Rough and tumble" Ferguson pro-
posed.
Both men agreed. They bent low
intently watching each other, their
great hands outreaching. They stood
braced for a second and suddenly both
sprang forward. Their shoulders
came together with a thud. 1t was
like two big bison bulls hurting their
weight in the first shock of battle.
For a breath each bore with all his
strength and then closed with his ad-
versary. Each had an under hold
with one arm, the other hooked
around a shoulder. Samson lifted Abe
from his feet but the latter with ire
mendous efforts loosened the hold of
the VermOnter, and regained the turf.
They struggled across the dooryard,
the ground trembling beneath their
feet. They went against the side of
the house, shaking it with the force
of their impact Samson had broken

to cry. Sarah legged the struggling
men TO stop and they obeyed her.

guess we'd both do better to let each

"Tain't exactly good amusement,
not for u.s." Abe agreed.
1t was growing dark. Ann Rutledge
arrived on her pony, and called Abe
aside and told him that the raiders
were in the village and were breaking
the windows of Radford's store be-
cause he had refused to sell them liquor.
Don't say anything about it," Abe
cautioned her. Just go into the house
with Sarah Traylor and sit down end
have a good visit. Wen look after
the raiders"
Then Abe told Samson what was
up. The men concealed themselves in
some bushes by the roadside while the
minister sat close against an end OF
the house with his bloodhound beside
him. Before they were settled In
their places they heard the regulators
coming. There were eight men in the
party according to Abes count as
they passed The men, in conceal
ment, hurried to the cabin and sur
rounded it, crouched against the
walls. In q moment they could see
big spot, blacker than the darkness,
moving toward them. 1t was the
massed raiders. They came on with
the stealth Of a cat nearing its prey.
A llonlike roar broke the silence. The
preachers bloodhound leaped forward.
The waiting men sprang to their feet
and charged The raiders turned and
ran, pell nell, in panic toward their
horses. Suddenly the darkness seemed
to fiji with moving figures. One Of
the fleeing men, whose coat tails the
dog bao seized, was yelling for help.
The minister rescued him and the dog
went on roaring after the others.

edge o. the grove they could hear a

Radford's grocery had been so
wrecked by the raiders that its owner
was disheartened. Reinforced by John
Cameron and James Rutledge he had
succeeded in drawing them away be-
fore they could steal whisky enough to
get drunk. But they had thrown
much of his goods into the street

Berry and Lincoln bought it, giving
notes In payment and applied for a

thus acquired.
Late that autumn a boy baby ar
rived in the Traylor home AIRS. On
stott, Mrs. Waddell and Mrs. Ke!so
came to help and one or the other
of them did the nursing and cooking
while Sarah was in bed and for a
little time thereafter. The coming
of the baby was a comfort to this lone
ly mother OF the prairies.
There is a letter from Sarah to her
brother dated May, 10, 1888, In which
she sums up some months Of history
In the words that follow:
THE Lord has given US a new son.

Then the party-save Harry Needles,
who stayed in the grove to keep watch
took its captives into the cabin.
Three OF them were boys from
eighteen to twenty years Of age. The
other was a lan6y. bearded Tennes-
Seean some forty years old. One of the
young lads had hurt his hand in the
evenings frolic. Blood was dripping
from Il. The four sat silent and fear
full and asham :.
Sarah made tea and put 1t with meat
and milk and doughnuts and bread and
butter on the table for them. Samson
washed and bandaged the boys
wound. The captiyes ate as IL they
were hungry, while the minister went
out to feed his dog. When the men
| had finished eating Samson offered
them tobacco. The Oldest man filed
his pipe and lighted it with a coal
Not one of the captives had said a
word until this tall Tennesseean re-
marked after his pipe was going:
"Thankee, mister. You done been
right good to us"
"Who told you to come here:" Sam
son demanded.
"Twere a man from st. Louis. He
done said you hated the South an

CHAPTER x.


