do, though her mind never, never
hesitated over the slightest detail OF
the necessary formula Of procedure.
She knew in just what order to press
in those innocent-looking little orna-
mental tacks In the brass binding; re-
membered the right moment to turn
the box up on its end and let the
just released steel ball roll down its
channel to the pocket, where it must
lie before the last pressure upon the
last spring would prove effective. She
no more faltered over 1t than she
would have faltered over her alphabet.
And at last, when her numbed I'm
gers had completed their task. the
counter-weighted lid rose slowly by
itself, Just as it had used to, and re-
vealed to her swimming eyes the con-
tents of the interior.
Up to the moment she had not real
lied what the finding Of the dispatch
box meant. It had not occurred to
her that a full account Of her fathers
expedition, a narrative which would
reach, perhaps, to the morning Of the
last day Of all, was lying here, right
under her eyes.
But now when the cover opened and
lshe saw beneath 1t a thick volume,
bound In red morocco, she realized
that here, under her hand, was the
very object, in search Of which the
Aurora had set out upon her perilous
voyage.
The first sight of her fathers clear,
erect, precise handwriting warmed
her with a sudden courage. But even
this new inspiration Of courage did
not make her strong enough to turn
back and read the last entry in that
tragic journal first. She tried to do
it, but the will failed her. So she be-
gan at the beginning. Once she had
plunged into the fascinating nara
tive, the whole Of the outside world
faded away from her. She was oblivious
to the fact that the darkness outside
was no longer the mere darkness OF
the fog; oblivious to the rising wind
that poured its icy stream through the
leaky walls of the hut and made the
candle flicker; oblivious, even to the
very sound which she had meant tc
wait for-the sound Of Toms voice
calling out to her from the yacht, and
the sound Of other, more alarming
nearer voices.
They all fell on deaf ears as she
turned page after page Of that pre-
cious record of her fathers life. II

TWO ANECDOTES OF LINCOLN.

David Morgan Edgerton in the Feb.
ruary Century1
In June, 1887, at a dinner given by
Mr.. David NJ. Edgerton, formerly pres
ident Of the Kansas Pacific railroad, at
Wyandotte, kan. John p. Usher, secre-
tary of the interior under Lincoln
said:
when the war broke out, I knew
that the railroad from Baltimore to
Harrisburg, the Northern Central of
Pennsylvania, was bound to be good
property, for soldiers and people de-
voted 10 the preservation Of the union
travelling to Washington would neces-
sairly be transported over it. The
stock was then worth only a few
cents on the dollar. ! knew that from
the necessity OF the case 1t would ad-
vance in value to par or nearly so. l
bought large blocks Of it, and told Mr..
Lincoln that If he would give me $l0,-
900 | would make him all the money
he wanted
Being asked If Mr. Lincoln was in
cllned TO do It, Mr.. Usher said no. He
himself considered the investment
proper. but evidently Lincoln thought
otherwise.
Another anecdote related to Mr.
Usher ran as follows:
"While yet young lawyer, Mr.. Lin
coin concluded to run for the state leg
islature, and in those days anyone who
desired to run for Office had only ID
announce himself candidate in the
papers or at a public meeting. Mr.
Lincoln rode to IN adjoining town
where a political meeting was to b
held
"As he rode along the street. his at
tention was attracted TO new house
more pretentious than its neighbors
Erected upon the roof he noticed point
ed iron rods. At the tavern he inquired
their purpose, and learned that the'
were lightning rods.
AT the meeting he found the persoI
then speaking to be the owner Of thii
house and his rival The latter made
so much sport of Mr. Lincoln that Lin
coins friends became discouraged an'
detected. But as the meeting wai
about to break up. Mr.. Lincoln ros'
and said that he would like to say
few words
''Beginning modestly, he soon en-
gagged and held attention, until, as Ii
concluded, lie added: My friends,
am a young man, and whether shal
live few years or many ! do no
know. but l hope that while do liv
shall SO conduct myself that 1t vii
not be necessary for me to put ligh
ming rod on my house to save me fror
i the vengeance Of Almighty God. II
had struck the key note, and he wa
carried from the meeting by a.
friends, and was elected"
