When they act out In the mornlnc Samson wn wont to say to the little lad, who generally aat liealde hlnj : "Well, my toy. what' tha good word thla mornlngT" Whereupon Jo would ay. parrot like: "God help ua all and make Ilia fare to shine apon aa." "Well maid r" hla father would an wer, and so the day'e Journey heitan. Often, near Ita end. they came to aom lonely farmhouse. Always Sam on would atop and fo to the door to ask about tha roads, followed by llttje Joe and Betsey with secret hoiea. One of then hopes waa related ta rookie and maple sugar and buttered bread and had been cherlahed alnro an hour of good fortuna early In the trip and enronraced by aundry good hearted women along tha road. An other waa the hope of aeelng baby mainly. II ahnnld ba aald, tha hop f Betsey. Joe'a In'erest waa merely n erha of bera.

Hllll, not knowing what might happen, he slwsy took a look at ary baby. The children were lifted out of the wagon to atretrh tbalr lega at aluugba and houaea. They wera aura to ha close behind the lega af their father when he IikmI at a atranger's door. Then, the night being near, they were Iwaya Invited to pat thalr horses In the barn and tarry until nett morn; Ing Tt waa due In part to the wlat fill farea of the little rhlldran a fact unsuspected by thetr parenta. What motherly heart could renin t the silent appeal of children'! farea or fall to nnderaiand ItT Tlioea ware inemorabla night for Sarah and Joe aad lletsev. In letter to her brother ta woman raid : "Tog don't know bow good It rem to are woman and talk to her, and we talked and talked until midnight, after all the real aver asleep.

Mamaon played for them and kapt them laughing with hla atorlea until bedtime They wouldn't take a rent and gave ua a doaen rgga In a baaket and plei- of vanlaon whea we went away. On warm, bright day In tho wind country they came to crude, half finished, frame house at the edge of wide clearing Thw Mtnd lay In drifts on one aide of the Mad. It had evidently moved In the last wind. A Sickly vegetation covered the Held. A ragged, barefooted man and three scrawny, III dud children stood In the dooryard. It waa noontime. A mon grel dog, with bit of the hound In him, came bounding and barking to ward the wagon and pitched upon Ha mho aid quickly got the worat of It Sam ho, after much experience. In self-defense, had learned that tha beat way out of aurh trouble waa to Belie a leg and hang on. Thla ha did. The mongrel began to yelp. Bsm aon lifted both doga by the backa of their neefca, broke tha hold of Sambo and toaaed aside tha mongrel, who ran away whining. "That reminded ma of a bull that tackled a man over In Vermont," ha aid. "The man had a club In hla hand, lie dodged and grabbed tha bull'a tall and heat him all over tho lot. Aa the bull roared, the man hol lared: 'I'd Ilka to know who began thla fuaa anyway.' " Tha atranger laughed. "la that your houaaT" Bamsou said. Tha man stepped nearer and an wared In a low, confidential tuna: "Hay, mlater, this la a combination poorhouae and Idiot aayluin. I am tha Idiot. Thase ara Iba poor." Ha pointed to tha children. "Tou don't talk Ilka an Idiot," aald Samson. Tha man looked around and loaned vac tha wheal aa If about ta Impart a Bee ret. "Hay, I'll tall y," ha aald la a law ton. "A raal, first-class Idiot aever do a. Tou aught ta aea my actios M KU land la aa Indlcatloa that yau'r right," Saatsoo laughed. "It prove It," tha traoger wblav red. r .J r "Have you any water here?" 8am aon asked. The stranger leaned nrarer and aald In hla moat confidential tone. "Say, mlater, It'a about the beat In tha United Statea. Right over yonder In the edge o' the wood aprlng cold a Ice Simon pure water. 'Hout the only thing thla land'll raise la water." "Tills land look, to me about as valuable aa ao much sheet llghtnln' and I guesa It ran more Just about a quick," said Samson. The at ra niter answered In low tone: "Say, I'll tell ye, It'a a wild row don't stand still long 'nough to give ye time to git anything out of It. I've tolled and prayed, but It'a hard to get much out of It." "fraying won't thla land any good." Samson anawered. "What It needs la manure and plenty of It, You can't raise anything here but fleas. It Isn't decent to expect Ood to help run flea farm. Ha knowa too much for that, and If you keep It up Hell lose all respect for ya. If you were to buy another farm and bring It here and put It down on Dfx' Elijah Brimatead Waa a Fnand My Fthr." top it' this one, you could probably make living. I wouldn't like to live where the wind could dig my pota toes." Again the stranger leaned toward Samson ami said In a half-whisper: "Say, mister, I wouldn't want you to mention It. hut talkin' o' fleas. I'm like a dog with mo many of 'em that he don't have time to eat. Some body hits pit to nt him or he'll die. You see. I traded my fann over In Vermont for five hundred acre o" thla sheet llghtnln', unsighted an' un seen. We waa all craty to go weat an' here we are. If It wasnt for th deer