Kindness to His Stepmother.

As soon as Abraham got little up in
the world he began to send his step
mother money and continued to do so
until his own death. At the close of
the Black Hawk war Mr.. Lincoln went
to see her for a few days, and after
ward, when a lawyer making the cir
cults with the courts, he visited her
and his father whenever the necessities
of his practice brought him to their
neighborhood He did his best to serve
Mrs. Lincoln and her son John, but
took little notice of his father, although
he wrote him an exhortation to believe
In God when he thought he was dying.
Abe left the Lincoln family late in
March or early in April He did not go
far away, but took Jobs wherever he
could get them, showing that he had
separated himself from the family not
merely to rove, but to labor and be an
Independent man. He made no engage
ment Of a permanent character during
this summer. His work was all done
by the job. All this while he chung
close to John Hanks and either worked
where he did or not far away. In the
winter following he was employed by
Major Warrick to make rails and
walked daily three miles to his work
and three miles back again.

John Hanks, cor, rather, to Macon (my

While this boat was loading at Gen

Ohio, Abe saw a great deal of the pret-

as you call it. The sun, as to us, is

thoroughly satisfied that Abe knew the
general laws of astronomy and the
movements Of the heavenly bodies. He
was better read then than the world
knows or is likely to know exactly. No
man could talk to me that night as he
did unless he had known something of
geography as well as astronomy. He
often and often commented or talked
to me about what he had read-seemed

learned boy among us unlearned folks.
He took great pains to explain; could
do it SO simply. He was diffident then
too"
The trip of Gentry and Lincoln was
very profitable one, and Mr. Gentry.
Sr., was highly gratified by the result.
Abe displayed his genius for mercan-
tile affairs by handsomely putting off
on the innocent folks along the river
some counterfeit money which
shrewd fellow had imposed upon Allen.
Allen thought his father would be an
CRY with him for suffering himself to
be cheated, but Abe consoled him with
the reflection that the "old man"
wouldn't care how much bad money
they took In the course of business II
they only brought the proper amount of
good money home.
AT Madam Bushane's plantation, six
miles below Baton Rouge, they had
an adventure which reads strangely
enough In the life of the great emanci-
pator. The boat was tied up to the
shore, In the dead hours OF the night.
and Abe and Allen were fast asleep In
the cabin In the stern. when they
were startled by footsteps on board.
They knew instantly that II was a
gang of negroes come to rob and per
haps to murder them. Allen, thinking
to frighten the intruders. cried out:
Bring the guns, Lincoln. Shoot them"
Abe came without gun. but he fell
among the negroes with a huge blud
geon and belabored them most cruelty.
Not content with beating them off the
boat, he and Gentry followed them far
back into the country and then. run
ming back to their craft. hastily cut
loose and r1ade rapid time down the
river fearing lest they should return
in greater numbers to take revenge.
The victory was complete. but In win

CHAPTER III.
Lincoln Starts Out In the World For
Himself.

BE and Gentry returned from
~ New Orleans some time in
"a June, 1928, having been gone
not quite three months. How
much longer he remained in the service
of Gentry, or whether he remained at
all, we are unable to say, but he soon
took up his old habits and began 20
work around among MS nefgnDors or
for his father, precisely as he had done
before he got his partial glimpse of the
great world down the river.
In the fall of 1929 Mr. Wood saw him
cutting down large tree In the woods
and whlpsawing it into planks. Abe
said the lumber was for new house
his father was about to build, but
Thomas Lincoln changed his mind be-
fore the house was half done, and Abe
sold his plank to Josiah Crawford, "the
book man." who worked them into the
southeast room of his house, where
relic seekers have since cut pieces from
them to make canes.
In truth, the continued prevalence of
that dreadful disease, the milk sick
ness was more than sufficient rea-
son for new removal now In contem-
platlon by Thomas Lincoln. 1t was IN
awful scourge, and common prudence
suggested fight. In the spring of 1880,
before the winter had fairly broken up,
Thomas and Abe, Dennis Hanks and
Levi Hall, with their respective fami-
lies, thirteen in all, took the road for
Illinois. John Hanks had gone to the
new country from Kentucky in the fall
of 1928 and settled near Decatur,
whence he wrote Thomas Lincoln all
about it and advised him to Come there.
Lincoln sold his farm to Gentry and
his corn and hogs to Dave Turnham.
The corn brought only 10 cents bush
ell, and, according to the price list fur

In February. 1881, Mr. Denton
Offutt wanted to engage John Hanks
to take fatboat to New Orleans.

ness, but Offutt came to the house and
would take no denial; made much of

length persuaded him to present the
