CHAPTER VIII. ' 9 Wherein Abe Announces His Purpose to Be a Candidate for the Legislature, at Kelso's Dinner Party. Harry Need&s met Bim Kelso on the road next' day, when he was going down to see if there was iby mall, fche was on her pony. He was In his new suit of clothes--a butternut background striped Into large checks. "You look like a walking checker- 1 f ' board," said she. "This--this is my new suit," Harry , juiswered, looking down at It. ' • , * "It's a tiresome suit," Baid *she Impatiently. Tve been playing checker* yon it since.I caught sight o' you, and ;' I've got a man crowned in the king row." _ "I thought you'd like it," he an- »wered. quite seriously, and with a ' look of disappointment. "Say, I've got ..that razor and I've shaved three times ;V§already. "Don't tell anybody," he warned ' her. "They'd laugh at me. They •!wouldn't know how I feeL" ^ . j: "I won't say anything,"** she an- : : iswered. "I reckon I ought to tell you Jthat I don't love you--not so much as j v il did. anyway--not near so much. I % ' ~Jonly love you just a wee bit now.** Harry's face fell. i "Do you--love--some other man?" • ' -he asked. - f V' "Yes--a regular man--mustache, six ^ feet tall and everything. I just tell you - he's purty!" "is it that rich feller from St, ® Louis?" he asked. She nodded and then whispered: "Don't you tell." The boy's lips trembled when he answered. "I won't telL But I don't see how you can do it" "Why?" N « "Be drinks. He Isn't respectable.' "That's a lie," she answered quickly. "I don't care what you say." Bim touched her pony with the whip and rode away. Harry staggered for a moment as he went on. His eyes filled with tears! It MS-- "De Yw Love--Some Other He Asked. Manr • V " M' ,¥ seemed to him that the world had been ruined. On his way to the village he tried and convicted it of being no flt place for a boy to live In. Down by the tavern he met Abe, who stopped him. , "Howdy, Harry!" said Abe. "You look kind o' sick. Come into the store and sit down. I want to talk to you." Harry followed the big man into OfEut's store, flattered by his attention. There had been something very grateful in the sound of Abe's voice and the feel of his hand. The store was empty. "You and I mustn't let ourselves be worried by little matters," said Abe, as they sat down together by the fire. "Things Hhat seem to you, to be as big •s a mountain now will look like a mole hill in six qaonths. You and 1 have got things to do, partner. We mustn't let ourselves be fooled. I was once in a boat with old Cap'n Chase on the Illinois river. We had got into the rapids. It was a narrow channel In dangerous water. They had to keep l»er headed Just so or we'd have goije en the rocks. Suddenly a boy dropped bis apple overboard and began to holler. He wanted to have the boat Hopped. For a minute that boy thought his apple was the biggest tfetag la the world. We're all a good 4nl Uke hi*/ Wa keep dropping our mh&i si apple* and calling for the boat to stop. Soon we find out that there are many apples in the world as good as that one. You hare all come to a stretch of bad water up at your house. The folks have been sick. They're a little lonesome and discouraged. Don't you make it any harder by crying over a lost apple. Ye know it's possible that the apple will float along down into the still water where you can pick it up by and by. The important thing Is to keep going ahead." This bit of fatherly counsel was a help to the boy. - "I've got a book here that I want you to read," Abe went on. "It Is the 'Life of Henry Clay.' Take it home and read it carefully and then bring it back and tell me what you think of It You may be a Henry Clay yourself by and by. The worlti has something big in It for every one if he can only find It. We're all searching--some for gold and some for fame. I pray God every day that He will Ijelp me to find my work--the thing I can do better than anything else--and when it is found help me to do it I. expect it will be hard and dangerous search and that shall make mistakes. I expect to drop some apples on my way. They'll look like gold to me, but I'm not going to lose sight of the main purpose." When Harry got home he found Sarah sewing by the fireside, with Joe and Betsey playing by the bed. Samson had gone to the woods to split rails' "Any mail?" Sarah asked. ' "No mall," he answered. Sarah went to the window aftt 9t#©d for some minutes looking out at the plain. Its sere grasses, protruding out of the snow, hissed and bent in the wind. In its cheerless winter colors It was a dreary thing to see. How I long for home!" she exclaimed, as she resumed her sewing1 by the fire. Little Joe came and stood by her knee and gave his oft repeated blessing: , r God help us and make His fkca to shine upon tas." She kissed him and said: "Dear comforter ! It shines upon me every time I hear you say those words." 