"' S. * ABE LINCOLN Synopsle. -- Samson and Sarah Traylor, with their two children, Joaiah and Betsey, travel by wagon In the summer of 1831 from their home In Vencenncs, Vt, to the West, tlip land of pienty. Tl'.eir destination Is the Country of the Sangamon, In Illinois. At Niagara Falls they meet a party of Inimlfrants among them a youth named ohn McNeil, who also decides to go to the Sangamon country. In the swamp flats of Ohio and Indiana they begin to be troubled *ith fever and ague. * CHAPTER II.--Continued. I e« C: j; %v ' shall never forget that day spent^ te a loneiy part of the woods," the good woman wrote to her brother. "It endeared the children to me more than any day I. can remember. They brought water from the creek, a great quantity, and told me stories and cheered me in every way they could. My faith in God's protection was perfect and in spite of my misery the children were a great comfort. In tike middle bf the afternoon Samson returned with a doctor and some tools and a stick of seasoned timber. How good he looked when he came and I knelt by my bed and kissed me! This Is a hard journey, but a woman can bear anything with such a man. The1 debtor said I would be all right in three days, and I was. t "Late that afternoon It began to rain. Samson was singing as he worked on his wheel. A traveler came along on horseback and saw our plight. He Was a young missionary going west. Samson began to Joke with him. •"You're a happy man for one In fo much trouble,*, said the stranger." "Then I heard S&tason say: 'Well, sir, I'm in a fix where happiness is absolutely necessary. It's like grease on the wagon wheelar-we couldn't *> on without it When we need any-, thing we make it if we can. My wife Is sick and the wagon is broke and it's raining and night is near in a lonesome country, and it ain't a real good time for me to be down in the mouth --Is it, now? We haven't broke any •bones or bad an earthquake or been scalped by Indians, so there's some room tot happiness.' - " 'Look here, stranger--I like you,' •aid the man. 'If there's anything I can do to help ye, I'll stop a while.'" He spent the night with them and helped mend the felly and set the tire. The fever and ague passed from one to another and all were sick before the Journey ended, although Samson kept the reins in hand through his misery. There were many breaks to mend, but Samson's Ingenuity was always equal to the task.' One day, near nightfall, they were overtaken by a tall, hatidsome Yankee lad riding a pony. His pony stopped beside the wagon and looked toward the travelers as if appealing for help. I'he boy was pointing toward the horison and muttering. Sarah saw at once that his mind was wandering in the delirium of fever. She got out of the wagon and took his hand. The moment she did so he began frying like a , child. | "This boy is sick," she said to.Samson, who came and helped him Off hts horse. They camped for the night and potthe boy to bed and gave him medicine and tender care. He was too sick to travel next day. The Traylors stayed with him and nursed the .lad until he was able to go on. He was from Niagara county, New York, ,and his name was Harry 1 Needles. His mother had died when he was ten and his father had married again. He had not been happy in his home after that and his father had .given him a pony and a hundred dollars and sent him away to seek his own fortune. Homesick and lonely and 111, and just going west with a sublime faith that the West would somehow .provide for him, he might even have perished on the way If he had not fallen in with friendly people. His story bad touched the heart of Sarah and Samson. He was a big, green, gentlebearted country boy who had set out filled with hope and the love of adventure. Sarah found pleasure in Bothering the poor lad, and so tt happened that he became one of their little party. He was helpful and goodnatured and had sundry arts that pleased the children. The man and tbe woman liked the big, honest lad. One day he said to Samson: "I hope you won't mind if I go along f with you, sir." "Glad to have yon with