n Which Abe and Samson WrestIe
snd Some Raiders Come to Burn and
Stay to Repent
Within a week after their return the
election came off and Abe was defeat
ed although in his precinct two hun
dred ard twenty-seven out of a total of
three hundred votes had been cast for
him. He began to consider which way
10 turn. Mai. John 7. Stuart, law
YER of Springfeld-who had been his
ronrade in the "war"-had encour-
aged him to study law and, further,
had offered 10 lend MN books, So he
looked for an occupation which would
give him leisure forsstudy. Offut, his
former employer, had failed and clear
ed out. The young giant regarded
thoughtfully the scanty opportunities
of the village. de could hurl his great
strength into the axhead and make 6.
good living, but he had learned that
such use of it gave him better ap-
petite for sleep than study.
John Mcneil, who for a short time
had shared his military adventures,
had become a partner OF Samuel Hill
In a store larger and better stocked
than any the village had known. But
Hill and Mcneil had no need of clerk.
Roman Herndon and William Berry
had opened a general store. Mr..
Herndon offered to sell his interest to
Abe and take notes for his pay. 1t
was not a proposition that promised
anything but loss. The community was
small and there were three other
stores, and there was no other "Bill'
Berry, who was given to drink and
dreams, as Abe knew.
Abe Lincoln had not been trained to
4 weigh the consequences of a business
Il enterprise. The store would give him
leisure for study and New Salem could
offer him nothing else save consuming
toll with the AK Or the saw. He could
not think of leaving the little cabin
village. There were Ann Rutledge and
Jack Kelso and Samson Traylor and
Harry Needles. Every ladder climb
er in the village and on the plain
around it was his friend.
Upon these people who knew and
respected him Abe Lincoln based his
hopes Among them he had found his
vision and failure had not diminished
or dimmed it. He would try again
for place in which he could serve
them and If he could learn to serve
6angamon county he could learn to
serve the state and, possibly, even the
republic. With this thought and a
rather poor regard for his own in
serest his name fell into bad company
on the signboard of Berry and Lin
coin. Before he took his place in the
store he walked to Springfield and
borrowed law book from his friend
Major Stuart.
The career Of the firm began on a
not day late in August with Bill Berry
smoking his pipe in a chair on the lit

More Than 100 New Owners
Every Week Begin Drawing
8 Per Cent Dividends or
Interest From the
Preferred Shares
Of T. N. {. R.

Edcn week more than hundred
Milwaukee district men and women buy preferred
shares in The Milwaukee Electric Railway &
Light Company. These shares cost 500 each.
Each share pays cash dividends of $S year-S2
December /, 81 March L. 81 June l and 81 Sep
TENDER /.
You can buy the shares for cash. or
monthly payments of S. a share. The 500
dividends paid-up shares accrue from date of
purchase. Interest at so is allowed on monthly
payments, credited on the final payment. EVERY
DOLLAR INVESTED, on either plan, EARNS
so from the day it comes into the business. The
actual cost of each share bought on monthly pay-
ments is only S9430-interest on the payments
amounts to $50 and more than takes care of the
twentieth payment. If for any reason YOU cannot
complete the payments, you get your money back
without question.
A good many shares are being
bought by men and women out in the state and i'm
other StateS-TeaderS of Milwaukee papers These
buyers share belief that so cash income
is higher rate than will be obtainable on first
class preferred shares year two hence, when
interest rates turn back toward normal, and they
are taking advantage of this chance to get safe
and permanent so income while it can still be
obtained.
So far as anyone can fOresee, this
business, larger and stronger every year, will be
here as long as Milwaukee stays on the. map. As
matter of course there will be many changes i'm
the tools and methods of the business but the
Company itself adopts these tools and meth
DDS as fast as they proved better than the
old, and ear shareholders Safeguarded by all
such changes.
Ii the City ever buys the business,
it must of course pay full value for it-and the
State-appraised value of the property is more
than sufficient to shareholders the re-
turn of 100 cents the dollar of their investment
II the city ever does buy it.
No investment is absolutely safe
But this is nearly so as honest capitaliza-
tiOn, skilled engineering, competent management
sure and growing market for its services, and
strict state supervision can make it. The
$3,O00,000 of so cumulative preferred shares
on sale pay the highest income rate of any
of this Companys securities. 1t happens to be the
going rate for new capital this year. We are pay

of these shares. If you have money earning less

REID THREATENS
To ENTER COURT
OVER TAX BOOST
Says Santa Fe Railroad Has
Endured Previous Taxa
tion Through Patriotism
for State.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO MORNING JOURNAL

Santa Fe, July 1S.-The tax COM
mission late this afternoon began
the hearing of the railroads pro-
tests against the more than ten
million dollars raise made by the
commission by disallowing them
depreciation from the interstate
commerce commission valuation.
J. e, Saint, chairman, said the
raise was made at Governor Me-
chem's demand and the governor
said he objected to charging his
administration with cutting down
the railroad valuation by accept
ance by the commission of the
basis prescribed by section 503,
amended revenue code, which will
not become effective until next
year.
This section makes 1t compul-
sorry upon the commission to accept
the interstate Commerce Commits
sion valuation as the taxable val
uation The r. P. & s. w. Is the
chief beneficiary.
w. C. Reid, Santa Fe solicitor,
said the Santa Fe, which got more
than $S,000,0OU of the raise, had
been over-assessed for years, but
had not grumbied, out of patriotic
feeling for the state. He said the
road would not submit to the last
raise and, if necessary. would go
into court.

ADMITTING CHINESE
TO HAWAII OBJECTED

Washington, July 1S.--President
Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, visited the White
House today and protested to Pres
ident Harding against a resolution
pending in congress, which would
give the president authority to ad-
nit Chinese labor into Hawaii. Mr..
Gompers said the measure would
admit $4,000 coolies into the is

"The charge that only Chinese
labor can be used in Hawaii and
that white labor cannot be OBJ

leaving the White House, land the
charge that the sugar industry
there will not support decent wag-

Mr.. Gompers declared that re-

waii made by government officials
had been suppressed by "men high
