PUT GRANT AT DISADVANTAGE
LincoIn's Little Story Probably More
Effective Than Any Long Argu-
ment Could Have Been.

One of the latest stories of Lin
coin is given here:
The President was visiting Grant
in his Virginia camp, and the general
was complaining of the interference
of the Washington bureaucrats. 'The
only use / have for the War depart
ment,' he said finally, lis to furnish
me soldiers and supplies. But the
department mustn't interfere with me-.
l am doing the country's work, and
mustn't be hampered."
THAT reminds me-" said the Presi-
dent, meditatively, "that reminds me
of man / knew out in Sangamon
county, Illinois. He was a deacon,
and had the long-winded exhortation
habit. In fact, he had it so bad that
people began to stay away from meet
ing. One day the preacher met him.
Say, Deacon he said. I don't want
to curtail your religious fervor, but
you must shorten up your exhorta-
tons. You're killing off the member
ship of the church Cant help it,
said the deacon, I'm doing the Lords
work, and mustn't be hampered.' "
Grant laughed and temporarily
dropped the subject.

not go directly to where his miSgivingS
urged him. The sheriff he did not fear
To the sheriff he was still the notori-
Gus Red Mask. To the mob that was
sure to gather he would be the Red
Mask. His escape, with lock and bolt
untouched, would mystify both mob
and sheriff. They would ascribe it to
the dread powers with which popular
fancy had invested his name
But in the rabble that would curse
and camor about the old Jail there
would be one pair of eyes that the
loosened bar would not escape ; "a pair

capable of finding trail-and follow

therefore, he turned his steps east in
stead of west and plunged in among
the dumped underbrush that grew
along the top of the cliff.
Crossing the river road was the
problem Choosing place where the
grass came close to the track on each
side, short distance above where the
path leaves it at the turn, he leaped
across, and using considerable care to
hide his trail, picked his way down
along the inside of the brush-tangled
fence row.
That path! It led out of an old
world into a new. Peering through the
bushes he spared a hurried glance to-
ward the low place in the fence where
the path crossed. The stars peopled
the place with memories. A girl with
basket; round, frank eyes; the sun
bonnet caught by an overhanging
limb; the curl that wouldn't behave
they all came to life out of the
shadows. So many things had hap
pened since he walked that path with
her that it seemed long, long ago; and
it was only yesterday.
The picture dissolved. A breath be-
tween steps it had held him, and he
was off on the long, lanky jog. The
memory had brought half longing to

SYSTEM IN REGULAR SAVING
Money Should Be Made Easy to De-
post and Then Comparatively
Hard to Withdraw.

"The only way for a man regularly
to save money, unless he be one of
those individuals possessed of an ex-
traordinarily unrelenting character,
according to Samuel Crowther, writing
in System, the Magazine of Business,
sis for the money to be passed into the
savings account before it reaches him
that is, to put him in the position.
once he has made his resolution, OF
having to make another resolution to
quit saving in order to stop the process.
'Finally, take the convenience OF
withdrawal. A man will rightly hesl-
tate about going into any system OF
saving which locks up his funds for
any long period of time. The average
worker has no great margin between
income and outgo and he has to be pre-
pared for rainy day-for birth, for
death, for long illness. He cannot
afford to put a measurable part of his
funds out of reach. If his money is to
go from him for a long time he very
naturally will not deed away anything
like so much as he would if the money
were always available On the other
hand any system of saving in which
Withdrawals may be easily ana secret
ly made is faulty. The funds should
be available upon short notice, there
should be a penalty for withdrawal,
which penalty should be large enough
to stop Withdrawals for frivolous pur-
poses and yet not so large as to work
anything which savors of injustice on
man who honestly needs the money"

