' CHAPTER II—Continued.
—5—
Jack and Solomon attended the town
meeting that day In the Old South
meetlng-honse. It was a quiet and or
derly crowd that listened to the
speeches of Joslnh Quincy, John Han
cock and Samuel Adams, demanding
calmly hut firmly that the soldiers be
forthwith removed from the city. The
famous Jqhn Hancock cut a great
figure in Boston In those days. It Is
not surprising that Jack was Im
pressed by hlr grandeur, for he had
entered the meeting house In a scarlet
velvet cap and a blue damask gown
lined with velvet and strode to the
platform with a dignity even above his
garments. As he faced about the boy
did not fall to notice and admire the
white satin waistcoat and white silk
stockings and red morocco slippers.
Mr. Quincy made a statement which
stuck like a bur In Jack Irons’ memory
of that day, and perhaps all the faster
because he did not quite understand It.
The speaker said: "The dragon’s teeth
have been sown.”
The chairman asked if there whs any
citizen present who had IxAm on the
scene at or about tbe time of the shoot*
Ing. Solomon Blnkus arose and held
up his hand and was asked to go to
the minister's room and confer with
the committee. < ■
Mr. John Adams called at the Inn
that evening and announced that he
was to defend Captain Preston and
would require the help of Jack and
Solomon as witnesses. For that rea
son they weredetained some days in
Boston and released finally on the
promise to return when their services
were required.
They had a hearty welcome at the
little house near the King’s Anns,
where ibey sat until midnight telling
of their adventures. In the,.midst of
it Jack said to his father:
“1 heard a speaker say in Boston
that the dragon’s te.etli had been ;sown.
What does that mean?"
'it means that war is coming,” said
John Irons. “We might as well get
ready for it.”
TheSe words, coming from his -fa
ther, gave him a shock of surprise. He
began to think of the effect of war
on his own fortunes.
Solomon sent his furs to market and
went to work on the farm of John
Iruns and lived with the family. The
hoy returned to school. After the hay
had been cut and stacked in midsum
mer they were summoned to Boston
CHAPTER III
.... ' .... V. „ -
The Journey to Philadelphia
The New York Mercury of Novem
ber 4, 1770, contains this Item:
“John Irons. Jr., and Solomon Bin-
kus, the famous scout, arrived Wednes
day morning on the schooner Ariel
from Albany; Mr. Blnkus is on his
way ,to Alexandria, Va., where he Is
to meet Major Washington and accom
pany him to the Great Kanawha river
In the Far West.”
Solomon was soon to meet an officer
with whom he was to find the amplest
scope for his talents. Jack was on his
way to Philadelphia. They had found
the ship crowded and Jack .and two
other hoys “pigged together"—In the
expressive phrase of that time—on the
cabin floor, through the two nights of
their journey. Jack minded not the
hardness of the floor, but there was
much drinking and arguing and ex
pounding of the common law In the for
ward end of the cabin, which often in
terrupted his slumbers.
He took the boat to Amboy as Ben
jamin Franklin, had done, hut without
mishap, and thence traveled by stage
to Burlington. There he met Mr. John
Adams of Boston, who was on his way

r
to U'-'iify In ihe trial of Preston."They
left in ‘September, taking with them
a drove of horses,.
“It will he good for Jack,” John
Irons had said to his wife. “He’ll f»e
the better prepared, for his work in
Philadelphia next fall."
Two important letters had arrived
that summer. One from .Benjamin
Franklin to John Irons, offering Jack
a chance to learn the printer’s trade
In llis Philadelphia shop*and.boanl and
lodging in his home.
The oi+mr, letter was from Margaret
Hare to the hov, in which she had said
that they were glad to learn that he
and Mr. Hinkus were friends of Gap-
tain Preston and inclined to help him
in his trouble. “Since 1 read ?our let
ter I am more in love with you than
e-ver," she had written. “My father
"ns - pleased with it. He thinks that
all cause of complaint will he repioved.
I ntil it is, 4 do not—ask yoiNU> be a
Tory, hut only to he patient,"
, Jack and Solomon were the whole
day getting their horses aentss Van
Peusen’s ferry and headed eastward
in the rough road. Mr. Binkus wore
his hanger—an old Damascus blade in
herited from his father—and ' carried
his long musket and an abundant store
of ammunition; Jack .wore Ids two pis
tols. In the use of wlueh he had be
come most expert. I 1
They iuQic to wagon roads improv
ing as they approached tmvns nnd vil
lages. in Hie first of whi m they began
selling the drove^When they reached
Boston, nearly a week later, they had
only the t\Vo. horses wliitfh they rode.
