SPANISH PEGcgr ASTORY OF YOUNG ILLINOIS 7"- " By MART HAHTWtU. CATHERWOOD Copyright. 139. fcyHrbrtaSttmeCo. CHAPTER I. Abraham Lincoln lay stretched on his stomach, his head supported by his hands, facing the cooper's, fireplace- A blaze of shavings and blocks lighted cobwebby beams . overhead, clean staves and hoop-poles standing around the wall, the cooper's work-bench and tools, -the lank, aguish face of a man who sat on a keg beside the. hearth, holding a book from which the young student recited. The shop had part of - a log left out in the side, filled, like all New Salem windows, with oiled paper instead of glass.' Outer -darkness made this a blurred oblong framed by Jogs. People knew that the cooper let young Lincoln turn his shop into a study every, evening, and no one be fore this night had come picking at the latch. "The string's pulled in Minter," said Lincoln, turning his head, as sup pressed laughter and a shuffle of feet on the log step disturbed his recitation. "Never mind the boys; they'll go way pretty soon." "Maybe the Grove fellows have come "to town," said the aguish young man on the keg, listening anxiously. "They'd as lief break in the cooper's paper as not." "I reckon we'd better hurry, any 'way," urged the student, and he con tinued repeating as rapidly as he could "the remainder of the lesson." Presently with a click the door "turned back on its wooden hinges and bumped the wall. "I know you, Slicky," declared the interrupted scholar without looking. "'Come in. Folks wouldn't give you the name of Slicky Green if you hadn't a -way of getting what you want." He , scooped a double handful of blocks -add shavings on the blaze, and, warned "by some unusual restraint at the door, .hastily drew up his length before the -fire. It showed him a slim giant in bftre homespun trousers, which did not -quite cover his ankles, and an open -roundabout hanging loosely from the shoulders, and betraying the fact that his vest was buttoned crooked. See ing a stranger on the threshold with the boy he called Slicky, Lincoln ran his hand through his dark hair, leaving It tossed in every direction. "How did you know I was home from college, Abe? Dick and I rode In from the farm on purpose to see you. This is Dick Yates, one of our boys from the Jacksonville school. . Dick, this is Abe Lincoln." "How do you do, Dick?" said Abe, -offering his hand. "How do you do, Abe?" said Dick, -eeizing it "And here's our schoolmaster, Minter Grayham." continued Slicky, presenting the pale occupant of the keg. Minter rose with the dignity of a man who often pronounced words of five syllables. The mounting firelight found reflecting threads in Dfck Yates bright auburn hair. The schoolmaster thought him a beautiful young fellow, with modest manners. His features, perfectly modeled and rosy as a girl's, were manly, from full forehead to out fitanding chin. Though of a robust, well knit figure for a lad of 18, his head barely reached Lincoln's shoulder as the two stood looking at each other. "I've been telling Dick so much about you, Abe. that be wanted to sea you." said Slicky. Abe blushed and Disk blushed, with eager friendliness and recognition of power "Are you studying Blacks tone?" inquired Dlek, indicating the huge book which Minter Grayham held closed. "Tea. It's mighty tateresttoe read ing to me." "I'm going to study law, too. But it cares me to death to begin a debate; and Slicky says you make a line speech." "If I ever met you as an opponent. I'd want some advantage. S"pose we make a compact to work together on our first case?" "Done!" said Yates. "It's as good -as won." "William Green!" spoke a girl's voice from the humid spring darkness out side; "have you forgot how bad the wolves are in the timber we have to ride through?" ? "Come in, girls!" exclaimed the pro prietor of the rough study. His tutor echoed the invitation. "It's Abe's re cess. Come in, Nancy and Ann Rut ledge, and the rest of you." j Half a. dozen figures emerged from the night of the village street, bearing i Nancy Green company, laughing and half reluctant; and let themselves be j coaxed into sharing a long bench which the boys drew up before the fire. It was like an invasion of swallows. Abe raked up all the shavings and blocks and brought them to the hearth. A festive spirit filled the place. Nearly all the girls were bareheadr". in linsey dresses. They had stepped Out Of their homes along the winding toad