The cart was given to Sam. “He was such a faithful and capable servant; so honest, polite and accomodating, that Mr. al concluded to let him take it under the im- pression that he inherited it from Parker. Uhe family were to start for the moun- tains in afew days, and home affairs were to be under Sam’s supervision, so it was good to i ‘ase him in a matter so very gratifying to his ideas of dignity and importance as being an heir.
