"I mean what 1 sold." retorted Abe with dlifnlty "Now, Dan. when do yoo reckon you'll discompose dis yer Bearfiirlous deed?" "TonlKhf Tonight I ain't got no time fer reflecksbom," bemoaned Abe. "De lees refleckshunilng you do, Abe Dfiggs, de nearer yon'U get to dat $40," warned Dan as he arose to go, "loo be at yopr back fence prezactiy st ii o'clock, when de moon sets, and da rest is eaay. My mule waggln II be back in de woods, and In half an hour tbe bnll thing will be did." "AJ1 right: I'll be dere," muttered Ahe ss be went dejectedly sway. Once Inside of bis homely little cabin Abe bang bis bat on lu accustomed peg and sat down lu bis big rocking chair. It was s ery tidy, comfortable little borne, with a rag carpet on the floor and a battered hot shining little cook stove In one corner. There were many little evidences of Hannah Mary's lore, for Uncle Abe beard often from his devoted daughter In New York. Over the mantelpiece bung Uncle Abe's choicest treuaure, a large en graved portrait of his Idol, Abraham Lincoln, wboae lore of right aud Jus tice bad struck the shackles or slavery from Abe's wrists as well ss those of thousands of his people. The portrait of Abraham Lincoln was an Inspiration and a compnnlon to Abe ltiggs. There were aouta in the Baptist chape) who complained that Abe followed the precepts of Lincoln rather than those laid down In the Bible, but the parson defended Abe by retorting that as Abraham Lincoln had the good boob for hie guide Alie could Dot be far wrong. Now, Abe, aa usual when be was troubled, addressed tue portrait of the deliverer. "IScuse me, Marse Linkum." he laid apologetically; "I's got ter ask yon a question. I reckon you'd think it was wicked If I was to transform a him dred of Kunnel Twiddle's bens to Pnn I'leer and take $40 ter git no th to Huu nnb Mury, even If ) paid buck the $10 aoon's 1 could git some chores" Abe stopped short. Even in the lamplight be could see the kindly face of Abraham Lincoln looking down at him, and the eyes were sad so very sad and diaappror lug. "Lordy!" quavered Abe. and mount lag upon a chair be turned tbe frame toward tbe wall, so that tbe accusing eyes could no longer follow him. "0b. 1 itotter do It," be muttered, as be clambered breathlessly down. "If I don't see them little cbllluns this win ter, laik ss not I never will, nohow P Ills mind quite made up, Abe hob bled around tbe room, making s pot of strong tea and frying some bacon aud hominy for bis supper. He heated some bricks and put them between tbe sheets of his bed so thnt It might be warm tor bis rheumatic limbs when he crept under tbe covers to sleep until midnight. Ue did not sleep. . Ue shivered uutU his cracked old clock wbeesed out the hour of 12; then be got up and dressed and swallowed some scalding coffee to Infuse warmth Into bis shaklug limbs. At 1 o'clock be was crouching la tbe shadow of Colonel Twiddle's bren bouse, waiting for Dan Fleer. Far away In the dark woods sn owl hooted, and later came tbe sbarp bark of a foi. Then, echoing, came tbe bollow "heehaw" of Dan Fleer's mule. "Lordyr shivered Abe, thinking of Abraham Lincoln's accusing eyes. "Whatever would Marse Linkum think of dis yere bixneaa T" Momenta passed a half boor, sod still Dan Fleer did not come. Abe pictured Dan thrashing the big male with a stout stick. On critical occa sions like the present the male chose to eierclse bis characteristic obstinacy. Tbe moon bad set and darkness wrapped tbe undulating fields. Tbe group of henhouses bulked large In the foreground. Over yonder, lieyoud the group of tall holly trees, was the Twld die mansion. Its windows were dark The colonel's family slept peacefully, not suspecting thnt tbelr humble neigh bor and frteud. Abe Drlggs. was plot ting to rob the henroost Abe writhed In self contempt. Then resolve took possession of Dim and sent him hurrying dewn to bis cabin. Five minutes afterward be came forth with tbe picture of Abra ham Lincoln under hit ana. "1 dassent do It without your help, sab."' he addressed the portrait "It's a case of where I's gutter hive a boost and dey ain't any one here oa yearth kin stand by me like you kin! 8o with Abraham Lincoln as t moral support to lean bis weak will upoo poor old Abe Prtggs climbed ths slope to the henhouses, squeeied through tbe fence and theu struck Into the pstb that led down to the Twiddle mansion As he approached tbe house doc stirred In the kennels, but reeokHlrliiBT a friendly stop returned to his slumber. Ate'a heart contracted at tbe thought that Dan Fleer had counted on Abe's good reputation and his friendship with the Twiddle dnirs to accomplish the theft without dtocoTery. What happened to A lie Drtgga after wrisI Dan did not care. Avert trm rmprnse was to go to ftia back door, but It was doubtful if he could arouse Colonel Twtddie In that way. So be reluctantly went to the trout door and reverently pulled tbe big brass betlknob- Tue clanging sound thrilled through the great rooms of ths house. There was a distant stirring overhead. A I!gbt pricked out of the darkness, and Abe, peering tbruucb the side lights of the door, could see Colonel Twtddie. wrapped In his dressing gown, descend tug tbe stairs, hokling s lighted rati die. At tbe bead of the stairs fluttered white roties that indicated that Una Twiddle and the young ladies had a bio been aroused by the uneipectrd sum tuons. Doubtless visions of telegrams con talnlug direful news hovered a round them. What the colonel thought "tie nilctji not goes, but Ate u i. -d t!:ji i i w tiiie bair a as ti;un l vrt n tt- hcd at.d that tave ! hi siera !- ruree s rat tin n.r i r u ;'LW.t It tany fcJean Jall-but bold tight. liasa Linkum. 1 gotter do il!" whisiered Abe aa tbe d.Kir was thrown open. "Well?" demanded the colonel, peer ing out Into the porch "Oh. it's you. Abe! What in thunder do cou want at this time of D'ht?" "Please. Kunnel Twiddie. I gotter ee yon most Important, sah." pleaded Abe. "Very well, come In-but what has happened that you are wandering around st mlduigbt with a picture un der your arrni Your bouse hasn't burned down, ebf" "No. sah. thank de Lord." returned Abe. then clutching the fr.ime tlgatly under his urn he launched forth Into his story He spared no detail of tbe plot to steal the colonel's c hi. keus. ex cept thnt be. would not divulge the names of the other conpl'-iror - Dun Fleer snd tbe hotel proprietor "A set of scoundrels'" fumed the colonel testily, turning toward tbe stairs, and Abe saw to bis mortifica tion that Mrs. Twtddie and her two lovely daughters bad donned dressing gowns and formed an Interested audi ence on tbe stairs. "You mustn't blame Uncle Abe, llor ace," protested Mrs. Twiddle. "Yes. ole miss," sold Ahe sadly. "I done nlanned ter stonl them tu ns l tnlked It over with Marse I.;nknm und he looked so unclnirally sail am disgusted dnt I turned his kind liu- to de wall mul went uiy wicked way Den, waiting dere by de henhouse for D de odder villuu. sail.

So Colonel Twiddle' lighted the bli globulur lump on the newel post and made Alie display his treasure and ex plain bow It hml helped him to over come the temptation to steal in order to obtain tbe much coveted money to pay his expenses north, where Hannah Mary and the "clillliin" n waited bis coming. "If 1 die before I gits dere," Abe ended gravely, "1 reckon my con science will be clear anyways! And dat's somethiiiK. even If dem iore cnil. tuns don't never see dere wicked old gruudpappy!" Colonel Twiddles bund enme down upon the bent shoulder "Don't you worry about that. Abe." he said hearti ly.

Afterward It devemtxi! that tbey had never reached in ren drzvous, for the rnu!e bud t"c t.-.i remain at tbe cross roads nun. .luun Tbe next day Abe sent word to im, that be had sold his place and h going north at once And when Hannah Mary and t mocb udmlred grandchildren met I i. rle Abe In the railroad station Han Bah Mary relieved the bewildered mo man of a large square package "Don't let no harm come to dat Han rah Mary." cautioned Abe "If it hadn't been for Ms Linkum I wouldn't have been hen? at all."
