deeply impressed by her talk and fine
manners and general comeliness. He
felt her grace and charm and spoke
Of 1t with enthusiasm. But to him
and to her there seemed to be an I'M
passable gulf between them. She
changed her mind about that, how
ever, when she heard him speak and
felt the power of his personality and
saw his face lighted by the candle Of
his spirit. It was handsome face
In those moments Of high elation.
Hardship and malarial poison had
lined and sallOwed his skin. The
shadows Of loneliness and sorrow were
in Its sculpturing. But when his eyes
glowed with passion one saw not the
rough mask which the life of the
pioneer had given him. His form lost
its awkwardness; his face took on a
noble and impressive beauty. To
quote his own words to the boy, Josiah
Traylor, his character was speaking
as well as his lips. Mary had the in
sight to recognize his power. She felt
the strength Of his spirit. She agreed
with her friends that here was man
Of great promise. She felt the need
of him. .\ ...u#
To one who loved beauty and re-
spected women as he did, the grace
and refinement of this young lady had
a singular appeal, coupled, as it was,
with the urge Of his strong, masculine
nature. 1t was revelation. He was
like young poet going out into the
open and seeing for the first time the
mysterious beauty OF the mountains
or "the exquisite, delicate, thin curve
Of the new moon in spring" He be-
gan to seek and study refinement Of
thought, Of manner, Of dress, of ex-
preston. He knew that he needed
Mary, but had the feeling that she
was not for him. .... ....
A woman who lived near the Ed
wards house had small, hairy
poodle dog. One day, as Abe and Mary
were walking along the street, they
met this woman, who asked If they
had seen her dog.

Il wouldn't wonder If some one dow
the street had got him tied to the ent
Of pole and is using him to swab of
his windows" said Abe Lincoln with
g0od-natured laugh. "I1l try t.
find him for you.'
Mary enjoyed fun and this and like
sallies Of the young legislator added
a certain zest to their friendship
Women are like children In their love
Of humor. 81
The diminutive Douglas saw in Miss
Todd an asset Of much value and his
attentions began to be assiduous. Mary
was Indifferent to his lofty manner
and sonorous vocalism. Abe Lincoln
liked her better for that.
She encouraged the visits of the lat
ter and invited his confidence. The
fact filled him with great joy. They
went about together. In the Edwards
parlor he modestly told her Of his
work and his life plan. She differed
with him on certain subjects which
were unfortunately fundamental. He
did not love her as he had loved Ann.
But>her personality pleased and fas-
cinated the young legislator. One
evening under the spell of 1t he asked
her to be his wife. She consented.
Then he began to think 1t over.
It was like Lincoln In his relations
with women to get the cart before the
horse, SOL to speak. The points upon
which they disagreed came up for con-
sideration. She could not think as he
did on the subject Of slavery and the
kindred one Of state rights. His man
ners were not like hers. They grew
naturally out of ones history ana Char
acter. He could be kind and gentle
In his way. But, mainly, his manners
would have to be like the rugged limbs
Of the oak. The grace and elegance
of the water-wilIow and the white
birch were not for him. It saddened
him to conclude that he would have
to be for a long time just what he was
crude, awkward, unlearned In the
graces and amenities of cultivated
people. He rightly judged that his
crudeness would be a constant source
Of irritation to the proud Mary. As
their acquaintance progressed the
truth Of his conviction grew more ap-
parent. This, however, did not so
much concern him as her lack Of sym
pathy with some Of his deepest mo-
tives. He decided that, after all, he
did not love her and that 70 marry her
would Be committing a great wrong.
Some Of the unhappiest days Of his
life followed. His conscience gave
him no rest He knew not what to do.
He wrote d letter to Miss Todd in
which he reviewed the history Of his
thinking On the subject Of their mar
fiage and frankly bit tehderly stated

Which Describes a Pleasant Holida,
and a Pretty stratasem.
Two days later Bim suggested that
they should take days ride in the
open and spend the night at the home
Of friend Of hers in a settlement
known as Plains End, Harry having
expressed wish to get out on the
prairies In the saddle after his long
term of travel on a steamboat.
"Are you sure that you can stand
an all days journey?" BIN asked.
II! l could kill a bear with my
hands and carry him home on my
back and eat him for dinner" the
young man boasted.
1--WE got enough Of the wild West
In me to like man who can eat
bears, If there's nothing BETTER" said
BIN. II didn't know but you'd been
spoiled in the home of those eastern
millionaires. If you're willing to take
what comes and make the best Of 1t,
I'll give you day that you will re-
member You will have to put up with
very simple hospitality, but l
wouldn't wonder if you'd enjoy it,"
"We will leave here day after to-
morrow. Our horses will be at the
door at eight o'clock in the morning.
We shall take some luncheon and
reach our destination late in the after
noon and return next day. 1t will
give us good long visit with each
other and you'll know me better be-
fore we get back"
II want to know you as well as I
love you," he said. II suppose it will
be like studying law--one never gets
through with it,"
"pve found myself rather abstruse
subject-as bad as Coke, Of which Abe
used to talk SO much with my father"
she declared. II shall be glad If 1t
doesn't discourage you"
'The mystery Of woman can not be
solved by intellectual processes" the
young man remarked. Observation
Is the only help and mine has been
mostly telescope. We have managed
to keep ourselves separated by great
distance even when we were near
each other. 1t has been like looking
at star with very limited parallax.
It's a JOY to be able to see you with
the naked eye"
"You will have little to look at on
this holiday but me and the prairies,"
said BIN.
II think the prairies will be neg
lected. I shall wear my cavalry uni
form and try to get q pair Of the best
horses In Chicago for the trip"
"Then you would have to get mine.

