of agreement in her eyes. Then came
up from the barn the ragged little
lad of No Santa Claus band— now a
sturdy, bright-eyed, handsome boy of
twelve. -
The horses were put out and all
went In to supper.
After supper Brlmstead 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 Brlmstead
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 goln’ night and day. The
prairies are a new thing and you’ve
got to tackle ’em in a new way.
I
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 foun
datlon of the new era.”
“You’re right,” said Samson.
“How are you gettln' 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 he able
to get It widened and straightened
and cleaued up so It will be of some
use to us down there.”
“I've heard of him. They call him
HonesfAbe, don’t they?”
“Yes; snd he Is honest If a man
ever was."
“Is he going to marry the Rutledge
girl?” was the query of Mrs. Rrlrn
stead.
“I don't think so," Samson an
swered. a little surprised at her knowl
edge of the attachment. “He's as hum-
ly as Sam Hill and dresses rough and
ain’t real handy with the gnls. Some
fellers are kind o’ fenced In with hum
llness and awkwardness."
“The boys arming here are all
e
fenced In," said Annabel. “There’s
nobody here of my age but Lanky Pel-
ei8, who looks like a fish, and a red
headed Irish 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
trull, each to find Ills i»ot of gold at
the foot of the rainbow of memory. .
Before they went to bed that night
Brlmstead paid his debt to Samson,
with interest, and very confidentially.
It was a long, wearisome ride hack
ta 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
