Amid the rolling hills of Spencer county where Abraham Lincoln spent seven of his boyhood years, Indiana has created the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial and Lincoln State Park. These adjoining areas of more than a thousand acres include the grave of Nancy Hanks, the site of the Lincoln cabin and other scenes of historical interest. The Memorial and park are separated by Road 162, near Lincoln City and are easily accessible from any

part of Indiana over improved state highways. In recent years, aided by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Department of Conservation has carried on an extensive improvement program in both the park and the memorial area. From the highway the visitor approaches the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln along a landscaped allee and a winding path. The grave is guarded by an unassuming marker and a low iron fence. The surround-

ing area has the simple Impressive-1 ness of a natural setting with squir- I rels and birds showing little fear of i the visitor. The path by which the grave is reached continues to a neighboring hilltop where a permanent marker | designates the site of the cabin to j which Thomas Lincoln brought his family from Kentucky in 1816. Here a low stone wall surrounds the bronze logs which mark the location of the cabin. The original hearth stones, unearthed on the site when the marker was being placed, are included. Across the highway is Lincoln state patk, where thousands of visitors enjoy the foot trails and the recreational facilities. An artificial lake has been created to provide opportunities for fishing and boating. Below the dam are a series of fish hatchery ponds, operated this year, in which fish are propagated to stock the lake and neighboring streams. The park has attractive picnic areas with shelter houses, outdoor ovens, tables and benches and convenient supplies of pure water. A children's playground is one of the popular attractions of the park. The memorial area and the park constitute a national shrine, being visited each year by thousands of tourists from other states.

Chapter Ten

The report of Peggy's engagement to Randolph was good news to Vice-President Calhoun, who not only felt himself in accord with the aims of the Virginia Senator, but who also i ,w in the nuptials what Jackson himself had visualized the loss of one of his mo.it ardent and capabl ? advn ■: s. Calh nin made no great secret of his feeling that Jackson was misguided, ana that lie must eventually yield to the doctrine ,,f . m propounded by Southern leaders. When hi- decided to visit Peggy and per«o congratulate her, the Vice-President could not refrain from adding a triumphant postscript. "There was a stubbomrss in the President," he declared, “which we could not break down. I think you ■were r;-:-; that M l berlake. With you gone Jack-on can't hold out a fortnight against the justice of our demands. When you become the wife of John Randolph, the victory is won." Peggy made no answer to this. Late that afternoon, after a day of mental torture, she wont to visit Randolph. She told him everything, her stormy interview with Jackson, her talk with Calhoun, her hours of solitary brooding. Then ; he said she believed Jackson was right, that It was indeed a choice between her country and her lover . . u (and there was a pleading look in her eye) the latter would ally himself with her and with the President

"John! John, dear,” she called, unconsciously, her mind on the poignant events of that rcc-nit afternoon. Eaton, having no suspicion that she was calling out to another "John,'' enfolded her in a BU Id( n rush. "Then it’s true,” he whispered joyously. “You do — " "Would it make you very happy.

ing marriage gratified many people in Washington lust as much ns it shocked the clique to which Mi-a. Beall and Louisa Abbot belonged. Their tongues wagged for a fortnight with discussion of this scandalous alliance. The poor Secretary, they felt, had been led like a lamb to the slaughter. Only a few of Peggy's closest friends suspected the full extent of her feelings for Randolph, and guessed the struggle through which she had gone in parting from him for good in order to marry a man whom, ns yet, the liked rather than loved. Peggy knew that John Eaton was Intensely in love with her. and she felt that in the course of time, she might return this feeling in full measure. Although Mrs. Beall and a few friends stayed away from the wedding. consumed by curiosity, the affair proved a red-letter event. Rowdy Dow came, first having

"X offer myself to you,” irsponded Peggy, "to help guard th • future of a new country, together. ’ “A woman's right," said Randolph slowly, "is to choose love before politics. A man’s career, political or otherwise, is his reason for being. his whole pride and birthright — " "I can't leave Uncle Andy now.' cried Peggy. "I’ve thought It all over. I can't have my country and you." A gleam came Into her eye, and her hand rested on his. "But you can have your country and

me."

"Peggy,” said Randolph, "the last thing 1 : hould wish to do Is pronounce an end to the only happiness I have ever known.” "Then you will —” Peggy leaned forward anxiously. "As between the State of Virginia and you,” said Randolph, after a moment':’ pause, every muscle in his face taut. “I must choose. Is that correct?" "Yes, I suppose so.” “Then there remains thla difference between a man and a woman. I choose Virginia!'’ With this dramatic declaration Randolph turned aside and clenched his lists, unable to maintain further poise. Peggy knew him too well not to realize his decision was final. Phe stinted slowly for the door, then, las inctively, < be whined and rushed back, putting her arms about his nook and kissing him. Randolph was as motionleiw as a statue, and made no attempt to hold her; only a little groan that escaped him as she left told of his Inward (druggie.

"I’ve been wanting to ree you alone." s 'id Peggy, when she found herself in a secluded corner with Jackson. "I’ve got something important to teil you.” "What is it, young lady?” asked Jackson. “Got an idea for a new tariff'.’" “Nothing so simple as that,” she answered. "Look.”. She extended one clenched hand, and. opening it, exposed the Calhoun secession coin which had been given her the night she visited Ran-

dolph.

“By the Eternal!” growled Jackson. “I'd like to hang the scurvy, poxy blackguards that done this! An’ I’ll bet Calhoun would too!” "Well, there’s only one thing to do,” said Peggy. "Nip It In the bud. Back up Dan Webster Show the people you’re tho President of a lited Union and that it's going

President Jackson came ns noar£o- ; lave of fashion as his gaunt frame would permit. Afterwards there was a reception at which Pennsylvania cheese, punch, and fiddlers’ jigs contributed to the general gaiety. That same night, at Warrenton Manor, John Randolph was ineffectually trying to forget everything but matters of state. He paced to and fro, conning a new speech, stepped into his library to gather new quotations, and then assumed his favorite place by the window to recite them. But ho could not keep hla mind on his work, and after a time he threw his papers aside and sank into an armchair. He was not conscious of the approach of a light-footed figure from the garden until the latter had reached the doorway In front of

him.

"Good evening, Senator,” raid the visitor suavely, drawing back his cape. Randolph stared at him for several moments before recognition came to him. He had not seen j Prof Ln Roy Sunderland nince that night when the palmist had incited the riot in the courtyard of the Inn. “It’s been some six years since v/s met, Senator,” wont on Sunderland. "Yi said Randolph. "Unfortunately 1 have a very good memory.” "Perhaps I’ll be more welcome,” said the other, "when yon hoar my business. For many months, while you and your colleagues have worked in the open, we have worked in tho dark. The time has arrived to Strike. Jackson is wavering. A million men await only the word to dissolve the Union and free the states!" “Is this the way,” said Randolnh, with deadly calm, "that sincere principles can be twisted to spell blood and rebellion?” "I know you must be cautious,” smiled Sunderland craftily. "But you also know that in your heart, you are with ue." "Tell this to your friends," said Randolph, rising. "I will maintain the privileges of the sovereign State of Virginia with my life, but I’ll be tho first to shoot the blackguard who dares falsify my position and lead the nation to bloodshed! And I’ll tel! Andrew Jackson exactly how I stand!" Sunderland, with a bow, disappeared. Randolph rang for his butler. Then he passed across the area of the lighted window. A shot rang out from the garden, and he dropped to the floor. © 1036—Metm-OoMwjm-Maycr Oon>.
