A Man for the Ages A Story of the Builders of Democracy <y? * 'ij JS : • •&:• By IRVING BACHELLER '• r~t& . -A j^£2Iii|iSSuj^i^^3BsSB5Sa£ l:\-/ ••••<% mpHA^ TER XXIII--Continued. --22-- " . i/tbout this time Miss Mary Todd,"£5e laughter of a Kentucky banker, arrived in Springfield to visit her sister, Mrs. Nlnian W. Edwards. She waf.a fashionably dressed, good-looking girl Of bluo-gray eyes nnd dark hair. "Well, Mary, haven't you found the fortunate young man yet?" Mr. Edwards playfully asked the day of her toflilng. "You ktitfer, my husband Is going to be President of the United States and I hoped that I would find him In Springfield,* Mary answered In a like veto. •There's great fishing here," said Mr. Edwards. "I know the very than you are looking for. He has come up from the ranks and is now the most popular member of the legislature. He can make a stirring speech and they say he Is going to be the President of the United States. He's wise and witty and straight as a string, but a rough diamond--big, awkward and homely. You're just the girl to take him in hand and give him a little polish and push him along. His name is Abraham Lincoln." Speed knew tbe Todd*. When he called upon Mary she aske^t about Mr. Lincoln and said she would like to Beet him. "She's Just the girl for you, Abe," Speed said to him that evening. "She la bright and well educated and her family has Influence. She could be a great help to you." This interested the member from Sangamon county, who was Indeed eager to get along. The companionship of a refined young lady was Che very thing he needed. "Let's go over and pay our respects to h#r" SnMd piiwaiiiad. TTjey Lincoln being carefully dressed In hit first suit of black clothes. Miss Todd was a bright, vivacious girl of middle stature, twenty-two years old. She was fashionably dressed and carried her head proudly--a smart-looking, witty. well spoken girl, but not especially handsome. Honest Abe was deeply impressed by her talk and fine manners and general comeliness. He Celt her grace and charm and spoke of It with enthusiasm. . But to him and to her there seemed to be an impassable gulf between them. She changed her mind about that, however, when she heard htm speak and felt the power of his personality and saw his face lighted by the candle of his spirit It was a handsome face In those moments of high elation. Hardship and malarial poison had lined and sallowed his skin. The shadows of loneliness and sorrow were In its sculpturing. But when his eyes glowed with passion one saw not the rough mask which the life of tbe pioneer had given him. His form lost Its awkwardness; his face took on a noble and impressive beauty. Ito quote his own words to the boy, Joslah Traylor, his character was speaking MAvell as his lips. Mary had the insight to recognize his power. She felt the strength of his spirit She agreed with her friends that here was a man of great promise. She felt the need tt him. To one who loved beauty and respected women as he did, the grace •Ad refinement of this young lady had > singular appeal, coupled, as it was, 'with the urge of his strong, masculine Mture. It was a revelation. He was like a young poet going out into the open and seeing for the first time the mysterious beauty of the mountains or "the exquisite, delicate, thin curve of the new moon in spring." He began to seek and study refinement of thought, of manner, of dress, of expression. He knew that he needed Mary, but had the feeling that she Was not for him. A woman who lived near tbe Edwards' house had a small, hairy poodle dog. One day, as Abe and Mary were walking along the street, they bet this woman, who asked If they had seen her dog. "I wouldn't wonder If some one down the street had got him tied to the end of a pole and 1? using him to swab off his windows," said Abe Lincoln with a good-natured laugh. "I'll try to And him for you." ' _jMat$ enjoyed fun and this and like •sillies ot the young legislator added H certain zest to their friendship. Women are Hke children In their love of