and seren nUes ef drift bad to be cat
through to Concord burying ground.
The entire population, as well as inen
from Clary's Grove, crowded th4
tavern. People stared when'Don Pedro
Lo rimer, came in with . Redmond
Clary, richly and warmly dressed, as If
he had not found it unprofitable to
plead the annexation of Cuba. His
shining black hair and olive face had
a placid, worldly look. One handwork-.
lng woman .whispered to another that
you would not think butter could -melt
in his mouth, and he appeared 'the
last man to rob an orphan or to run
her off with him against her will.
Peggy saw him through her tears
with indignation. She sat beside Anty
wine on one of three chairs which Ann
Rutledge had placed at the head of
the coffin for Shickshack's family.. But
the third chair remained vacant' until
the preacher stood in embarrassment,
undecided whether or not to raise a
hymn while all the mourners gathered.
Shickshack's widow finally entered
the tavern muffled from the snow in
a blanket, carrying a basket on her
arm. The crowded assembly opened
to let her pass. She set her basket
down, and with a vicious pounce took
Anty wine and Peggy by the ear. Anty
wine visibly restrained himself and
walked unresisting with Peggy to the
foot of the coffin. Sally shoved the
chairs after them, and returned to her
own' place as chief mourner.
"This isn't your funeral!" the be
reaved woman explained sourly to
them. "He wasn't no kin to either
of ye!"
Solemn-featured neighbors relaxed
in countenance and looked sidelong at
one another. They watched Sally lay
off the blanket and take from her
basket a rusty mourning shawl, a black
bonnet and crape veil. In this regalia,
kept for her husband's funerals, she
dressed herself publicly, and. having
completed- her preparations, sat down,,
heaving a deep sigh. The sight of her
treard under widow's weeds so affect
ed one of the Grove boys that he dis
graced himself by an audible snort.
He. did not mind disturbing meeting,
but a funeral was different; and he
whispered apologetically to the man
beside him: "I bet God laughed when
He made that woman!"
Candles were lighted In the tavern
before the masculine population of
New Salem for only those went who
could 8rel snow and help dig a grave
returned from burying Shickshack.
A river of icy air flowing out of the
northwest had by that time cleared
the storm away. Peggy and Anty
wine were to spend the second night
of their peculiar orphanage at the Rut
ledges', in order to settle the business
of Peggy's own inheritance, which
Shickshack had silently passed on to
his successors.
They sat down with Lincoln and Ann
Rutledge in the best room, and he put
the rattlesnake skin before them on
a table. Peggy looked at it curiously,
having never before seen her fortune,
or the case which held it. The spots
described by scales made her shudder.
Ann also saw It with aversion, and
wondered why Shickshack preferred
that to a strong piece of buckskin.
"A rattlesnake," said Lincoln; "when
you get over the first shock of intro
duction to him. Is a mighty pretty fel
low. See his combine of colors! He
has lost his first freshness and his
rattles, trying to bruise the tough hide
of mankind. But I doubt if he ever
stung anybody; he wouldn't unless he
was crowded." :
Through an open door the. tavern
kitchen displayed a roaring hearth,
where the Dutch oven, with coals on
its head and beneath its feet, held a
Joint of venison. A coffee pot, standing
on a trivet over embers, sent perfume
abroad. Johnnycakes of parched corn
ground in the hand-mill were browning
on boards slanted tow.3 the fire
"the best bread that ever was e't!"
testifies a surviving New Salemite.
Hominy hissing in pork fat sent its
song through the room, while the
younger Rutledge girls helped their
mother bring to the table cold -turkey,
cream and butter, fruits preserved In
maple syrup, and honey found In the
wild-bee tree. ,-
Plenty of food, an abundance of
candle-light, and the heartening
warmth of the Franklin stdve near
her, may' have suggested visions to
Peggy as she Inquired of her friends
"What must I do with this money?"
"Sieur Abe has kept it sale," sug
gested Anty wine.
"There is no one trustier!" spoke
Ann.
