Joe said he trembled a little when he thought of it, If he could send the frightened beas ty through that narrow hole, everything would be all right. And God help him, if he couldn't. He gave Mrs. Lincoln a fleeting glance

Only Inch.te Spare IT WAS now time to turn the trick. Joe snatched a long whip from the carriage pocket, braced his legs inst the foot rail and gave the right twist to the reins. As the horses turned, he brought the stinging whip down on their backs. ey were ough narrow entrance without an inch to spare, and the worst was over. Apparently, the horses knew when. they were licked. As calm and collected as ever, Jog jumped from the box and opened the carriage door. To his relief, his mistress had recovered ¢onsciousness. Enough, indeed, to say somewhat sternly: “Joseph, drive back to “the city; informa the President that I have been dreadfully hurt by the horses’ runaway. Tell him I desire his presence at my bedside.” And so Joe had to ride all the way back to Washington in the dead of night—this time ina hauled by a listless phjégmatic mare —and bring the President to his wife's bedside. Immediately after the crisis when things took a turn for the better, President Lincoln called for Joe Christian and said: “Curly, de you know why you are my coachman? It's because Ward Lamon, my private secretary, recommended you with these words: ‘Mr. Lincoln,. I have found you a coachman who is not afraid of anything in the shape of a herse’" (Jog said it with a modesty that printer's ink can’t possibly convey.)

Ne Cyrly Hair IT WAS the first intimation we kids had that Joe Christian enjoyed a nickname and, indeed, one bestowed on him by-Abraham Lincolin. - Somehow, though, the moniker seemed far-fetched, for in all the time Joe spent around
