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 ak Or the saw. He could
not think of leaving the little cabin

around it 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 it, He would try again
for a place in which lie could serve
them and if he could learn TO serve
Sangamon county he could learn to
serve the state and, possibly, even the

little cry of alarm and astonish-

for Sarah. He returned to New Salem
with q heavy heart Sarah stood in the
open door as he drove up.

Without word, Sarah followed him
TO the barn, with the tin lantern in her
hand. He gave her Il hug as he get
down from the wagon. He was little