1 "Would you mind If I called you mother?" Harry asked. I shall be glad to have you do It If it gives you any comfort, Harry/' she answered. She observed that there were tears in his eyes. "We are all very fond of you," she said, as she bent to her task. Then the boy told her the history of his morning--the talk with Bim, with the razor omitted from It. Well, Harry, if she's such <a fool, you're lucky to have found it oat so soon," said Sarah. "She does little but ride the pony and play around with a gun. I don't believe she ever spun a hank o' yarn In her life. She'll get her teeth cut by and by." Then fell a moment of silence. Soon she said: "There's a bitter wind, blowing and there's no hurry about the rails, 1 guess. You sit here by the fire and read your book this forenoon. Maybe it will help you to find your work." So It happened that the events of Harry's morning found their pluce in the diary which Sarah and Samson kept. Long afterward Harry added the sentences about the razor. One evening Sarah and Samson, with Harry, went to a debate In the tavern on the Issues of the day, In which Abe won the praise of all for an able presentation of the claim of Internal Improvements. During that evening Alexander Ferguson declared that he would not cut his hair until Henry Clay became President, the news of which resolution led to a like Insanity in others and an age of unexampled hairiness on that part 9f the border. For Samson and Sarah the most notable social event of the winter was a chicken dinner at which they and Mr. and Mrs. James Rutiedge and Ann and Abe Lincoln and Doctor Allen were the guests of the Kelsos. That night Harry stayed at home with the children. Kelso was In his best mood. "Come," he said, when dinner was reatty. "Life is more than friendship. It Is partly meat" "And mostly Kelso," satd Doctor Allen. "Ah, Doctor! Long life has made you as smooth as an old shilling and nimbler than a sixpence," Kelso declared. "And, speaking of life, Aristotle said that the learned and the un learned were as the living and the dead." "It Is true," Abe interposed. "I say it, in spite of the fact that It Stays me." "You? No! Yoti are alive to your finger tips," Kelso answered. "But I have mastered only eight books," said Abe. "And one--the book of common sense, and that has wised you," Kelso went on. "Since I came to this country I have learned to beware of the one-book man. There are more living men in America than in any land I have seen. The man who reads one good book thoughtfully is alive and often my master in wit or wisdom. Reading is the gate and thought is the pathway of real life." "I think that most of the men I know have read the Bible," said Abe. "A wonderful and a saving fact! It is a sure foundation to build your life upon." Kelso paused to pcur whisky from a Jug at hi* aide for those who would take it: i "Let us drink to our friend Abe aed; his new ambition," he proposed. "What is ltr Samson asked. "I am going to try for a seat In the legislature," said Abe. The toast was drunk, and by some In water, after which Abe said: "If you have the patience to listen to it, I'd like to read my declaration to the voters of Sangamon county.* Samson's diary briefly describes this appeal as follows: "He said that he wanted to win the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens. This he hoped to accomplish by doing something which would make him worthy of it. He had been thinking of the county. A railroad would do more for it than anything- else, but m railroad would be too costly. The improvement of the Sangamon river was the next best thing. He favored a usury law and said, in view of the talk he had just heard, he was going to favor the Improvement and build- 4 "I'd Like to Mead My Declaration, to the Voters." remember, "I never did myself, bat if I did, sure they'd both look very tired. It^ would be still harder for an elephant; to be engaged to a cricket. I don't! reckon the elephant's love would flt the cricket or that they'd ever be able to agree on what they'd talk about. It's some that way with Abe and Ann. She is small and spry; he is slow and high. She'd need a ladder to get up to his face, and I Just tell you It ain't purty when ye get there. She ain't got a chance to love him." "I love him," said Harry. "I think he's a wonderful man. I'd fight for him till I .died. John McNeil Is nothing but a grasshopper compared to him." "That's about what my father says," Bim answered. "I lo« Abe, too, and so does Ann, but It ain't the hope to die, marryin' love. It's like a man's love for & man or a woman's love for a woman. John McNeil is handsome-- he's just plumb handsome, and smart, too. He's bought a big farm and If* going into the grocery business. Mr. Rutiedge says he'll t>e a rich nian." "I shouldn't wonder, iifc he going to the spelling school?" "No, he went off to Richland .today with my father to join the company. They're going to fight the Injuns, too." The shell soundfed for dinner. Bim started for the road at a gallop, waving her hand. He unhitched his team and followed it slowly across the black furrows toward the t>arn. He did not go to the spelling school. Abe. came