an' the fish I gueaa we'd 'a' rarved to death long ago." "Wher did ya rorae flora T" "Orwell. Vermont." "What' yar DamaT" "Henry Brimatead," tba atraafar whispered. "Son of Elijah Brimatead T "Y. air." 8amaon took hla hand and ahook It warmly. "Well, I declara!" ha ex claimed. "Elijah Rrlmatead waa a friend o' my father." "Who are youT" Hrlmatead asked. "I'm on o' the Traylora a' Vrgeu nea." "My father used to buy rattl of Henry Tray lor." v "Henry waa my father. Haven't you let 'em know about your .bad luck?" Tha man resumed hla Ion of con fidence. "Say. I'll tell ya." ha an awered. "A nVn that 'a aa big a fool aa I am ought not to advertise It A brain that haa treated Ita owner a ahaiueful aa mine haa treated in hould he compelled to do Ita own thluktn' er die. I've Invented loin things that may Bell. , iv been bop In' my luck would turn." "It'll turn when you turn It," Ham Bon assured him. Brlinatead leaned cloaa to Samaou't ear and aald In a tuna ararcely aud ible: "My brother Kouert baa hi awn Idiot aayluin. It'a a raal handaoioa one an' ha haa mad it pay, but I wouldn't aap with him." Samaon emlled. rtmtmbarlng that Robert bad a liquor Blur. "Look her. Henry Brimatead, wa'r hungry," ba aald. "If ya furnish tha water, wall klnulah arouud for bread and gla ya aa good a dinner aa ya aar had la yar Ufa." Ifenry tiMik the horae to hla ham and watered and fed them. Then ha brought two palls of water from th spring. Meanwhile Samson started a fire In a grove of amall poplar by the roadside and began broiling veni son, and Sarah got out the bread hoard and the flour and the rolling pin and the lesxt. As ah waited for the water she called the three at range children to her aide. The oldest waa girl of ten, with face uncommonly refined and attractive. In spite fit her thremlbare clothes, sbe had a neal and cleimly look and gentle man ners. The youngeit waa a hoy of four. They were a pathetic trio. "Where's your mother?" Sarah sked of the ten year-old girl, "lNHd. IHed when my little brother was born." "Who takes care of you?" "father and-Cod. Father say a Ood does most of It." "Ob dear!" Sarah e tela lined, with a look of pity. They had good dinner of freah biscuits and honey and venison and eggs and tea. While they were eating Samson told HrlniHtead of the land of plenty. After dinner, while ItrlmMead waa bringing the team, one of hla chil dren, the blonde, pale, tattered llttla girl of aix, climlied Into the wagon seat and ant holding a small rag doll, which Sarah had given her. When they were ready to go ah stubbornly refused to get down. "I'm goln" away," she aald. "I'm goln' aw-a-ay off to find my mother. I don't like this place. There ain't no Santa Claus here. I'm goln' away." She clung to the wagon aeat and cried loudly when her father took her down. "Ain't that enough to break a man'a heart?" he said with a sorrowful look. Then Samson turned to Brimatead and asked: "Look here, Henry Brimatead. are you a drinking man? Honor bright now." "Never drink a thing but water and tea." "Io you know anybody who'll glv y anything for what you own hereT" "There'a man In the neit town who offered me thre hundred and fifty dollar for my Interest." "0me along with ua and get the money If you can. I'll help ye fit up and go where ye can earn a liv ing" "I'd Ilk to. but my horse la lam and I can't leave the children." "I'ut 'em right In thla wagon and come on. If there'a a livery In the place. I'll send ye home." So the children rode In the wagon and Samson and Brimatead walked, while Sarah drove the team to th next village. There the good woman bought new clothea for the whole Rrlmatead family and Brimatead aold his Interest In tlve aand plalna and bought a good pair of horses, with harness and some cloth for a wagon cover, and had fifty dollara In hla lorket and a new look In his fnce. He put hla children on the backs of the horsea and led them to hla old home, with a sack of provisions on his shoulder. He was to take the track of the Traylora next day and begin hla Journey to the shore of the Sangamon. They got Into a had swale that afternoon and Samson had to rut aom corduroy to moke a footing for team and wagon and do much prying with the end of a heavy pole under the front axle. By and by the horses pulled them nut. "When ol' Colonel bends hla neck things have to move, even if he la up to hla belly In the mud," aald Sam si mi. Aa the day waned they came to a river In the deep woods. It wsa an exquisite bit of forest with th hells of a hermit thrush ringing In one of Ita towers. Their rail and the low song of the river were the only sounds In the alienee. The glow of the setting sun which lighted the western windows of the forest had a color like that of the music golden. Long shafts of It fell through th tree colutana upon th road bare nd thei. Our wary travelers stopped ou th rude plank bridge that crossed th river. Odors of balsam and plu and tamarack rain In a light, cool braes up th river valley. "I gueaa we'll slop at this