He does not judge after the sight of

about it"
In April Abe wrote another address
to the voters announcing that he was
again a candidate for a seat in the
legislature. Late that month Harry
walked with him TO Pappsville where
crowd had assembled to attend q
public sale. At one place there were
men in the crowd who knew Harrys
record in the war. They called on
need of the means of transportation
in Sangamon county with such insight
and dignity and convincing candor
that both Abe and the audience hailed
him as coming man. Abe and he
We're often seen together those days.
In New Salem they We're called the
disappointed lovers. 1t was known
there that Abe was very fond of Ann
Rutledge, although he had not. as yet,
openly confessed to any one--not even
to Ann-there being no show of hope
for him. Ann was deeply in love with
John McNeil--the genial. handsome
and successful young 1rishman. The
j affair had reached the stage of frank
ness, Of an open discussion Of plans,
of fond affection expressing itself In
caresses quite Indifferent to ridicule.
For Ann it had been like warm sun
light on the growing rose. She was
neater in dress, iOvelier in form ana
color, more graceful in movement and
SWeeter-vOiced than ever she had been.
] 1t is the old way that Nature has OF
preparing the young TO come out upon
the stage of real life and to act in its
moving scenes. Abe manfully gave
them his best wishes and when he
spoke Of Ann it was done very ten
derby. The look of sadness, which all
had noted in his moments Of abstrac-
ton, deepened and often covered his
face with its veil. That is another
way that Nature has of preparing the
young For these the roses have fallen
and only the thornS remain. They
are not lured; they seem to be driven

late, her method changes

The minister rescued him and the dog

Then Abe told Samson what was

some bushes by the roadside while the
minister sat close against an end of
