SOME ANONYMOUS BOOKS

the world which at the time created a
considerable sensation. This book was
a novel, smart and original in every
way and many were the conjectures as
to the authorship of it. At one time it
was seriously thought by several who
were really 'in the know" that the
Prince of Wales had written this book,
and consequently H. R. H. was daily
asked whether he was the author.

AN EARLY ADVENTURE
OF ROBERT LINCOLN

From a Series of Personal Recoflec-
lions of Abraham Lincoln, by an
Old NeiGhbor of His. in Frank
| LesIie's Popular Monthly for Au-
! gust.
while my brother-in-law, Mr.. Boyn-
| ton, was in the hardware business in
| Springfield, Lincoln's son, Robert, then
| a boy of ten or twelve, entered the
store one day with another boy of his
| own age. The lads had quantity Of
| Lead pipe, which they wished TO SELL
| A bargain was made, and the money
| paid over to the boys, with no questions
| asked. Later in the day. however, Mr..
Lincoln was visited at his home by
the owner of house which was under
going repairs, and informed that his
son Robert had stolen a quantity of
| lead pipe from the place, which the
owner desired to either have paid for or
returned.
Mr. Lincoln was shocked. He called
tons, took the boy by the arm and
marched him down to the store. When
they entered Mr.. Lincoln was looking
very stern.
"Mr. Boynton," said he, did my son
Robert sell you some lead pipe to-
day."
| my brother-in-law was greatly en-
barrassed. Everybody in Springfield
knew Abraham Lincoln. His honesty
and integrity were never questioned,
and the idea that his son would steal
was highly improbable. Mr.. Boynton
had, however, been notified in some
manner that the pipe was stolen prop
erty. Nevertheless, he did not want
| to implicate the son of Abraham Lin
| coin, so he said
| "'Ahem,-er-well, Mr.. Lincoln, let
me see. No; l don't think it was your
boy who brought that pipe in here.
He don't look like the boy
There was tin shop at the rear of
| the store, and just as my brother-in-
law was congratulating himself that
young Lincoln would get out Of the
scrape, the sharp voice of the tinsmith
exclaimed:
eyes, it's, too. That's the chap
that Lincoln boy, and another one
about his size. remember EN-
''Mr Lincoln drew out his pocket
book and laid bill upon the counter OF
the place.
"'Please let me have that pipe, Mr..
Boynton.' he said.
"The pipe was accordingly brought
out. Mr.. Lincoln placed it across Rob-
ert's shoulders. The two then left the
store.
ut was an extremely hot day, and
Robert Lincoln was barefooted. The
store stood in a sort of square, which
was paved with brick. These bricks
had become heated by the sun, and
| produced an uncomfortable feeling to
Roberts feet, as his father, with long
strides, led him across the square. The
| boy danced along, first on one foot
and then on the other. Suddenly he ex-
| claimed:
Say, pa, can't stand these hot
| bricks on my bare feet. Les git over
| in the shade
| Lincoln senior looked down at the
boy with a quizzical smile, then dryly
| replied
| Well, my son, you'd better get used
to the heat. If you ever steal any more
lead pipe, you'll go to a place that's
hotter than these bricks are.
