The Old Frigate Constellation.

An inspection of the ship-of-war
Constellation has ordered by
the Secretary Of the Navy
The vessel is not in very forward
condition, having neither spar, sail
nor single gun, and furniture is
conspicuous by its absence.
The Constellation has n remark
able record. II was the second
finished when the Navy Of the
United States was organized, and
launched at Baltimore Dec. I, 1897.
In the Mediterranean struggle OF
1908, the vessel was in the Decatur
Squadron, and in 1912 was rebuilt
and twelve feet added to her length
at the Washington Navy Yard.
Returning from long cruise in
1854 the Constellation was consid-
cred one of the finest war ships in
the world having ridden through a
storm in the Mediterranean near
where a French ship went down in
sight Of and under its admiral's
flag.
The vessel was rebuilt again aud
transferred as q Scholarship to An
napolis, taking out cadets OH sum-
mer cruises. 1t was detailed in
its eighty-frst year by the Gov
eminent to convey exhibits TO the
Paris exposition, arriving from An
napolis on March 10. Her tanks
and bulkheads were taken out, the
cargo was stored, and March 81
she sailed for Havre. The Con-
stellation returned to New York
July Z, and shortly went back to
Annapolis under orders. On Sept.
S, 1879 the vessel arrived to carry
the relief officers and crew to the
Mediterranean squadron and sailed
with them Nov. / meeting the flag
ship at Gibralter. The.Constella-
ton was dismasted when it return
on Jan. 10. with the relieved officers
and crew.

! Elsie was married. The frs
, snow had Just whitened the eartl
/ when she left the Holt farm, th,
wife OF Lewis Walton, strange
pallor on her beautiful face,
strange dread in her heart, fol
some thoughts had come to her
IN the eleventh hour, that were
neither pleasant nor ennobling, for
they taught her life had been a
mistake, as far as stability Of feel
ing and purity of principle were
concerned, for the white, weary
face of Nathaniel Holt was dearer
to her heart than the handsome
face OF the husband by her side.
The winter days rolled on
News of Elsie Walton's triumphs
came now and then to the quiet
farmhouse, and stirred up Nathan
iol Hollis heart with a touch Of the
old pain for he could not forget
that all this beauty and grace
might have been his. Lewis Wal
ton might value it as q child prizes
IA beautiful toy; he would have
idoli2ed it, as some devotoe wor-
ships the beauty of his goddess
and for this feeling alone no felt
the great treasure of Elsie's love
had been denied him.
But rumor was stirring the
fashionable world that never reach
ed the quiet old homestead. Men
looked with pity on the lovely,
trusting wife, women smiled and
she cred behind their fans, and still
Elsie never dreamed aught of the
shame and disgrace that was gath
ering around her. When the news
of her tickle husbands elopement |
with 4 dashing widow reached her,
she threw up her hands with a
cry Of dispair.
Nathaniel, Nathaniel, my sin
has found me OUT"
Three days later the dead body
Of her husband-for a railroad ac-
cident had ended his career-was
carried home to her; and Elsie,
broken and full Of bitter remorse,
followed it to its last resting place,
then turned her face to the quiet
home she had left a bride but a
few months before.
Nathaniel asked no questions.
The sad, white face was dearer to
lim now than it had ever been be-
fore. He made no outward sign Of
the love that was burning in his
breast, yet his care Of her was
wonderful; and hc thanked God
that through affection he had
Jeen shown the weakness of his
dol, and that Elsie was but human,
while his own heart had been pu-
'ilied in the fire Of tribulation.
More than a year after Lewis
death, we find them stand ]
nc where we first saw them, IN {

slender fingers -"you must let me

working was simply to enforce the laws