taveru till tomorrow," said Samsou. Jo waa asleep and they laid hi in ou th blankets until supper waa ready. Soon after auper Snmi.ui shut a deer which had waded luto the rapida. Fortunately, It made th opposite ah or before It fell. All hand spent that evening dressing the deer mid Jerking the best of the meat Thla thy did by ' rutting tha meat Into atripa about the size of a mau'a hand and salting and laying tt on a rack, aom two feet above a alow fire, and covering It with green houtfh. The heat and amok dried the meat In th course of two or three hours sud gave It a fin flavor. Delicious be yond any kind of meat is veunon treated In this manner. If kept dry. It will retain Its flavor and It sweet ness for a month or more. Tbey set out rather late next morn ing. As usual, Jo Hood by th head of Colonel while th latter lapped brown sugar from th timid palm of th boy. Then th horae waa wont to touch th fac of Joa with his big. hairy lips a a tribute t his generos Itg. Colonel bad aeeuied to acquire a singular attachment for th boy and tha dog, whll pt dlstruatad both of tbeiu. H had nwr a mo meat's hthrur. anyhow, being always busy with hla work ar the rim. A few break la th pack basket had been repaired with greeo withe. It rakd with Its load of Jorked veal Ma wha pat aboard. Farther on the hoy got a sore throat Sarah bound a slice of pork around It anil Samson built a ramp by th roadside. In widen, after a good fir was started, they gave him a hemlock aweat. This they did by steeping hemlock In palls of InH water and. while the put lent aat In a chair by the fireside, a blanket was spread about him and pinned clone to hi neck. I niler the blanket they put the pulls of stcHlnlng hemlock tea. After his sweat and day and night In bed, with a warm fire burning in front of the shnnty, Joe was able to resume his seat In the way on. They aimke of the Briinstends and thought It slruiiKv that they hud not come long. On the twenty ninth day after their Journey hcimn thpy came In sight of the beautiful green valley of the Mo hawk. As they looked from the hills they saw the roof of the forest dip ping down. to the river shores and at retching far to the east and west and broken, here and there, by amall Hearings. Soon they rould see the aiuoke and spires of the thriving vil lage of t'tli-a. CHAFTb-R II. W ha rain I Brief Account ef Sundry Curious Character Mat on th Read. At I'tica they bought provision ad a tin trumpet for Joe, and a doll with real porcelain face for Betsey, nd turned Into the great main thor oughfare of the North leading eastward to Boston and westward to a shore of the midland seas. This road was once the great trail of the Iroquois, by them called the Long House, he cause It bad reached from the Hudxon to Lake Krie, and In their day had been well roofed with foliage. Soon they eame In view of the famous Krle canal, hard hy the road. Through It the grain of the Far West had Just begun moving eastward In a tide that waa flowing from Aarll to December. Rig barges, drawn by mules and hnrsea on Ita shore, were cutting the atlll waters of the canal. They stopped and looked at the barge and the long tow ropea and the tug ging animals. 'There Is a real artificial river, hundreds o' miles long, hand mad of the best material, water tight, no anaga or rocks or other Imperfections, durability guaranteed." aald Samson. "It haa made the name of DeWItt Clinton known everywhere." "I wonder what next!" Sarah ex claimed. They met many teams and psssed other mover going west, and some prosperous farms on rosd wider nd smoother than SDy they had trav eled. They ratified that night, cloa by the river, with a Connecticut fam ily on Its wsy to Ohio with a great load of household furniture on on wagon and seven children In another. So they fared along through Canan dalgua and am the Genesee to the village of Rochester and on through Lew I st oti and up the Niagara river to the falls, and ramped where they could aee the great water flood and hear Ita muffled thunder. When near ln the latter they overtook a family of poor Irish emigrants, of tha name of Flanagan, who shared their ramp alte at the falls. The Flanagans were on their way to Michigan and had come from the old country three years before and settled In Broome county. New Tork. They, too, wer on their way to a land of better prom ise. Among them was a rugged, freckled, red headed lad. well along In his teena. of the name of Dennis, who wore a tall heaver hat, tilted saucily on one aide of his head, and a nigged blue coat with brass buttons, aa he walked beside the oxen, whip In hand, with tronsers tucked in the tops of hla big cowhide boot. There em also a handxnme young man In bis party n the name of John Mc Vell. who wore a ruffled ahlrt and iillow-tall coat, now much soiled by ie tourney. He listened to Samson's lo ini of the Sungamvn country and that he thought h would go inre. (To be Continued) CINCINNATI MARKETS. Hay and Grain. Corn No. 2 whit (Vl'diiTc. No. S white tM'TtLV.