humor. The diminutive Douglas saw In Miss Todd an asset of much value and his birch were not for him. It saddened him to conclude that he would have to be for a lttog time Just what he was --crude, awkward, unlearned In the graces and amenities of cultivated people. He rightly judged that his crudeness would be a constant source of irritation to the proud Mary. As their acquaintance progressed the truth of his conviction grew more apparent. This, however, did not so much concern him as her lack of sympathy with some of his deepest motives, He decided that, after all, be did not love her and that to marry her would be committing a great wrong. Some of the unhapplest days of his life followed. His conscience gave him no $?st. He knew not what to do. He wrote a letter to Miss Todd in which i.he reviewed the history of his thinking on the subject of their marriage and frankly but tenderly stated his conviction that It would Imperil her happiness to marry him. Before sending It he submitted the letter to his friend Speed. The latter read It over and looked very grave. "What do you think of ltT" Lincoln asked. ^ "I would never send a letter like that to a lady," Speed answered. "If you feel as you say, go and tell her so, but don't put it in a letter." Lincoln went to see her that evening and returned to his friend in a more cheerful mood. "Did you tell herf Speed asked. "Yes, I told her." "What happened?" "She burst out crying and I threw my arms around her and kissed her and that settled It. We are going to married." at an illustration of the humanity biiu chivalry of Honest Abe was in tbe proceeding I 'Tin sure you'll get along all right together," said Speed. "Your spirit is jealous of any one likely to get In Its wsy. But die wont She'll fall In line and do what die can to help yon." Now, a little before this time, Henry Brimstead and other creditors of Davis had gone to Chicago in the matter of the satisfaction of their judgment against him. Henry had driven a wagon across the prairies and, returning, had brought Bim and her mother to his home and then to Springfield. It was while they were there that Harry had come down to Chicago out of the woods In a condition of health which had alarmed his physician. The latter had put him on a steamboat and sent him East He was bound for the mountain country In northern New York. Bim and her mother returned to Chicago on the stage, the former to and its courage and of good air had wrought a change of which the able doctor had had little hope In the beginning. In his travels through the great forest Harry had met David Parish and Stephen Van Renssalaer, at whose homes on the shore of the St Lawrence he bad spent many a happy summer day. Three years had passed since that fateful morning on the prairie. Through the winters he had lived in a comfortable hunter's camp on the shore of Lake Placid. Summers he had wandered with a guide and canoe Whleli Describes a Piunni HelWtay and a fretty Stratagem. x Two days later Bim suggested t&at they should take a day's ride in the <>l»en and spend the night at the home <>f a friend of hers In a settlement known as Plain's End, Harry having expressed a wish cto get out on the prairies In the saddle after his long term of travel ou a steamboat. "Are you sure that you can stand an all day's Journey?" Bim asked. "I! I could kill a bear with my hands and carry him home on my back and eat him for dinner," tbe young man boasted. •Tve got enough of the wild West in me to like a man who can eat bears, if there's nothing better," said Bim. "I didn't know but you'd been spoiled In the home of those eastern millionaires. If you're willing to take what comes and make the best of It, I'll give you a day that you will remember. You will have to put up with a very simple hospitality^ but I wouldn't wonder if you'd enjoy it." "We will leave here day after tomorrow. Our horses will be at the door at eight o'clock in the morning, through the lakes and rivers of the j We shall take some luncheon and Attentions began to be assiduous.

