Guided by a mother's instinct, Rachel went her- self to the barn, and there in the manger of Beauty's stall, with his arms about the wondering animal's LEAVING THE FARM. 169 neck, poor John was giving away to the wild aban- donment of grief. The sight moved his mother as nothing else, and sitting down they wept together. But time moves inexorably on and pays little heed to tears and the pawing teams were ready to start, so at last they rose to go, when John, who looked like a hero even in his b...lue shirt and cotton pants said, "I'll have it back, every acre of it; every acre of it. " A few days after they had gotten settled they were surprised by a call from the director of what had been their home school. He soon made his errand known. It was that their township had requested the services, of Ruth to teach the spring school. This young lady at first demurred on account of fancied inability, but yielded, and ere- long seemed to have found her niche in the plain little school room. Edward remained in the Academy, while John found enough to keep him busy helping his father get adjusted to the new work of the store.
