FATE AND LINCOLN

Nearly a century and half ago a
father working in his field in a Ken
tueky clearing was shot and killed by
Indians. His three sons were with
him. The oldest ran to the house and
reached it unharmed. The next in age
ran in another direction for the near
est settlement. The youngest, a boy
of six, was seized by one of the at
tackers.
When the oldest boy looked out,
after barring the door, ne saw his
| brother in the grasp of an Indian. He
took down the family musket, aimed
through an opening and shot the In
dian dead. The boy, released, made
his way to the house. In a few hours
a rescuing party from the settlement
drove the raiders away.
The six-year-old boy was Thomas
Lincoln. He became the father tof
Abraham Lincoln.
Thirty-two years later, two boys,
chums, were strolling along Knob
Greek, Hardin county, Kentucky. The
younger, only seven years old, at
tempted to swing himself over the
creek on a sycamore tree. Midway
he lost his hold and fell in. The other
rescued him. The rescuer's name
was Gallagher, and but few men have
been privileged to perform equal serv-
| ice for their country.
The boy he rescued was Abraham
| Lincoln.
Twice death was cheated that
America might be saved. 1t was
chance, or something else. Most
Americans prefer to believe it was
