LlNcoLN's FAIRNESS.

1t Was One of His Strongest TrnItr>
Governing Every Action of Life.
General Taylor was triumphantly
elected, and 1t then became Lincoln's
duty, as Whfg member Of Congress from
Illinois, to recommend certain persons
to fill government offices in that State.
He did this after he returned to Spring
field, for his term In Congress ended on
March 4, 1S49, the day that General
Taylor became President. The letters
that he sent to Washington when for
warding the papers and applications of
people who wished appointment were
both characteristic and amusing; for
In his desire not to mislead or to do
injustice to any man, they were very
apt to say more in favor of the men
he did not wish to see appointed than
in recommendation of his own partlc-
ular candidates.
This absolute and Impartial fairness
to friend and foe alike was one OF his
strongest traits, governing every action
Of his life. If 1t had not been for this,
he might possibly have enjoyed another
term in Congress, for there had been
confession to Speed that "being elected
to Congress, though 1 am very grateful
to our friends for having done it. has
not pleased me AS much as l expected
this must have been flattering. But
there were many able young men In
Springfield who coveted the honor, and
they had entered into an agreement
among themselves that each would be
content with single term. Lincoln Of
course remained faithful to his prom
ise His strict keeping of promises
caused him also to lose an appointment
from President Taylor as Commissioner
of the General Land Office which might
easily have been his. but for which he
had agreed, to recommend some other
Illinois man. A few weeks later the
President offered to make him Governor
Of the new Territory OF Oregon. This
attracted him much more than the 9th
err office, but he declined because his
wife was unwilling to live In place 30
| far away
His career In Congress proved OF
great advantage to him In after life,
having given him a close knowledge OF
| the workings Of the Federal Govern
ment. and brought him into contact
with political leaders from all parts Of
| the Union.-St- Nicholas.

of me. You may think me dull, but
had no suspicion of the truth.
If l had only known.
We all Travelled to London together,
taking rooms for the night at the Char-
ing Cross Hotel; for though Graden had
chambers in the Albany, he preferred
that we should not be separated. IL was
here that Resk Joined us. Sorrow hao
burnt it's mark upon the Polish Inn
keeper. His thin, handsome features
were vet more drawn; and though his
courtly manner was unchanged, an alien
ferocity lurked in his dark, reflective
eyes, 1t would not go well with the
murderer of his only son If he should
meet him face to face. So l thought as
he stood before US, his hat raised, bowling
us welcome.
At nine-forty on the following morn
ing, we were gathered in little group
on the departure platform. Graden, VINO

his daughter were to leave their hotel
at Prontresina, even for walk, without
the escort of the Pole.

cousin; "but it is well to be cautious

We saw her handkerchief huttering

had hidden from myself rushed over me,
SO that l stood with staring eyes, per-

Five days before the great storm
struck Pensacola and Mobile In Septem-
Der Its existence and progress were ar
nounced by the weather bureau In these
words: "A tropical disturbance was
reported Saturday afternoon as devel-
oping south of the Grand Cayman,
probable direction northwest by way
of Yucatan channel.~ The next day
Its passage through the channel into
the Gulf was noted, and Its presence
in the Gulf was reported the day after
On Sept. rs, the fourth day, the fore
cast said that 1t seemed probable that
the storm would be felt somewhere De-
the west coast Of Florida within TWEEN
ty-four or thirty-six hours. 1t reached
Pensacola the next day, and on the
sixth day news of the great damage
done In Pensacola and Mobile was tel
egraphed all over the country. Resi-
dents In the Gulf ports gave little heed
to the warnings, and many lives and
much property were consequently lost.
Similar conditions prevailed at the time
Of the inundation Of Galveston. The
people were warned of the storm, but
went about their business as usual
1t Is not possible to beat back the sea
when 1t is dashed into fury, but ship
ping can be anchored m a safe harbor.
and persons and property in exposed
positions can be removed to places Of
greater safety. The weather bureau
was not established to give employ
ment to various persons who liked to
amuse themselves by making guesses
about the approach of storms. 1t Is
conducted by practical and experienced
men trained In the science of meteor
ology. Their predictions are based on
well-established principles, indicated
by long series Of experiments. An err
roneous forecast Is the exception, and
Is due to the appearance of unexpected
forces to defect air currents and
change barometric pressure. Nearly, If
not quite, all great storms are foretold
many hours, and sometimes many days,
In advance. 1t is much safer to heed
the warnings of the weather bureau
than to laugh at them. The farmer
who cuts his hay when pleasant days
are predicted Is more likely to get II
cured and safely under cover than his
neighbor who Ignores the daily bulle
tins from Washington.

CHAPTER XIII.

1t was about four o'clock on a Satur-
day afternoon, the fifth day of our visit,
that Miss Weston and j entered it from
the seward side. We had taken a sharp
walk to the Bredairs Strand, where the
famous caves are situated, and were re-
turning to tea. We came upon them at
an angle Of the thicket-a man and a
woman seated on a fallen log in eager
conversation. Miss Weston held up a
warning hand to me, with amusement
twinkling In her eyes.
"Oh, Mr.. Harlandw she whispered,

Fifteen boys whose ages ranged from

Club at Stroudsburg, Pa. recently and
created some excitement by starting
out for the purpose of robbing and