"Will you keep It for me, Mr. Lin
colnr "I am not a good money-getter." he
laughed, "and I doubt If I am a good
money-keeper. The only thing
I j
could do would be to carry It around
for you and guarantee It shouldn't fall
into jrorso bA&dV
Tne acuiwuT knows you are the
strongest man in New Salem,"' said
Antywine, resting his cheek upon his
hand and lifting eyes of confidence to
his elder. '
"But I haven't measured with Clary's
Grove yet."
"Antywine and I both know." said
Peggy, "how everybody looks up to
yOU. We COUld nOt keep It Ourselves
as well as you could do It for as, Mr.
Lincoln."
Ann stretched out one slim, long-
fingered hand to earess Peggy's cheek,
"Well, children, I'm of age. and Ann
Is IS. I iecon we'll have to father
I
and mother you.
Jky 'you know how
much money you have in this bank, ot
Shickshack's, Peggy?".
- - "I don't." - - . V : ' ,
- "Do - you, know, Antywine r s
. "Me! ..No I have never inquire',
and Shickshack have not sho. me."
"If the "trust Is to be put" into my
hands I must know the amount." : "
, Lincoln untied the leather cord which
bound the snake's neck; and shook it
by the tail. Out gushed all the yellow
pieces with the ring of gold upon the
table; Spanish doubloons and French
louis, which cost him some trouble to
calculate. He set them In cylindrical
piles, row after row. Wood snapped in
the open Franklin stove, and no other
fround could be heard in the room but
the. liquid clink pf-gold. Ann, Peggy
and Antywine watched the counting.
Viane Rutledge, looking through the
door at the silent company, beckoned
little
Jane to stare at such amazing
1- ' . h
wealth.
"Whose is it?" whispered Jane.
"Peggy Shickshack's, of course.
Where would Antywine La Chance, or
Mr. Abe Lincoln, or Ann get it? The
old Indian must have been a miser.
But I wouldn't be her and a Spaniard
for all her money.'
"Two thousand and fifty dollars."
turn the gold to its pouch.
"Two thousand dollars Is a large
amount." said Ann. .
"Am I very rich?" Inquired Peggy.
"Well, one hundred dollars will buy
eighty acres of land, or two horses.
You are therefore worth sixteen

AND STUCK QUIVERING IN THE
OPPOSITE WALL.
hundred acres of land, and something
over for calico and linsey; and, con
sidering the times and the country,,
may call yourself fairly well off."
"Must I buy sixteen hundred acres
of land!"
Lincoln's eyes twinkled, losing for a
moment their usual expression of dark
blue wistfulness. He was not much
older than the Canadian boy who
venerated him as an oracle, but 'he
had already begun to guide the desti
nies of others. .'''.
"You'd better let your husband de
cide that matter when you are older,"
he answered, and while the words were
being spoken, Pedro Lorimer entered
the tavern in a whirl of winter air.
He closed the outer door, made his ;
salutations with grace, and approached
the table where the money counters
sat. Lincoln deliberately filled the
snake skin, tied its .neck shut, and sat
with it in his large hands, pleasantly
returning the visitor's greeting. The
tavern was free to all comers. Yet
Antywine at once stood up in front of
Peggy, his blond head towering above
the swart arrival.
"What you do here, eh? You dive
Shickshack around, so he die in the
drift! -When I see you to-day I think
I will throw you In the street! Go off
get some states hannex' to Cuba!"
- "My pretty fellow," returned Pedro
Lorimer, "I rode here through very
biting cold to see my young cousin.
I shall now take charge of her."
"Tell him I won't go with him,
Antywine," said Peggy.
"The gentleman must understand,"
spoke Lincoln, "that he cannot force
guardianship on a girl of Peggy's age
except by kidnaping. We folks in New
Salem have not measured ourselves
with the great people In the world,
but we rather reckon that a New Or
leans gambler would make a mighty
poor guardian." .
The foreigner's olive skin, chilled
by the cold from which he had just
entered, took a swift, greenish pallor.
He stepped- forward hissing, and
snapped Ms fingers In Lincoln's face.
