At some point between last chpter and this chapter, Mr. Leroy's family has been kidnapped and he was determined to gave money to be able to free them. Anyways in the chapter he is going to make Ms. Holston happy by giving her a present that should reminds her of Mr. Holston. In the end they ended up giving a wood-carving with a lovely statement on it. So Ms. Holston gave him gold for him to pay for his family.
Even though Mr. Leroy already had money enough to pay for his family, but he still had no idea how will he get them back since he cant arranged a meeting or anything. Mr. Preacher came in time like he was waiting for this moment and he then claimed that he can actually arranged a meeting with those guys and with only 100 extra bucks for travelling. Mr. Leroy then make his mind to trust him and then gave a money to him without hesitation. Pa said he has a bad feeling about this.
The Preacher really did it! he stole the money and left. When Pa and Eli knew about it they were really shocked but when Mr.Leroy knew it. He wasn't shock in one bit but instead he was furious as fire he grabbed his axe and ready to cut up Eli into two. He push Eli's head down to the ground.
Pa said what are you trying to do and pull me up. Mr.Leroy wasn't really going to kill him but Eli once again thought about it by himself. They got a piece of information that Preacher is in the forest so they folllowed him there and in the forest, Eli felt that someone was there watching them and he felt like somebody grabbed his collar.
It was just a chunk of stone but what really concern him now was that Mr. Leroy called him to talk to him. Mr. Leroy then ask for Eli's help to guide him because he was lost. They then plan to go to Michican ( though Eli thinks it's more like a kidnap) and find the preacher's location and get Mr. Leroy's money back.
Mr. Leroy somehow gather information near the gambling area and he found out that preacher was now in the east part of America and he's going where the slaver is. They again got on the jingle bell and roll along the road. Mr. Leroy's limit has come where his stress surpass his mind and he can't even move one bit, blood came out of nose and mouth and then he slowly began to stay still, so the driver promise to take Mr.Leroy to Eli's aunt and Eli will gather some people from Buxton to go and get that preacher.
As he running along the way he was a barn and he thought that maybe he could find some water for him to drink. And he found a slave woman and child there, they're born slave and they weren't even one time being able to free themselves because they're in America. So Eli told them that in Canada, there's no more slave, they're all free there so These Mother-child decided to go to Buxton and start a new life as a free one.
They had a little chit-chat about what's goin on in Buxton and then some people came inside, but fortunately it was those gambler which was giving information in Michican. They said that preacher is dead and was hanged in the stable. Eli told them that they all should go and try to rescue slaves there but they refused because they knew it better than Eli that if they do it now it would be a futile.
So Eli came back to this Woman alone and there he talked a little more ( I'm curious why didn't he just take her out ) So the woman said that this girl is Eli's daughter but it happened long time ago so now she's planning that Eli should take her and let she sees Pa so she won't ended up having a tragic life like her. So they came back to Buxton. At there Mr. Douglas has done some miracle he has brought some of the villagers and attack the slaver's camp and steal the money back for Mr. Leroy.
the end has said "There's always a hope in Buxton"
