Wherein Abe Lincoln Reveals His
Method of Conducting a Lawsuit in
the Case of Henry Brimstead ct AL,
VS.. Lionel Davis.

They found many of Davis notes
in Tazewell county. Abe Lincoln's
complaint represented seven clients
and a sum exceeding twenty thousand
dollars.
With the papers IN his pocket Harry
went on TO the Honey Creek settle

plague had spent itself and that BIN
had gone to a detention camp outside
the city of Chicago. He was not per-
mitted to see her, the regulations hav-
ing become very strict. In the city he
went to the store Of Eli F~redenberg.
The merchant received him with en-
thusiasm. Chicago had begun to re-

lively.
Harry spent the afternoon with Mrs.

CHAPTER XIII.
Which Presents the Pleasant Comedy
of I~ndividuaIism in the New Capital,
and the Courtship of Lincoln and
Mary Todd.

Samson, with "Mr. Nimble" on a
pad stuffed with straw in front of
him, logged across the p~rairies and
waded the creeks and sloughs On his
way to Springfield. The little lad was
in his fourth year that summer. He
slept and talked much on the way and
kept Samson busy with queries about
the sky and the creeks and the great
f1owery meadows.
They camped the first night in a
belt of timber and Samson writes that
the boy "slept snug against me with
his head on my arm. He went to sleep
crying for his mother" He adds:
sit reminded me of the old days of
my young fatherhood. Mr.. Nimble'
wanted to pick all the flowers and
splash his bare feet in every stream.
In the evening he would talk to the
stars as if he were playing with them.
He is like some of the grown folks in
Chicago. He would sit hanging on to
the reins and talk to the horse and
to God by the hour. He used to tell
me that God was a friend Of his and
I think he vas right. 1t was good
luck to get back to Sarah and the
children. They took the little stran-
ger into their hearts. Heart room,
house room is the motto of this part
of the country"
1t was a new town to which Samson
returned. The governor and the state
officers had moved to Springfield. The
