his beloved mother ne filed no vln-

death, about two years ago, that
his mother's klsler niwl niief
:hey could Kive tho facts to the
world.'
What they now reveal tore; nol
historian's suesses bnned on offi
cial documents and glimpses of
friends and acquaintances, it is
.ho truth from those who saw with
their own eyes from tlmso who
lived with the IJncolns and loved
them and suffered with them as
their own flesh und blood.
Lincoln's I.rttlo KisU'r" .
She whom Lincoln always called
"little sister," KmillC Todd Holm,
has given her diary to her daugh
ter, Kate Helm, known as "the
little rebel iu the White House."
With this intimate record, which
includes (ht rireiwl war ltpriml
when Mnrv I.lncnln's linlf-KisIei !
and niece -ived with the .Lincolns;
with precious unpuhlinhcd family
letters and tetters of Mary's closest
friends, Kate Helm has written for
MeCufl'H Magazine a biography of
"Mary. Wife of Lincoln'' .which
ant only will change the world's
idea of her ' but which, historians
und Lincoln authorities say, will
-et the history of the groat presl-
lent In a new light.
In the old Helm home in Lex
ington, Ky., Mrs. Kmllle Helm,
who Is still tlio vivacious southern
belle at 3, and her daughter have
been working over t ho biography.
They have been aided by William i
il.'TownseiKl, whose researches on
Lincoln , have made, him famous
ind-the' possessor of the third lar
et collection of Lincolnluua, and
by- Otis- L. M'icse, editor of Mc
Call's. .
"What did Lincoln say when he
first mot Mary Todd? What did
shfrfs'ijy' What did they think of
each other? The Helm biography
reveals-that the - love of Lincoln
and axywas a ense of mutual at
Lracllun at -first sight as well ns an
enduring love. Kays Miss Helm in
describing this meeting:
"On being presented to her," ho
said, 'MisH Todd 1 wnnt tfi dance
.Pilh Vou the worst way And
Mary with a roguish smilo and a
twinkle. In her eyen, said after the
party hi recounting the incident to
her cousin, Elizabeth Todd, . 'And
he certainly did'.' "
Love Itipened Quickly
Lincoln called on her and they
lipcnne friends very quickly. What
j could they hnv1Mllri'rommon, these
(two wjo were ho different in rear
ing and temperament and man
jners?. What Mary really felt was
I first revealed irt this incident, de
j scribed for the. first , time in the
i Helm biography '.
j ," 'The rough diamond from Ken
itucky is much loo rugged for your
! little while hands to attempt to
polish.' Joked her cousin, Stephen
Logan.N 'To polish a stone like
that." snid' Mary dreamily, 'would
be the task of a' lifetime hut what
a Joy to see the beauty and bril
liance shine out more clearly each
j day, but the important thing Is the
under its film.' ? - .
Despite the family opposition.
! they became engaged. Of their
beautifut courtship, their lovers'
quarrels and reconciliations Miss
Helm tells many new. stories. She
relates how Mary once said to
him, "flo, and never, never, never
come back." Thin was when he
came to her one day and told her'
he released her. from the engage
ment. He said this after a mis
inderst&nding he had arrived
late for taking her to a promised
party and found sh had gone with
Stephen Douglas, with whom he
found her dancing and flirting. He
did not reiuize that thin was mere-
Jly a lover's pique and thought she
was through with him.
This incident .was the only basis
for the story published In some
biographies, that Lincoln Jilted
Mary on the wedding day. v
How they secretly achieved the
reconciliation they both so pas
sionately desired and werft married
beforfe the end of the year, is told
by Miss Helm In a really tender
story.
1 Visiting iho Obi Home
In 1847, the mother of: two smin
and the wife of Congressman Lin
coln, Mary visited her -old home.
On this event, Mlrfw Helm quotes
(mm her mother's diary:
"It was a cold day in November
: jrnd the wide hall was chilly no the
! duor was thrown open to receive
jthem. The' white family stood near
j the front door with welcoming
j arms, and, in true patriarchal
i style, our colored contfngont filled
the rear of the hall to shake hands
with the long-absent .one and
I 'make a miration' ovqr -the babies,
i Mary came in first with little
,K(hlie, the baby, in her arms.
