She ran away a few steps. Theh, In deed, they were back on the familiar trail In the thirty-mile bush. A moose bird was screaming at them. She turned and said: “I wanted you to know, but I have said nothing. I couhln’t. I. am under a sacred promise. You are a gentle man and you will not kiss me or speak of love again until you have talked with my father. It Is the custom of our country. But I want you to know that I am very happy.’’ “I don’t know how I dared to say and do what I did,-but I couldn’t help It.” ‘‘I couldn’t help It either. DJast longed to know If you dared.’’ “The rest will he In the future—per haps far In the future.” His voice trembled a little. “Not fur if you come to me, but I can wult—I will wait.” She took his hand ns they were walking beside each other and added: “For you.” “I, too, will w ait,” he answered, "and as long as ihave to.” Mrs. Hare, walking down the trail to meet them, had come near. Their Journey out of the wilderness had end ed, but for each a new life had begun. The husband and father of the two ladles had reached the fort only an hour or so ahead of the mounted party and preparations were being made for an expedition to cut off the retreat of the Indians. He was known to most of his friends In America only as Col. Benjamin Hare—a royal commissioner who hud come to the colonies to in spect and report’ upon the defenses of his majesty. He wore the' uniform of « colonel of the King's guard. There is an old letter of John Irons which says that he was a splendid figure of a man, tall and well proportioned and about forty, with dark eyes, his hair and mustache just beginning to show gray. "I jnnll not try here to measure my gratitude,” he said to Mr. Irons. ‘T « - i w ill gee you tomorrow.” “You owe me nothing,” Irons an swered. "Tlip rescue of your wife and daughter is due to the. resourceful and famous scout—Solomon Blnkus.” “Dear old rough-harked' hickory man!" the colonel exclaimed. “I hope to see him soon.” ' " He went at -once With his wife and daughter to rooms In the fort. That evening he satisfied himself as to the character and standing of John irons, learning that he was a patriot of large Influence and considerable m^ans. The latter family and thajt of Peter “Bones were well quartered in tents north of Horse valley arrived next day with the cgptiSred Indians, who, under a military guard, were sent on to the Great Father at Johnson castle; Colonel Hare was astonished that neither Solomon Blnkus nor John Irons nor his son would accept any gift for the great service they had done him. "I owe you more thttn I can ever pay," he said to the faithful Blnkus. “Money would not be good enough for your reward." Solomon stepped close to the great man and said In a low tone: “Them young ’uns has growed kind o’ lovesick an’ I wouldn’t wonder. I don’t ask only one thing. Don’t make no mistake ’bout this ’ere boy. In the bush we have a way o’ pickin’ put men. We see how fhey stair up to danger an’ hard work an! goin’ hungry. Jack 1 Is a reg’lar he-mafi. T know ’em when I see ’em, which—It’s a sure fact—I’ve seen all kinds. He’s got brains an’ courage, an’ a tough arm an’ a good heart. He’d die fer a friend any day. Ye kain’t do no more. So don’t make no mistake ’bout him. He ain’t no hemlock bow. I cacaiate there ain’t no better man-timber nowhere—no, sir, not nowhere In this world—call It king er lord er duke er any name ye like. So, sir, If ye feel like doin’ suthln’ fer me—which I didn’t never expect It, when I done what I did—I’ll say ’SfoTjfT'to the boy. You’d never have to’ be ’shamed o’ him.’ 1 “He’s a likely lad,", said Colonel Hare. “And I am rather Impressed, by your words, although they present, a view that is new to me. We shall be returning soon and I dare Say they will presently forget each other, but if not, and he becomes a good man— as good a man as his father—let us say—=and she should wish to marry him, I would gladly put her hand Ip his.” At Fort Stanwlx, John Irons sold his farm and house and stock to Peter Bones and decided to move his family The meeting over, Jack and Solomon went on by stage to Boston fur a look at the big city. \ They arrived there on the fifth of March a little after dark. The moon was shining. A snow flurry had whit ened the streets. The air was still and cold. They had their suppers at the Ship and Anchor. While they were eating they heard that a company o£ British soldiers who were encamped near the Presbyterian meeting-house had beaten their drums on Sunday so that no worshiper could heap, the preaching. “And tjie worst of It Is we are com pelled to furnish them food and quar^ lers while they Insult and annoy us,” said a minister who sat the table. After supper Jack and Solomon went out for a walk.. They heard violent talk among people gathered at the street corners. They soon overtook a noisy crowd of boys and young men carrying clubs. In front of Murray’! barracks, where the Twenty-ninth regi ment was quartered, there was a chat tering crowd of men and boys. Some of them were hooting and cursing at two sentinels. The streets were light ed by oil lamps and by candles In the windows of the houses. In CornhlU they came upon a larger and more violent assemblage of “he same kind. They made their way through it and saw beyond a captain, a corporal and six private soldier* standing face tfe face with the crowd. Men were jeering at them; boys hurl ing abusive epithets. The boys, aa they are apt to do, reflected, with some exaggeration, the passions of their elders. It was a crowd of rough fel lows—mostly wharfmen and sailors. Solomon sensed the danger In the situ ation. He and Jack moved out of the Jeering mob. Then suddenly a thing happened which may have saved one or both their lives. The captain drew his sword and flashed a dark light upon Solomon and called out: "Hello, Blnkus! What the h—1 do you, want?” "Who be ye?" Solomon asked. “Preston." “Preston! Cat's blood and gunpow der! What’s the matter?” Preston, an old comrade of Solomon, said to him: "Go around to headquarters and tell them we are cut off by a mob and In a bad mess. I’m a little scared. I don’t want to get hurt or do any hurt ing.” Jack* and Solomon passed through the guard and hurried on. Then there were hisses and cries of “Tories! Rotten Tories!"