Harry was three years In the wilderness trying to regain his health Success came to him in the last year of his banishment Toward tbe end of it he received a letter from Mr. Lincoln. It was written soon after that curious climax in the courting of Mary Todd. In this wilderness hunting and fishing and reading the law books which he had borrowed from fudge Fine of Ogdensburg. Each summer he worked down the Osvegatchie to that point for a visit with his new friends. The history of every week had been written to Bim and her letters had reached him at the points where he was wont to rest In his travels. The lovers had not lost their ardor. Theirs was the love "that hopes and endures and is patient" i, On a day in June, 1841, he boarded a steamboat at Ogdensburg on his way to Chicago. He arrived in tbe evening and found Samson at the home of Bim and her mother--a capacious and well-furnished house on Dearborn street. Bim was then a little over twenty-five years old. A letter from John Wentworth says thst she was "an exquisite bit of womanhood learned in the fine arts of speech &nd dress and manner." The store had doubled in sise under her management and with the help of the capital of Samson and Sarah Traylor. The epidemic had seized ber toward the last of her nursing and left the marks of its scourge upon her. It had marred her beauty, but Samson writes, "the girl was still very handsome. She was kind of scared to meet Harry for fear of what he'd think of those little marks on her face, bat I told her not to worry." "You are the smartest and loveliest looking creature that I ever saw in my life," said Harry after he had held her In his arms a moment "But see what happened to me-- look at my face," she answered. "It is more beautiful than ever," he Bald. "Those marks have doubled my love for you. They are medals of honor better than this one that I wear. I want to marry you as soon as possible. I've been looking forward to that since I was sixteen." "Then I think 111 take you and marry you before you have a chance to fight another duel." "I don't hear anything but love and marriage," said Samson. "We've been rassling down at our house to keep Josiah from running off and getting married. He's engaged already." "Engaged 1 To whom?" Harry asked. "To Annabel Brimstead. She's a little older than he is. She laughed at him and promised to marry him as soon as he was nominated for President by all his friends. She would now vote for him herself. He has become a good athlete and the best scholar in school. He has every boy and girl In the village working for him evenings and Saturdays." What are they doing?" Harry asked. "Making those newfangled things they call lucifers. You can build a fire In a second with 'em. They cut splinters out of soft wood, dip their ends In brimstone--which Joe learned how to make--and put them in a hot oven until the brimstone is baked. Then a scratch will bring a flame. Joe puts them up In bundles and sells them to the merchants and calls them lucifer matches. He has Invented a machine that will cut and dip a thousand splinters an hour. I tell you, Annabel Is In danger." He took a lucifer out of his pocket and scratched It on the bottom of his boot. The party looked with wonder at its flame which quickly consumed tbe slender thread of pine In his fingers. "I have always thought that Joe would make a whale of a man," said Harry. We all seem to be threatened with immediate and overwhelming happiness," Bim exclaimed. reach our destination late in the afternoon and return next day. It will give us a good long visit with each other and you'll know me better before we get back." "I want to know you as well as I love you," he said. "I suppose it will be like studying law--one never gets through with It" Tve found myself a rather abstruse subject--as bad as Coke, of which Abe used to talk so much with 'my father," she declared. "I shall be glad If It doesn't discourage you." (TO BE CONTINUED.) PARROT MADE MUCH TROUBLE Abilities W Brooklyn Bird Entirely Unappreciated by the Women off, the Neighborhood. For several weeks past young women passing along Hanson place have been much annoyed by loud whistling, apparently coming from someone who wished to attract their attention. The whistling has had a most peculiar effect, depending on the temperament of the-women. Some have quickened their pace and tried to get away; others have turned and surveyed the man who happened to be behind with flushed faces and angry glances. One or two have even complained to tbe police, while a few have lagged to find out what It was all about. Recently a highly Indignant wwhan complained to a policeman. "That man behind me has been whistling to attract my attention for five minutes," she said. "I wish yon would stop it." Much to her amazement the police* man laughed unrestrainedly. He pointed with his hand to a window opposite the Hanson Place Baptist church and there sat the culprit, winking and whistling away. It was a gray parrot with a long red tall. He had learned to whistle like a mischievous country boy, but he reserved his tricks for the women passing. For some time the flirtatious parrot has upset the equsnimity of the entire neighborhood.--Brooklyn Eagle.

"Harry, your credit Is still good with me, and I'm prosperous," Samson began. "I want you to know that Blm's energy and skill are mostly responsible for my success. I guess we owe more to your sickness than you're aware of. If It hadn't been for that we would be plodding along at the same old pace. We would not have felt the need of speeding up.

The maids who assisted in it were usually Qreek slaves, and the length of time devoted to it may be Judged from the fact that, like beauties of France so many centuries later, the Roman woman often had the poets and the philosophers of the day to divert her during its progress, a favor of which they seem to have been less appreciative than their descendants in France. The equipment for the toilette was both elaborate and complete. Combs, mirrors of burnished bronze, bottles for perfumes and boxes for rouge and whitening preparations are all to be found in collections of Roman toilette articles, and many are tbe harsh words on the subject of the feminine toilette to be found In the writings of their masculine contemporaries who disapproved of charm in their women, yet seem with masculine inconsistency to have disapproved equally of women without 'charm.