Antywine was upon him like a tiger,
dragging him to the door, throwing
him out into the snow, and shooting
the bolt behind him.
"Goody!" Peggy exclaimed with pas
sionate approval.
Ann put her hands to her eyes, and
Lincoln laughed.
"Take care, Antywine.
The oiled paper of the window
rBH usu -vuiou aim
Rutledge from the . hand-mill, was
slashed by a knife. Antywine flattened
himself against the door. The knife
shot past his head and stuck quiv-
in the opposite wall.
Jf New Salem folks had distrusted
this erratic and Intermittent visitor
from the first, they quite made np
their minds about him wh'en he dis
appeared once more after Shickshack's
funeral it became generally known
how he had followed that poor Indian
to rob; a girt The winter of the deep
snow gave shut-in lwuseholders plenty
of .time to talk. The-fact that Pedro
Lorimer had leen'harbore at Clary"
Grove added no sweetness to his rep-
Iutation. Some were afraid' he would
come back and organise the wild spir
its there for any kind of local annex
ation which might strike his fancy.
But the northern winter, from which
a tropical nature shrank, went by with
out disturbance. - If Black Hawk had
Stirred in the . northwest,- he, settled
'down t&await a better season PeopleA
noT "longer rode -iaL sleids over buried-8take-andridered
fences. Vast white ,
frosted' loaves 6r "prairies," and forests
standing; kriee-deep in: snow, returned
to their natural aspect. Streams ran. ,
brimful, and Rock Creek covered half .
the valley during the spring thaw. -V w
Peggy had plenty of chances to loan ;.
her money at a, high rate of interest
to impecunious people, with little pros
pect of .. getting it back. Lincoln said ;
Jie was not a good adviser, for he had . :
failed at storekeeping, and made debts !
which must cost him years of hard
work. But it appeared to him that her
gold was safer in the snakeskin coiled j
A tif'a wnfst than it would " be
' turned into anything else, until she
I ... .
eould buy and hold lana. .
Antywine and Peggy had gone back
to Sally's cabin. But as the season ad
vanced and it was time to take up the
work of -surveying again, Antywine
consulted Lincoln. -
"I have made ud my mind," he de-
! clared- "not itoliT,e1. ?tQ
Some more ai ail. oue nam uij j.a,iv
goods, and her first man's goods, and
Shickshack's cabin. She is well on.
There Is that Onslow house at the
west end of the road. ' I can buy it
myself for some trade. We will keep
house." -
"Peggy and your.' -
"Yes," replied Antywine, with Inno
cent enthusiasm. . "I will take care of
her. Me, 'I can make moccasins; I
can kill plenty deer and cure venison.
When I am away with you to carry
the, chain, she can bar -thel -door and
keep Sally out, and I . sleep easy. I
not sleep easy, Sieur Abe, to go away .
and leave her alone with that Sally,
who may cast an evil eye or a stick of
wood at her the minute my back is
turn'!" ; -
."You better put off the housekeeping
until we come home," suggested "
Lincoln, smiling, "and let Peggy
board at the tavern while we are away.
She has plenty of money." - .
Anty wine's blue eyes flashed joy at
the unfolding of this brilliant plan.
He had never thought of Peggy's
: money as currency which might,, be
' put to use. It was simply a valuable
possession, hoarded for her.
Peggy was directly received into the
Rutledge family, where she had . an
abundance of good food and Ann's
teaching and companionship for a
stipulated sum in shillings and flps
amounting to less than two dollars a
'week. To her it was a season of joy
and rapid development. Viane Rut
ledge, herself budding into girlhood,
watched the Spaniard with surprise and
reluctant approval. Peggy's angles
-disappeared. She shot up taller. Her
I lissome ' limbs . were round, and her
halting step without a crutch had an
j appealing charm. . Her little face
gathered a sweetness which provoked
kisses; It had the clean polish of a
flower petal. She was so good and so
. happy, so busy learning .how to man
, age the affairs of dally living, and so
iglad to draw her breath," that every
jbody said, "She is growing pretty:
Whoever imagined that little weazened
! Spaniard would turn out like this?"