UNEXPECTED IS Ttf HAPPEN Funds for the Proposed $20,000,000 Structure Already Ar Being Raised nd Congress Has Provided Sit on the Mall. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Wuxbingtoii. I oes the unexpected hiippeii In Wiixhltigton often. t than It hiipieiis elsewhere In these good Uni ted States' Sometimes It so seems, hut the cluinces are that In thla city, the cuplliil of the country, there Is a greater cluincc than elsewhere t hut a merely suggested project more fre quently comes Into Ita own, because what might be culled the spirit nf the capital of the republic enters Into the piopoMil for something worthy to be done. Two jeiirs ugo. Just after I had re turned from tichl service In France, ICu)H-rt Hughes, the novelist, came to me iiml asked me for sentiment's sake, nd for the sake of the news, to write story concerning the plun for an Immense Victory building w hich It was proKHed to erect in Washington In memory of the dead of the American armies. 1 wrote the article, told of the heart Interest of Mrs. Henry K. IMinock of WuMhlngtiMi In the proposed plun, told of the great sum nf money which it was proposed to mine, gave something of an outline of the architectural plana for the building itself, hut wrote It believing that the plun was too am bitious ever to see accomplishment, even In this city of deeds. Now It Is announced that an Im mense Victory building, a memorial to the dead of all our wars, is an as sured fact, and that the breaking of the ground for the $20,OU),0(IU structure will be the work of the coming autumn. Carrying Out Washington's Ideas. I Hit of virtually baseless stories sometimes good can spring. For the better part of a century there have been Intermittent tales printed with every earmark of truthfulness that George Washington left a large sum of money for the establishment of an educational Institution in the capital of the republic, and that this tunuey, hav ing never been Used, still was In the treasury of the United States, and that It now was purposed to put It to this good use or to that good use in keep ing with the Nplrit of the educational intention of the great giver. It is ierfectly true that Washington did In his will make a provision for the eatuhilshmeut of some kind of an ed ucational institution which waa to be located in the capital of the country. The funds set aside were in the form of bonds of some kind or other, but either because the bonds proved to he of little or no value, or because the provision In the will was not clear enough, the small amount of money provided never was available, and nev er has been available. Now In a w uy the great victory me morial building which Is to lie erected In Washington at a cost of $2O,(lUO,0Uu will he the result of the provision In George Washington's will for the es tablishment of an educational Institu tion in the capital of the country. Mrs. I Hillock, who hy the w ay Is a sister of the lute William L Whitney, secretary of the navy In Grover Cleveland's cab inet, read the Washington will and be lieved that an Institution of the kind which Is suggested would be in entire keeping with the desire of the Father of Ilia country. Mrs. IMmock knew there was no money to be secured from the Washington source, but she thought that the apirit was as good as the cash, and so ahe went ahead with her work, and the word today la that success Is to come. StaUs Supplying Money. Word has come to Wsshlngton that one state of the Union haa appropri ated $100.(iiii in Ita own behalf fur tha project, and that oilier states are ex pected to follow suit. Committees have beeu formed In all states of the Union for the purpose of raising funds. There already la a considerable sum In the treasury und congress has provid ed a site for the memorial victory structure on the Mull at Seventh and U streets. between IVnnsylvanla avenue and the I'otomac river. In this huge structure, architectural plana for which are already drawn, the American Legion and all other patri otic organization will be given quar ters. It la to be a me rial to the dead of all wars, but the building will be wade aerviceuhle In a hundred dif ferent ways as the meeting place of organizations of a apeclticitlly iiatrlotlc kiud. On the graund floor there will be rooms act aside for the archives or rellca nf the Union's great struggles. The structure will commemorate the deeds of the tneu and womeu of 1770, as It will those of the men and women of 1917. Taking It all In all. this struc ture, barring the capltol of the United Htatea, will he the finest building In the city of Washington and, perhaps It la not too much to aay, one of tha realty commanding structures of tha country. Summer In Capital. Congress la rounding Into tha old unuuer stretch of Its work. It aawmi a bit curious to speak of tha mid summer season as about to opsn, hat early summer In