On his way home that night he
thought Of what Jack Kelso had said

On the twenty-second Of November
letter came to Ann from BIN Kelso,
which announced that she was going
to New Orleans for the winter with
her husband. Six days later Abe took
the stage for the capital, at Rutledge's
door, where all the inhabitants Of the
village had assembled to bid him good
by. Ann Rutledge, with fash Of her
old playfulness, kissed him when he
got into the stage. Abe's long arm
was waving in the air as he looked
back at his cheering friends while the

the great task Of life upon which he
was presently to begin in the little

NEW FORD MODEL SOON

New model Ford touring cars and
roadsters with ventilating windshields,
one man tops, metal dashes and refin-
ed body designs will be on the mar
ket between Aug. IS and Sept. l, it
was stated this week. ,
| The new models will have two NOV
able glass plates in the windshields,
instead of one fixed and one adjust
able plate, as at present, and slight
body changes and new tops.
Quantity production and purchases
of supplies have brought the actual
cost of factory production of the Ford
cars down to approximately $93 a car,

$50 a car with $73 for agents COM

car sold for $3.50. The total factory
cost with overhead at that time was
$291, making net profit of 500 per
car.

Which Continues the Romance Of Abe

the Legislature. Also It Describes
the Coloneling Of Peter Lukins.
The next day after his return, Abe
received a letter from Ann. She had
come over to the store on the arrival
Of the stage and taken her letter and
run home with 1t. That Saturdays
stage brought the new suit Of clothes
from Springfield.
It was an Indian summer day Of the
first week in November. That after
noon Abe went to the tavern and asked
Ann to walk out to the Traylors' with
him. She seemed to be glad to 60.
She was not the cheerful, quick-footed,
rosy-cheeked Ann Of old. Her face
was pale, her eyes dull and listless,
her step slow. Neither spoke until
they had passed the Waddell cabin
and were come to the open fields.
II hope your letter brought good
news" said Abe.
1T was very Short" Ann answered.
"He took a fever in Ohio and was
sick there four weeks and then he
went home. In two months he never
wrote word to me. And this one
was only little bit Of letter with
no love in it. ! don't believe he cares
for me now or, perhaps, he is mar
ried! I don't know. I'm not going
to cry about 1t any more. can't. I've
no more tears to shed. I've given
him up"
'Then ! reckon the time has come
for me to tell you what is on my
heart" said ABE. II love you, Ann.

have told you long ago but 7 could
not make myself believe that I was
good enough for you. I lswe you so
much that II you can only be happy
with John McNamar / will pray to
God that he may turn out to be good
and faithful man and come back and
keep his promise"
She looked up at him with kind
Of awe in her face.
"Oh, Abe!' she whispered. * had
made up my mind that men were all
bad but my father. was wrong.
did not think OF YOU"
"Men are mostly good" said Abe.
But It's very easy to misunderstood
them. In my view it's quite likely
that John McNamar Is better than you
think him. want you to be fair to
John. II you conclude that you can
not be happy with him give me a
change. ] would do my best to bring
back the joy Of the old days. Some
times think that am going to do
something worth while. Sometimes /
think that ! can see my way far ahead
and 1t looks very pleasant, and you,
Ann, are always walking beside me
I In It. Before we take another step
wish you could give me some hope
\ to live on--just q little straw Of
hnnA."

I That evening Abe wrote d playful
commission as colonel for Peter Lu-
kins, which was signed in due time
by all his friends and neighbors and
presented to Lukins by a committee
Of which Abe was chairman.
Coleman Smoot-a man Of some
means who had a farm on the road
to Springfeld-was in the village that
evening. Abe showed him the COM
mission and asked him to sign it.
"Ill sign on one condition." said
Smoot.
"What is that?' Abe asked,
'sThat you'll give me commission.
I want to be your friend"
"You are that now, aren't your"
Abe asked.
"Yes, but haven't earned my COM
mission. You haven't given me a
chance yet. What can I do to help
you along?"
Abe was much impressed by these
kindly words.
MY friends do not often ask what
they can do for me-" he said. II sup
pose they haven't thought Of 1t. III
think 1t over and let you know"
Three days later he walked out to
Coleman Shoots after supper. AS
they sat together by the fireside Abe
said:
tive been thinking Of your friendly
question. It's dangerous to talk that
way to a man like me. The fact Is,
need two hundred dollars to pay
pressing debts and give me something
in my pocket when ] go to vandalia'
II you can not lend 1t to me shall
think none the less Of you"
Il can and WILL said Smoot. I've
been watching you for long time. A
man who tries as hard as you do to

lieye In you I'll 60 up to Springfield

~rou are q wonderful man, Abe"
said Ann, touched by his appeal. my
father says that you are going to be
q great man."
Il can not hold out any such hope
to you," Abe answered. 'T'm rather
ignorant and badly In debt, but !
reckon that I can make good living
and give you comfortable home.
Don't you think, taking me just as l
am. you could care for me littler
EYES; sometimes I think that I
could love you, Abe" she answered.
II do not love you yet, but may
some time. I really want to love you"
"That is all I can ask now," said
Abe as they went on. ''Do you hear
from BIN KelsoY
Il have, not heard from her since
June"
Il wish you would write to her and
tell her that am thinking Of going
down to st. Louis and that I would
like to 60 and see her,"
"Iql write to her tomorrow" said
Ann.
They had a pleasant visit and while
Ann was playing with the baby she
seemed to have forgotten her troubles.
They stayed to supper, after which
the WHOLE family walked to the tavern
with them. When Ann began to show
weariness, Abe gently lifted her in
his arms and carried her.
q That evening Mrs. Peter Lukins
called upon Abe at Sam Hill's store
where he sat alone, before the fire,
reading with two candles burning on
the end. Of 4 dry goods box at his
elbow. 4
II wanted to see you private bout
Lukins," she began. "There's them
that call him Bony Lukins, but !
reckon he amt no bonier than the
everidge run o men-not q bit-an',
If he was. don't reckon his bones
orto be throwed at him every time
he's spoke to that away"
"What can do about itf" Abe
asked.
"Tve been hopin' an wishin' some
kind Of decent handle could be put
on to his name," said Mrs. Lukins
with her eye upon q knot hole in the
counter. Something with a good
sound to 1t. You said that anything
you could do for the New Salem folks
you was goin' to do an thought may.
be you could fix it."
Abe smiled and asked: DO you
want a. title?"
"If 1t amt plum owdacious wisht
he could be made a. colonel"
"I'll see what can be done, but Il
he gets that title he'll have to live ur
| to It." f.8
"Ill make him walk a chalk line
you see," the good woman promised al
she left the store.