Antywine and Lincoln were away un
til early in June. They came driving an
ox-wagon from the west into New Salem
one evening at sunset, and drew up at
j the vacant cabin which Antywine in
i tended to make his own. It stood
I waiting for him in primitive security.
The ox-wagon carried A squat, low
chest of drawers, evidently , bought
! at second-hand, but bright . and rosy
through its old mahogany surface, and
Anty wine's first housekeeping invest
ment. Lincoln helped him unload it,
and they set it on the sward before
the cabin door.
"I lift him' into the house myself,"
said Antywine. So Lincoln drove the
borrowed cattle on, knowing he was
welcome to put them into anybody's
pasture until he and his chain bearer
returned them. - , .
Antywine opened the door of the
playhouse he was Intending to make
for Peggy.- Though the sensitive part
of him, which Peggy said was like a
woman, quivered with delight, he had
a free, bold spirit, ready to dare any
thing. On long tramps and rides and
through days of mechanical labor with
a master mind he had been coming
to his own as a man.
"There's a mighty difference," Lin-,
coin once said to him, "between study
ing with, the outside of your eyeballs
and studying with your eyes open clear
to the bottom of your brain." -
Antywine saw that new oiled paper
would have to be put into the weather
beaten 'windows, over which Peggy
would hang shortwhlte curtains, per
taps like those that could be-shoved
apart on strings at the tavern. He
selected the corner' for. his chest of
drawers, and was silently- calculating -how?
long it would take to turn out
chairst-rand, tables- at the cooper's shop,
when the ameU of a cob pipe made
him: shut the-door to keep Sally frpm
looking into his house. Z Sally had come
up behind him and was examining the
chest of drawers. : In earlier days, be
fore beard grew upon her face, or
avarice and vindlctiveness hewed it.
her piercing black eyes may have been
admired. She fixed them on Antywine.
He touched his cap with the courtesy
his father had taught him to show all
women, and said, "Good day, Sally."
He heard Lincoln's gee-hawing to the
oxen, turn to "Woa, Buck!" and saw :
that Slicky Green and young' Yates j
had come, down theuxoad to meet, the f
surveyor. . : - ' , -,. , - ;.-
- . "Have you heard - about Peggy's
death?" inquired Sally. . I
" "Her death?" Antywine repeated. -'
. "Ye,. She was burled a week ago.'
'-.I '." CHAPTER VI. -",
: "I not believe you!" said Antywine,
- ."You ask-them Rutledges, then, that 1,
was hired to take such fine care , of ;
her! Why don't you ; go . and ask
them?" : 7 ..; -
:T not-helieve "you! ' trembled Anty
wine. He sat down on the doorstep
holding his blinded head between his
i-!-- . "' i
v -"You and Peggy -thought you would .
go to yourselves, didn't you? ' But. she j
lays in Concord miryin'-ground now,
right, alongside' of Shickshack; and
you know where he lays.- The new
grave's there." " -
"I noit "believe you! I not believe
you! , I not believe you!"
Antywine leaped from the doorsill
and ran like a deer to the tavern, pass-
ing the young men and the oxen with
out noticing or hearing them. Ann
Rutledge was sewing - by an open
window with her back toward him.
The two young girls were in the garden
with their mother. He did not see
Peggy anywhere. A hush was upon
the house, and as Ann turned and saw
him with a frightened look on her
face, he could not ask any question,
but took the path down to Rock creek,
and ran to the stone where Peggy used
to hide her book for him. The sun
was down and a ribbon of mist wavered
in front of the closed schoolhouse.
Nobody would ever wait for him at
that rock again. .He ran along the
ravine below the gardens and returned
to his house, barring the door and
drawing the latch-string in. Lying on j
the floor in the darkest corner, he hid
his weeping,' and made no answer to
the young men, who called his name
through the window.
Sally was asleep in. her own cabin
long before Antywine crept out of his j
and took the road to Concord burying
ground. It was a long walk under
blurred stars, for the wind changed
after midnight, belying the promise of
a fair sunset.
