"Tliey don't know Traylor. He's one of the best men In thin county." "I've beered he were he man an' rljrht powerful, liod-feiirtn' man." Mltl the minister. "Ile'g one of the best men that ever rame to thin country anil any one that wantg to try hia KtrenKth In wel come to; I don't," wild Abe. "Are you going over there?" "I were Ki'i' to warn 'em an' help "em ef I ealn." "Well, -to on. but don't tttlr 'em up." Abe cautioned bim. "In. n't suy a word about the ruhl. I'll be over there wilh aome other feller soon after pull down. We'll Just tell 'em It'a a he party come over, for a sjory-tellln'an' g rn-iaie. I reckon we'll have aotne fun. Hide on over and take aupper with 'em. They're worth knowing." In few minute the minister mounted hla horae and rode away fol lowed by hi big 4ug. "If I you I wouldn't ," aald Kerry. "Why not?" "It'll hurt trade. Let the reat of Traj lor' friend go over. There' enough of 'em." "We must all atnnd a one man for Imv and order." nld Abe. "If we don't there won't be any." Aa aixm a Abe bud had hi npcr lie went from house to Ionise and asked the men to come to hi store for a piece of Important business. When they hud come he told them wluit was In the wind. Soon after that hour Abe and Miilemoii Morri. and Alexander Kergiison, and Mnrtln Wild dell mid Hubert Johnson and .loshtui Miller and .lack Kelso it ml Samuel Hill mid John McNeil set out for the Traylor cabin. Samson greeted the party with a look of surprise. i "Have you come out to hung me?" ! he aked. I "No Just to hang around ye." anld j Abe. i "Thl time If a heart warniin'." 1 Jack Kelso averred. "We left our wives at home o flint we could pay our compliment to Mrs, Traylor without reserve, knowing you to he a man above Jealousy." "If what we call a he pnrty. ou the pnilrlea," said Ferguson. "Koi" one thing I wanted to see Abe and the minister have a rassle." The Iteverclid Stephen Nuckles atood In front of the door w ith Surah and Hurry antl the children. He was a fatuous wrestler. "I. caln't .tussle, like I used to could, but I be w llllii' to jrfve ye a try. Abe." aald the minister. "You'd better save your strength for of Satan," said Abe. "tio on. Abe," the other urged, "(live Mm a try." Abe modestly stepped forward. In the last year he bad prown less In cjined to that kind of fun. The men took hold of each other, collar and elbow. They parr!ed with their feet for nil Instant. Suddenly Abe's long right leg rniiglit Itself behind the left knee of the minister. It was the hip look a they culled It those days, once secured the stronger mini was nltnost sure to prevail and quickly. The sturdy circuit rider stood against It for a second until Abe sprang bis how. Then the heels of the former flew n ward and his lusty came down to the grass, lan k tlrst. "That a r done popped my wind bag," snid the minister as he got up. "'all In." said John McNeil and the others echoed It. "I call In Samson Traylor." said the minister. At last the thing which had long been a subject of talk and argument In the stores and houses of New Sa lem was about to come to pass n trial of strength and agility between the two great lion of Sangamon conn ty. Klther of them would have glen a month' work to avoid It. "Now we shall see which I the son of I'eletis mill which the son of Tele mon." Kelso shouted. "How shall we rassje?" Simmon asked. "I don't care,' aald Abe. "Hough ami tumble," Ferguson pro Is ised. Iloth men agreiil. Tliey bent low intently watching each other, their great hand outreachlng. They stood braced for a second and suddenly both sprang forward. Their shoulders came together with a thud. It was like two big bison bulls hurling their weight In the first shock of battle. For a breath each bore with all his strength and then closed with hi ad versa ry. Kiich had an under hold with one arm, the other hooked around a shoulder. Samson lifted Abe from his feet but the latter with tre mendous effort loosened the hold of tjie Veriiionter. .and regained hv. turf They atniggled aero- the doorysrd. the ground trembling beneath their feet. They went against the aide f the house, slinking It with the force of their Impact. Samson had broken the grip of oue of Abe hand ami now had bit feet la the air again but the young giant clung to hip and shoulder and wriggled back to bis foothold. Thoae lesser men were thrilled and a little frightened b the