"Mr. Kelso's remarks, cspeclnlly the
part which applied to me, remind me
of the Ktory of the prosperous grocer
of Jollet. One Saturday night he und
his boys were busy selling sausage.
Suddenly In came a man with whom
he had quurrelcd and laid two dead
cats on the counter.
" 'There,' said lav'thls makes seven
today. I'll call Monday and get my
money.'
"We were doing n good business here
making fun. It seems n pity to ruin
It and throw suspicion on the quality
of the goods by throwing a cat on
the counter."
This raised n storm of merriment,
nfter which ho recited the poem of
Burns, with keen appreciation of Its
quality. Samson repentedly writes ol
his gift for Interpretation, especially
of tho comic, and now and then lays
particular stress on Ida power of mim
icry. John Cameron sang "The Sword of
Blinker Hill" nnd "Forty Years Ago,
Tom." Samson played while the older
people danced until midnight. Then,
after noisy farewells, men, women nnd
children started In the moonlit road
toward the village. Ann Hutlcdge had
Abe on one arm und John McNeil on
the other.
CHAPTER VI.
Which Dcccrlbea tho Lonely Life In
a Prairie Cabin and a Stirring Ad
venture on the Underground Rail
road About the Time It Began Op
erations. When Samson paid Mr. Gollnhcr, r
"detector" cume with tho latter to look
nt the money bofore It was ucceptcd.
There were many counterfeits and bills
good only at a certain discount of
face value going about those days and
the detector was In great request. Di
rectly nfter moving In, Samson dug a
well nnd lined It with a hollow log.
He bought tools and another team and
then he and Hurry began their fall
plowing. Day after day for weeks
they paced with their turning furrows
until 11 hundred acres, stretching half
n mllo to the west and well to the
north of tho house, were blnck with
them. Fever and nguo descended up
on the little home In the early winter.
In a letter to hcfe brother, dated
January 4th, 1KI2, Surah writes:
"Wo have been longing for news
from home, but not u word bas come
from you. It don't seem us If we could
stand It unless wo hear from you or
some of the folks once In a while.
We are not dead Just because we are
a thousand miles away. We wnnt to
hear from you. Please write und let
us know how father and mother are
and all the news. We have nil been
sick with the fever nnd ague. It Is a
beautiful country and the soil Is very
rich, hut there Is some sickness. Sam
sou nnd I were both sick nt the same
time. I never knew Samsoa to give
up before. He couldn't go on, his bend
ached so. Little Joe helped me get
the tire started and brought somo wa
ter nnd waited on us. Hurry Needles
hud gone nwny to Sprlnglleld for Mr.
Offut with u drove of hogs. Two oth
er boys are with him. He Is going to
buy n new suit. He Is a very proud
boy. Joe nnd Betsey got back with
tho doctor at nine. That night Ab
Lincoln came and sat up with us und
guve us our medicine and kept tho
lire going. It was comical to see him
lying beside Joe In his trundle bed,
with his long legs sticking over th
end of It nnd his feet standing on the
lloor nbout a yard from the bed. He
was spread ull over tho place. Ho
talked about religion nnd his views
would shock most of our friends In tho
Knst. He doesn't believe In the kind
of Heaven that tho ministers talk
about or any eternnl hell. He says
that nobody knows anything about the
hereafter, except Unit God Is a kind
and forgiving father and tlint nil men
are His children. Ho says that wo
can only fcorve God by serving ench
otner. He seems to think thnt every
man, good or bail, black or white, rich
or poor, Is his brother. Ho thinks
that Henry Clay, next to Daniel Web
ster, Is the greatest man In the coun
try. He Is studying hard. Expects to
go out and make speeches for Clay
next summer, lie Is qulto severo In
his talk against General Jackson. He
and Samson agree In politics nnd re
ligion. Thoy aro n good deal nllke.
Ho Is very fond of Samson and Har
rycalls them his partners. We lovo
this big awkward giant. Ills feet nro
set In the straight way and wo think
that he is going to muko his mark In
the world.
"You said you would come out next
spring to look about. Pleaso don't
disappoint us. I think It would almost
break my heart. I am counting tho
days. Don't bo nfrnld of fever nnd
ague. Saplngton's pills cure it In three
or tamr day. I would take the tenia
boat at Pittsburg, the romls in Ohio
and Indiana n' ho bad. You can get
a steamer up tho Illinois river at Al
ton und get off at Beardstown nnd
drive across country. If we knew
when you were coming Samson or Alio
would meet you. Glvo our lovo to all
the folks und friends.
