Lincoln,

Lincoln was studying Blacks!one In the cabin of Mlnter Gray ham at New Salem when Richard Yates came In. The two young men e*re the best of friends, and It was the custom of Richard to ride orer from Jacksonville whenever opportunity offered for a few day* with hi*

friand.

“Going In for law. are you. Abe?" said Yates, as he noticed the book Lincoln was reading. "Mighty Interesting book, this." replied Lincoln. “I’m going to study law myself." •aid Yates, "and let’s make a bargain to try our first case together.” “The bargain Is made." replied Lincoln. "and whoever gets the first case calls in the other for assistance " Shlckshack was dead and New Salem mourned for him. Shlckshack the Sac Indian who preferred to live among the whites to life with his tribe; who had been foster father to Peggy since the days her Spanish father had laid her, an Infant. In his arms when the father was dying and had none but this Indian friend with whom to Intrust his baby daughter; the stepfather of Antywlne, the French boy. Peggy was In reality Consnelo Lorimer. descendant of Don Louis Lorlmer, at one time Spanish governor of his majesty’s possessions In the new world. AH New Salem knew this, but they did not know that around Shlckihaek’s waist was carried a snakeskln filled with Spanish gold that belonged to the crippled child. That Is they did not know this until Shlckshack was dead, when Antywlne tamed the snakeskln and Its contents- over to Lincoln to keep for her. If New Salem folks had not known of the existence of Peggy's gold Don Pedro Lorlmer. New Orleans gamble. had. He had been with Peggy’s tether when the little fortune had bean Intrusted to the Indian for safe keeping, and he had made more than one effort to get possession of It. usually by claiming reladonahlp and guardianship of the child. Lincoln was not to be fornd when Lorlmer arrived at the village after th* death of Shlckshack, and demand1 of the child and her une backed by a set of young hoodlums from Clary's Grove. It was Dick Tates who met them at the Rutledge tavern, but he was powerless. They wanted the girl, but they wanted her money more than anything else, and Uneoln had the money. Taking the girl with them, and accompanied by Tates, they started ont to find Lincoln. They found him at the home of Antywlne. the home over which Fuggy, now a girl of U. was to he mistress.

1 will not wait while boys speeches. This I* not what wt Ised me." hissed the Spaniard. "What Red Clary promised you," returned Lincoln, "was that If you cancel Ms gambling debts to yourself be would make me hand over the girl’s

money.

Clary was off his horse and at his aocuser in a moment, and. Lincoln realized that he must fight It | was standing on a alight elevation where be had stepped the better to adI dress the crowd, and as Clary came at him be caught the bull-bodled champion by tbe collar and flung him across the ting. a fight to a finish now, and Lincoln, realizing that words would be useless should be lose In this contest of force, went at It to beet hi* adversary In the only court that adversary would recognize. It was a contest tor a few minutes, and then Lincoln caught Clary with a stinging blow beneath the chin and tumbled him to tbe ground, where he lay with the wind well knocked out of him. Standing over Clary’s body Lkscoln made an Impassioned speech to the others of tbe rowdy gang for Justice for his little Spanish client H* told her history; he told who Don Pedro Lorlmer was; he appealed to the best that was In them; to their love for their sisters, and he won. and Don Pedro Lorlmer knew that be had won. and spurring bis horse forward he attempted to ride the yonng orator down, and to grab the snakeakin which Lincoln had passed to Yates at the beginning of tbe fight As he did so Antywlne. aroused from a stupor, darted from the cabin and. grabbing the bits, brought the horse to Its hannebes. Before tbe astonished rider could recover Lincoln asked with whimsical significance; "Boys, bow would any of yon like get up out of cblll-and-fever and find all Clary’s Grove helplbg a stransr rob you of your own dear gal?" The question had the desired affect Down tbe village street went Don Pedro Lorlmer. and after him tbe crowd from Clary’s Grove. They caught him at tbe banks of tbe Sangamon, and rolled him Into th* river In a barrel. Wiser counsel alone prevented his being allowed to drown, but he never again appeared In the vicinity of New Salem to molest the bride of Antywlne. and Lincoln and Tates had tried their first case together and had won.