Antywine tried to bring Peggy's face
befor him, with its many flitting ex
pressions.,. Her eyes were hazel, or
black, or gray, by changeable turns,
swarming with points of light. He
remembered drinking from the gourd
after her, on the very side where she
had drank, and the pleased trembling
of her lips when she noticed it. All the
ways and traits . which went to the
making of the companion he called
sweetheart were present to his mind,
when groping among saplings in the
thinly peopled burying-ground he came
to Shickshack's sunken grave which
he had himself helped to make, and
found a fresh clay hillock beside it.
The latter part of the night rain
poured upon, the chest " of drawers
which Antywine had left standing in
front of the cabin and streamed down
its polished sides. Rain beat upon
Antywine through sapling boughs, sat
urating his linsey hunting-shirt and
darkening his worn buckskins.
Drenched grass and a tangle of little
trees he scarcely felt or saw when
sodden, and miserable daylight came.
By the end of the afternoon some light
crept out "from' sunset, and there was
a clearing up in the west. Lincoln
climbed the burying-ground fence, and
found Antywine lying asleep across the
new-made grave.- He was so ghastly
that Lincoln at once shook him, feel
ing relieved when he opened his eyes.
- The boy looked up at the mole like
a warm pulsing heart on his friend's
cheek. But his friend's eyes twinkled.
"What are you doing here on old
Daddy Cameron's grave, Antywine?" ;
Antywine sprang as from a rattle
snake. He was exhausted, so that Lin
coln gave him both hands to help him
rise.
"Daddy Cameron died last week and
they buried him in the same row with
Shickshack. He was a fine old man,
but if I were you I wouldn't lie out
att night and all day on his grave!"
"Sally have tell me this Is where she
is bury'!"
"Who? Peggy?"
"Yes, Sieur Abe. Where is she?"
"At the tavern."
"She "is not dead?"
"Not a bit!"
"But Sally have tell me "
"Haven't you summered and wintered
Sally long enough to know when she
is paying you a grudge?"
"Buf I run to the tavern myself "
"And scare Ann, and run away again
without asking any questions. I've
had a long jaunt through the mud and
searched the better part of a day for
you." ; -
Antywine threw his arms around
Lincoln and sobbed and laughed like
.a woman.' He 'swayed, and could
scarcely stand.
"You've made yourself sick being so
downhearted when you ought to have
kept your wits. That Lorimer fellow
Is back at the Grove again, and he's
making a bold stand now. If he had
known I carry that snakeskin J
reckon he would have followed our
chain. r But Dick Yates la here. We
tried to find ' you last night, and
couldn't,
"I tell Sally I not believe her!"
shivered Antywine.
"Andthen you" leg it out-here and
pass a sentimental night and a watery
day on Daddy Cameron's grave! . I'm
surprised at you!" -
The American" way of joking over
what -had been .tragedy seemed
delicious to the Canadian boy as he
tramped back the long seven miles.
When he reached his house at the end
of the village Lincoln did not think it
advisable to take him any farther.
Antywine was so ill that he lay down
upon the floor, Tesis ting any suggestion
of food. -v-w. - - i s, --
- Through delirious eyes he saw the
blaze, which Lincoln contrived to start
in the chimney, interlace sticks piled
there months before in readiness for
a first house-warming.
- Lincoln was on his knees blowing
it when he heard Slicky . Green pant
through the door: - --u v '
"Are you here, Abe? You're wanted
at the "-tavern." .- - '
."What's the matter at the tavern?"
The ? Grove boys are coming torl
throw everthing eet ef doors if you
don't give that Lorimer man the Span
iard and her money." - V
"How do you know?" . '
"Martha -Bell Clary slipped off or
her father's horse" and brought word."
"Where's Dick?"
. "He's looking somewhere else for
you."
Lincoln stood up and glanced at
Antywine, who had suffered, but was
unable to fight, resting like a log at
the hearth corner.
"Poor Antywine!" he whispered, and
carefully shut the door as he went out
to settle the unconscious boy's fate.
