Cleveland, O.—"Horatius at the]

Hanley of Cleveland, chaplain of a reg
iment In France. According to stories
drifting back from the front, the chap
lain was wounded while holding a [

is related here by friends of the for*
iuer priest, a captain and a few sol
diers were detailed to hold the bridge
against heavy odds. The captain said
It couldn't be done without more mea
"Why, I can hold that bridge with a
club," Hanley Is said to have declared.
"Then do It," the captain answered j
as he hurried off for re-enforcements.!
The soldiers. Inspired by the action
of the chaplain, rallied around him and
held the contested bridge until the j
captain reiu^-ned with more men and I
made the bridge safe.

Sally Dunkelbeix. about his own age, but
socially of a class above the Bayneses.
and Is fascinated by the pretty face
and flne clothes.
CHAPTER II--Barton meets Roving
Kate, known In the neighborhood as the
"Silent Woman." Amos Qrlmshaw, young .
son of the richest man In the township. !
Is a visitor at the Baynes home, and <
Roving Kate tells the fortunes of the two ;
boys, predicting a bright future for Bar- i
ton and death on the gallows for Amos, j
Reproved for an act of boyish mischief
Barton runs away. Intending to make his
home with the Dunkelbergs. He reaches
the village of Canton and falls Into a
sleep of exhaustion on a porch. There
he is found by Silas Wright, Jr.. promi
nent man in public affairs, who. knowing
Peabody Baynes, takes Barton home af
ter buying him new clothes.
CHAPTER in—Barton and his uncle
and aunt visit Canton and bear Silas
Wright read a sermon.
CHAPTER TV—Silas Wright evinces
much Interest In Barton, and sends a box
Of books and magazines to the Baynes
home. The election of Silas Wright to
the United States senate Is announced.
CHAPTER V-When Barton la twelve
years old he bwomes aware of the ex
istence of a wonderful and mysterious
power known as "Money." and learnB
how. through his possession of that won
derful thing Qrlmshaw is the most power
ful and greatly dreaded man in the com
munity, most of tho settlers being In his
debt. After a visit to the Baynes home
Mr. Wright leaves a note In a sealed en
velope. which Barton Is to read on the
first night when he leaves home to at
tend school.
I observed* with satisfaction that
the village boys did not make fun
of me when I passed them as they did
when I wote the petticoat trousers.
Mr. and Mrs. Wright came along with
the crowd, by and by, and Colonel
Medad Moody. We had supper with
the Senator on the 6eat with us. He
and my uncle began to talk about the
tightness of money and the banking
laws and I remember a remark of
my uncle, for there was that in his
tone which I could never forget:
"We poor people are trusting you
to look out for us—we poor people
are trusting you to see that we get
treated fair. We're havin' a hard
time."
"I'm Not Afraid of Him."
My uncle told him about the note
and the visit of Mr. Grimshaw and of
his threat* and upbraidlngs.
"Did he say that in Bart's hearing?"
asked the Senator.
"Ayes t—right out plain."
"Too bad! I'm going to tell you
frankly, Baynes, that the best thing
I know about you is your conduct to
ward this boy. I like It. The next
best thing is the fact that you signed
the note. It was bad business but
it was good Christian conduct to help
your friend. Don't regret it. You
were poor and of an age when the
boy's pranks were troublesome to both
of you, but you took him in. I'll
lend .you the interest and try to get
another holder for the mortgage on
one condition. You must let me at
tend to Bart's schooling. I want to
be boss about that. We have a great
schoolmaster in Canton and when Bart
is a little older I want him to go
there to school. I'll try to find him
a place where he can work for his
board."
"We'll miss Bart but we'll be tickled
to death—there's no two ways about
that," said Uncle Peabody.
The Senator tested my arithmetic
and grammar and geography as we
rode along in the darkness and said
by and by:
"You'll have to work hard, Bart.
You'll have to take your book into
the field as I did. After every row
of corn I learned a rule of syntax or
arithmetic or a fact in geography while
I restecL-and ms th.0u2.ht find .memory
comiOKT MNcroswivtHimi rtvwj uortua
took' holt! "}>T it as I plied the hoe. 1
dou't want you to stop the reading,
but from now on you must spend half
of every evening on your lessons."
As 1 was going to bed the Senator
called me to htm and said:
"I shall be gone when you are up
In the morning. It may be a long,
time before I see you; I shall leave
something for you In a sealed envel
ope with your name on It. You are
not to open the envelope until you
go away to school. I know how you
will feci that first day. When night
falls yen will think of your aunt and
uncle and be very tbnely. When you
go to your room for the night I want <
you to sit down all by yourself and
open the envelope and read what I
shall write. They will be. I think, the
most Impressive words you ever read.