mighty tmggle. Knowing the atrengtb Suddenly the Oarkneaa Seemed to Fill With Movinj Figure." of the wrestlers they felt a fear of broken hones. Kadi hud torn a rent ill the coat of the oilier. If I hey kept on there was danger that both would lie stripped. The children had begun to cry. Sarah heeded the struggling men to Mop and they obeyed her. "If miy of veil fell.rs think that's fun joii can have my dce," said Ale "Samson, I declare jou elected tie stiotiL-est man In this county. Yo,i ve got tin' inns. , . ,,f a grizzly loar. I in glad to be ipiit o' e." "it ain't a fair election. Abe," Sinn son laughed. "If Joii were riisstiii-1 for the right jou could Hop me. Tins little hriisli as nothing. Your hca:i wasn't in it, and by thunder. A i.e. when it comes to bavin' fun I rath' r L'tiess we'd both (lo better to let each other alone." " 'I ain't exactly good amusement, not for us." A lie agreed. It was growing dark. Ann Kutled-e arrived on her pony, and culled A'e aside and told him that the rjiil.Ts wore in the village and were hre;.k, ng the windows of liadlord's store .be cause he had refused to sell ihciil lopior. "Ioii't say un? thing about It," Abe cautioned her. "Just go Into the house with Sarah Trajlor and sit down and have a good visit. We'll look after the raiders." Then Abe told Samson whit wuw up. The men concealed themselves In some bushes by the roadside while the minister sat close against an end of the Ionise uitli his bloodhound beside him. I'.efore they were setiieil ill their places they hoard the regulator coining. There were eight men In the party according to Abe's count as they passed. The men. ill conceal ment, hurried to the cabin and sur rounded it, crouched against the walls. In a moment they could see a big spot, blacker than the darkness, moving toward them. It was the massed raider. They came on with the stealth of a cat Hearing its prey. A lioiilike rour broke the silence. The preacher's bloodhound leaped forward. The walling men sprang to their feet and charged. The raider turned and ran, pell melt. In a panic toward their horse. Suddenly the darkness seemed to fill with moving figure, line of the fleeing men, hoe coat taila the dog had selied, was yelling for help. The minister rescued hits and the dog went on roaring after the other. Whey the New Kiilemltea got to the edge of the grove the could hear a number of regulator cllinhlng Into the t reel op. Samson had a man In each hand: Abe had another, while. Harry Needle and AJeiatider Fergu son were in possesion of the man whom the dog had raptured. The mluister wa out In the grove with hla bloodhound that wa barking ami growling under a tree. Jack Kelso rried with a lantern, one of Sam son' captive begun swearing and struggling to get away. Samson gave him a little shake ami bade hint be inlet. The man littered a cry of fear and pain and offered no more resist ance. Stephen N tickle came out of the grove. "The rest ' Hint ar party done gone upstair to roost," said the minister. "I reckon my dog'll keep Vm thar. We better Jest tote these men Inter Ihe house an' have a prnylli' be. I've got a right smart good cbanct, now. to whop oP Satan." They moved the raiders' horses. Then the party save Harry Needle, who stnvisl In the grove to keep watch took its captives Into the cabin. Tims- of I hem were boy from eighteen to twenty J ear of age The other wa a lanky, bearded Tetine seean some fofty year old. One of the .voting lads had hurt bis hand in the evening's frolic. IHoin! wn dripping from It. The four sat silent and fear fill urn! ashamed. Surah made tea and put It with meat and milk and doughnuts and bread and butter un (lie table for them. Sainton wasted ami httlidugeil the boy's wound. The captives ate as If they were hungry, while the nenlster went out to f I his dog. When Ihe men had flushed eating Satuson offered them tobacco. The oldest man tilled his pipe mid lighted it with a coal. Not one of tie captives had said a word lin'll this tall Teiit.esse.an re marked after I Is pipe wus going: "Thniikce, misier. Yu ihuie LeoU llht good to U.S." "Who told von to come here?" Sam son ileiiianded. " Tvvere a man from St. I ouis. He done said )oi haled Ihe South all' were lucp n' ii.ggers to run away." "And he otTere l to pax "ii to come here u in I burn this hoii-e und run Travlor out of the count), didn't he?' Abe asked.
