Within q week after their return the
election came OF and Abe was defeat
ed, although in his precinct two nun
dred and t~wenty-seven out Of q total OF
three hundred votes had been cast for
him. He began to consider which way
to turn. Maj. John T. Stuart. q law
yer Of Springf1eld-who had been his
comrade In the "war''-had encour
aged him to study law and, further,
had offered to lend him books. So he
looked for an occupation which would
give him leisure for study. Onut, his
former employer, had failed and clear
ed out. The young giant regarded
thoughtfully the scanty opportunities
OF the village. He could hurl his great
strength into the axhead and make .
good living, but he had learned that
such a use Of it gave him a better ap-
petite for sleep than study.
John Mcneil, who for a short time
had shared his military adventures,
had become q partner Of Samuel Hill
In q store larger and better stocked
than any the village had known. But
Hill and Mcneil had 10 need of a 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. It
was not a proposition that promised
anything but loss. The community was
small and there 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
weigh the consequences Of a business
enterprise. The store would give him
leisure for study and New Salem could
offer him nothing else save consuming
toll with the az 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
n In the village and on the plain
around 1t 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 1t. He would try again
for a place In which he could serve
them and II he could learn to serve
Sangamon county he could learn to
serve the state and, possibly, eve the
republic. With this thought and q
rather poor regard for his own In
terest 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 a law book from his friend
Major Stuart.
The career Of the firm began on q
hot day~late insAugust with Bill Berry
smoking his pipe ina chair on the lit
tie veranda Of the store and Abe Lin.
coin sprawled In the shade of q tree
that partly oyerhung It's root, reading
d law book. The face OF Mi. Berry
suddenly assumed q look Of ANNA

been lying Ia repose beside him rose
and growled, his hair rising, and with
q little cry Of alarm and astonish-
r1ent He'd under the store.

Good Citizens Of New Salem Ar
Making an Effort to That End In the
Indian War.
In the midst Of springtime there
came cheering news from the old home
in Vermont letter to Sarah from
her brother, which contained the vel
come promise that he was coming to
visit them and expected to be In
Beardstown about the fourth Of May.
Samson drove across country to meet
the steamer. He was at the landing
when the Star Of the North arrived.
He saw every passenger that came
ashore, and Eliphalet Biggs, leading
his big bay mare, was n Of them, but
the expected visitor did not arrive.
There would be no other steamer
bringing passengers from the East for
q number Of days.
Samson went to a store and bought
a new dress and sundry bits Of fnery
for Sarah. He returned to New Salem
with a heavy heart. Sarah stood in the

Didn't come" he said mournfully.
Without a word, Sarah followed him
to the barn, with the tin lantern In her
hand. He gave her a hug as he got
down from the wagon. He was little
given to like displays Of emotion.
Don't feel bad" he said.
.I've given them up-I don't believe
we shall ever see them again." said
Sarah, as they were walking toward
the door. II think I know how the
dead feel who are so soon forgotten"
Eye can't blame 'em," said Samson.
They've probably heard about the
Injun scare and would expect to be
m~assacreed If they came"
Indeed the scare, now abating, had
spread through the border settlements
and kept the people awake O. nights.
Samson and other men, left in New
Salem, had met to consider plans for
a stockade.
"And then there's the fever an
ague," Samson added.

Samson rejoined. "Therell be a rail-

Sarah had a hot supper ready for
him. AS he stood warming himself
by the fire she put her arms around
him and gave him q little hug.

There was a kind Of apology for

After Judge Anderson's announce
ment Of the order 'some delay in its

discussion between court and counsel
as 10 the exact text of the order.
The court did not deny the right
OF workers to organize, but held the
miners efforts in West Virginia were
in furtherance Of conspiracy with
operators in organized union fields TO
shut off the competition of the non

counsel the text of the order, Judge
Anderson said he would not enjoin