at seven and said that he and Harry would have to walk to Springfield that night and get their equipment and take the stage in the morning. Abe said if they started right aWay they could get to the Globe tavern by midnight. In the hurry and excltepient Harfy forgot the spelling school. TSFBlm it was a tragic thing. Before he went to bed that night he wrote a letter to her. Abe and Harry I la the Black Hawk war. ing of schools, so that every «me vould learn how to tead, at least, and learn for himself what is in the Bible and other great books. It was a modest statement and we all liked it." "Whatever happens to Sangamon, one statement in that platfenn couldn't be Improved," said Kelso. "What is that?" Abe asked. "It's the one that says you wish to win the regard of your fellows by serving them." Early In April an Indian scare spread from the capital to the remotest corners of the state. Black Hawk, with many warriors, had crossed the Mississippi and was moving toward the Rock River country. Governor Reynolds called for volunteers to check the invasion. Abe, whose address to the voters had been printed in the Sangamon Journal, joined a volunteer company and soon became its captain. On the tenth of April he and Harry Needles left for Richland to go Into training. Samson was eager to go, by£ could not leave his family. Bim Kelso rode out into the fields where Harry was at work the day before he went away. "I'm going away," the boy said, In a rather m6urnful tone. I hate to have you go. I just love to know you're, here, If I don't see you. Only I wish you wjgs older and knew more." There was half a moment of silence. She ended it by saying: Ann and I are going to the spelling school tonight." "Can I go with you?" "Could you stand it to be talked to and saslded by a couple of girls till you didn't care what happened to you?" "Yes; I've got to be awful careless." "We'll be all dressed up and ready at quarter of eight. Come to the tavern. I'm going to have supper with Ann. She is just terribly happy. John McNeil has told her that he love* her. It's a secret. Don't you tell." "I won't. Does she love him?* "Devotedly; but she wouldn't let him know it--not yet. I reckon he'll be plumb anxious before she owns up. But she truly loves him. She'd die for him." "Girls are awful curious--nobody can tell what they mean," said Harry. "Sometimes they don't know what they mean themselves. Often I say something or do something and wonder and wonder what It means. Did you ever ride a horse sitting backwards-- when you're going one way and looking another and you don't know what's coming?" she asked. What's behind you is before you and the faster you go the more danger you're In?" Harry laughed. ^sn't that the way we have to travel in this world, whether we're going to love or to mill?" the girl asked, with & sigh. "We cannot tell what is ahead. We see only what is behind us. It is very sad." Harryotooked at Bim. He saw the tragic truth of the words and suddenly her face was like them. Unconsciously In the midst of her playful talk this thing had fallen. He did not know what to make Of it "I feel sad when I think of Abo," said Harry. "He don't know what la ahead of him, I guess. I heard Mrs. Traylor say that he was In love with Ann." "I reckon ha Is, but he don't know how to show It. He's never told her. II reckon he's mighty good, but he don't know how to love a alrL (TO BE CONTINUED.) APRON WORN AS ORNAMENT Women of Czech o-Slovakla Don Gar* ment With a View of Attracting Masculine Eye*. In the villages and country portions tof Czechoslovakia the women do not wear aprons as a badge of work. On the contrary the Czecho-Slovakia maid does not put her apron on when she enters the house--she dons it only when she is going out to capture the eye of some swain who long has paid her court. And these aprons usually are heirlooms. Green is the favorite color. Next in popularity come gold or yellow, sliver, pink, blue, cerise and flaming rose. Usually the embroideries which display these colors are upon dark foundations. Some, however, are white. In both types gay ribbons sometimes play a part. And often the white mutton sleeves of the waists are gayly embroidered to complete the radiant effect the wearer's apron lends as she strolls down the street or along the country lane. Their skirts are usually black and always short. Their stockings are for protection in their walks as well as for display. Some have small, bright designs knitted into the dull black. The waist-length jackets they wear are usually quite plain, save for the handmade lace around the bust and on the sleeves. The head shawls sound the varying color note. But It Is In the aprons that the love of color Is mors clearly shown.

So when the circus came to town Dad the Magnificent said there could be a box party, and added to the thrill by volunteering to escort hia daughter and her little playmates to see the wonders of the greatest show. During the very first part some bright eye chanced to discover a balloon vender.