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Division of the Kingdom.. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Why the Kingdom Was Divided. The kingdom bo gloriously adminis tered In David’s time reached its climax in the time of Solomon. Solo mon was led astray through the Influ ence of his heathen wives, and the kingdom had begun to wane. God had expressed his indlgnatlbn toward him and made known the fact that (he kingdom was to be rent from him, yet not in his time, but In the time of Rehoboam (I Kings 11:9-13). I. The Demand of the People (vy. »l-4). - This was occasioned^ by the burden of excessive taxation and enforced la bor, which was required by Solomon In order to build costly houses and temples for his heathen wives. Owing to the multiplicity of his wives, this became very burdensome. They prom ised loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens. II. Rehoboam’s Foolish Decision (vv. 5-15). 1. Rehoboam Consulted With the Old Men (vv. 5-7). Thefe were men of experience who had been Solomon’s advisers. They advised that the peo ple’s request- be granted. 2. Rehoboam Consulted the Yonog Men (vv. 8-11). These young* men had grown up with him, possibly were his half-brothers, sons of Solomon’s many wives. Being thus brought up In the luxury of the harehi, they were Ig norant of the legal right of the people. Therefore, they advised even that the burdens be dw:reased. -> 3. Rehoboam Followed the Advice of the Young 12-15). At the appointed time he announced his pur- ^ _ , , „ „ ,,, . ., , _ , pose to the people. He even answered they heard missiles falling behind them . them asgprtlnff hls purpose to an ( ? ® m ” n8r t , he 8 °! d,e . r8 ' .. . „ Increase their burdens and sorrows. "They’s goln’ to be bad trouble thar," ' said Solomon. “Them lads ain’t to blame. They’re only doin’ as they’re commanded. It’s the pesky king that prto be hetchelled.” They were hurrying on, as he spoke, and the words were scarcely out of his .mouth when they heard the com mand to Are and a rife volley—then loud cries of pain and shrill curses and running feet. They turned and started back. People were r.iehlng out of III. The Revolt of the Ten Tribe* (vv. 10-24).

That -winter the Irons family and Solomon Blnkus went often to the meeting)**of the Sons of Liberty. One purpose of this organization was to imhicc • people to manufacture (heir own necessities and thus avoid buying the products of Great Britain. Facto ries were busy making looms and spinning wheels; skilled men and women taught the arts of spinning, weaving and tailoring. The slogan ‘‘Home-made or nothing.” traveled far and wide. " Late in February Jack Irons and Solomon Binkus went east ns delegates to a large meeting of th.e Sons of Lib erty in Springfield. They traveled.on snowshoes and by stage, finding the bitterness of the people growing more Intense as they proceeded. They found many women using thorns instead of pins and knitting one pair of stockings with the-ravelings of another. They were also flossing out their tilk gowns and spinning the floss into gloves with cotton. All this was to avoid buying goods sent over from Great Brituiu. hands, full. “The soldiers are slaying people," a man shouted. “Men of Boston, ws must arm ourselves and fight.” It was a scene of wild confusion. They could get no farther on Comhl.il. The crowd began to pour Jnto sidf* streets. Rumors were flying about that many had been killed and wounded. An hour or so later Jack and Solomon Wcic sei/. u by g’gioup of ruffians. .“Here are the d—n Tories!” one of <» them shouted. "Friends o’ murderers!” was the cry of another “Let’s hang ’em !” Solomon immediately knocked the man down who had-called them Tories and seized another and tossed him so far in the crowd as to give it pause. “I don’t mind bein’ hung," he shout ed, “not If It’-s done proper, but no man kin cull me a Tory lessen fny - hands are tied, without gittin’ hurt. An’ If my hands was tied Tij do some hol lerin’, now you hear me.” A man back in the crowd let out a laugh as loud as the braying of an -Others* followed his example. ass. (v. 20).
