hey the
land leaguers git up a necktie social for
his special benefit"
"The land leaguers? What' them?"
"Ther settlers who contend thet con
gress has no right to sell the land ter
some ole monopolist, but thet they hey a
plumb right to pre-empt any homestead,
an' pay a little fee ter our government
for their places, 'ste'd o' a big pile to
some individual who ha bought the
privilege of disposing of what' called
the neutral lands."
"I never heerd nothin o' these leaguer
before." , .
"Well, they've been a-threatenin fur

done that way with the lands, an' hey
been stirred up considerable, But if
just lately thet they're oallin' meetin'
at the settlers' cabin and organizin'

out hyer, stranger, over these neutral
lands."
"I reckon they won't trouble me."
"Ef they do, Tom Byers will see yer
gafe through. I'm not a leaguer nur a
anti-leaguer; I jest reserve ther right to
act as I please, as any free American
citizen ought to do."
"Thefs me, too, Mr. Byers. But won't
yer lite, give yer beast a rest, uu' take
supper with us?'
"Thank yer, I don't keer if I do," and
he threw himself from the saddle and be
gan preparations to lariat his pony. "I'm

At four o'clock that evening they halt-

In 1857, kept a country poetoffice, to

Dngan and his wife came out to the
wagon and talked in a most friendly
manner for more than an hour.
When the travelers were ready to start
:ou, they having declined the Dugans'
' pressing invitation to stay overnight at
: their cabin, the old bordennan said:
j "Well, seeiu' yer won't stay with us,
i Til put Neil on the pony an' let him 'scort

four miles furder on; but Ned knows
! Pender' place like a book, fur many's
the day the boy' spent with Pender in

j Under the guidance of Neil Dngan, a
strapping youth of seventeen, the Ham
lets reached their claim on Deer creek
; just before the sun had dropped below
I the tree tops along the Neosho river.
Deer creek was a prairie stream, with
j thickets of wild plum and blackberry
1 vines along its bunks, with now and
j then a cottonwood or a wild cherry tree
j to break the monotony. It took a sonth
, westerly course, flowing into the Neo

"Well, Pm plumb glad ter git hyer at

remarked with a sigh of relief as the
tired team halted before the habitation,
hollowed out of the side of a steep bank.
There was a smooth bank about eighteen
feet wide, hard as a floor, right before
the dugout door, and sloping very grad
ually to the little creek bed below.
"I'm afeared yer Koin" ter find it
mighty roughliviu' in a dugout, Nancy," j
said Hamlet as he inspected the anything
trat cleanly interior.
"Oh, I'll slick it up a heap, pap," said
the girl, who had followed him inside,
"till it'll look plumb different If

"Yer right, Nancy; an' well make a

new settlers alone.
They had just finished their evening
meal, and had started to remove some of
their goods from the wagon into the dug
