The little village was very quiet
those hot summer days. The’ sorrow
of the pretty maiden had touched the
hearts of the simple kindly folk who
lived there. For a year or more there
had been a tender note In their voice»
when they spoke of Ann. They had
learned with great gladness of her en
gagement to marry Abe. The whole
community were as one family with
its favorite daughter about to be
crowned with good fortune, greater
than she knew. Now that she was
stricken down, their feeling was more
than sympathy. The love of Justice,
the desire to see a great wrong
righted. In a measure, was In their
hearts when they sought news of the
little sufferer at the tavern.
There was no shouting In'the street,
no story-telling In the dooryards, no
Jesting In the stores ami houses, no
merry parties, gladdened hy the notes
of the violin, In the days and nights
o f Ann's long Illness.
Samson writes In his diary that Abe
went about like a man In a dream,
with no heart for work or study. He
spent much time at the doctor's office,
feeling for some straw of hope.
One day lute In August, ns be stood
talking with Samson Traylor In th>
street, Doctor Allen called him from
his doorstep. Ahe turned very pale i
as he obeyed the summons.
“I've just come from her bedside,” !
said Doctor Allen. “She wants to sec

her have a little visit together. Yoe ]

In Ann. There's not much left of the !
poor girl. A breath would blow her
away. But she wants to see you. It
may lie better than medicine. Who i

The two men went across to the
tavern. Mrs. llutledge and Abe tip- '

A sad look came Into her eyes.
“If I had a atone I would throw It

"Why?” Harry asked.
"Because I have to get need to beln«

The young man stopped his horse.
“I hadn't thought of that," he said,
with a sad face. “It Isn't fair to you,
Is It? It’s rather—selfish."
“Why don't you go to Brlmstead's,”
Blw suggested. “A beautiful girl over
there la In love with you. Honestly,
Harry, there Isn't a sweeter girl In
all the world.”
“I ought not to go there, either,”
said the young man.
“Why?”
"Because I mustn't let her think
that I care for her.”
So It happened that Harry went on
with Bim and Abe to the little house
In Hopedale.
They put out the horses. The girl
came and sat on her father's knee.
Harry sat down by the side of Abe on
the grass In the oak's shadow.
“It’s a Joy to have the little girl
back again,” aald Kelso, as he touched
her hair with his hand. “It is still us

“Her eyes look as bright as ever

“No compliments, please. I want
you to be downright mean,” Blw pro

Kelso looked up with a sm ile: “My

Abe made no answer. He was al

"The North Is partly to blame for
what has come,” »aid Samson. “I
guess our Yankee captains brought
over most of the niggers and sold them
to the planters of the South.”
"There was a demand for them, or
those Yankee pirates wouldn't have

“Both seller and buyer were commit

“They established a great wrong

said Ahe. "There Is the point of Irri

“I hear that In the next legislature
an effort will be made to endorse slav

“It Is a dangerous subject,” Abe
answered.
“Whatever happens, I
shall not fall to express my opinion
of slavery If I go back.”
“The time Is coming when you will

Kelso. "There’s no fence that will