for the mere pleasure of being abroad and free from the tasks at the end of the day; with the exception of Naftcy Green, and Martha Bell Clary, who had come from Clary's Grove to stay all night with Mahala Cameron. A siml lar group of young people in a French cabin would have cleared the floor directly for dancing, all the merrier for having met unexpectedly. But . these children of serious Massachusetts. Tennessee, Carolina, and Kentucky j pionprs fcoH experience meeting in EtOd. T!io state was still so younr, and their knowledge of the -wide world so limited, that they and their elders took primitive delight In telling over their own adventures. The oftener a story was repeated the-more dignity It acquired. "Talking about wolves," said young Green, when nobody had said a word about wolves since the girls' -entrance, looking at his sister with sly enjoy ment, "I was going afoot to the mill early one morning last summer, and met two in the path a black one and a gray one. I stood still and looked at them, and they stood still and looked at me. I knew If I turned to run they would pull me down in" a minute. Finally I whipped out my jack-knife and cut a rosm--weed, and lashed at them, yelling with all my might. They were so scarred they ran like "sheep." "Or like that wagon that you stopped before we came to Illinois," retorted his sister Nancy. "When daddy was going to move from Car'lina "he bought a new wagon. "We children bad never seen such a thing, and we climbed the spokes, and William took "hold of the chain on the tongue. The wagon 3tarted down hill, and everybody let go but William. The tongue ran into a tree and broke, and left the chain in his hand. T was going to Tiold on if it killed .me, mother,' says he. 'For if that wagon had got away, how were we going to move out to Illinois?" "Speaking about sheep," continued young Green, as if he had not heard the wagon story, "daddy told Nancy when she was herding the sheep, that She must carry a bag with her and save the wool that stuck to the bushes. Our old ewe was tame, and it was easier to : pick the "wool ofT her back than to : hunt through the bushes. So "Nanoy 'picked the old ewe, and came home 1 with a full poke two nights hand run ! ning. The first night daddy praised her; but the second night he found it out!" "I wasn't ten years old then," re membered Nancy ; "and my conscience hart me worse the first night than daddy's punishment did the second." "That reminds me, Nancy," said Lincoln, "of what your mother told me Slicky did when he was about ten years old. He brought to s&xae frozen eggs A FURIOUS WOMAN WHACKED THE WRITHING OBJECT WITH A CRUTCH AS HARD AS SHE COULD PLANT THE BLOWS. and raked out the coals and put the aggs to thaw on her best pewter platter. -She said when she found the melted pewter running all over the hearth she Celt discouraged about him!" Ann Rutledge laughed, and flung one of her thick auburn braids behind her shoulder. "Haven't you any tale to tell of Abe, Minter Grayham?" Minter Grayham. used to having his name prolonged by the soft southern drawl with gentle familiarity, smiled and shook his head. No one around the cooper's fire-place had a sense of the degradation of poverty or the triviality of any human experience. Life in New Salem was full of zest which they brought- from Massa chusetts, from Kentucky and Tennes see and Carolina mountains, and from good English ancestry; though It was merely the ordinary pioneer life of a young state. As Abe cast on more fuel and the blaze flared higher, a scream like a rabbit's pierced the doorway, and something writhed over the step on the puncheon floor. A furious woman, the vision of a witch, with beard grow ing tufted on her long chin, whacked the writhing object with a crutch as hard as she could plant the blows. Awn Rutledge screamed. "Hold oh!" cried Lincoln in two or three long strides. "Don't do that!" He received on his arm the last stroke of the stick, Which the woman carried with her as she ran from him. "Oh, my dear!" said Ann, brushing shavings off a little girl whom she helped Up from the floor, "are you hurtr . "Sally got me that time!" the child answered, hopping to balance herself, and laughing while tears rah down her cheeks. "She took" my crutch from me so I couldn't run. But I saw this door open, and goody! ..I'm in!" "And she was born a white woman!" -ri-3 Ann indignantly. "Sally Shick j;;;': t Saves lil e a sr.vrc!