-"Mr. Lincoln followed her Into
the hall with his liltleton. Robert
Todd, in his arms. After nhaking
'hands with all the grown-ups Mr.
Lincoln turned nnd, lifting me In
his arms, said 'So this Is little
sister.' 'J was always after that
called by him 'little ulster.' HiM
; voice and smile, banished my fear
, of the giant." ' 1
1 "Little Ulster" later vbdted the
Lincolns nd wrote In her diary:
"Mary enjoyed reading a wide
range of subjects, oflen reviewing
a book for Mr. Lincoln. I heard
him say he had no need thread n
hook after Mary gave him a
synopsis. He bad great respect
.for her Judgment and never took
an Important tetp without consult
I lng her,"
Knew ffe Vs Y tt
And when Lincoln's name began
to be mentioned for the presi
dency: "Mr. Lincoln persisted in his
modest estimate of himself. I
must in all candor say I do not
think myself fit for the presidency'
Mury laughed at him for thinking
himself "not fit," "Vou'vo no equal
in the 'tilted States.' she declared.
She really thought he had no equal
in the world."
- When the Civil War came, its
terrible throes echoed and l e
echoi'd In her day after day: but
in her spirit there was no seces
sion from the spirit of her hustmnd
or from the principles for which
he fough. 1 1 or brothers were In
the confederate army and two of
them were killed and nun gravely
injure d. Her brother-in-law,
Kmllie's husband. Hen Hardin
Helm, had refused a commission
offered htm by Lincoln and Joined
iho southern army. He, ioo, was
killed. Hut the While House wuh
not, as some have declared, a
house devided against Itself. It
was a household of souls each di
vided against itself.
Her Hidden Sorrow
"Mary Lincoln did rejoice at the
union victories," Miss Helm writes,
"but, oh. what n price to pay! Not
even tho poor consolation of open
sorrow for her dear dond! She
must hide from prying, suspicious
and unsympathetic eyes every evi
dence of .grief at the blotting out
of a confederate soldier no matter
how near ami dear to her, or be
branded A traitor to her country
and hang, as a millstone around
thu neck of her adored husband.
Grieving inconsolably over the
death of her little son, Willie, she
shed also many a secret tear and
bitter tear for her fin young
brothers."
Kmilie, Lincoln's' "little sister,"
was1 now a widow and wanted to
go back home. Hut she refused to
take an oath of allegiance to (he j
United States which would have j
passed her through the northern
army lines. It was then that Lin
coln sent that message : '"Semi her
to me." Hero is rCmllie's ovvii de-!
scriptlon of how she wan received:
"Mr. Lincoln and my sisier met
me with- the warmest affection,
we were all too grief stricken at
first for speech. I have lout my
husband, they havo lost their fine
little son nnd Mary and I have lost
three brothers in the confederate
service. - .
'Sister Mary's tenderness for me
Is very touching. She and brother
Lincoln pot me as if 1 were a child.
and, -without words, try to comfort
me." .
Speech rrnni a Stricken Heart t
(Mien one day Mary talked' from'
the depths-of her heart and Kmilie
set down her words. Here are only
a few words from the many pages
of Kmilie'! diary which reveal tlu
tragedy in Mary's hearts
"After I fiad said goodnight and
had gone to my room last night
there was a gentle knock at the
door and sister Mary's voice called.
'Kmilie, may I come?' She was
smiling tho her eyes were full of
tears, 'I want to tell you. Kmilie,
that one may not be wholly with
out comfort when our loved ones
leave us.N When my noble little
Willie was first taken from me,
felt I had fallen into n deep pit of
j gloom and despair without a ray
of Hunt anywhere. If I had not
felt the spure of necessity urging
mo to cheer Mr. Lincoln, whose
grief was as great as my own. I
could never have smiled again, and
if Willie did not come to comfort
mo 1 would still be drowned in
tears and while t long inexpress

my arms, and still grieve that he
hus no future In this world that 1
might watch with a proud moth

said with a thrill iu her voice I can
never fin-get. 'IU comes to me
every night, nnd stands at the foot
of my bed with tho mime, sweet,
adorable smile he has always had:
he does not always come alone
