Gollaher. **When the preacher went away with your cap he was dishonest ; he stole the cap." 206 THE BOYHOOD OF LINCOLN "Well," said Abe, '^I didn't mean to steal anything from you and father when I worked slow to let Austin catch up with me, and I'm mighty sorry. But was it sure-enough stealing, Mr. GoUaher*?" "Yes, Abe; you and Austin were steal- ing time from your pappy and me, and, when stolen from people for whom you are working, time is just the same as money, or pelts, or caps." Austin Go...llaher, the man, said that he never forgot that lesson in honesty, and from that time on he never again failed to give his employer a full day's labor for a full day's pay.
"Austin," said Abe, "I asked Mr. Hod- gen if stealing time made us thieves, and he said it wasn't exactly stealing, but if we kept on cheating that way we might soon come to stealing. I asked him how we could pay back what we took, and he said by working a little harder, or by do- ing something extra. So, let's don't go with them fishing to-morrow; let's stay STEALING TIME 207 right here in the com patch and pay them a day's work." ''I'll do it," assented Austin.