You will think them over but you
will not understand them for a long
time. Ask every wise man you meet
to explain them to you, for all your1
happiness will depend upon your un
derstanding of those few words In the
envelope."
In the morning Aunt Deel put it
In my hands.
"I wonder what In the world he
wrote there—ayes!" said she. "We
must keep It careful—ayes!—I'll put
It In my trunk an' give It to ye when
ye go to Canton to school."
"Has Mr. Wright gone?" I aeked
rather sadly.
"Ayes! Land o' mercy! He went
away long before daylight with a lot
o' jerked meat in a pack basket—
ayes! Yer uncle Is goin' down to the
village to see 'bout the mortgage this
afternoon, ayes!"
It was a Saturday and I spent Its
hours cording wood In the shed, paus
ing now and then lor a look into
my grammar.
What a day it was!—the first of
many like it. I never think of those
days without saying to myself: "What
u God's blessing a man like Silas
Wright can be in the community In
which his heart and soul are as an
open book!"
as rue evening came on i iw» «
long look at my cords. The shed was
nearly half fall of them. Four rules
of syntax, also, had been carefully
stored away In my brain. I said
them over as I hurried down into the
pasture with old Siiep and brought in j
the cows. 1 got through milking just |
as Uncle I'eabody came. I saw with I
joy that his face was cheerful.
"Yip!" he shouted as he stopped his
team at the barn door, where Aunt
Deel and I were standing. "We alta't
got ranch to worry about now. I've
got the Interest money right here in
my pocket."
We unhitched and went In to sup
per. 1 was hoping that Aunt Deel
would speak of my work but she
seemed not to think of It.
I went out on the porch and stood
looking down with a sad countenance. I
Aunt Deel followed rse.
"W'y, Hart!" she exclaimed, "you're
too tired to eat—ayes! Be ye sick?"
I shook my head.
"I'eabody." she called, "this boy has
worked like a beaver every minute
since yon left—ayes he has! I never
see anything to beat It—never! I
want you to come right out Into the
wood-shed an' see what he's done—
this minute—ayes!"
I followed them Into the shed.
"W'y of all things!" my uncle ex
claimed. "He's worked like a nailer,
ain't he?"
There were tears in his eyes when
he took my hand in his rough palm
and squeezed it and said:
"Sometimes I wish ye was little
again so I could take ye up in my
arms an' kiss ye Just as I used to.
Horace Dunkelberg says that you're
the best-lookin' boy he ever see."
I repeated the rules I had learned
as we went to the table.
"I'm goin' to be like Silas Wright if
I can," I addtd.
"That's the idee!" said Uncle Pea
body. "You keep on as you've start
ed an' everybody'U milk into your I
pail."
I kept on—not with the vigor of ;
that first dry with its new Inspiration
—but with growing strength and effec
tiveness. Nights and mornings and
Saturdays I worked with a will and
my book in my pocket or at the side
the field and was, I know, a help
of some value on the farm. My schol
arship improved rapidly and that year
t went about as far as I could hope
to go in the little school at Leonard's i
Corners.
"I wouldn't wonder If ol' Kate was
right about our boy," said Aunt Deel !
one day when she saw me with my
book in the field. <
I began to know than that ol' Kate
had somehow been at work In my
soul—subconsciously as I would now i
t>ut it. I was trying to put truth <
Into the prophecy. As I look at the 1
whole matter these days I can see

walked away to the simile of a tree
while the hired man and I went on
with the hoeing. I could hear the
harsh voice of the money-lender
speaking in loud and angry tones and
presently he went away.
"What's ihe rip?" I asked as my
uncle returned looking very sober.
"We won't talk about It now," he
answered.
In the candle-light of the evening
T'nele I'eabody said:
"Grimshaw has demanded his mort
gage money an' he wants It in gold
coin. We'll have to git It eome way,
I dunno how."
"W'y of all things!" my aunt ex
claimed. "How are we goln' to git
all that money—these hard time?.?—
ayes! I'd like to know?"
"Well, I can't tell ye." said Undo
Peabody. "I guess he can't forgive
as for savin' Rodnev Barnes."
"What did he say?" I asked.
"Why, he says we hadn't no busi
ness to hire a man to help us. He
says you an' me ought to do all the
work here. He thinks 1 ought to took
you out o' school long ago."
"I can stay out o' school and keep
on with my lessons," I said.
.M'l mi jneusi' nun. ijt- nun ui(i j
when lie see ye with u book in yer
hand out there in the corn-field."
