Llncoln,s CareIessness.

When Lincoln was postmaster OF
New Salem he used to tuck the letters
inside his hat and deliver them when
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they were addressed. As this
is a fair example OF his business Sys-
tern, it may readily be imagined that
the office of Stuart x Lincoln was not
model establishment, where there
was a place for everything and every
thing i'm its place. And it was not In
deed, as a managing clerk the junior
partner would have been hopeless
failure and as an attorney, ia the
technical sense of the term. he would
never have distinguished himself He
dls1kcd every thing connected with the
drudgery of legal routine, hated draw
ing the declarations and pleas despised
the aruhcialues and rehnemeuts which
were even then beginning TO creep into
the pleaulugs1 and dlsregardsdE forms
whenever it was possible TO do so.
There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else, or methodlcal about the man, and
in all those housewifely virtues which
characterized the careful orderly, eX-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient.
He never knew where his papers We're,
and apparently the only attempt he
ever made to better the disorder was
TO write on one of his bundles of papers
which Uttered his desk, when you
can't find 1t anywhere else, look i'm
this. But that was long after the firm
of Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved and
even then We find him explaining 10 al
correspondent that he had LACED his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering it, which shows he
had not wholly Outgr0wn the hal bit of
his pOstOfhCe days. Indeed, his hat
continued to be his faVOrite receptacle
for papers as long as he lived, and he
never acquired any sense of order

letter 1t was brief but dutiful and even affection
ate. After a slight reproach that he should have
been kept IN ignorance of the apprehensOns enter
tanned about the Kings health the Prince requested
an audience within the next two days. he had
considerations which it was his duty to lay before
His Majesty and he firmly but respectfully claimed
father that essential to His Majesty's obtain
ing true appreciation of his views The hit at
Stenovcs plain enough, and the Prince did not
labor it. The letter ended there, with express
sion of earnest concern for the Kings health
There was no word in it about starting his
journey
Then Markart told his story-not that he had
much to tell In essence he added only that the
Prince purposed to await the Kings answer at
Praslok Nor to him had the Prince said word
about starting on his journey.
On this point Stenovics seized, pursuant, no
doubt, to the plan devised in that preliminary
discussion with the other two members of the little
cotere. " 1t is remarkable, sir-even more than
remarkable-that His Royal Highness makes no
reference at all to the direct command which
Your Majesty was pleased to issue to him." he
observed.
The King listened, puzzled and rather distressed
Yes, it isn't proper, it isn't respectful But now
that my son knows of the state of my health, |
think must see him. 1t seems unnatural to refuse
After all it may be the last time since he's going
this journey"
But is the Prince going on his journey, SIR"
asked Stenovics. % Does the studied silence of his
letter augur well for his obedence Doesn't he
seek an interview in order to persuade Your Maj
esty against your better judgment? | must be
pardoned freedom of speech. Great interests
at stake" The last words true enough,
though not in the sense in which the King was
meant to understand them.
My knows how near this matter is to my
heart; | shall be able to persuade him to do his
duty said the King
The first round of the fight was going against
the coterie. They did not want the King to
his SON Danger lay there The Princes was the
stronger character it might well prevail and they
no longer certain that the Prince knew or
guessed nothing of their hopes and intentions

with a question, which she put with a sheer
Did no other reason for the Princes unwilling
out his journey suggest itself to Cap
tain Markart from what he at Praslok ,?
The King turned sharply round to her, then to
MaTkart We'll he asked the latter
Markart sadly embarrassed.
Who at Prasok?" asked the Countess.
Madam Zerkovitch, and her husband for
night and Baroness Dobrava.'
Yes Baroness Dobrava!
She is st Il there?" asked the King Helooked
perpleXed, even vexed, but again he smiled. He
looked at Stenovics and Stafnitz but this time he
found no responsive smiles Their faces were
deadly serious. Oh come, well-well, that's not
serious. Natural perhaps; but the Prince has
sense of duty. He will see that that won't do And
We'll send the Baroness a hint-we1 tell her how
much we miss her at Slavna. He tried to make
them answer his smile and accept his smoothing
away of the difficulty. 1t all failure.
