with the Grant Family.

From Long Branch Letter,
Colonel Fred Grant meets us at the door
He has aged noticesbly since the old days
when he was such figure in New York and
Washington life. But he is the same frank,
amiabie man. HIS brother Bucks wife IS
quite ill. The doctor has been called but he
declares the ailment to be merely cold and
some lurking traces of malaria Mrs Grant
has secluded herself for the day. The first
anniversary of the generals death has only
lust passed and she is very much depressed.
The '.memoirs" are still selling. The widow
will receive at least half a million from that
source alone She wants to sell this cottage
because of its sad associations. There on the
porch overlooking the open sea sets the dead
chieftain's chair. 1t is brought out every day
and left just as If the one that is gone were
about to occupy it Still, there's no nonsense
about the chair remaining empty. Colonel
Grant holds a book keepers position in the
New York Steam Heating company. He Is
beginning life over again. When the crash
came not member of the family had 500
left to bless him or herself with. Nellie
Sartors' Sl2, 600, given by her father when
she married, had been intrusted TO Ward. II
went with the rest Chatfee died of broken
heaft-wreck, ruin, misery. And, in the
darkest hour, a man whom General Grant
had heaped houors and favors upon turned
upon him. All 1t is a sad and as yet untold
story.