us," said Samson, "We've talked It over. If you want to, you can come along with us and our home shall be yours Mjfd I'll do what's right by you." They fared along through Indiana «nd over the wide savannas of Illinois, and on the ninety-seventh day of their journey they drove through rolling, grassy, flowering prairies and - * up a long, hard hill to the small log cabin settlement of New Salem, Illinois, on the shore of the Sangamon. STiey baited about noon in the middle of this little prairie village, opposite •.small clapboard house. A sign hung , oter Its door which bore the rudely tottered words"Rutledge's Tavern," A long, slim, stoop-shouldered young Saan sat in the shade of an oak tree • that stood near a corner of the tavern, * with & number of children playing • around him. He sat leaning against tfcs tree trunk reading a book. He had risen as they came near and stood looking at them, with the book under his arfh. Samson says in his diary that he looked like "an untrimmed yearling colt about .sixteen hands high. He got up slow and kept rising till his bush of black tousled hair was six feet four above the ground. Then lie put on an old straw hat without any band on it. He reminded me of Philemon Baker's fish rod, he was that narrer. F'or humliness I'd match him against the v/orld. His hide was kind o' yaller and leathery. I could see he was still in the gristle--a little over twenty--but his face was marked up by worry and weather like a man's. I never saw anybody so long between joints. Don't hardly see how he couid tell when his feet got cold." He wore b hickory shirt without a collar or coat or jacket. One suspender held up his coarse, linsey trousers, the legs of whicli fitted closely and came only to a blue yarn zone above his heavy cowhide shoes. Samson writes that he "fetched a sneeze and wiped his big nose with a red handkerchief' as he stood surveying them in silence, while Dr. John Allen, who had sat on the door-step reading a paper--a kindly faced man of middle age with a short white beard under his chin--greeted them cheerfully. "Where do you hail , from 7" the Doctor asked. "Vermont" said Samson. "All the way in that wagon7" "Yes, sir." * "I guess you're made o' the right stuff," said the Doctor. "Where ye bound?" "Don't know exactly. Going to take a claim somewhere." "There's no better country than right here. This is the Canaan of America. We need people like you. Unhitch your team and have some dinner and we'll talk things over after you're rested. I'm the doctor here and I ride all over this part o' the country. I reckon I know It pretty welV A woman in a neat calico dress came out of the door--a strong-built and rather well-flavored woman with blonde hair and dark eyes. "Mrs. Hutledge, these are travelers from the East," said the Doctor. "Give 'em some dinner, and If they can'f pay for It. I can. ^They've came all the way from Vermont" "• "Good land! Come right in an*.rest yerselves, Abe, you show the gentleman where to put his horses an' lend him a hand." Abe extended his long arm toward Samson and sai<^ "Howdy" as they shook hands. "When his big hand got hold of mine, I kind of felt his timber," Samson writes. '.'I says to myself, 'There's a man It wonld be bard to tip over in a rassle.'" "What's yer name? How long ye been trarelin'? My conscience! Ain't ye wore out?" the hospitable Mrs. "Perns All the Way From Vermont?" Abe Asked1. Rutledge was asking as she went into the 'house with Sarah and the children. "You go and mix up with the little ones and let yer mother rest while I git dinner," she said to Joe and Betsey,, and added as she took Sarah's shawl and bonnet: "You lop down an' rest yerself while I'm flyih' around the fire." "Come all the way from Vermont?" Abe asked a/f. be iutdSemson were unhitching. *» f "Yes, sir." •-• "By Jlng!" fit® sTlm gtant exclaimed "I reckon you feel like throwln' off yer harness an' takin' a rolt In graSS." - CtMPTEff" HI, Wherein tbe Reader Is tntroduoed to Offufs Store and His Clerk Abe, and the Scholar Jack Kelso and His Cabin and His Daughter Bin*, and Qets i^Firit Look at Lincoln.

