The two men went across to the
tavern. Mrs. Rutledge and Abe tip

woman closed the door. Ann Rut-

were none who knew what happened
in that solemn hour save the two
one of whom was on the edge of
eternity. and the other was never to
speak Of ii. The only record of that
hour is TO be found in the face and
spirit of great man.
Years later Samson wrote in a let

tavern that day. He was not the Abe
we had all known. He was different.
There were new lines in his face. II

that hour he was Abraham Lincoln"
Ann passed away before the month

kind. an imperishable memory. In
her presence the spirit of the young
man had received such a baptism that
henceforward, taking thought Of her,
he was to love purity and all clean

feet with tears and ointment was ever

CHAPTER XVI.
Wherein Young Mr.. Lincoln Safely
Passes Two Great Danger. Poiets
and Turns Into the Highway Of His
Manhood.

For days thereafter the people OF
New Salem were sorely troubled. Abe
| Lincoln. the ready helper In time OF
need. the wise counselor, the friend Of
all-"old and young. dogs and horses"
as Samson was wont TO say-the pride
and hope OF the little cabin village,
was breaking down under his grief.
He seemed to care no more for work
or study or friendship. He wandered
out In the woods and upon the prairles
alone. Many feared that he would
lose his reason.
There was wise and merry-hearted
man who lived mile or so from the
village His name was Bowlin Green.
Those days when one of middle age
had established himself in the affec-
lions OF community. its members had
a way of adopting him. SO Mr.. Green
had been adopted into many families
from Beardstown TO Springfield. He
was everybody's "Uncle Bowlin." He
had most unusual circumference and
the strength to carry II. His rudy
cheeks and curling locks and kindly
dark eyes and large head were details |
Of importance. Under all were heart |

usual understanding and hand |

pioneer He could grill venison
steak and roast grouse and broil a
chicken in way which had filled the
countryside with fond recollections of
his hospitality; he could kindle fire
with a bow and string. a pine stick
and some shavings; he could male
anything from splint broom TO
rocking horse with his jack-knife. Abe
Lincoln was one of the many men WHO
knew and loved him.
On a warm. bright afternoon ea.ly

lround the pasture TO put his fence IN

Illinois was growing. In June scores
of prairie schooners. loaded with old

Yankees from Ohio. New York and
New England In this long caravan.
There were almost as many Irish, who
had set out for this land Of golden
promise as soon as they had been
able to save money for a team and
wagon, after reaching the new world.
There were some Germans and Scan
dinavians In the dust clouds Of the
National road. Steamers on the Hi

along its shores. These were largely
from Kentucky. southern Ohio, Penn

Travelled far and streams of life were
making toward them, to flow with in

of Chicago In the north. Abe said |
that Illinois would be the Empire |
state of the West that new era |
of rapid development and great pros
perity was near. Land was In great
demand and there were many trans
fers of title. Abe had more surveying
TO do than he was able TO accomplish
that summer. Harry was with him
for some weeks. He could earn two
dollars day with Abe, whereas Sam
son was able to hire helper for half
hat sum. Harry made conbdant of
his friend. and when they were work

President Harding Will Issue
Proclamation Providing for /
Constitutional Govt.

PreSident Harding will issue a
proclamation In the very near future
setting forth the procedure. by which
constitutional government shall be
restored to San Domingo.
Under q treaty OF the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. the affairs Of the island
have been administered by the United
States and order maintained by q
force OF Marines. This step was
taken TO prevent the landing OF
foreign troops In 1904 to collect
European debts amounting to 100000
900.
President Wilson issued a proclama-
tion stating that the time had arrived
for a restoration OF constitutional
government. The provision that ar
rangements should be made by COM
missioners representing the United
States and San Domingo, but with
the Dominican commissioners acting
under an American technical adviser,
met with opposition on the island.
As soon as the Harding administra-
ton became firmly established Pres
fdent Dominguez y Garbahal ad-
dressed President Harding directly on
the subject, and II was stated today
that an announcement from the
White House will be made within a