"Yours affectionately,
"Snrah nnd Samson."
It bad been n cold winter and not
easy to keep comfortnblo in the little
house. In the worst weather Sam
son had used to get up at night to
keep the lire going. Late In January
a wind from the southeast melted the
snow nnd wnrmed tho air of the mid
lunds so thnt, for u week or so, It
seemed as If spring were come. One
night of this week Sambo awoke tho
family with his barking. A strong
wind was rushing across the' plains
and roaring over the cabin nnd wall
ing In its chimney. Suddenly there
was a rap on Its door. When Samson
opened It ho saw In the moonlight a
young colored man nnd woman stand
ing near the doorstep.
"Is dls Mlstnh Truylor?" tho young
man asked.
"It Is," said Snmson. "What can I
do for you?"
"Mas'r, de good Lord done fotched
us hero to nsk you fo' help," said the
negro. "We be nigh wone out with cold
an' hunguli, still, 'deed we be."
Snmson asked them in and put wood
on the tire, nnd Sarah got up and made
some hot tea mid brought food from
the cupboard nnd gave It to the stran
gers, who sat shivering In tho firelight.
They were n good-looking pair, the
young woman being almost white.
They were man and wife. Tho latter
stopped eating and moaned nnd shook
with emotion ns her husband told
their story. Their master had died
tho year before and thoy had been
brought to St. Louis to bo sold In the
slave market. There they had es
caped by night and gone to the house
of nn old friend of their former owner
who lived north of tho city on the
river shore. He had taken pity on
them und brought them across the
Mississippi nnd stnrtcd them on the
north rond with a letter to Elijah
Lovejoy of Alton and a supply of food.
Since then they had been hiding days
In the swampa anil t'hlclscts and had
traveled by night. Mr. Lovejoy had
sent them to Ernstus Wright of
Sprlnglleld, nnd Mr. Wright bad given
them the name of Snmson Traylor and
tho location of his cabin. From there
they were bound for the house of John
Peasley, in Hopednle, Tazowell county.
Lovejoy had asked them to keep tb,o
letter with which they hod begun
their travels. The letter stated that
their lato roaster had of ten 'expressed
hie purposo of leaving them their free
dom when he should pass away. He
had left no will and since his death the
two had fallen Into the hands of his
nephew, a despotic, violent young
drunkard of Uie name of Biggs.
Samson was bo moved by their story
that ho hitched up his horses and put
somo hay In the wagon box and made
off with tho fugitives up the road to
tho north in the night. When daylight
JJ i yf'vvsv Jill "Jf tfhrfi

came he covered them with hay. About
eight o'clock he came tn a frame house
and barn, the latter being of unusual
size for that time nnd country. Above
the door of the burn was a board
which boro tho stenciled legend:
"John Pensley, Orwell Farm."
As Samson drew near tho house ho
observed a man working on the roof
of a woodshed. Something familiar In
his look held the cyo of the New Salem
man. In hnlf a moment he recognized
the fnco of Henry Brlmstcnd. It was
now a cheerful face. Brlmstcnd cume
down from the luddcr uud they feliool:
hands.
"Good land o' Goshen I How did you
get here?" Samson asked. Brlmstead
answered :
"Through tho help of a feller that
looks llko you an' the grit of a pair o'
horses. Come down this rond early In
September on my way to the land o'
plenty. Found Pensley here. Couldn't
help it, Suw his name on the barn.
Used to go to school with him In Or
well. He offered to sell mo somo land
with a house on It nn' trust me for his
pay. I liked the looks o' tho country
nnd ao I didn't go no further. I was
goln' to write you n letter, but I hain't
got around to It yet. Ain't forgot wnat
yon dono for us, I can tell yo that."
"Well, this look better than the
winrl plnlns a lot better and ftm
look better than the ilea fanner bnclc
In York state. How aro tho chil
dren?" "Fat an' linppy nn well dressed.
Mrs. Peasley has been a mother to
'em an' her sister is goln' to bo a wife
to me." Ho came close to Samson and
added In n confidential tono: "Say, If
I was any happier I'd be scalrt. I'm
llko I was when I got over tho tooth
acheso scalrt for fear It would come
buck I wns kind o' miserable."
Mr. Pensley came out of the door.
He wns n big, full-bearded, Jovial man.
"I've got n small load o' hay for
you," said Samson.
"I was expecting it, though I sup
posed 'twould be wnlkln' In tho dark
o night," Peasley answered. "Drlvo lu
on tho burn lloor."