The food food and their kindly welcome and the beauty of the roiiing, wooded prairies softened the regret whicli had 'been growing In their hearts, and ivhich only the children had dared to express. 0 "Perhaps we haven't; made a mistake, after all," Sarah whispered when •the dinner was over. "I like these pe<)ple and the prairies are beautiful." "It Is the land of plenty at last," said Samson, as they came oat of doors. "It Is even better than I thought" • "As Douglas Jerrold said of Australia: Tickle K with a _ hoe and it laughs with a harvest,*'" said Dr. Allen, who still sat in the. shaded dooryard, smoking his pipe. "I have an extra horse and saddle. Suppose you leave the faiially with Mrs.'Rutledge and ride around with me a little (this afternoon. I cap show jroo how the land lies off to the west of us, and tomorrow well look at the other side." Thank you--I want to look around her© a little," said Samson. "What's tHe name of this place?" New Salem. We call It s Tillage. It has a mill, a carding ma&ine, a tavern, a • spfiooihouse, five stores, fourteen houses, two or three men of genius, and a noisy dam. It's a crude but growing place and soon it will have all the embellishments of civilized life." That evening many of the inhabitants of the little village came to the tavern to se6 the travelers and were Introduced bjr Dr. Allen. Most of them had come from Kentucky, although there were two Yankee families who had moved on from Ohio. These are good folks," said the Doctor. "There are others who are not so good. I could show you somepretty rough customers at Clary's Grove, not far from here. We have to take things as they are and do our best to make 'em better." Any Indians?" Sarah asked. You see one now and then, but they're peaceable. Most of 'em have gone with the buffaloes--farther west. Now and then a circuit rider gets here and jjreaches to us. You'll hear the Reverend Stephen NwSiMps If you settle in these parts! He can holler louder than any m»n In the state." The tavern was the only house in New Salem with stairs in it--stairs so steep, aB Samson writes, that "they were first cousins to the ladder." There were four small rooms above them. Two of these were separated by a partition of cloth .hanging from the rafters. In each \ was a bed and bedstead and smaller beds on the floor. In case there were a number of adult guest! the bedstead was creened wjlti sheets hung upon strings. In one of these rooms the travelers had a night of refreshing sleep. 1 i After ' riding two days with the Doctor, Samson bought the claim of One Isaac Gollaher to a half section of land a little more than a mile from the western end of the village. He chose a site for bis house on the edge of an open prairie. "Now we'll go over and see Abe," said Dr. Allen, after the deal was made. "He's the best man with an ax and a saw In this part of the country. »He clerks for Mr. Offut. Abe Lincoln Is one of th? best fellows that ever lived--a rough diamond Just out of the great mine of the West, that only needs to be cut and polished." Denton OfTut's store was a small log structure about twenty by twenty which stood near the brow of the hill east of Rutledge's tavern. When" they entered it Abe lay at full length' on the counter, his head resting on a bolt of blue denim as he studied a book In his hand. He wore the same shirt and one suspender and linsey trousers which be bad worn in the dooryard of the tavern, but his feet were covered only by his blue yarn socks. It was a general store fall of exotic flavors, chiefly those of tea, coffee, tobacco, muscovado suga^ and molasses, There was a counter on each side. Bolts of cloth, mostly calico, were plied on the far end of the right counter as one entered and the near end held a showcase containing a display of cutlery, pewter spoons, Jewelry and fishing tackle. There were double windows on either side of the r6ugh board door with Its wooden latch. The left counter held a case filled with threads, buttons, combs, colored ribbons, and belts and Jew's-harps. A balance stood In the middle of this counter. A chest of tea, a big brown jug, a box of jpandles, a keg and a large wooden pail occupie<Hts farther end. The shelving on Its side walls was filled by straw hats, plug tobacco, bolts of cloth, pills and patent medicines and paste-board boxes containing shirts, handkerchiefs and underwear. At the rear end of the store was a l^rge fireplace. There were two chairs near the fireplace, both of which were occupied by a man who sat in one while his feet lay on the other. He wore a calico shirt with a fanciful design of morning-glories on It printed in appropriate colors, a collar of the same material and a red necktie. Abe laid aside his book and rose to a sitting postare. , . "Pardon me--you see the firm is busy," said Abe. "Yon know Eb Zane used to say that he was never so busy in his life as when he lay on his back with a broken leg. He said he had to work twenty-four hour* a day doin' nothin* an' could never git an hoar off. But a broken leg is not so bad as a lame Intellect That lays you ont with the fever an' ague of ignorance. Jack Kelso recommended Klrkham's pills and poultices of poetry.

"He looks as If be could push a house down with One hand and build it up with the other. You can bet 111 be glad to help in any way I cap." "We'll all turn in and help. I should think Bill or Jack Kelso could took after the store for a few days," said the Doctor. "I promised to take Mr. Traylor over to Jack Kelso's tonight. Couldn't you come along?" "Good! We'll have a story-tellln' and get Jack to unlimber his guns," said Abe. " Jack Kelso's cabin, one of two which stood dose together at the western u : • ^ m S "Pardon Kfe--You ttw Pirm Is Busy."

