CHAPTER FORTS-SIX SUDDENLY Jennet dropped her work and dashed out into the night. There was a naif-moon and she touncj her way easily to the bank over the landing. She sat down on the ground hugging her knees. Erron spoke behind her. "So, it’s here you are! He dropped down on the ground beside her. "I like it better, this way." - Yes, ne was bolder. Jennet un- ‘• \ slasped her knees, sat very straight. "Why aren’t you at that grand affair in the Buffalo village?" “Not me! 1 aimed to head here, first moment I could. I’ve been thinking of it >a, lot, Miss Jennet. Os J coming here ,\.. Say, you're shivering—you oughtn’t to be outside without a wrap over you!" As he spoke he was taking off his own coat —a seaman’s Jacket of wool and the insignia of a midshipman on the sleeve. Though she started to protest he put it over her shoulders. ,■ She had to say something, say Lt quickly. •’Yiou'll —stay in the navy?* , "1 can, with Perry, if so 1 want But 11 don’t know as 1 will. Grah’dad’? growing old—though ’tisn’t that that’s on my mind. Been on it ever since 1 went on up the lake, that day. Figured I might &s well get it spokeh...’’ In spite of the warmth of the Jacket Jennet was shivering again. “Was It terribly exciting,** she asked. “Aye, exciting. You’d have been proud of the brig. I’ll tell you all. , about it somf other time. Now what I’ve got to say is—can’t you knd Tbe married? That’s what I've been thinking about, these weeks. And I told myself Td ask Lt—-first thing 1 got home. So's to know.* \ She sprang to her feet; it would be easier to refuse him firmly if she were standing erect. “Erron, it’s—it’s impossible!" He stood up, too. He seemed . taller than he had before. “Why?" he demanded. . \ “Because..." She stopped. She did hot know what to say. But Erron Mi 4 U for bat. “la it

that Mohawk naif-breed you're still fancying after ?** Anger rushed hotly through her, exquisite to feet She threw back her head. “Yes, it J is, Erron Piers! And I’ve promised when this war is over and he can return—to marry him!" J I \ He put a hand bn her arm, “Do you know what you’re saying? You’d go, a girl like you, and live with Indians —a squaw ? Have you seen the way they live ?*fl “We Will live with white people." But her Voice had lost something of its assurance. She was making this up out of her* dreams. He drew his hand away. "Maybe he won’t come—maybe you'll forget him. I’ll wait to know." And before she could answer he swung around and walked aw ay from her. \ ’ •' * One morning, tw T o weeks later, Michael Duffy arrived. They heard a loud “Whoa" in front of the tavern and there he was, pulling a team to a stop, jumping out of a gaudily painted wagon. On a seat in the box of the- wagon sat another young man and a young woman beside him. At sight of him through the window Becky clutched Jennet's arm. “He’s here!"’ Sh*_said it on a gasp of breath. “Jennet, I don’t know—Pm—Pm not sure..." Duffy caught Becky about the waist, lifted her high in the air, set her qoWn on her feet very “Ready, lass? I atm to get a good piece on westward before dark. Brought a preacher and \ his wife along with me. Nice folk . —picked ’em up in Utica; They're settling on the Ohio, too. Mebbe they'll be neighbors. Go get your belongings, my girl, and Ell fetch > ’em in." There was no fright on Becky's i face now; her cheeks flamed and her eyes were very bright as she went up the stairs, Jennet at her ’ heels. She who had had nothing , in her life suddenly had every- , thing—-or so it seemed, with the wagon and team waiting and neighbors, maybe, and Michael Duffy taking her to a homesite in i the Ohio country... \ Jennet was wishing that Micfcael ware not m such a Jugoy.

Our Troubles:— Sometimes Americans think their present difficulties unique. They forget that there were always criticisms of our form of government and of those who administer it. It is good, therefore, to remind durselves occasionally of the fact that the United States bus almost always been in trouble , of one sort or anothet, and that it has always survived, chiefly because of the strong faith of its people in the principle of equal justice under law. On the birthday of Thomas Jefferson let hhn ' speak to us of 1951 as he <iid to Americans of 1801 on the occasion of his first inauguration: \ "Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have\ called by different names brethren of the same principle. , We are all Republicans; we are ,ail Federalists. If there be any kmong us who would wish to dis- , solve this JJnion, or to Change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as Monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated, where Reason is left free to combat ZL ■■■ ■' ■> i '' ?v . . 'l.. “I know, indeed, that some honest men fear that a republican government cannot be strong 1 ; that this government is not strong enough. But would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon a governnu ht which has so far kept us free and firm, on the theoretic f and visionary fear that this government the world’s bept hepe, may, by possibility, want * energy to preserve itself? I 'not. I believe this, on the contrary, the strongest government on earth. I believe it the only one where every man, at the call of the law, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions of the public order as his nur personal conccdn. "Lf|t us. then, wlth\courage apd\ confidence, pursue our own federal republican principles; our attnVhment to union and representative government.’* \ ~

There’d be tune, then, to trim the parlor with autumn leaves. For Sarah to prepare a little feast. To pretty Becky up .-.. But ne was giving them scarcely a chance to draw a breath. “Brush your hair hard, Becky, and loose. Here's a dress —I’ll strap up your box. Hurry—or he’ll go without you!" , When they went downstairs they found Quint in the kitchen with Michael Duffy and the two strangers. Plainly not a moment was to be lost. "Meet Reverend Baldwin, lass," said Michael. “He’s goin’ to tie us proper. And meet his wife, Laura." They were a pleasant-faced couple, country-bred; the preacher bowed gravely to Becky but his wife took her hand ana pressed it. "We were married but a month ago, child—l know Just how you feel!" “Everyone ready?” demanded Michael Duffy. — “Not here in the kitchen," begged Jennet, blit no one heeded her protest. Michael Duffy was drawing Becky beside him before the Reverend Baldwin. Quint stepped up to stand kt her other side. Sarah sank down on the settle, her face working with excitement. The preacher began to ; read the marriage lines. Then It was over and Michael a Duffy was shaking Quint’s hand hard. “You know what I told you, sir, about bein’ good to the lass!” He lifted Becky’s boxto his shoulder. "We’re off! Goodby, you folks —mebbe some day you’ll come visit us down Ohio way." Quint and Jennet stood in front of the tavern to wave them away. On Quint's face was a look of deep self-reproach and he seemed unaware of Jennet’s nearness. He did not move even after the wagon disappeared around a turn in the road. He was thinking, “A good team—that of young Duffy's— Rhoda wanted a good team —and a fine-looking wagon..." But he’d denied it to her, to save for the brig... He turned and went fnto the tavern without a word to Jennet JTo Ro GomlmuioAJ •L ■ . *• ■ . , ,u»ii