Washington la irk midsummer anywhere else, and ao one takes, th liberty of departing front the literally seasonable truth. The senators ami representatives dot not work shirt sleeved, although there1 is not ii uiiiii in either house who daa not wih Hint he might violate thai convention to the extent of dropping, his mill Into the waste pncr basket,, ill these hot diiys of District of Col-I nnilibi went her. The new members of congress suffer inure under the beat Hum the old members. The veterans, are seasoned n more ways than nna. They have no illusions about tha' iHissihlllty of getting away enrly In a tnrltT bill year, mid neither have they' illusions concerning ihe possibility nf getting through the summer on nn or dinary sirlii wardrolie. They pre pare In ndvnui-e to dress for the occasion, and In Wasbliiuton the oc-t caslon frequently Is red hot. Some one bus snld that I Irt.OOO.mW Americans are waiting anxious-eyed and enger-eared to find out what the congress of the fulled States Is going fo do with the taxation problem. Th number of people concerned In thla Is exactly the number given, hut tt Is not to he taken for granted that babes In arms, boys of the "shining morning face" period of life, or girls of like age and like school occupation, or some millions of the adult Indifferent, rare anything about taxation legislation ; hut nevertheless every member of rontrress knows that his fellow citi zens are more Interested In this matter today than In anything else which la to come before the lawmakers. New Idea In Tariff Legislation. - Interest in the tariff hides its head In the presence of Interest In taxation. Some of the liemocrats say that tariff and taxation amount to the same thing, hut of course there Is the In stant Republican denial of this today Just as 'there has been Instant Re publican denial of It ever since the party waa formed. Part of the Republican majority In the house today Is seeking means to put Into effect at once the tariff pro visions of the new bill as they pasa congress. In other words. It Is the desire to set the tariff law working piecemeal If a way can be found to do It. This will he something new. The Idea Is that It takes a long while to pas a complete tariff measure, and that If approval can he secured for certain provisions of It before tba w hole measure becomes a law, it will be a giaid thing to put these provi sions Into immediate operation. How ever, this may or may not be done, and when one says thla absolutely on Illuminating thing he haa said all ha eiin say on the subject. Congress la Interested In the Grover Cleveland Itergdoll case today aa deeply as ever It was. This case ha tnken a sharp turn recently. Col. Thomas W. Miller, the alien property custodian, who saw high service in France and was given two or three decorations for gallantry, has charge today. In a sense, of the Bergdoll mat ter, for the colonel lias Issued a state ment as follows: G. C. Bargdoll's Property Seised. "At the personal direction of tho President of the United States, and in accordance wit the opinion of the attorney general, 1 will seize such propery lieloging to Grover Cleveland Bergdoll as haa been reported to the alien properly custisjlan as being hla ow n proierty, or in which he haa any interest whatsoever, whether owned mid administered personally by him or through power of attorney given to any member of his family. The Intention of the alien property custodian is to administer and operate property seised from Bergdoll as that of any other enemy's property held hy him, until cnugreas shall direct what disposition la to be made of this class of proierty now In the hands of the custodian. It has been held consistently by the writer of thla from the beginning that some means would be found to get Bergdoll'a person and now it aee ma that one of the means of getting bla person Is that of getting hla property. It Is believed that thla draft evader whom the commander of the American Legion declared to he "the one Boche that we want" soon will find himself tiennlleas In Germany, and that he may prefer prison here to peuury there. Antonio Stradivari Antonio Stradivari was born at Cremona, I.oinbanly, Italy, In 1944, and died In 17.TT, ninety-three year of age. Hi early violin was made like his master Atuatl's and algnod with hi mime. In 1070 be Drat began to sign his own Instruments with hla own name. Purlng the following twenty years he only made a few. The year IiUki was one ih transition In hla career, hut atlll he preserved the tradition of the Amatls school and hi violins of thla ierlod are commonly culled Stradlvarlua Amatls. Ills finest Instruments were constructed from 17(i(l to 1723; during the subsequent live years to 1730 the workmanship of t heni la not of so high an order; and In 17:, or even a little earlier, tha Impress of Stradivari la almost entire ly lost.
