Short went out and introduced himself to Lincoln. Coleman Smoot was born in Virginia, February 13, 1794; removed to Kentucky when a child; married Rebecca Wright March 17, 1817; came to Illinois in 1831, and lived on a farm across the Sangamon River from New Salem until his death, March 21, 1876. He accumulated an immense fortune. Lincoln met him for the first time in Offutt's store in 1831.

In reality, it is thus, that Greek meets Greek. Professor Wainwright and Coleman strolled together out of the dining room. The dragoman rushed ecstatically upon the correspondent. " Oh, Meester Coleman! The carge is ready !" "Well, all right," said Coleman, knocking ashes from his cigar. "Don't be in a hurry. I suppose we'll be ready, presently." The man was in despair.

By eight o'clock every man was in his place, lined up to rigid attention as Coleman entered the building. "There they are!" said Olney proudly. "Every man of them of good, tough courage, and you can handle them as well as any old soldiers!" Other men came into the hall, some of them in ranks, as they had fallen in at their own company headquarters outside, others singly or in groups.

I said, you know him so much better than we do." Her easy indifference was a tacit dismissal of Coleman as a topic. Nora, now thoroughly alert, glanced keenly into the other girl's face, but it was inscrutable.

"Ten years ever since I was of your age," promptly answered Mr. Coleman. "Is promotion rapid?" Luke asked, with interest. "Well, that depends on a man's capacity. I have been pushed right along.

What of it? For the rest of my life have I got to " The minister saw. that this was the embittered speech of a really defeated youth, so, to save scenes, he gently ejected the trio. " There, there, now ! Run along home like good boys. I'll be busy until luncheon. And I -dare say you won't find Coleman such a bad chap."

He spoke almost the truth, contenting himself with merely communicating to Coleman in a subtle way his sense that a ride forward with the commanding officer and his orderly would be depressing and dangerous occupation.

Looking over my notes, I said: "You seem to have made every charge except murder." "How'd I come to leave that out?" Schnitzel answered flippantly. "What about Coleman, the foreman at Bahia, and that German contractor, Ebhardt, and old Smedburg? They talked too much, and they died of yellow-fever, maybe, and maybe what happened to them was they ate knockout drops in their soup."
