Litigation Between Lewis County
Turnpike Company and c. 3 0.
Railroad Is Settled.

Cincinnati. Ohio, April s. = By de-
cision Of the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals yesterday the c. &
o. Railway wins finally in the contest
with the Vanceburg Turnpike Com
pany. which was seeking to compel the

for the turnpike intended to connect
vanceburg with Stout's lane In Lewis
county. After paying nearly $4,000 as
its share toward building the pike tho
c. & o. had the Federal Court enjoin
any further collection on the ground
that enough taxes had been collected
to complete the work with proper
managing and also because the turn
pike company had exhausted its right
to make further tax levies. The Ken
lucky Federal Court decided such was
the case and the Circuit Court of APP
peals approved.
This was one Of the Oldest cases on
the dockets Of courts in this section
It was begun by the late Judge A. f.
Cole thirty years ago and at his death
was taken up by is son. Hon. A. d.
Cole. who has been in the case for

mother. Josiah had grown to be a
bronzed, sturdy, good-looking lad,
very shy and sensitive.
"There's a likely boy!" said Sam
son as he clapped the shoulder of his
eldest son. Hes got a good heart in
him"
you'll spoil him with praise"
Sarah protested and then asked as
she turned to the young statesman,
"Have you heard from BIN or any Of
the Kelsos?"
"Not a word. 1 often think of
them"
"There's been a letter in the candle
every night for a week or So, but we
haven't heard a word from Harry or
from Them" said Sarah. II wonder
how they're getting along in these

Late in November Mr.. Lincoln went
out on the circuit with the distin-
guished John T. Stuart, who had
taken him into partnership. Bins
letter to him bears an Endorsement On
its envelope as follows:
'This letter was forwarded from
Vandalia the week l went out on the
circuit and remained unopened in our
Office until my return six weeks later.
"A. Lincoln"
The day Of his return he went to
Sarah and Samson with the letter.
"Ill get a horse and start for Chi
cago tomorrow morning" said Sam
son. "They have had a double blow.
Did you read that Harry had been
killed."
Harry killed." Mr.. Lincoln ex-
claimed. "You don't mean to tell me
that Harry has been killedT
'"The Chicago Democrat says so,
but we don't believe it," said Samson.
Here's the article. Read it and then
I'll tell you why I don't think it's so.'
Abe Lincoln read the article.
"You see it was dated in Tampa,
November the fifth" said Samson
Before we had read that article we
had received a letter from Harry
dated November the seventh. In the
letter he says he is all right and
calculate that he ought to know az
much about 1t as anyone"

said Lincoln. "We can't afford to lose
Harry. 1 feel rather poor with Jack
Kelso gone. 1t will comfort me to dc

I'll give you every dollar 1 can spare
to take to them"
Samson hired horses for the jour

with his son, Josiah, bound for tn,

So his new life began in the village
of Springfield. Early in the autumn
Samson arrived and bought a small
house and two acres of land on the
edge of the village and returned to
New Salem to move his family n
furniture. When they drove along the
TOP of Salem hill a number of the
houses were empty and deserted, their
owners having moved away. Two OF
the stores were closed. Only ten fami-
lies remained. They stopped at Rut-
lodges tavern, whose entertainment
was little sought those days. People
from the near houses came to bid
them good-by.

In their new home. When the beds
were set up and ready for the night
Sarah made some tea to go with the

Second Visit to Chicago.

Second Visit to Chicago.
Bins Judgment of her old friends
was i'll founded. 1t was a slow time
in which she lived. The foot of the
horse, travelling and often mired in a
rough muddy highway, was it's swift
est courier. Letters carried by horses
or slow steamboats, were the only
media of communication between peo-
pie separated by wide distances. So
it is easy to understand that many
who had Travelled far were as the
dead, In a measure, to the friends they
had left behind them and that those
separated by only a hundred miles
had to be very enterprising to keep ac-
quainted.
In March Abe Lincoln had got his
license to practice law. On his return
from the North he had ridden to
Springfield to begin his work as a law
yer in the Office of John I. Stuart.
His plan was to hire and furnish a
room and get his meals at the home
of his friend, Mr.. William Butler. He
went to the store of Joshua Speed to
buy a bed and some bedding. He
found that they would cost seventeen
dollars.
"The question is whether you would
trust a man owing a national debt and
without an asset but good intentions
and a license to practice law, for so
much money!" said Honest Abe. 81
don't know when I could pay you"
Speed had heard Of the tall repre-
sentative from Sangamon county.
II have a plan which will give you
a bed for nothing if you would care to
share my room above the store and
sleep with me-" he answered.

That evening BIN wrote a long let
ter to Samson TraylOr, telling him
nf the evil days which had CONF to
hem. This letter, now in possession
of a great grandson Of Samson and
Sarah Traylor, had a singular history.
1t reached the man to whom it was
addressed in the Summer Of 1874. 1t
was found with many others that sum-
mer in Tazewel county under a barn
which its owner was removing. 1t
brought to mind the robbery OF the
stage from Chicago, south Of the syca-
more woods, in the autumn OF 81, by
q man who had ridden with the driver
from Chicago and who, 1t was thought,
had been in collusion with him. A
curious feature of the robbery had
been revealed by the discovery of the
mail sack. 1t was unopened, Its con-
tents undisturbed, its rusty paddock
still in place. The perpetrator Of the
crime had not soiled his person with
any visible evidence Of guilt and so
was eve ~apprehended.
Then for q time BIN entered upon
great trials. Jack Kelso weakened.
Burning with fever, his mind wan
dered in the pleasant paths he loved
and saw in It's fancy the deeds of
Ajax and Achilles and the tOpless tow-
ers of Hlium and came not back again
to the vulgar and prosaic details OF
life. The girl knew not what to do.
A funeral was a costly thing. She
had no money. The Kinzies had gone
on a hunting trip in Wisconsin. Mrs.
Hubbard was i'll and the Kelsos al
ready much in her debt. Mr.. Lionel
Davis came.
He was a g~ood-looking young mar
of twenty-nine, those days, rather
stout and of middle stature, with dark
hair and eyes. He was dressed In the
height of fashion. He used to boast
that he had only one vice-diamonds.
But he had ceased to display them on
his shirt-front or his fingers. He a r
ried them in his pockets and showed
them by the glittering handful to his
friends. They had come to him
through trading in land where they
were the accepted symbol of success
and money was none too plentiful.
He had melted their settings and
turned them into cola. The stones he
kept as a kind of surplus-a half hid

n1ov Mr. navic UoS O calculating
masterful, keen-minded man, with a
rather heavy jaw. In his presence,
BIN was afraid Of her soul that night.
He was gentle and sympathetic. He
offered to lend her any amount she
needed. She made no answer but sat
trying to think what she would best
do. The Traylors had paid no atten-
ton to her letter, although a month
had passed since it was written.
In a moment she rose and gave him
her hand.

enough" she said.

and into others, of which her woman's
heart had found abundant signs in
the attitude of Mr.. Davis. He gave
