Chapter Eight
Even Irt the dim light Jackson'e
keen eyes could make out the man
responsible for the remark about
Rachel, and he drove his way to
ward him. For a minute the crowd.
astonished by the General's temer
ity, remained lmmooiie; men mere
wm a united movement to hem him
in. With sticks and rifle butts rais
ed in air, the hecklers seemed -ready
to etop at nothing.
John Randolph and Senator
Eaton were the first out of the
Inn in Jackson's defense. Forging
their way through the mob with an
invincible determination, they flay
ed about on all sides. Reinforce
ments from the tavern came to
Join them, but it was the reserved
Randolph and the immaculate
Eaton (neither of whom one could
associate with open battle) who
literally lorcea the raooie to Dena
to their will.
Peggy's thoughts, as she stared
fearfully through the seething
forme, went back to that other
occasion, five years before, when
the poison of mob fury had turned
Itself loose in the courtyard of the
Franklin Inn. She thought of Bow,
her Joyous warrior, leaping from an
unner window: she Imagined how
he would have plunged into the
crowd now, an menaceaoie smiie
upon his face .
The men who had reached Jack
son's side formed a little cordon
bout him, affording temporary
Srotectlon. But they were outnura
ered, nor could they match the
tactics of the crowd, Two clutching
at him, honey, like they have at
me. You'll help him. won't you.
Peggy?"
bo Doing, ner arms ciaspea aoout
Rachel's . walet, Peggy promised
that she would.
Rachel's morbid vronheey was
fulfilled. She lived only a short time
after the evening of the riot, and
when her husband placed her in her
grave he burled his heart there also.
une weeK alter ner aeatn, witni
the first snowflakes of the season
flying through the air, he drove'
out with Peggy to Rachel's grave, i
As he bowed his head there he
made no pretense of biding his
emotions.
"It's no use," he muttered, half
to himself. "I ain't got the spirit to
face it without you."
. Peggy, Rachel's farewell words
ringing in her ears, slipped her
arm through his.
"Uncle Andy," she said, "you're
the most Important President this
country's ever had. You've got to
face everything and you're going to."
Emily Donelson basked in the
glory of her position aa Presiden
tial niece. The only fly In the oint
ment was the presence of Peggy,
whose popularity and good looks
she jealously resented. One day she
sought a private conference with
Jackson and attempted to force the
issue.
"As your official First Lady," she
said, "it's my duty to warn you,
Uncle Andrew, that you cannot
force such a person down the
throats of Washington society."
"Who said anything about for
cin'," Jackson replied. "Peg's got
where she is so far on her own
danged prettiness and horse sense."
"She's not recognized by society,"
Emily responded heatedly. "Besides,
all Washington is talking "
Peggy, who had accidentally in
truded at that moment, needed only
a glance to determine the drift of
the conversation.
"Everywhere I go I seem to find
people talking about me," she
smiled.
"I suppose you know," said Emily
fiercely to Jackson "that Mr. Cal
houn says this woman will soon be
the real President!" ;
"In my humble opinion," returned j
Jackson, a slow grin coming over '
hla face, "she'd make a dang sight
better President than John C.
would!"
The controversy over Peggy's
social status did not keep her away

flung him to the ground. A heavy,
grinding boot trampled on hie face.
Randolph was driven aside, clubbed
by an unseen assailant Henry Clay
drew a sword but it was useless in
the press of figures about him.
There was a pistol shot from the
rim of the fighting throng, a sharp
cream, then ominous silence. In an
other moment there would be an
answering 'shot, and mass murder
would be turned loose.
", "Cease!" From the baloooy above
came a booming voice that carried
all the impact of a roll of thunder.
. "In the name of the Constitution
. of the United States, X ceil upon you
to disperse!"
No less magnificent a voice, no
less tremendous a personality than
-. Daniel Webster's could have had
any effect at that moment But
under the magnetic spell of the
i orator from Massachusetts, the
crowd wavered, turned, then broke
into spontaneous applause. :
: "Black Dan!" they cried. "Con
stituUon Dan!. Webster! Webster!
,, Speech! Speech!" - t

