The plaintiff is Mrs, Lily Weinreb, who practises law at No. 153 Rivington Street, and the defendant is Samuel Weinreb, who has a law office at No. 5 Colum- bus Circle, Mrs, Weinreb is her own attorney of record, but she had a male assist- ant in court to conduct the actual work of the trial. Weinreb appeared as this own counsel and questioned himself on the stand in his own de- fense, He denied every atlegation made by his wife of abandonment, cruelty and failure to provide, He said he mar- ried his lawyer wife March 2%, 1919, and they soon found they were not temperamental partners. His wife, he said, left their home on several occa- sions and in recent departures has taken their child, Clarice, who was born about a year ago. Decision was reserved.

Four men who live in ihe Bronx were each fined $100 yesterday by CHAPTER VII. $Continved.) the twenty-second of No- vember a letter came to Ann from Bim Kelso which an nounced that sho was going to New Orleans for the win- ter with her husband. Thereupon Abe gave up the idea of g0- ing to St. Louis and six days later took the stage for the capital, at Rutledge’s door, where all the in- habitants of the village had as- sembied to bid him godd-by. . Ann Rutledge with a flash of her old playfulneas kissed him when he got Into the stage. Abe's long arm was waving in the air as he looked back at his cheering friends while the stage rumbled down the road toward the great task of his life upon which he was presently to begin in the little village of Vandalia. Early in March Abe wrote a letter to Samson in which he said: ‘{ have not been doing much. 1 have been getting the hang of things. There are yo many able men here that I feel like being modest for a while, It's good practice if it is a little hard on me. Here are such men as Theodore Ford, William L. D, Ewing, Stephen T. Logan, Jesse K. Dubois and Governor Duncan. You can not wonder that I feel like lving low until I can see my way & little more clearly. I have met here a young man from your state of the name of Stephen A. Douglas. He is twenty-one years old and about the least man I ever saw to look at, but he is bright and very ambitious. He has taught school and studied law N | and been admitted to the bar and is bristling up to John J. Hardin in a contest for the office of State's At- torney. Some pumpkins for a boy of twenty-one I reckon. No chance for internal improvements this session. Money plenty and next year 1 think we can begin harping on that string. More than ever I am con- vineed that it is no time for anti- slavery agitation, much as we may feel inclined to it. There's too much fire under the pot now.” Soon after the new year of 1835 Samson and Harry moved the Kelsos to Tazewell Count’. Mr. Kelso had received an appointment as Land Agent and was to be stationed at the little settlement of Hopedale near the home of John Peasley. “t hate to be taking you so far away,” said Samson. “Hush, man,” said Kelso. “It's a thing to be thought about only in the still o’ the night. “I shall be lonesome.” “But we live close by the wells of wisdom and eo we shall not be com- fortless.” Laie in the afternoon Harry and Samson left the Kelsos and their ef- fects at a small frume house in the little village of Hopedale. The men had no soon. begun to unload than its inhabitan came to welcome the newcomers and help them in the work of -etting settled CHAPTER VIII. GAIN spring had come. ‘The great meadows were awake and full of color. Late in April their green floor was overgown with golden blossoms lying close to the warming breast of the earth. Then came the braver flowers of May lifting their heads to the sunlight in the lengthening grasses— red and white and pink and blue—and over all the bird songs. They seemed to voice the joy in the heart of man. Sarah Traylor used to say that the beauty of the spring more than paid for the loneliness of the winter. Abe came back from the Legisla- ture to resume his duties as postmas- ter and surveyor, The evening of his arrival he went to see Ann. The girl was in poor health. She had had no news of McNamar since January. Her spirit seemed to be broken, They walked together np and down the de- serted street of the little village that evening. Abe told her of his’ life in Vandadia and of his hopes and plans, “My greatest hope is that you will feel that you can put up with me,” he said, “I‘would try to learn how to make you happy. TI think if you would help me a little I could do it.” “T don’t think I am worth having,” the girl answered. “I feel like a little old woman these days.” é t seems to me that you are the only one in the world worth having, said Abe. “ff you want me to, I will marry you, Abe,” said she. “I can not say that I love you, but my mother and father say that I would learn to love you, and sometimes I think it is true, I really want to love you.” ‘They were on the bluff that over- looked the river and the deserted mill. They were quite alone looking down at the moonlit plains. A broken sigh came from the lips of the tall young man, He wiped his eyes with his handkerchief, He took her hand in both of his and pressed it against his breast and looked down into her face Gaoreieit, 1919, by Irving Bacholler, hers when they parted at the door of the tavern. “Il am sure I shall love you,” ehe whispered, “Those are the best words that ever came to my ears,” he and Jeft her with a solemn sense of his commitment. Not long after Bim returned home and announced that she had left her husband for good. She told of revolting scenes she had witnessed in St. Louis and New Or- leans—of flogging and buying and selling and herding. It was a painful story, the like of which had* been travelling over the prairies of Dlinoia for years. Some had accepted these reports; many, among whom were the most judicious men, had thought they detected in them the note of ross exaggeration. Here, at last, was a witness whose word it was im- possible for those who knew her to doubt. Abe put many questions and looked very grave when the testi-+ miony was all in. “If you have any doubt,” said Bim, “I ask you to look at that mark on my arm. [t was made by the whip of Mr. Eliphalet Biggs.” ‘The young men looked with amase- ment at a scar some three or four inches long on her forearm. , “It he would do that to his wife, what treatment coukl you expeot for his niggers?” Bim asked. ‘There are many Biggses in the South. “What so vile as a cheap, rococo aristocracy—growing up to idleness, too noble to be restrained, with every brutal passion broad blown as flush as “May?” Kelso growled. ‘Nothing is long sacred in the view of any aristocracy—not even God,” Abe answered. ‘They make a chili’s plaything of Him and soon cast Him aside.” “But I hold that if our young men are to be trained to tyranny in @ lot of little nigger kingdoms, our de- mocracy will die.” Abe made no answer, He was ala ways slow to commit himself. “The North is partly to blame for what has come,” said Samson, “IT guess our Yankee captains brought over most of the niggers and sold them to the planters of the South.” “There was a demand for them, or those Yankee pirates wouldn't have brought the niggers,” Harry an- swered. ‘Both seller and buyer were committing a crime.” “They established a great wrong and now the South is pushing to ex- tend and give it the sanction of law,” said Abe. “There is the point of irritation and danger.” “I hear that in the next Legisla- ture an effort will be made to en dorse slavery,” said Kelso, “It would be like endorsing Nero and a dangerous subject,” Abe answered. “Whatever happens, I shall not fail to express my opinion of slavery if I go back.” “The time is coming when you will take the bull by the horns,” said Kelso. ‘There's no fence that will keep him at home.” A letter came from Dr, Aven the next day telling Abe that Ann was far gone with a dangerous fever. He dropped his work and went home, Ann was too sick to see her lover. The little village was very quiet those hot summer days. The sorrow of the pretty maiden had touched the hearts of the simple kindly Yolk who lived there. They would have helped her bear it—if that had been possit®—as readily as they would have helped at a raising. Vor a year or more there had been a tender note in their voices when they spoke of Ann. They had learned with great gladness of her engagement to marry Abe. The whole community was as one family with its favorite daughter about to be crowned with good for- tune ater than she knew.
