"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

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

"1 dassent do It without your help,

poor old Abe Prtggs climbed ths slope
to the henhouses, squeeied through tbe
fence and theu struck Into the pstb

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

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

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.

"Well?" demanded the colonel, peer

Abe! What in thunder do cou want
at this time of D'ht?"
"Please. Kunnel Twiddie. I gotter

Abe.
"Very well, come In-but what has
happened that you are wandering
around st mlduigbt with a picture un

"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

"Marse Lincolnwhat on earth does

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

"If 1 die before I gits dere," Abe
ended gravely, "1 reckon my con
