".No," replied Mr. Morgan, -1 do not think it is, stud I do not want any more for it." Mr. Morgan, made tin- menus comfortable sis possible under the eirctiinslaneos, find tiny were soon sleeping soundly. There was one exception, and that was Jack. His sympathies were aroused for this aged man. and he was thinking how he could help him. i He thottghl of ihogranddaughter; where was she ? Perhaps, he might see her in the morning, lie fore! be went t? r.lecp, he resolved "to purch . a SC I iie lam! himself." j The slorin was over; and the next day was bright aud clear. A ftor they bad breakfasted, thoy left the house to see after the horses. Jack went back to talk with Mr. -Morgan. As he entered, he con fronted a bright-eyed girl of sixteen. Her complexion wan sun-burned; her hands shapely, but browned from toil, and her dark brown hair, was in short curls over her heed. "Good morning miss," Haid Jack, "I am seeking Mr. Morgan, can you tell me where i can find him ?" ? lie \yill be here in a few minutes sir," she replied. When the grandfather came in, ' he introduced ( apt. Smith, to Miss Annie .Morgan." After n few words to the young lady. Jack addressed Mr. Morgan "on the subject of land purchase." ?I will be so glad if you will buy it," said Annie. "Grandpa is too old to live here now/' "Do you understand," said Jack, "that your grandfather only asks one hundred dollars for it V" "That is'all that he gave for it, aud he could not expect to get any more." Jack told her, "he could not ufford to give any more, but they might find sonic one who would!" "No matter who might come, grandpa would not change his price." Turning to her grandfather she said. ? ' apt. Smith will buy the laud, and wc can go to Indiana." ? Another trouble arises, both my horses are dead, and how are wc to gol 1.0 the Kail road ?" "If you-can be ready in two hours, 1 will take you lo Fort Lnrainie, and we can have the papers for the land, arranged there." They had very little baggage. A medium size trunk und a small one, w as all. Annie appeared in a calico dress, a round hat with brown ribbon, and u warm shawl, somewhat faded, thrown over her arm. The cabin was closed securely, and just as they were leaving, an Indian came up. Mr. Morgan explained to him, that he was h aving never lo return. "Me sorry?sorry," he said. '?Sato." said Annie, "1 give the dogs to you, and I want you to tako eure of them." . _"Yes?yes"?was all he said, and :'?. -? i ~<< 7~*VoOVC "Tjrr.~~"i*vr- utrro'A-r ?- *A?? gat", gazing after them. Tim money was paid, and the land became the property of John Smith. .lack saw Mr. Morgan und his granddaughter start on their journey Eastward; lie was made glad by the recep tion of half n dozen letters. Tha mo'.her'.s were always read first. "Your purchase may be a fortuno to you," said Col. BensOn, w hen Jack had related the circumstance to him. Sympathy lor the old man, had caused Jack to buy it. and he had no idea it would ever become valuable. '?When I get through with the Road from Hallville, to Fort Casper, on the Flatte Hiver, I will not take another contract in this part of the country. My 'laughter-,' educations are finished, and they urge me to come buck to the old home. 1 intend to go, a< soon as I settle my business here." "J will throw all my influence in your favor of ( apt., (meaning Jack) und I am certain yon can get as in.'iuv contracts, as von can under take*." The Col., made inquires about Jack's family, and when he heard about his lame .-ister. he said, "my brother was very much .os you den eribe your sister* and he was cured permanently in an Institution in Canada." 'Phis information, inspired Jack, i with greater hope.-, for Susie's restor ation. He resolved to visit his home, j as soon :is the work in which they were engaged, was finished. Several months elapsed, and their work was progressing, and .lack did not know he was oh his own land, until he .saw the cabin. On his for mer visit, he had approached by anot her route.