as possible. I've been looking Tor
ward to that since / was sixteen"
"Then l think I'll take you and
marry you before you have a chance
to fight another duel"
II don't hear anything but love and
marriage" said Samson. We've been
rassling down at our house to keep
Josiah from running off and getting
married. He's engaged already"
Engaged! To whomT Harry asked.
"To Annabel Brimstead. She's q
little older than he is. She laughed
at him and promised to marry him
as soon as he was nominated for Pres
ident by all his friends. She would
now vote for him herself. He has
become good athlete and the best
scholar in school. He has every
boy and girl in the village working
for him evenings and Saturdays"
"What are they doing?" Harry
asked.
Making those newfangled things
they call lucifers. You can build
fire in second with 'em. They cut
splinters out Of soft wood, dip their
ends in brimstone-which Joe learned
how to make-and put them in a hot
oven until the birthstone Is baked.
Then scratch will bring a fame.
Joe puts them up in bundles and sells
them to the merchants and calls them
lucifer matches. He has invented
machine that will cut and dip a thou
sand splinters an hour. I tell you,
Annabel Is in danger"
He took a lucifer out of his pocket
and scratched it on the bottom Of his
boot. The party looked with wonder
at its flame which quickly consumed
the slender thread Of pine in his fin
gers.
II have always thought that Joe
would make a whale Of a man." said
Harry.
1--WE all seem to be threatened with
immediate and overwhelming happi.
ness," BIN exclaimed.
'The only thing in the way Of mine
is the national debt that have accu-
mulated," Harry remarked.
II knew he'd think of something"
said BIN ruefully. IF I wanted to
abolish the noble institution of mar
riage I'd make him chairman Of the
ways and means committee"
Harry, your credit is still good
with me, and I'm prosperous" Samson
began. II want you to know that
Bins energy and skill are mostly re-
sponsible for my success. I guess we
owe more to your sickness than you're
aware of. If it hadn't been for that
we would be plodding along at the
same old pace. We would not have
felt the need Of speeding up. 1t was
your misfortune that brought BIN into
the store. If she wants to retire and
marry you, I rather think she is en-
titled to do it. I don't want any more
fooling around about this matter.
Sarah and I couldn't stand it. She's
kept me awake nights talking about
it. The thing has worried us plenty.
We rebel and demand action before
anything else happens. We feel as if
we had some rights in this case"
II concede them and second your
demand" Harry answered. "Bim must
name a near day. I only need week
to get some clothes and 60 up to Mil
waukee on a little matter of business"
II don't know whether we1l give him
a week or not" said BIN playfully.
"A great many things may happen to
him In week."

JOHNSON HECKLERS
BUSY
They Don't Like Jack as a Boxing
Attraction.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, March Sat
the present time Fred Fulton Is by
no means considered a hero by the
boxing fans OF this country; in iact
if the truth be told, he is regarded
with considerable GOODNESS, due chiefly
to his failure to make good showing
against Wills. Now il Is reported that
bred has agreed to fight Jack John son
after the black ex-champion gets re-
leased from Lcavcnworth.
Without a question OF doubt John
son is the most dcspised pugilist in
the world today--and Justly soAand
it viii not add to Frcd's popularity
to fight him. 1t would be lot better
policy on Fulton's part to ignore
Johnson as most OF the hcavywcights
no doubt will. There will be no par
hcular glory in defeating the ex-cham-
pion, for he IS merely a shadow OF
his former fighting self. aud unless
were very much mistaken there will
not be much money in it for Fred,
either, for such a match would not be
likely TO draw a large gate.

SEC. HUGHES ACTUAL
 HEAD OF DELEGATION
(By the Ass.crated Press)

Washington, Aug. 13.-With the white house announcement last night that Secretary of State Hughes will head the American delegation at the disarmament conference and will have entire responsibility for the policies pursued by the United States, the in- terest of the capital today turned to the men whom President Harding will name as associate delegates with the secretary.
 Not only has President Harding en- trusted Secretary Hughes with Amer ican leadership at the conference, but the department of state has beer given full authority to deal with pre- liminary arrangements and details However, prior announcement by the president forbids hny advance conferences among representatives o1 the powers to formulate actions fol the conference proper. He has lndl- cated to the powers that all agree, ments must be reached by the con- ference as whole, insofar as the United States is concerned.

HUNGARY PUTS
 PEACE TREATY
 UP TOHARD|NC
(By the Associated PressI

Budapest, Aug. 13.-Unanimous approval of the separate peace res olution adopted by the American sen ate in July has been voted by the Hungarian national assembly and the government authorized to nego, tiate a treaty with the Harding ad- ministration at Washington.
 The action of Hungary doubtless will return attention to the Knox Porter resolution adopted by the house and senate and signed by Pres ident Harding on July 4. However, the president did not officially pro- claim peace with the former central empires, and the peace question has since been quiescent. With the Knox Porter resolution adopted and the ways still open for ratification of the Wilson treaty negotiated at Paris. President Harding is preparing to move in either direction. It is prob able that the question will be left open until after the disarmament con- ference at Washington in November.