Tni not a Spaniard!" denied Peg gy, facing down the accusation vehe mently. "I'm white!" , "Spaniards are white." "I'm like white folks in New Salem," insisted Peggy, repudiating the vague foreign taint. . She saw the young Rut ledges and Mahala Cameron and Martha Bell Clary looking at her sus piciously. Spanish governors cut no figure in the imagination ef New Sa lemites. "I suppose you are of mixed blood, and really ought to be called a Creole,' pursued Dick, interested in the case. "That's a kind of a pullet.", whis pered Martha Bell to Mahala. - "I'm not of mixed blood!" cried Peg gy, unable to bear any more. "Why, everybody here is -of mixed blood!" asserted Dick, and that was a comfort It gave her the chance to look back at her antagonists. "Have you never told her that she was Spanish?" Dick inquired of Shick shack. The silent Indian shook his head. His impassive face glowed in the fire light. Young Yates seemed to have cast a spell on him.' From the con tents of his heavy game-bag, which he had unslung as he entered and left be side his gun, to the secrets of his past, he was ready iq lay everything he owned at the young chief's feet. "How did the Sac brave come to adopt the-Spanish child?" "inquired Dick. Shickshack ' silently admired . his knowledge of how to address a Sac brave without offensively shouting out that brave's name in public. "No father. No mother. Me hunt with her father on the Platte. Me love white men since that time. Never in my life me shed white man's blood. When he die he give his child to me." "Was Peggy lame from the start?" inquired Ann. Shickshack looked at her steadily without replying. Then he shook his head. "Me love white men. Me marry white woman," he answered, and dropped his face. "Does he mean that Sally lamed her?" whispered Ann to Lincoln. "Sally is a mighty energetic wom an," admitted Lincoln, smiling, from the hearth corner. A huge mole showed in the crease made under his cheek by a smile. "Will the young chief be here to morrow?" Shickshack asked Dick Tates. "No. We must go back to Jackson ville to-morrow." Slicky Green added that it was not vacation time. The two had begged a day oft" on account of his extreme homesickness and would have to ride early next morning. Me like to talk," said the Sac, fix ing his gaze on Dick. "Me have some thing for the young chief's ear." "We can take a walk together now," suggested Dick. Shickshack rose up at once.' The sheath of a long hunting-knife hung down his side by a leather strap. He had kept Peggy's crutch in his hand. He stood it against the wall beside the chimney, and Dick stepped over the bench to follow him. "Hello!" shouted a cheerful voice. Two horses were brought up abreast, facing the. door, their hoofs at the very step. Light shone out over them and their riders, revealing the weekly mail carrier with the post-bag from Spring field bulging on each side of his sad dle, and hi leggins splashed with mud, and a stranger having black eyes and hair and mustache, whose entire equipment was foreign. Shickshack stood while he drew one breath and looked at the stranger. For the first time a Sac war-whoop was heard in New Salem, and as he yelled he snatched his hunting-knife from its sheath. CHAPTER IL The whole village knew before bed time how- Shickshack had threatened' the stranger. . A community of Interest as swift as the telephone carried news the length of the winding street.. . "Shickshack screeched loud--enough' to be heard at Wolf," gasped Mahala Camergr, telling the tale to her folks, "and drew his knife and jumped at the man like a wildcat!" "And Abe Lincoln and the other boys caught him," put in Martha Bell Clary, assisting her. "The man's horse and the mall-carrier's horse both reared up they were scared nearly to death like the rest of us! But just as soon as the boys caught hold of Shickshack he dropped his head and stood like he was ashamed." "He's a live Indian yet," said Ma hala Cameron's father. "He'll stir him self and take a scalp one of these days. I wonder, what he had . against the stranger?". Rutledge's tavern entertained rare travelers who stayed over night In New Salem. The candles were all put out early, yet before folks covered their fires they had in some way absorbed the facts about the new arrival. He was a well-spoken man, with a for eign twist to his tongue, inclined to laugh at the rage of Shickshack, whom he knew very well. He told openly that he was Don Pedro Lorimer, a sugar planter from the island of Cuba, and that his errand through the states was political in the main; though he intended when other matters pressed him less, to remove his half wild young cousin, Consuelo Lorimer, from the care of the Indian, who had taken ad vantage of her father's death on the plains to adopt her. A tropical sun had given him the darkest skin ever carried by a white man am 1 New Salem. He walked abroad - early morning, and hav ing had '-shack's closed house pointed out him, stood and looked at it smiling, without attempting to enter.

Shick shack said he loved to see the deer galloping in the bottoms, or to watch them as they gathered in hesis, the sun shining in their eyes. New Salem was a single long and winding street on a high ridge, which sloped so suddenly on both sides that ' all the gardens ran down hill. Seen from the schoolhouse, it looked like : a huge wave of earth riding against the northern horizon. The school- j house, standing at the base of another ridge, was divided from the village by a deep ravine, through which ran a small stream called Rock creek. I The schoolhouse was the only meet ing place. Its log stack and white clay chimney represented church, town hall i and theater if so godless a place as a theater had been allowed in New Salem. It was headquarters on mus ter days, and the arena of those wordy wars which the pioneers called de bates. Eager to hear any strange, new thing, the whole town floeked across Rock creek as soon- as candles began to bloom like primroses at dusk in boot-shaDed sconces on the schoolhouse (TO BE CONTINUED.)
