The Ferment.
On hls voyage to New York. Jack
wrote long letters to Murgaret and to
Doctor Franklin, which were deposited
In the post office on hls arrival, the
tenth of Murch. He observed a great
change In the spirit of the people.
They were no longer content with
words. The ferment was showing Itself
In acts of open and violent disorder.
The statue of George I II , near the
battery, was treated to n volley of de
cayed eggs. In the evening of hls ar
rival. This hot blood was due to the
effort to prevent free speech In the
colonies and the proposal to send
political prisoners to England for trial.
Jack took the first boat to Albany
and found Solomon working on the
Irons farm. In hls diary he tells of
the delightful days of rest he enjoyed
with Ida family. Solomon had told
them of the grvut adventure but Jack
would have little to say of it, having
no pride In that achievement.
Soon the scout left on a mission for
the com nr! t tee of safety to distant set
tlements In the great north bush.
’T il be spendln' the hull moon In the
wilderness,’’ he said to Jack. “Goln’
to Vlrglnny when I get back, an' I'll
look fer ye on the way down."
Jack set out for Philadelphia the
day after Solomon left. He stopped at
Kinderhook on hls way down the river
and addressed Its people on conditions
In England. A young Tory Interrupted
hia remarks. At the barbecue, which
followed, thia young man was seized
and punished by a number of stalwart
girls who removed hls collur and Jack
et by force and covered hls head and
neck with molasses and the fuzz of
cat tails. Jack Interceded for the
Tory and atopped the proceeding.
‘My friends, we must control out
anger," he sold. "Let us not try to
subdue tyranny by using It ourselves."
Everywhere he found the people In
such a temper that Tories had to hold
their peace or suffer punishment. At

Franklin, which told how hls mall had
been tampered w ith ; that no letter had

apparent Indifference as to the evl

words regarding free speech In Amer

twenty days later, compelling its pop

citizens into t e open. Parties went
out Tory hunting. Every suspected

Town meetings were held even under
the eyes of the king's soldiers and no

were chosen, and early In August, they
were traveling on many different roads