There were guns on a rack over the fireplace under a buck's head, (a powder horn hanging near them on its string looped over a nail. There were wolf and,deer and bear pelts on the floo£ The skins of foxes, raccoons and wildcats adorned the log walls. Jack Kelso was a blond, smooth-faced, good-looking, merryhearted Scot, about forty years old, of a rattier slight build, some five feet, eight Inches tall. That is all that any one knew of him save that he spent most of his time hunting and fishing and seemed to have all the best things, which great, men had said or written, on the tip of his tongue. (TO BE CONTINUED.) INSPIRATION ON THE WING Great Compositions That, Seem to H«m Jfeen Awaiting the Mwpent of Their Birth. -- ' / Chartes TCingsley returned home one night rather dejected because a sermon jra had preached that day in Londo^had proved a little too "socialistic" for the Incumbent. Instead of, going to bed he paced back and forth in front of the lire, and his wif% knowing he was composing, left him, and retire^. In the morning he recited to her that moving lyric: "Thre* flatten want Mlllm out Into th« wMt, Out Into th« wMt u tb« ran wMt down." There is a tablet in the porch of Wrexham church to the memory of Bishop Heber, which records that the most popular of all missionary hymns was composed In the town. Reginald Heber? who was then vicar of Hodnet,< happened to be staying at the vicarage with his father-in-law, Dr. Shipley, dean of St. Asaph's, who was to preach a missionary sermon on the Sunday. Heber and other friends were assembled In the library on the Saturday, when the dean ask£d his son-inlaw If he could write something for the service next morning. Heber <<*- tired to the farther end of the room for the purpose and at tbe end of IB minutes he read the first three of the four verses of which the famous hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountsina," consists. His hearers were delighted, but Heber said the sense was not complete, and devoted another five minutes te ^he fourth stanza. j Book as •niiiartosttsLiX':'. . • • • Books are the great clvlllzerl of tbe race, the storehouses of knowledge, the granaries of intellectual food.

S±ts ts wttt sraxr facg, hats appropriate for every occasion and hats that are, above all, seasonable for the time of year during which they are to be worn, is the ideal that modistes have had tn mind for many months, the object toward which they have been steftdily working. And, writes a style authority, judging from, the millinery that is presented for the midsummer season, their ambitions have been realized. , Those who design and make clothes deserve a great deal more of public approbation than they ever receive. They are criticized time and again for forcing the sales ^of costly and unseasonable merchandise and for showing models much in advance of the season for the Bake of obtaining new business and making the clothes which wonien already have appear a pace behind fashion. The most fault-finding person in ex-* isteuce could not justly accuse milliners of not having done their very beat this year to keep dress in its logical place In regard to the season. For the sunny months they bave made an extensive showing of typical summer hats. They have made the wldetrlmmed hat, that so becomingly shadows the face, rival the smaller bat to a degree not seen before. Large Capefmea Vie With Toques. So much publicity has the wide bat recently received that women might be led to believe that the small - hat No. 4--Blue Crepe de Chine With Pompon of Ostrich.

