At the end of the war she returned to her home in Auburn, where she had previously brought her aged parents to settle on a piece of land owned by William H. Seward, Lincoln's secretary of state. It was this home, which became her own through money raised by the sale of Mrs. Bradford's book, that Harriet Tubman turned over to the Zlon African Methodist Episcopal church as a home for aged and Infirm negroes. She carried on this work alone for, many years, going about Auburn begging money and food for its support.

It was of Harriet that John Brown, introducing the negress to Wendell Phillips, said: "Mr. Phillips, I bring you one of the best and bravest persons wi the continentGeneral Tubman, as we call her." And Wendell Phillips, writing of the incident to a friend, said: "In my opinion, there are few captains, perhaps few colonels, who have done more for the loyal cause since the war began, and few men who did before that time more for the colored race than our fearless and sagacious friend Harriet."

But almost from that moment until now those arms never ceased working for others, black or white, who needed their strength and the tenderness of the heart that was all white in the black body. She obtained employment and saved all she earned. Then she disappeared and was not seen for months.

She had dared to go back to the land of bondage to show others the path to freedom. Aided by Quaker abolitionists in Philadelphia, slje soon had her underground railroad in working order, and so perfect were her plans that a few years ago when she was Introduced by Susan B. Anthony to a woman suffrage audience in Rochester as "the conductor of the underground," Harriet said: "Yes, ladies, I was de conductor of de underground railroad eight years, an' I kin say w'at mos' conductors can't say dat I nebber run my train off de track an' I nebber los' er passenger."

The price for the capture, dead or alive, of Harriet Tubman rose to over $40,000, but she was never taken.

She made over 19 trips into the very heart of the country where the head money was offered. She continued this work until thp beginning of the civil war.

Whenever she could get to a meeting she went and inspired others with her great faiths It was while on her way to attend a meeting in Boston at the invitation of Oerrit Smith that she fought the greatest single battle of her career.

She had stopped off at Troy and while there learned that a fugitive slave, Charles Nalle, a half-brother of the master who followed him and as white as his owner, had been taken and was in the hands of the officers, having been remanded back to Virginia. She went at once to the office of the United States commissioner, collecting on the way a large crowd that instinctively recognized her gift for Despite the many counter attractions a large crowd witnessed the Butte Driving club's splendid racing programme for Miners' Union day. The mutuel system of betting, now In vogue on nearly all eastern tracks, was Inaugurated. Good prices prevailed and the betting was brisk. The fourth race, In which Allerton Boy and Idol were the chief contenders, proved a lively betting affair.

Allerton Boy, a grand-looking stallion, driven by his owner, Louis Dreibelbls, and especially prepared for this race by "Buckets" Rut-ledge, won impressively. The special race between Ernfold and Chehalls was an exciting contest, the second heat, with Gus Threlkeld handling the ribbons over Ernfold, furnished the most spectacular finish ever witnessed on the track. Owing to a slight accident Chehallls was withdrawn after the second heat. after the war will never be fully chronicled. She was the friend of Garrison, Phillips, John Brown, Gerrlt Smith, Seward and Lincoln.

It may have been the proud fightinc blood of Ashantee lineage, the most indomitable of all the tribes from whigh the captives, victims of treachery more often than of battle, were loaded into American-bound slave ships, that made Harriet what she was. Of pure negro blood, she was born on a plantation in Dorchester county, Maryland. When she was 13 her instinctive antagonism against the tyranny of master over slave showed Itself. An overseer was pursuing- a slave with a club. Harriet charged the white leadership.

The crowd held back the officers, who were abtrat to covey the slave to a wagon, bids for the slave's purchase began. The owner offered to sell for $1,200, but when that was bid he raised his price to $1,500. A man across the street raised a window and shouted: "Two hundred dollars for his rescue but not one cent to his master!" That fired the crowd, and when the officers tried to bring the slave out the crowd 8 urged around the wagon. Harriet, who had kept her position at the door of the commissioner's office, shouted: "Here he comes! Take him!" and led the assault. Her enormous physical strength has been spoken of.

Breaking through the crowd, she seized the captive by the armpits and began to drag him down the street "Drag us out!" she shouted to her friends. "Drag him to de river! Drown him, but don't let dem have him!" Throttles Policeman. A policeman hit her on the head with his club and freeing one hand she knocked him back into the crowd.

There was a continuation of the fight in a house on the other bank and two men were shot, but Harriet got across in time to win the battle and the slave escaped. When the war came, Harriet, at the request of Governor Andrew of Massachusetts, gave her services as a spy. Of her war record only fragments are known, but in the book by Mrs.

Sarah H. Bradford, called "Harriet, the Moses of Her. People," it is related that she was often under fire of both armies and' that "she led our forces through jungle and swamp, guided by an unseen hand." She had the confidence of the fright-. ened southern darkles, who at first feared the Yankees more perhaps than their own masters," and she was able to gather information of the utmost importance to the union generals. Her work was not on the battlefield alone, however, for when- the union soldiers were dying by the hundred at Fernan-dina from dysentery, Harriet was sent from Hilton Head to take charge of the field hospital.
