not two. They had gathered up
all the other tribes for more than a hundred miles. Now they moved
North toward Canada. Terry tried to follow, but they held him off with
a rear-guard, like white veterans. The Indians escaped across the
border.

SAM

In San Francisco lived a lawyer--age, sixty--rich in money, rich in
intellect, a business man with many interests.

Now, this lawyer was a bachelor, and lived in apartments with his
Chinese servant "Sam."

Sam and his master had been together for fifteen years.

The servant knew the wants of his employer as though he were his other
self. No orders were necessary.

If there was to be a company--one guest or a hundred--Sam was told the
number, that was all, and everything was provided.

This servant was cook, valet, watchman, friend.

No stray, unwished-for visitor ever got to the master to rob him of
his rest when he was at home.

If extra help was wanted, Sam secured it; he bought what was needed;
and when the lawyer awakened in the morning, it was to the singing of
a tiny music-box with a clock attachment set for seven o'clock.

The bath was ready; a clean shirt was there on the dresser, with studs
and buttons in place; collar and scarf were near; the suit of clothes
desired hung over a chair; the right pair of shoes, polished like a
mirror, was at hand, and on the mantel was a half-blown rose, with the
dew still upon it, for a boutonniere.

Downstairs, the breakfast, hot and savory, waited.

When the good man was ready to go to the office, silent as a shadow
stood Sam in the hallway, with overcoat, hat and cane in hand.

When the weather was threatening, an umbrella was substituted for the
cane. The door was opened, and the master departed.

When he returned at nightfall, on his approach the door swung wide.

Sam never took a vacation; he seemed not to either eat or sleep.

He was always near when needed; he disappeared when he should.

He knew nothing and he knew everything.

For weeks scarcely a word might pass between these men, they
understood each other so well.

The lawyer grew to have a great affection for his servant.

He paid him a hundred dollars a month, and tried to devise other ways
to show his gratitude; but Sam wanted nothing, not even thanks.
