The Parents of Abraham Lincoln

Among the many wrongs OF history
and they are legion~~there is none
in our American chapter at least which
Is greater than that which has been
done the parents, and particularly the
mother Of Abraham Lincoln, or course
refer to the widespread tradition
that Lincoln was born of that class
known in The South AS poor whites"
that his father was net Thomas Lin
coin as his hiographers insist on de-
claring, but rich and cultured plant
er OF another State than Kentucky.
and that his mother not only gave
fatherless hoy into the world, but her
self was nameless child. The tradi-
tion has always lacked particularly.
For instance there has been a large
difference OF opinion about the planter
who fathered. Abraham, who he was

book was published In North Caro-
lima to prove that Lincoln's father wos
resident Of that State. The bulk OF
the testimony offered In this instance
came from men and women who had
been born long after Abraham Lincoln,
had never seen him, and never heard
the tale they repeated until long after
his election to the Presidency. or the
truth of these statements as to Lin
coins origin( no proof has ever been
produced. They were rumors ,iilu-
gently spread in the first place by
those who for political purposes were
glad TO belittle a political opponent.
They grew with telling, and. curiously
enough, two OF Lineoln's best friends
helped to perpstuate them-Messrs.
Lamon and Herndon-both OF whom
wrote lives OF the President which are
of great interest and value. But neith-
er of these men were student and
they did not take the trouble to look
for records of Mr.. Lincoln's birth.
They accepted rumors AMI enlarged
upon them. Indeed, II was not until
perhaps twenty-five years ago that the
matter was taken up seriously and an
Investigation begun. This has been
going on at intervals every since, until
] venture to say that few persons born
In a pioneer community, as Lincoln
was, and as early as 1909, have their
lineage on both sides as clearly estab-
lished as that of Abraham Lincoln.
1t takes, indeed, a most amazing cred
ulity for any one to believe the stories
have alluded to after having looked
at the records Of the family Lincoln.
backed by the record in the
Lincoln family bible, is the first au-
thority or the time ana the place of
his birth as we'll as the name Of his {
father and mother. The father, Thom-
as Lincoln, far from being a poor
white" was the son of a prosperous
Kentucky pioneer, a man of honorable

comes rom Virginia, as a friend Of j
Daniel Boone, and mad bought large
tracts of land and begun to grow up
with the country, where he was killed q
by the Indians. He left a large family.
By the law Of Kentucky the estate 7
went mainly to the oldest son, and the |
Thomas Lincoln, was left y
to shift for himself. The youngest son !

Is this right?"
No reply came to her question. He
tried to answer, but his trembling
lips refused to obey the command OF
his will. Criminal though he was, and
though he had resolved to be again,
he lacked the requisite nerve to be a
bold one.

Again there was silence. His good
and bad angel were fighting for the
supremacy. But the struggle was of
short duration. After an instant one
word fell hoarsely from his lips:
Yes"

spoken, all hesitation died away as If
by magic, and he was ready to pursue
his object to the. END.

Sherwood placed the fingers Of one
hand upon her wrist at the same time

icy cold.
But already the sharp point had
punctured her flesh.
