wondrous dawning that brought the
vivid color to her cheeks. Slowly
very slowly-in answer to his fixed
gaze, she rose to her full height, her
eyes luminous with unshed tears. I'm
resisting, he drew her to him. 1t was
not till she felt the tender pressure OF
his arm about her shoulders that she
gave way and burst into tears.
1T is more than I can stand!" she
cried. Il cannot-cannot!- it.

And 1 shall never ask you, dear

Wilkes. 'Not on the seats, but down

cabin which they found vacant. Inc
ground in Larue county.
The huge crowd at the farm took
great interest in that which probably
caused Thomas Lincoln to select this
spot for his hOme-the Lincoln spring.
This never failing stream of water
comes from the ground today as it did
in Lincoln's time.
The Lincolns lived on the farm where
Abe was born for several years. Their
eldest daughter, Sallie, was born there.
When Abe was about four years old
the family moved to a home on Knob
creek. There occurred the incident
which Lincoln remembered wildly all
his life, where he was saved from
drowning in a creek by Austin Cola
her. From this farm the Lincoln fam
lily moved to Indiana.
The farm fell into the possession of
Micajah Middleton who sold to Rich
ard A. Creal, the Lincoln farm as it
stands today. Creal built new log
home and for many years used the
cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was
born as a corn crib. At the death of
Creal the farm passed into the hands
Of his heirs. Many years after the
death of Lincoln the farm began to
grow in fame as "Lincoln's birthplace" "
Many people came to see it and among
them was Alfred w. Denett, a wealthy
restaurant owner of New York city.
Denett bought the farm, paying the
Creal heirs $4,000 and the deed to the
property was made February II, 1895,
Just Sc years after the birth Of Lin
coin.
Denett had plans for the purchase
of the farm by congress and CONVEX
sion into a national park and spent
considerable money in an attempt to
get successful hearing of his prOpo-
sition at Washington, but failed. He
was the first to attempt any real i'm
provement of the property. He built
fence around it, cleared away the
underbrush and made driveway from
the entrance to the famous spring. He
was planning to build house over the
cabin to protect it from the elements
when business reverses forced him to
make an assignment.
Just before this he had complied
with the request of the officials of the
exposition in Nashville. Tenn, and had
shipped the Lincoln cabin to be placed
on exhibition there. From Nashville
the cabin went to New York, where it
was exhibited several months. Later
it was stored in a warehouse.
A few days before making an as
signment Denett decided the farm and
cabin to David r. Crear, treasurer of
the Christian and Missionary Alliance
of New York, as payment on q note
he had given them in a contribution.
His creditors brought suit in Larue
county to have this transfer set aside.
This was done at the May term Of
court 1906 and once more the Lincoln
farm, with taxes in arrears, was on
