i HE SHALL! i NOT DIE 1 4 2 A True Story In the Life of President Lincoln By f. . MITCH EL I Though the following incident In the i career of the martyr president it a etory. It Is nut a product of the luug- , IntHlon. Indeed, there re ccrum ; phases In this rm.irknhle nun'i life that stein too eacred to lie made the uhjtvt of Inventive llteriiture. Xor Is fiere any mini for Invention It would I only tvenken Instead of strengthen the story. This one of many merciful axis ! of Mr I.liixoln'a In glveu Jut as It ov- 1 currcd. The (.xmiIiic of the war brought a host of lioiileversenit'iiK Many net- ; nous xx ho hJ leeu prosixerous, rich, found ail they hurt possessed swept I axxav, some of them being oxerhur deiteil with ilelit thev could not pay. Among these was a clergyman, a Mr. I.uckctt, who waa too oid to recover from the misfortune the war brought unon Mm. He was at the time living In Missouri, though he bad beeu In charge of churches In many of the western states, ile had been able to pither a small awn to provide for him in his old nge. and now the gTe.it crisis that had come upon the nation took this away from him. Ile was too old to secure a pastorate and too old to engage In any kind cf business. A niece llvlug lu Memphis, Tenn.. hearing of his pitiable condition, ln Tltsl him to visit her. lie did so while lu a condition of deep depression. His misfortunes coming when his physical forces were breaking away may have ! affecled his mind. At any rate. It la j Impossible to conivlve of a man Involv ing himself as he did while In full no-: session of his faculties. i lemphis was then In possession of I the Federal forces under command of ; General Hurlbut It was to the In- j "TOCB FATHEbS LIFI 1H SAFE.'' terest of the United States government at the time to prevent supplies from beln? carried through the lines to the Confederates, and for this purpose aplea were employed to watch for it sons engaged In sm h lrafh. The spy system, notwithstanding that It has figured largely In romance, is not likely to enlist those who are Inspired by j , tue uigtiest motives j wraie oi tnese unscrupulous arsons I found a victim In the old clergvman Hearing him lament the less of Is fortune, they suggested a way for him to recover it. They told him that the southern people xvere greatly In need, among other things, of quinine und percussion caps and would pay enor mous prl(s? for these articles. Whether Jlr. Luckett was aware that su.-h traffic was forbidden by the L'nited States government and that the pun Lshment Attached to It was death does not npar. And even If he was his lieing drawn Into su- h a trap Is hardly conceivable In u man of sound mind. Of course the men who induce. bim to ship the supplies utopiied them be fore they Iiml crossed the lines, and Mr. Luckett was arrested. Thar a court martial should have found him guilty of furnishing aid and comfort to the enemy Is not surprising, ('nurts mar tlal are makeshifts In wartime. Just as Judge Lyn h is used In new ly set tled countries overrun by criminals, where the protection nfford.-d by the law of the land tends rather t" defeat than to establish Justice. P,i;t f,,r liny body of Unit 'd Strops off! cers t't con demn a broken down old man to death for such an offense is to say the leas', unmerciful. Nex-erf heiev, Mr I.nck ett. who had spent his life preaching the gospel, was sentenced ri .P shot. The scene of our story now shifts to the capital of the nation, where everv one from the president down to the S'-ullion In the l.itchun was absorbed In the great struggle lietween the north mid south. A gentleman end his r.-;fe who had cume from the west plighted from a train and pursued their way through streets crowded with army wagons, soldiers, pedestriana, marching cavalrymen and artillery to the house of representatives Arriving there, the frentleman sent his card to a member of congress Voorheos of In diana, afterward a senator of national refutation. The card lre the name of Bullitt, a resident of the congrea sional district represented by Mr. Voor beea. The latter arose from his desk, lolned Mr. Bullitt, with whom be waa well acquainted, and the two went o the anteroom, where Mrs. Bullitt awalt xtd them. Thy found her very much agitated, and she greeted Mr. Voor bees with the words: ily fa'ber la to be shot the day alter tomorrow. It behooved the congressman to do what he could for the unfortunate wo man, though it bartlr seemed possible mm Mmim auiU l'.e lurino'l oT it gicat war ill Hie capital, tthcie it s Mug directed, to do anything The mutter of up plying mil ami comfort to the enemy Mas u crime as serious ns gUing Infor mation of military moxetueiiK unlet) pm.Mial'le with the hulici The only niateiial at band ith hi.

Mr. Lincoln r.s elvcd them with- j oiu delay, and Senator Lane stated the ! case.

"I'M your father preach In Spring field years ago?" "He did" This Is sfrnnL-e." sni.l the president thoughtfully. "I have often heard him preach, an! I've ofen been mistaken for him. He Is a tall, dark romplexloned man. very like me. And tie Is to be I shot tomorrow. No, no: there slmll be i no shooting or hanging in this case! There must be something the matter with him or be wouhl not have been . aught In such an affair as this." Then, turning to Sirs Itnllltt. he added. "1 don't know how I shall proceed ia the matter, but you may rest assured, my . MM. that your father's life Is safe." Before the party left him .Mr. Lin coln summoned a telegraph operator from an adjoining room and dictated a dispatch to General Hurlbut at Mem phis directing him to snss-nd the ex ecution of Henry M. I.nckett and await further orders In the case. This sudden change from death to life in the rase of her father was a great strain on Mrs. Bullitt. She be came hysterical, crying and laughing by turns. Xor was the Incident with out effect upon the others of the party. some of whom wer In tears. The president showed his own emotion by repeating to hlme!f: j "Henry SI Lm ketr: No. no; ther shall be no shooting in this case." !
