It was a painful story, the like of which had been traveling over the prairies of Illinois for years.
And I conclude that he gave Lady Carstairs orders to cycle to Kelso an easy ride for her, and to take the train to Glasgow, where he'd meet her.

The hotel clerk had a Register of the Residents of the City of Chicago wherein they found the name and address of John Kelso. They went out to find the house.

"I hear that in the next Legislature an effort will be made to endorse slavery," said Kelso. "It would be like endorsing Nero and Caligula." "It is a dangerous subject," Abe answered.

Abe who since his story had sat with a sad face looking into the fire now leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, and shook his head with interest while his gray eyes took on a look of animation. The diary speaks often of the "veil of sadness" on his face. "He is a very great man," Abe exclaimed. "Have you learned that last noble flight of his in the reply to Hayne as you promised?"

"I've been up to the Kelsos' home and had a wonderful talk with him and Brimstead," said Abe. "They have discovered each other. Kelso lives in a glorious past and Brimstead in a golden future.
