Finding his second son, Algernsn, likely
to SOW too many wild oats, he sent him
to America and Green Bay TO look after

by the kindness Of tho gods. When he
reached Green Bay, her frequent letters
aroused n sentiment unlike any Charles
Francis Algsrnon had ever before OK
p~erisnced. Here was the innocent, con-
iding heart OF q young girl laid open be-
fore him. With all is tender sentiment,
Its untried music. He was man Of ans
litsrsry culture, well vsrssd in classic
lore. speaking six different languages,
educated at the University OF Heidsl-
burg, and constantly, meeting In Eng

young ladies'. Ths little girl Of Gaisns

which announced the death OF his eldest

We can easily imagine. after getting Q
description Of Sartoris, why Nellie Grant
should have elected him her choice. He
was the sntipodss OF American young
men. A stout, good-sizsd, broad-shoul-
dered man, with muscles like whip-cord,
covered with clean fiesh, Just saved from
fat; fair, round, Saxon face, white by
nature, red by education; innocent blue
eyes, with q baby.liks wonder in their
serene depths; fiaxsn hair. parted sx-
actly in the middle and brushed fat
down, the ends bobbsd into httio duck
tail curls; solid. slephantins limbs, and
tremendous hands and feet, the first OF

That followed him everywhere. One
rainy afternoon the pair retired for q
nap in this SANE hotel where / I'm writ

himself comfortable with divers brandy
punches, and retired, with his dog at
his heels, for an afternoon sissta. In
