sAntywine, who had suffered. but was
unable to fight, resting like log at
the hearth corner. III
carefully shut the door as he went out
to settle the unconscious boys fate.
The self-appointed censors Of the
Grove had once wrecked a store in New
Salem, and kicked the merchandise
about the street. The population of
the village was about 100 souls, few
of whom could be mustered as fight
ing men; while the Grove males were
all fighting men. .''.,s->. i
The night was starlit and cloudless,
but there was no moon. Dull panes of
oiled paper revealed candles in some
houses, but a hush like expectation
seemed to stretch along the unseen
windings of the street. When the Grove
boys mounted for raid of any sort
they usually rode at full gallop, yelling
like Indians. Lincoln was ahead of
Sticky Green in the race to the tavern,
when both stopped, halted by a pro-
cession with lanters. There had been
no noise OF shouting and no crash of
destruction. The quiet approach of the
company seemed worse than it's ordi-
nary rioting.
They didn't stop at the tavern!'
whispered Sticky Green.
They had been to the tavern, for Dick
Yates, bareheaded, was leading them
peacefully away from it, walking in
front OF the cavalcade; and a girls
figure could be discerned sitting upon
led horse. The velvet dust of a
village road muffled the tread of hoofs.
But along house fronts on each side,
where foOtpaths were marked by daily
use, sounded the uneven patter of
many feet. Men, women and children
of New Salem, suffered to witness what
they could not prevent, were lowering
around Lincoln and the little Spaniard.
He thought he saw Ann Rutledge, in
her short-sleeved house dress, her face
showing white and anxious through
the dark; and Minter Grayham, whose
haggaraness and puny strength the
Grove boys would have laughed at il
opposed to them.
Here is Abe Lincoln" announced
Yates; and as if he had given a COM
mand to halt, the company halted.
Here I am" said Lincoln. "Do
you want me?" Dick and Sticky stood
beside him in the middle of the road.
"My friends and T. spoke a voice
with foreign accent, have an af-
fair of two minutes with you. You
have somewhere a snakeskin purse
belonging to my cousin, Consuelo
Lorimer. Bring it and you shall not
be injured
But if I did she'd be injured!" e..

of the riders. II will not go! Where's

The Fate of Andre.

Along with the other recent revivals
o. interest in various important per-
sonages who have played prominent
part in the building of the nations, or
the making of books, during the past
few centuries there comes as the latest
an Andre revival. 1t is barely possible
that this may be traced to the enter
prise OF CLYDE Fitch. who has written a
play based upon the career Of the un-
ecuted as spy. but whatever the origin.
it is certain that writer's for the papers
and magazines are taking up the sub
ject and re-opening the old question of
the justice OF the sentence of death i'm
poset; upon Major Andre.
Some who enter the discussion argue
that he was merely victim of circum-
stances. and that great wrong was
done when he was put to death. Such
persons cannot have read their histories
very carefully, for in all the American
histories of the Revolutionary period
which have any standing. Major Andre
Is given very fair treatment, and yet
the bare recital of the facts show that
the Americans could do nothing else
than put the gallant British officer to
death. He was captured within the
American line in disguise, attempting
to make his way back to the enemy
BY the rules of war he knew that the
moment he assumed the disguise he DE-
came a spy, and he knew the fate of a
spy.
All other considerations Of his being
within our lines were overcome by the
fact of his discarding his British uni
form and assuming a disguise. That OF
course put his life in jeopardy, but he
took it because he believed it was less
dangerous to the favorable information
he had secured from the traitor, Rene

To Protect the President.

One Of the first bills introduced at the
special session, and one which is receiv-
ing wide attention from the press OF the
country, is that Of Congressman Little
field OF Maine. imposing the death
penalty for the crime Of killing a Presi-
dent, vice-president, or any ambas-
sador, and for imposition OF fine and
Imprisonment for teaching anarchlstic
doctrines, and for consriring to kill the
ruler Of any foreign country. The new
law which this bill proposes is in. line
with the recommendation made by
President Roosevelt in his message to
the 5,th Congress. A similar bill was
introduced at the last session. but con-
stitut;onal lawyers in the Senate got
to wrangling over some of the details of
, ito provisions with the result that it
was s;.le-tracked instead Of being passed
as it should have been. 1t was a
delicate matter for President Roosevelt
to recommend such law, because a
certain class of his enemies would seek
to make capital out CT it by asserting
that he was afraid Of his life, an de-
sired a body guard. But the American
people generally are anxious for every
possible protection that can be given
our President, and those in line of sue
f@.o <o hn nd
there may be no possible loophole of es-
cape for the nurderers of President,
or for those who spread the poison of
anarctistic doctrines.
Three times within the memory Of
man the ruler of this free country has
beer stricken down in death by the
hand Of an assassin, a record unparal-
'e'led in any other country on the
earth. Congress should leave nothing
undone which will tend to prevent an
other such terrible calamity from fall
.ng upon oui country. AS it is now, the
murderer of President or an anarchis-
tic agitator is subject only to the laws
of the state in which the crime is COM
mitted. Thus, if President Mckinley
had beer murder in Maine, instead of
New York, his assassin could not have
been put to death but would have been
sent to Thomaston for life. All that
the new law proposes is that the killing
of President shall be made punishable
by death by the laws of the United
States. This will make the crime
triable in the federal courts and will
take such a matter wholly out Of the
halds of the local and state authorities.
Surely there should be law applica-
BILE throughout the entire country i'm
posing the severest penalty known in
civilized society for the murderer of a
President. It is hard to see how there
can be anv opposition to Mr.. Little
ields bill in Congress. 1t cannot too
soon become a law.
