When he had taken a fee in the latter's absence, he put one half of it into his own pocket, and laid the other half carefully away, labeling it ``Billy, '' the name by which he familiarly addressed his partner. When asked why he did not make a record of the amount and, for the time being, use the whole, Mr. Lincoln answered: ``Because I promised my mother never to use money belonging to another person.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
