"Laugh on!" thought Meshach, "till now I never knew the meaning of 'let them laugh who win." He felt confirmed in his idea to be married in the Raleigh tile, and when he saw Samson Hat, Milburn said: "Boy, brush all my clothing well. Then go back to the livery stable, and order a buggy to be ready for you at ten o'clock.
On the evening of the same day, the executioner Samson, shocked at the terrible deed which he had done, went to a priest, paid for masses to be said for the repose of the king, then laid down his office, retired into solitude, and died in six months. His son was his successor in his ghostly office, and, in a pious manner, he continued what his father began.
This is as important and interesting as Dis-covery. Surely the glory of finally getting rid of and burying a long and troublesome matter should be as great as that of making an important discovery.

"Go axe 'em who hit war thet got away from hyar."
"An' what happened to the grizzly?" the old man queried. "Oh, a bullet hit him, that was all, and he took a header into the ravine below." "It did! An' whar did the bullet come from? Jist dropped down by accident at the right moment, I s'pose." Reynolds merely smiled at the prospector's words, and offered no explanation. "Modest, eh?" and Samson chuckled.
It was a gift of his. "Do you know when I stole the lock? Foolish Dick! you gave me an anchor without a rope. Come and see." She rose from the table, and threw herself on the sofa.

Abe said that Illinois would be the Empire State of the West; that a new era of rapid development and great prosperity was near. Rumors of railroad and canal projects and river improvements were on every tongue. Samson and Sarah took new heart of the prospect and decided to try another year in New Salem, although an Irishman had made a good offer for their farm.