When Snmson hnd driven Into tbe
bnrn its doors were closed and tho ne
groes were called from their place ot
hiding. Samson writes:
"I nevor renllzed what a blessing It
Is to bo free until I snw that scarrd
man and woman crawling out from un
der the dusty liny and shaking them
selves like a pnlr of dogs. The weath
er was not cold or I guess they would
have been frozen. They knelt togeth
er on tho barn floor and the woman
prayed for God's protection through
tho day. Peasley brought food for
them and stowed them uwny on the
top of his haymow with n pnlr of buf
falo skins. I suppose they got somo
sleep there. I went Into the house to
brenkfnst nnd while I nte Brlmstead
told me nbout his trip. Ills children
were there. They looked clean ami
decent. He lived In n log cabin a little
further up the road. Mrs. Peasley's
sister waited on me. Site is n fut nnd
cheerful looking lndy, very light com
plected. Her hair is retl llko tomato
ketchup. Looks to me a likely, stout
armed, good-henrted woman who can
do n lot of hard work. She'can see n
Joke mid has an answer handy every
time."
For dctnlls of the remainder of the
historic visit of Samson Trnylor to the
home of John Peasley we nre Indebted
to a letter from John to his brother
Charles, dated February 21, 1832. In
this he snys:
"We had gone out to tho barn nnd
Brlmstead and I were helping Mr.
Trnylor hitch up his horses. All of n
sudden two men came riding up tho
road nt n fast trot und turned in and
coino straight toward us and pulled up
by tho wagon. One of them wns a
slim, red-checked young feller nbout
tweuty-threo years old. He wore top
boots and spurs and a broad-brimmed
black bat and gloves and a fur waist
coat and purty linen. He loked at the
tires of tho wagon and said: 'That's
the one we've followed.
" "Which o' you is Sumson Traylor?'
he asked.
"'I am,' said Trnylor.
"The young feller Jumped off his
horse and tied him to Uio fence. Then
he went up to Trnylor and snld :
' 'What did you do with my niggers,
you dirty sucker?
"Men from Missouri hated the Illi
nois folks them days and culled 'em
Suckers.
" 'Hnln't you a little reckless, young
feller?' Traylor said, as cool as a cu
cumber. He stood up nigh the barn
door, which Brlmstead had closed
after we backed the wngon out.
"The young feller stepped close to
the New Salem man nnd raised his
whip for a blow. Quick as llghtnlu'
Traylor grabbed him and threw blui
ag'ln tho barn door, keewhackl He
hit so hard tho boards bent and the
whole burn roared and trembled. The
other feller tried to get his pistol out
of Its holster, but Brlmstead, who
stood beside him, grabbed it, and I
got his hoss by the bits and wo both
held on. The young feller lay on the
ground sbokln' us If he had the ague.
Ye never see a man so spylt In a sec
ond. Trnylor picked him up. .Ills right
arm was broke and his face and shoul
dor bruised somer Ye'd n thought a
steam engyne hud blowcd up while he
was puttln' wood In It. Ho was kind
o limp and the mad had leaked out o'
him.
" 'I reckon I better find a doctor,' he
says.
"'Yon get Into my wngon nnd I'll
take yo to a good one,' says Trnylor.
"Just then Stephen Nuckles, the cir
cuit minister, rode In with the big
bloodhound thnt follcrs him around.
"The other slaver had got off hie
hoss In the scrimmage. Traylor start
ed for him. The sluver begun to back
away and suddenly broke Into n run.
The big dog took nfter him with a kind
of n lion roar. Wo all began yelling
nt.the dog. We mado more nolso thnn
you'd hour ut the end of a hoss race.
It scalrt tho young feller. Ho put on
more stenm nnd went up the ladder to
the roof of the woodshed like a chased
wensel. Tho dog stood bnrkln' ns If he
had treed a bear. Traylor grubbed the
ladder nnd pulled It down.
" 'You stny there till I get awny an'
you'll bo safe,' said he.
"Tho man looked down nnd swore
nnd shook his list and threatened us
with tho law.
"Mr. Nuckles rode close to tho wood
shed nnd looked up at him.
'"My brother, I fenr you be not a
Christian,' he said.
"Ho swore ot the minister. That
settled him. 'I reckon ho better etny
tluir till he gits n little o' God's graco
In his soul,' says tho minister,
"Then ho snys to tho dog: "Ponto,
you keep Mm right thor.'
Tho dog appenred to understand,
what was expected of him.
