hewn logs in the center of the 110
acres of poor land This cabin was
just like the other cabins on the
frontier at that time. 1t nad only

outside chimney and huge fire

leather hinges and, when they moved
into it, not single window.
The farm and the old cabin were
not set aside to form patriotic

of the Great Emancipator two years
ago. On that day prominent men ami
women from ali over the land made
a pilgrimage to the little place near
Hodgenvlle. with patriotic addresses

over the place and began the work
of raising the funds with which to
erect the proper memorial. Untii the

Log Cabin Meets Vicssitudes
About five years after Abraham Lin
coin was born his father SOLD the
farm to a neighbor named Creal,
whose family kept it for nearly sew
enty years. Then it was bought by
A. A. bennett. of New York, with
the purpose of turning it into some
sort OF national park.
While the farm was in possession
Of the Creai family, the old cabin in
which Lincoln was born was carted
to the Davenport farm, a mile ana a
half nearer Hodgenville. The Daven-
ports used it as a spring house. But
the owner gave it to Mr. bennett and
it was placed on its original site in
1895
Mr.. Dennett's religious proclivities
ed him to turn over the farm to the
Rev. j. w. Bingham Methodist |
from Florida, whose pur-
bose it was to make the farm a place |
or summer camp meetings He was |
lisuaded from doing this but took the |
,ld cabin to pieces and, setting it up !
lgain, exhibited it all over the coun- |
ry to get the money to carry on his |
work 1t was finally put |
lway in a storage warehouse in Long |
sland City, n. Y.
Property Sold at Public Auction
During this time no steps were |
AIKEN to turn the farm into a park.
For while this project was forgot

Introduced into the legislature Of Ken

ate became involved in litigation and
naliy the property was put up for
ale at public auction and i, was
fought by Robert J. Collier for 49,

Mr. Collier then formed the Lincoln
farm association and on Lincoln
birthday two years ago he decided the

manly and protective air over his
mother which had at once surprised
and pleased her.
He could not quite remember his
tall, slender father who had died when
he was only a little fellow. Phil
Warner, his fathers friend and busi-
ness associate, had been his ideal OF
masculine attractiveness since he was
old enough to think about such things.
Phil was always interested in his ac-
quirement of knowledge and skill. and
was never too tired to play games or
take him riding in his big white tour

people facetiously suggested the pos

met with Billy's usual defense, I'VE
don't need a man at our house, and
| don't need father. Mother says
that I'm man enough for her." At
such times, Phil only looked at him
sadly with grave, unsmiling eyes.
AS Billy watched Liza's deft black
hands handle the sharp, shining little
knife over the apples, he reflected with
a pang that Phil must have known
about the coming step-father and had
hated to tell him.
II was hurryin', anyhow, fast as
could, to grow up and be the man OF
the house. Now l never will be, Liza" /"
he queried after an ominous pause,

must prepare him for an expected or