The trial had Just begun. Being nr
lent Whigs, their testimony made an
moression. Jack’s letter to his father
to Philadelphia., He was a full-faced,
ruddy, strong-built man of about thirty-
five years, with thick, wavy dark hair
“that fell in ^rll-trimmed—tufts rur
either cheek and almost concealed his
ears. It was heginhing.to show gray,
He had a prominent forehead, large
ddue and expressive eyes and a voice
clear and resonant. He was hand-
soinelv dressed.
Her daughter, Mrs. Bache, and t)l«
fatter** children were there. Suddenly
confronted by the problem of a strange
lad coming into the house to live with
them, they were a bit dismayed. But
presently their motherly hearts were
touched by the look of the big, gentle
faced, homesick boy. They made a
room ready for^him on the top floor
and showed him the wonders of the
big house—the library, the elect/lcal
apparatus, the rocking chair with Its
fan swayed by the movement of the
chair, the hew stove and grate which
the doctor had Invented. That eve
ning, after an excellent supper, Jack
suggested that he would like to have a
part of the. work to do.
“I can sweep and clean as well ns
anyone," he said. “My % mother taught
me how to do that. You must call on
me for any help you need.”
"Now I wouldn’t wonder hut what
we’ll git erlong real happy," said Mrs.
Franklin. “If you'll git up ’arly an’
dust the main floor an’ do the broom
work an’ fill the wood boxes an’ fetch
water, I’ll se* ye don’t go hungry.”
Jack went i-) the shop and was put
to work next morning. He had to
carry beer and suflfei; a lot of humili
ating Imposition from older boys In
the big shop, but he borq It patiently
and made friends and good progress.
That winter he took dancing lessons
from the famous John Trotter of New
York and practiced fencing with the
well-known Master Brissae. He also
tool? a course In geometry and trigo
nometry at the academy and wrote an
artlclfydeserlbing his trip to Boston for
the Gazette. The latter was warmly
praised by the editor and reprinted 7 In
New York and Boston Journals. He
Joined the company for home defense
and excelled In the games, on training
day, especially at the running, wres
tling, ‘boxing and target shooting.
There were many shooting galleries In
Philadelphia wherein Jack had shown
a knack of shooting with the rifle and
pistol, which had won for him the
Franklin medal for marksmanship. In
the hack country the favorite amuse
ment of himself and father had been
shooting at a mark.
Jack forged ahead, not only In' the
printer’s art, but on toward’ the full
ness of his strength; Under the stimu
lation of city life and continuous
study, his talents grew like wheat. In
black soil. In the summer of ’seventy-
three he began to contribute to the
columns of the Gazette. Certain of
his articles brought him compliments
from' the best people for their wit,
penetration and good humor. He had
entered upon a career of great promise
when the current of his life quickened
like that of a'rlver come to a steeper
grade. It began with a letter from
Margaret /Hrire. dated July 14, 1773.
In It- she Writes:
“When you get this please sit down
and count up the years that have
passed since we parted. Then think
how our plans have gone awry. You
must also thinlc of me waiting hers
for you in the midst of a marrying'
world. All my friends have taken their
mates and passed-on. I went to Doct |
tor Franklin today and told him that
I was an old lady well past nineteen
and accusedof having a heart of
stone. He said that he had not* sent
for you because you were making such
handsome progress in Vour work. I <
said: ‘You do not think of “the rapid
progress I am making toward old age.
You forget, ton, that I need a husband
as badly as the Gazette needs a philos
opher. I rebel. You have made me an
American—you and Jack.. I will nbt
longer consent to Luxation without rep-'
resentation. Year by year I am giving
up some of my youth and I am not
being consulted about It.”
‘‘Said he:,!I would demand Justlee
of the king. I suppose he thinks
that his country cannot yet afford a
queen. I shall tell him that lie Is
Imitating George the Third and that
he had better listen to the voice of
the people.’
“Now, my beloved hero, the English
girl udm is not married at nineteen Is
thougntro he hopeless. There-are^fine
lads who have asked my father for the
right to court me and still I am wait
ing for my brave deliverer and he
comes not. I cannot forget the thrush’s
song and the enchanted woods. They