Even If It Were we would be no better off, for we still would be following one line In fashions without the variety that we should have, and the difficulty of finding a becoming hat would be as great as ever. Hats prepared for the mldsuntmer •re of Infinite variety, from large capelines to tiny toques. The tendency recently has; been toward larger hasts?Jt"l* W fsWi to say that they are going to be unl* v«flNally adopted, because they are not becoming to every woman. It means a great deal to a woman to have • becoming bat > The whole world la likely to appear a little more pleasant to, her, and it certainly has an excellent effect on her disposition. ~ In order to make it possible for each woman to bave her friends say, "You could not have a more becoming hat,? we must have shapes, sizes and trimmings suitable for the fluffy coiffure, for simple, smooth halrdresslng and 'for every type of face. And, above all, there must be hats of every color, for color Is very Important In making headgear becoming. Then, they must not all be of fabric. The fabric hat Is excellent, and at the moment Is preferred to any Other, but here again we must be care fnl to avoid monotony--and a pretty straw hat may be found much more beautifying than one made of silk or ribbon. We too often hear that "xhey are1 wearing" such and such a thing. For instance, "They are wearing fabric hats." But the woman who wants to be individual and be becomingly dressed will use her own judgment after having informed herself regarding the trend of fashion, and this summer she yiU take advantage of the great variety of things-offered her. Large Proportions and Novel Types. The thing that probably strikes the eye first in viewing the new millinery Is that the dimensions of hats in general have Increased. They are either higher, broader, or both. Some of the real summery one^ are of huge proportions. Among the small types are two new forms recently launched at Paris, In extraordinarily high crowned effects after the 1830 style. These are shown In dark hunter's green straw--and by the way, there Is • strong pendency toward these dafrk greens in millinery. ' One such model was trimmed with a huge rosette of straw placed at the side back, and another with tall upstanding quills made of eagle feathers. Ever so many smartly dressed women are affecting these carious tallcrowned hats. Next after the size one is impressed by tbe lighter colors, especially in the nets, chiffons and organdies,«, which are so suitable for hot weather. Among the light colors are lovely Parma violet shades an4 soft citron hues. Lovely models of organdie lay be embroidered in many hues tliat are In contrast to the color of the organdie, but blend beautifully with it. An example of this is seen in the embroidered hat. * Another changing model Is developed In mauve organdie and trimmed with cherries in cerise and mauve, and a hat of blue georgette crepe of a soft shade with d crown of dyed stra lace • One Is in French blue taffeta, white organdie and blue tagal straw. Tbe crown is of tbe straw, showing that the modiste Is qalte impartial in her use of materials, combining several In one model. ' Among the lovely things sent to America is a hat developed In core! pink crepe de chine trimmed with a large scarf of metal embroidered in pink silk. Some good-looking bats are In sailor shape and faced with very bright colored changeable taffetas--for Instance, a sailor of black taffeta, the brim faced with changeable red taffeta, trimming the hat WttB, foUksd bands of red and black. A WMmrnm 1 Models in Silk and Straw: a ' • IfyjfTOtfrlng In the wake of the craze An* certain types of tailored things, very smart tailored styles in hats have recently come Into unusual prominence. These are made In both crepe de chine and straw. Occasionally taffeta facings in brilliant colors are noted, and especially desirable Is changeable taffeta, which gives a marvelous color tone. One of the most popplar of the tailored models is a hai In shiny black straw trimmed with a braided band of bright green crepe de chine. This was brought out earlier In the season and Its popularity has Increased. Veil-trimmed hats have In no wise lost their prestige, for the most extraordinary styles In veils are just now being launched by leading milliners. A number of harem styles are copied from the Syrian and Egyptian headdresses. An Egyptian type Is In black net embroidered In colored cellophane. Folds of tulle or lace, scarfs and scarf ends often are attached to one or botb sides of a bat and looped gracefully. Such trimming" enlng to the contour of the face likely £o prove most becoming. You will see that we have quite as much choice in the matter of trimmings as we have in shape, size and coloring. A few of the unusual forma such as the straw rosette and eaglft feathers have been especially noted. But for the midsummer tbe trimming that one sees in profusion Is flowers. There is little novelty about them and It is true that they appear on the most commercial hat^. One of the smartest haudbag models was of black faille, very thin. It' opened flat to reveal the white moire lining and a compartment for bills anff cards, one for a small change purse, one for a mirror and another for • powder puff--a great deal to be away In such a small span. Washing Veils. •alls can be washed In the suae way that laces are--use 'warm soap suds. They should be pinned out on something flat to dry, however. Very Wide Brimmed Hats 'Sartorial Eclipse.

Very wide-brimmed hats ire worn at all tbe big functions In Paris, according to an auiiiufltj on styles. But they are not exclusively worn, because a hot favorite is the Napoleon shape, made of hatter's plush or black satin. France has lately been roused to fresh enthusiasm over the great Napoleon^ We have been celebrating his centenary. And quite suddenly the Paris milliners launched s whole •er)es of Napoleon styles--especially hats. This particular shape - Is very becoming to some women.