across the curtain-and the man who
crouched under the bushes knew the
girl was alone with her thoughts.
The man at the window watched
the shadow. 1t seemed to rouse him
to recall fancies that the song had
caused to wander far He glanced
about; pulled himself together; made
half petulant step toward the door.
The man in the Gnderbrush stiff
fened; slowly rose, noiseless as
smoke. The man approaching the
door seemed to hesitate; stopped. The
other sank down again in the bushes.
The head of flowing hair rocked back
and forth across the curtains.
1t was a strained moment; three
handed game in the dark; an intense
three-angled drama of life-mayhap
Of more than life. if the honor OF
woman is more than that.
The man hesitating before the door
had the next play. What held his
hand? The song? Perhaps his plans
were not yet ripened to the full. He
made another step toward the door
stopped; jerked his shoulders up saw
agely; glared about; brought his eyes
back to the rocking shadow; swore
softly; turned and stalked silently
away down the path toward Fallen
Rock.

The rarest of its treasures for milady
is the silver fox. OF these there have
been captured half a dozen worth from
$500 to $1,000 each. and many of
smaller value. The silver fox's coat
is coal black, with luster of FURNISH
ed white metal, and white tip to the
tail. Apparently it is quite abundant
in tile place referred to, but extremely
difficult to catch.

traverse the path again, but prudence
warned him to keep away. The sharp
est eyes in the FlatwOods would be
on that path at sunrise.
If the night did hold the menace he
feared-that in so many words had
threatened-it would undoubtedly de-
velop in or near the three-gabled
cabin. AS he drew near the place his
mastery of woodcraft showed in his
approach The bushes were not al
lowed to give up a sound.
A light shone through the front win
dows of the main room of the cabin.
He wondered at this. 1t made him
uneasy. for the evening was gone and
the ripe night come. Not many can
dies were alight at that hour in the
Flatwoods. He sank back under the
bushes and crawled nearer. The mus
lin curtains were drawn, but no
shadows crossed them. The stiffness
within vaguely disquieted him. He
was searching for a way to crawl a
little nearer, when the low tones of
the cello broke across the silence; and
he knew the girl was keeping her lone
ly vigil beside the stricken old man.
Then came the voice from a throat
the gods had kissed. Each tone found
a kindred sound in the cello and
coaxed it forth to f1utter out upon the
listening night in a lustrous witchery
that somehow brought to the fancy of
the listener under the bushes a pie
ture of soft-winged swallows skim
ming over sun-kissed waters.
The figure of man slid into the
candle glow that beat the night back
for a space outside the window
trim: compact; jaunty-the man he
had expected to find prowling there.
The picture was gone. He had little
ear for the music that followed The
hand of the listener at the window
stole up against the light and dragged
off his hat. The man crouching in the
bushes could make out the crisp locks
that chung close to the barred head.
The song ended. The last soft har-
mony of the cello lost itself among
the listening trees. There came muf-
fed shutting inside the cabin; a huge
shadow, as of two figures bulked to-
gether, crossed the curtain of the
window at the west side of the door.
The Pearlhunter knew what was hap
pening-the girl leading the stricken
man to his bed. But his eyes were
upon the still figure outside the win
dow.
One shadow came back, slim,
trim shadow; there followed the
creaking of a chair; a head, hung

Wealth could not purchase, power
could not awe this divine, this loving
man. He knew no fear except the
fear of doing wrong. Hating slavery,
plying the master-seeking to con-
quer, not persons, but prejudices- he
was the embodiment of the self-denial,
the courage, the hope. and the nobility
of a nation. He spoke, not to infiame,
not to upbraid, but to convince. He
raised his hands, not to strike, but in
benediction.-Exc

Could Bear Great Burden.

Mr.. Lincoln's time in office-four
years and month-was filled with
labor and anxiety. He did not know
an hour of ease. He lad scarcely set
tied in his chair when called upon to
defend the Union and from that hour
until the end his whole nature, physi-
cal and mental, was driven to the
limit. But he was hardy-the son of
backwoodsman, and built on giant
lines. He did not spare himself, but
was able to bear his burden.
