General Hancock was born Febru-

his commission as Lieutenant ofinfant-

War and at its close was quarter mas
ter of his regiment In 1885 he took
part in the Florida campaign against
the Seminole Indians. In 1861 he
was appointed Brigadier General of
Volunteers and served in the Amry of
the Potomac. He accompanied Nc
! Clellan's army to the Peninsular in
1862 and distinguished himself at the
battle of Williams burg. At the bat
tie of Fredericksburg in December
1862 he commanded division, which
suffered severly and for his meritori-
a commission as Major General of Vol

did much to enable Union success
He was wounded during the engage

years she has been trying to get
pension; but, although she keeps fresh
flowers upon her husbands grave, she
cannot prove that he Is dead.
The records in the adjutant-gener-
ais office are perfect, and affidavlEs
can be furnished from thousands Of
people who saw and recognized his
IifeEess body, but every few months
she receives a letter from him, written
in hand as familiar as her own. Two
letters never come from the same
place; now they are post-marked IN
Colorado, then in Texas, and then In
New York. Once she got a note from
him dated in Washington. He ap-
pears to know what is going on at
home, ard always alludes to local oc-
currences with familiarity that is
amazing. He sends messages to old
friends, and gives her advice about
business matters which it seems I'M
possible for a stranger to know. She
cannot answer these ghostly missives,
| because he meyer gives any clew to
| his whereabouts, and no detective has
ever been able to find him.
Her friends believe that the writer
of the letter is some crank or malicious
person who takes this way to annoy
her, and the distress this poor woman
| suffers cannot be measured by any
other human experience, for we do
not believe there was ever such ease
as this. Long ago she ceased to open
envelopes which came with the familiar
address on them, but sends them sealed
| to her attorney, who uses every possl-
| bic means to secure clew to the iden-
tity of the writer The only circum-
stances to suggest that it may possibly
be her husband are the penmanshiT
and the familiarity the writer shows
with the lady's private life, but how he
could keep himself posted is another
mystery that cannot be solved.
Several times the writer has intimat
ed that he might pay her visit, bu
the next letter always contains al
apology for not having done so. Th'
woman has suffered agony of min(
beyond description, aud her life ha
been ruined by this horrible mystery
but of late she has become more re
signed, and would be neither surprised
nor disappointed if her husband shoul'
some day walk in at the door.
