"
"Come along with us and get the money if you can. I'll help ye fit up and
go where ye can earn a living."
"I'd like to, but my horse is lame and I can't leave the children."
"Put 'em right in this wagon and come on. If there's a livery in the
place, I'll send ye home."
So the children rode in the wagon and Samson and Brimstead walked, while
Sarah drove the team to the next village. There the good woman bought new
clothes for the whole Brimstead family and Brimstead sold his interest in
the sand plains and bought a good pair of horses, with harness and some
cloth for a wagon cover, and had fifty dollars in his pocket and a new
look in his face. He put his children on the backs of the horses and led
them to his old home, with a sack of provisions on his shoulder. He was
to take the track of the Traylors next day and begin his journey to the
shores of the Sangamon.
Samson had asked about him in the village and learned that he was an
honest man who had suffered bad luck.
