CHAPTER ".
Which Presents Other Iog-Cabin Folk
and the First Steps in the Making of
New Home and Certain Capacities
and Incapacities 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-flled lunch
con pail; Samson with a saw In his
hand and the boy Joe on his back !;
Abe with a saw and AK and a small jug
of root beer and a book tied in big
red handkerchief and slung around his
neck. When they reached the woods
Abe cut 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. If you
hear a frog say anything improper
you fetch him a whack. Don't allow
any nonsense. Wen make you mayor
Of Frog City"
The men fell to with axes and saws
while Harry limbed 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 /:

DREAMS.

A young woman asks me II be-
Iieve in dreams. 4
She says she has had q hard, life.
That she comes from home Of
strife and discord. from which the
children were thrust to make their
own way. like birds from a nest.
That she Is poor and has to earn
her own living. and that she doesn't
make much money for she isn't
clever at her work, but she Is con-
tent, for half the time she hardly
knows what she Is doing because
she is dreaming thar some rich old
couple will happen along and adopt
her and carry her on TO home
Of splendor where they will pet her
and indulge her. Or else that a
handsome and dashing young million
aire will fall in love with her at
FIRST sight and marry her, and she
will haunt around In limousines
forever after.
Certainly / believe in dreams. But
no tin pipe dreams Of the kind In
which this young woman is indulg-
ing herself. There are dreams that
are prophetic dreams. and there ,are
dreams that are creeping paralysis.
There are dreams that end In
achievement. and dreams that end in
death.
Almost every great thing that has
been done in the world is the realiza-
lion of a dream. Columbus dreamed
that the world was round. Fulton
dreamed of a boat moved by the
power Of steam. Morse dreamed Of
sending a message across the con-
tinent by wire. Edison dreamed Of
reproducing the human voice SO that
the world may still listen to a great
singer 100 years after his body Is
dust and ashes. The great railroad
builders who have linked the world
together with iron bands, the great
ananciers who have built up huge
industries. all have been dreamers.
But these people did not sit down
and fold their hands and spend their
time in q trance. imagining that the
thing they wanted would come to
them on wings. They rolled up their
sleeves and went to work to make
their dreams come true. The realiza-
ton Of their vision.was the result
of no miracle. II came through un-
firing labor. and sweat, and self
denial and grit.
Those are the kinds OF dreams
believe in. not the sleeping sickness
kind of dreams that never get you
beyond lying on your back in the
sun and thinking how nice 1t would
be IL q luscious peach would drop
into your mouth.
And the chief trouble with wome n
is that they have never learned
how to dream dreams. They are
afflicted with the dope dream habit,
and they spend SO much of their
energy in building Castles in Spain
that they have none to use in erect
ing a real house Of life.
One Of the reasons that men sue
coed SO much oftener in life than
women do. is because they realize
that they have got to be their own

Jerry Vanner. Jerry was a notorious
confidence man, renowned for his
ability to keep under cover. He was
wanted in a dozen different cities,
but the police never seemed to recog-
nize him when he was right under
their eyes. Jerry was noted for an
other thing. He always played a
lone hand. He made a fatal blunder
when he conceived the scheme of
threatening money out of the Van
aefgrift-Skelks, instead of Turing
1t out of them or some other VIC
Tins. Jerry was always scrupulous
about the details of his plans, and
the knowledge of that helped me
some.
Jerry demanded no less than
$4,000 in cash from the Wander
ft-Shelks as the price for not
kidnapping their child. He warned
them not to try to communicate
with the police or any private de-
tective, for every person leaving
their apartment (which. by the way.
had only a private entrance right
from the street)- would be trailed,
