NEW YORK Aug. 30.-The demand

prices were allowed to drift aimlessly
1 The party in the speculation, which
! las been attempting for several days
past to move prices. grew discouraged
over the lack of response to these ff-
, forts. Last weeks crop damage ru-
mors had melted some short selling
and this short interest was made me
fullcrum for the short uplift when
has occurred since. The reduction OF
the shorts leaves no sustaining force
in a market otherwise stagnant. Some
apprehension of coming events enters
into the reactionary tone which de
vebped.
The period OF cash Withdrawals

Spiders are seen hnddled up be-

CHAPTER XIX.
The First Venture.

We turned our faces westward
toward the sun whose last rays were
gliding the clouds along the horizon,
following the little valley which had
been followed in the hills by the
stream at which we had drunk. AS
we went on, this valley opened more
and more. changing from rough and
precipitious aspect to one smooth and
rolling. giving promise of human oc-
cupancy. Our most urgent need was
food. and l determined to apply for
IL at the first house we came to, no
matter what its appearance, first with
silver. and IL that failed, with a
loaded pistol as a persuasive.
SO I kept sharp lookout, but for
nearly an hour we pressed forward
without catching glimpse of any hui
man habitation. save few shacks long
since deserted and falling to decay.
Plainly this country had not escaped
the blight which had fallen on the
rest of France-which swept the peas
ants into the armies, drove the mobiles
abroad and left the fields deserted.
Darkness closed in about us as we
went. but still kept my eyes to left
and right. in the hope that they might
be greeted by a ray OF light from some
welcome window.

close at my heels. halted and sank

She breakfasts on a pickle.
And then the custom Is
To go and spend nickel
Upon a glass OF fiz.
Along about ten-thirty
She needs some solid fare
And goes with Grace or Gertie
To purchase an cellar.
At twelve on pie she lunches.
And through the afternoon
From time to time she munches
A dainty macaroon.
Her pocketbook she'll pillage
At dusk, and gayly trudge
To purchase in the village
Ingredients for fudge.
At night with loosened tresses.

To cook up awful messes

And when she's done with brewing
And all the house Is dumb,

LITTLE LINCOLN STORIES


ing for 15 cents day. The surveyors
wife told me that she often saw him
studying at night seated OH the cellar
door. reading Blackstone often until
midnight by the light OF the moon.
The Living Lincoln.
Lincoln always took note OF the light
and dark OF the moons, as Is shown by
an incident which occurred during his
early practice OF law. A murder was
committed in the neighborhood OF the
village and the son OF the surveyors
wife was arrested on suspicion from
the testimony of an "eye witness" In
the meantime Lincoln had swung out
his shingle as lawyer at Springfield
and on this occIs' "a nobly did no prove
that the kindr'-.' o. the surveyor was
not forgotten ~ t1, student who read
| Blackstone by the Moonlight.
| He went to ti,e )eu and questioned
the young prisoner, wnS asserted his
! innocence. aud Lincoln took UP his
case.
| AT the trial the witness swore that
| he saw tho murder committed.
| Might you not be mistaken" asked
Lincoln. "A dim light is deceptive. and
| 1t was a dark night"
The witness fastened to reiterate
that it was bright moonlight where
| upon Lincoln promptly pulled from
among his books an almanac, and said
calmly:
1T is not necessary for me to make
a plea, for no jury can place any re-
lance on a -:sness who will swear
that ii was q moonlight night when
the almanac proves that 1t was the
dark Of the moon. Daniel w. Ayers.

a cargo of bacon and other produce.
While they were loading at Roclport
on the Ohio, Lincoln saw a good deal
| of the pretty Miss Roby, who afterward
became the wife of Allen Gentry. At
this time the young lady evidently had
a strong liking for the future emanoi-
pator. This. however. did not prevent
her from writing of him I'm her diary as
=, follows:
ABE is a long, leggy. gawky boy,

I remarked that the sun was going
down. He said to me: That's not so.

only an appearance. I replied, Abe.
what fool you are!' I found out after
ward that I vas the fool, not Lincoln.
IN after years Mrs. Gentry wrote to
one OF Lincoln's friends as follows: Il
am now thoroughly satisfied that nj

ments Of the heavenly bodies. He was
better read than tho world knows or Is
