" "How is that?" asked Mabel, very much inter- ested. "Did you never hear the story of Abraham Lin- coln and Ann Rutledge?" said Allan's mother, in surprise. "I must have forgotten it if I did, " said the girl, with a blush. "The world doesn't know much about that in- cident in Lincoln's life, " went on the good lady. "Such things are soon forgotten, but the influence of Ann Rutledge, who was a sister of Allan's grandpa, was one of the forces that helped to make Lincoln what he was.