What were we to do nuw? I spent
the first sad night of ray life undolnj
the plans which hud been so dear to
me but not so dear as my aunt and
uncle. I decided to give all my life i
and strength to the saving of the
farm. I would still try to be great,
but not as great as the Senator.
One day in December of that year,
I had rny first trial in the full respon
sibility of man's work. I was allowed
to load and harness and hitch up and
go to the ndll without assistance. My
uncle and Purvis, our hired man, were
busy with the chopping and we were
out of flour nnd meal. It took a lot
of them to keep the axes going. So
I filled two sacks with corn and two
with wheat and put them into the
box wag»n, for the ground was bare,
and hitched up my horses nnd set out.
I reached the mill safely and be
fore the grain was ground the earth
and the sky above were white with
snow driving down in a cold, stiff
wind out of the ncfrthwest. I loaded
my grists and covered them with a
blanket nnd hurried away. The snow
came so fast that It almost blinded
me. There were times when I could
scarcely see the road or the horses.
The wind came colder and soon It
was hard work to hold the reins and
keep my hands from freezing.
Suddenly the wheels began jumping
over rocks. The horses were in the
ditch. I knew what was the matter,
for my eyes had been filling with snow
and I had had to brush them often. Of
course the team had suffered In a like
manner. Before I could stop I heard
the crack of a felly and a front wheel
iropped to Its hub. I checked the
horses and jumped out and went to
their heads nnd cleared their eyes. The
snow was up to my knees then.
How the thought of that broken
svheel smote me! It was our only
heavy wagon, and we having to pay
:he mortgage! What would my uncle
say? The query brought tears to my
?ves.
I unhitched and led my horses up
nto the cover of the pines. How grate
ful It seemed, for the wind was slack
jelow but howling In the treetops! I
{new that I was four miles from home
md knew not how I was to get there.
Chilled to the bone, I gathered some
5itch pine and soon had a fire going
vlth my flint and tinder. I knew that
[ could mount one of the horses and
ead the other and reach home prob
ibly. But there was the grist. We
leeded that; I knew that we should
lave to go hungry without the grist.
:t would get wet from above and be
ow If I tried to carry It on the back
>f a horse. I wanned myself by the
ire and hitched my team near It so as
:o thaw the frost out of their forelocks
md eyebrows. I felt In my coat pock
its and found a handful of nails—
■verybody carried nails In one pocket
n those days—and I remember that
ny uncle's pockets were ji museum of
doits ana nuts ana screws 'oaa min
ers.
. The Idea occurred to me .'int I vould
make a kind of sled which was called
a Jnmper.
So I got my ax out of the wagon
and soon found a couple of small trees
with the right crook for the forward
end of a runner, and cut them and
hewed their bottoms as smoothly as
I could. Then I made notches In thenj
near the top of their crooks and fitted
a stout stick Into the notches and se
cured it with nails driven by the ax
head. Thus I got a hold for my evener.
That done, I chopped and hewed an
arch to cross the middle of the run
ners and hold them apart and used j
all my nails to secure and brace It.
I got the two boards which were fas
tened together and constituted my
wagon seat and laid them over the
arch and front brace. How to make
them fast was my worst problem. I
succeeded In splitting a green stick |
to hold the bolt of the evener just un
der Its head while I heated Its lower
end In the fire and kept Its head cool
with snow. With this I burnt a hole
In the end of each board and fastened
them to the front brace with withes of
inoosewood.
xi rrao laic xu iuc uuJ auu luctc »>ao
no time for the slow process of burn
ing more holes, so I notched the other
ends of the boards and lashed them to
the rear brace with a length of my
reins. Then I retempered my bolt and
bronght up the grist _jind chain and
fastened the latter between the boards
in the middle of the front brace,
hitched my team to the chain and set
out again, sitting on the bags.
It was pitch dark and the horses
wading to their bellies and the snow
coming faster when we turned into
Rattleroad. Soon I heard a loud lial
loo and knew that It was the voice of
Uncle Peabody. He had started out
to meet me in the storm and Shep was
with him.
"Thank God I've found ye!" he
shouted. "I'm blind and tired out and
I couldn't keep a lantern go In' to save
me. Are ye froze?"
"I'm all right, but these horses are
awful tired. Had to let 'em rest every
few minutes."
I told hira about the wagon—and
how It relieved me to hear him say:
"As long as you're ail right, boy, I
uln't goin' to worry 'bout the oP wag
an—not a bit. Where'd ye git ycr
lumper?"
"Made It with the ax and some
nails," I answered.
After we got to the barn door at last
he went to the house and lighted his
lantern and came back with it wrapped
in a blanket and Aunt Deel catne v 1th
