CHAPTER ~.
Which Presents Other Log.cabIn Folk
and the First Steps In the Making of
New Home and Certain Capacities
and lncapacities of Abe.

Next morning at daylight two par
ties went out in the woods to cut tim
Der for the home of the newcomers.
In one party were Harry Needles car
rying two axes and well-filled lunch
con pail; Samson with a saw in his
hand and the boy Joe on his back;
Abe with a saw ana ak and a small jug
OF root beer and book tied in a big
red handkerchief and slung around his
neck. When they reached the woods
Abe cut a pole for the small boy and
carried him on his shoulder to the
creek and said:
"Now you sit down here and keep
order in this little frog city. II you
hear frog say anything improper
you fetch him whack. Don't allow
any nonsense. Wen make you mayor
Of Frog City,"
The men fell to with axes and saws
while Harry llmbed the logs and
looked after the mayor. Their huge
muscles flung the sharp axes into the
timber and gnawed through 1t with
the saw. Many big trees fell before
noon time when they stopped for lunch
con. While they were eating Abe said:
81 reckon we better saw out a few
boards THIS afternoon. Need 'em for
the doors. Wen tote couple Of logs
up on the side o. that knoll, put 'em
on skids an whip 'em up into boards
with the saw
Samson took hold Of the middle Of
one Of the logs and raised 1t from the
ground.
81 guess we can carry EN-" he said.
"Can ye shoulder it?" Abe asked.
Easy" said Samson as he raised
an end of the log, stepped beneath It
and, resting its weight on his back
soon got his shoulder near its center
and swung 1t clear Of the ground and
walked with it TO the knollside where
he let 1t fall with a resounding thump
that shook the ground. Abe stopped
eating and watched every move in this
remarkable performance. The ease
with which the big Yermonter had so
detied the law OF gravitation with that
unwieldy stick amazed him.
THAT thing'n weigh from seven TO
eight hundred pounds" said he II

part O. the state an I'm quite a man
myself. I've Lifted q barrel q whisky

l never drink it.
Say" he added as he sat down and
began eating a doughnut. IF you
ever hit anybody take a sledge ham,
mer or crowbar. 1t wouldn't be de-
cent to use your fist"
They hewed a fiat surface on oppo-
site sides of the log which Samson
had carried and peeled it and raised
its lower end on a cross timber. Then
they marked it with a chalk line and
sliced it into inch boards with whip
saw, Abe standing on top of the log

CHAPTER III.-continued.


aWelcomei and here's the best seat
A. the ffreside." he said to Samson.
'My wife and daughter are away for
. visit and for two days I've had the
cabin to myself. Look. We worshipers
Of fire, and see how fine 1t is now I
The homely cabin Is place of beauty.
What a heaven It is when the flames
are leaping' Here is Hogarth's line
Of beauty; Nothing perpendicular or
horizontal"
He took Abe's hand and went on
SHere, We lovers of romance, is one
Of the story-tellers OF Ispahan who
has in him the wisdom Of the wander
ing tribes. He can tell you a tale
that will draw children from their
play and old men from the chimney
corner Ny boy, take chair next
to Mr.. Traylor. Mr.. Traylor, you

Big pine. believe you're a Yankee"
$50 do l." said Samson. "If you
took all the Yankee out o. me I'd have
an empty skim"
Then Abe began to show the stran-
ger his peculiar art in these words:
\ stephen Nuckles used to say !:
Gods grace embraces the isles O. the
sea an the uttermost parts o. the
earth. 1t takes in the Esquimaux an
the Hottentots. Some go so fur to
say that 1t takes in the Yankees but
don't 90 so fur"
Samson Joined in the good-natured
laughter that followed.
u IF you deal with some Yankees
xsCu take your life In your hands," he
said. They can serve God or Nam
mon and guess they have given the
Sdeyil some Of his best ideas. He
seems to be getting a lot of Yankee
factions lately"
There was powerful prejudice
b Kentucky against the Yankees"
Abe went on. "Down there they used
to tell about Yankee who sold his
hogs and was driving them to town.
lon the way he decided that he had
sold them too cheap. He left them
with his drover In the road and went
On to town and told the buyer that he
would need help TO bring 'em In.
"How's thatY the buyer asked.
Why they git away an go to run
an through the woods an fields an
I've can't keep up with 'em.'
