Sam never was much on religion, and all the boys knew that he’d studied Bob Ingersoll’s works becauseanum- ber of them had borrowed the books from him. Besides that, Sam (we called him Big Sam _be- cause he was the biggest man on the drive and when his time check was ‘cashed could spend more money and stand up under more of Wetwood’s bum whiskey than any other Ilumberjack that ever made the town) was never known tosay more than three words without cussin’, and I tell you that there’s uot ‘a loader in the countr: could hold a candle to him in that line. It was sim- ply mysterious—this. act of Sam’s—and the boys at the camp would lay awake thinkin’ about the affair. The foreman, too, got interested, and one night wlen the matter was being discussed he appointed me -a committee to go-to Wetwood and see whatailed Sam. I got to town and found Sam, alright, and he was looking as good as ever. He was spruced up somewhat and wore a new outfit of togs with a paper collar and patent leather shoes. This was the first time I ever seen Sam dressed up, and I was sur- prised at his good looks. He spoke to me kind of cheerful like but when I asked him to drink he shook his head. This was an- other surprise to me, for during the ten years I had been with Sam he had never before refused. 1 didn’t say anything, but kept mum, and hung around the ‘town for three or four days, all the time trying to get at Sam’s ail ment. He went out on the street every night with the rest of the Army and acted like a real con- vert, so I made up my mind that he had went daffy on religion and I went back to camp and told the boys so. Of course all the boys felt a kind of sympathy for Sam, and |question. Shekind of strai some were in favor of getting him examined by the probate court, but as there was only about a week left to put in, we decided to wait until the job was finished. On the day that the crew was let out, we got our checks about 2 o’clock” in the afternoon and got into Wetwood by supper time. We moseyed around looking for Sam for a couple of hours but couldn’t locate him until the Army came out on the street. Sam was the last one in line and was singing and hammering on the bigdrum. They rounded up in front of Nosey Kelley’s place and had a regular religious jubi- lee, and then they went to the Army’s tent. — None of the boys cared to hear any more religion, so we stayed around Kelley’s and discussed plans for taking care of Sam. We hadn’t been there only about an hour when in comes Sam, look- ing mad as a bull moose on a rampage, and he goes right up to the bartender and calls for whiskey, inviting the rest of us to join. We thought then that he had gone plumb - crazy, be cause he looked more like a wild man than a lumberjack. We didn’t have to wait long for Sam to explain, though. ‘“You boys may thinkIam nutty,” said Sam, ‘ard I gness you are rightin a way. I gof stuck on oue of them girls that belong to the Army— that one with the blue dress. It was all up with me the first time I saw her, and there wasn’t any use of my staying on the drive. I didn’t dare talk to her till after I joined the Army, and then I got along first class till tonight. ing and just when she was going tosay good night I popped the ened herseir up, ‘looked at'me kind of queer like, then that she was the captai and that he had been gone fiom | [town about three weeks” l Little Chapters From Life I I took her home after the meet- | e.v wife Bailey, Jr., and Miss dwig were married at 75 Gass Lake yesterday at 11 lo’ciock a. m.