" fight had been carried inside. Jack

place in the new Cabinet had re

from one of the red-letter events
of the Washington season, the ball
even by the Dutch Minister. The
tter gentleman, despite opposition
from his wife, had assumed the
privilege of extending a personal
invitation to the fascinating Mrs.
Timberlake.
John Eaton, completely recovered
from his injury and the new Secre
of War, was Peggy's escort
Sight of the two arriving together
sent Mrs. BeaU and her cohorts into
a veritable spasm of sarcasm.
"Did you hear the latest?" said
Louisa Abbot "Poor Emily Donel
son couldn't stand it any more and
had to go back to Tennessee."
"A common barmaid parading
now as White House hostess," re
plied Mrs. BeaU. "If a aa affront to
public decency."
"What we ought to do la leave,"
said Tiffnisa.
"So we will, if this creature in
sists on showing herself off," an
swered Mrs. Beau.
When the dance muslo started
dozens of fashionably attired cou
ples moved forward to the ball
room floor. The - anvil-chorus of
Peggy's enemies kept up aa under
cover barrage of whispering . aa
every masculine eye in the hall
focused itself approvingly on the
graceful, gliding figure of Secretary
Eaton's partner, v
When the couple walked across
the floor after the dance, and Peg
gy became conscious of the abrupt
turning of backs aa she passed, she
glanced up at her companion. '
, "Do you know any special reason
why they should hate me?" she
asked. 3 ,; "',v
"Offhand, I can think of three,"
returned Eaton. :
"What, are theytV
"You're beautiful,' you're clever,
and, third, you're a widow a dan
gerous menace to their peace of
mind." ' - - :
1 think the first two points are
doubtful," smiled Peggy, i
,"Np, they're not" Peggy realized
that Eaton was. looking at her in
lar irom a casual manner.
"What do you recommend to im
prove things?" she asked, with an
engaging laugh. "
"That . you give up being a
widow," returned Eaton I without
hesitation. He pressed her arm and
his eyes told an expressive story.
Peggy, to whom this declaration
came aa an abrupt surprise, did not '
know what to reply. The orchestra
swung into a lilting waits, and she
took . Eaton's guiding hand,' her
thoughts in a daae.

able, he continued, the temperature
may be tested by dipping a finger
quickly into the water. If it burns
badly the first time, it is 'too hot.
If one's finger can be dipped in and
out more than three times in rapid
succession, the water is too cold.
A vat is the most satisfactory ves
sel in which to scald the hogs, though
a barrel may be used where only one
or two hogs of medium size are to
be dressed.
The porkers can best be cleaned
and scraped, after scalding, by plac
ing them on a table or platform three
or four feet wide and 12 to 18 inches
high.
When the animals have been scrap
ed, Nance continued, they should be
split down the center of their back
bones, with the leaf fat being loos
ened from the lower end of the ribs.
Then hang the half carcasses in the
smoke house to chill over night, but
be sure the meat will not freeze.
The next morning, cut up the meat
as neatly and smoothly as possible.
Trim each piece closely, as ragged
edges and too much fat lower the
value of the cured product and pro
vide hiding places for meat insects.
Timely Suggestions
For Butchering Hogs
The ideal time for butchering hogs
is on a dry afternoon when the tem
perature is around 18 to 40 degrees
fahrenheit.
On colder days, said R. E. Nance,
professor of animal husbandry at
State College, the job is too dis
agreeable and there is danger of the
meat freezing.
Give the hogs plenty of fresh water
to drink, but keep them off feed for
24 hours before slaughtering, he
said. Water for scalding the ani
mals, after they have been killed,
should have a temperature of 150
degrees.

Peanut Bags For Sale
These bags are of the same quality that
proved so satisfactory to the many farmers
who used them last year. They are not per
fect, but we consider them better and more
uniform in size than most of the so-called
"re-built" bags. Stop by and look them over
. . . and get our prices. It may result in a
considerable saving to you.
