A Spectators Description of the Presi-
dents Gorgeous Equipage.
In 1889 General Washington made a
tour through New England, travelling
in his own carriage. In the "Rem-
iniscences of Worcester" a spectator de-
scribes his equipage as follows:
81. A gentleman in uniform on a
beautiful dapple-gray horse.
SO. Next, two aids on dapple-gray
horses in uniform.
SO. Bay horses, with two negro boys
as riders, the horses attached to trav-
cling carriage, in which sat General
Washington.
81. Behind was the baggage wagon,
with two bay horses, containing the
baggage"
In every place through which the
General passed the inhabitants of all
ranks, ages and conditions testified
their Joy at beholding the man who had
won independence for the colonies, and
was now the first citizen of the new
Republic.

captain Starbright started back with
wild thrill of alarm at his heart. The voice
seemed at his very elbow, and in his nerv-
Gus excitement he dropped the glass to the
floor
TWAS shattered, and the poison dissipated
over tho carpet. Grace lay breathing hotly,
quite as startled as the Captain. Lura had
not as yet dared whisper her suspicious to
the sick girl, and so the accusing voice
frightened Grace almost to fainting.
What was it?' questioned Grace, after
an instant of terror.
Captain Starbright turned swiftly to the
door without reply. He realized now that
tho warning must have been sent through
thc kcyhole. He crossed the carpet, turned
the key in the lock and opening the door
sprang quickly into the upper hall Not ten
feet distant he saw the form of Il man NOV
ing swiftly away.
He recognized the intruder as Louis
Fingal
SHALT there, you scoundrel!'
But the young hunter evidently wished
to avoid the Captain, and began moving at
swlfter gait. Then the Captain started in
pursuits resolved on bringing the fellow 10
, account for his interference.
Down the hall, up a flight of narrow
| stairs to the garnet the young hunter fed,
and here in the shadows the Captain lost his
enemy. He CROPPED about for fully half an
/ hour ere he gave uD the search.
AS he descended the garnet stairs he
! came full upon Lura Joyce.
What in the name of all that is lovely
| were you doing up yOndor, Captain!" the CIR
demanded with piercing look.
| Ibid you see him."
"See whom!"
| THAT Internal hunter, Fingal."
I "Of course not. The young fellow is a
! gentleman. What an idea, to think of look
| ing in a garnet for gentleman friend Of
| the family l believe you are going crazy
| Captain Starbright." and Lura at the last
INDUCED in an amused and tantalzing
| laugh.
Il begin to think so myself" he
answered, striding fiercely away.
Lura hurried swiftly to the sick chamber.
She found Grace alone, the broken tumbler
on the carpet Gathering the ragged frag-
| ments tho girl placed them on the stand,
then resumed her seat beside Grace, who
seemed deeply excited, as her pale cheeks
were flushed, and there was an unusual
| glitter of the gray eyes.
''Did you hear it? Do you know!' ques-
toned the sick girl in tremulous accents.
II know all about it. You had narrow
escape, Grace, but don't worry over 1T now;
the danger is past"
danger! Was it really true

eyes, dear. He has consented to remain
on the premises for time. The Captain is
bad man, but do not worry over that
now"
She sick girl closed her eyes and tried tc
collect her scattered thoughts. 1t was {
task, however, that she was not likely tc
accomplish When Lucy returned from
Mrs. Penroy, who was still too Ill to leave
her room, Lura reprimanded her for leaving
| Grace alone.
t'But Missus Pen sent for me-"

"Deed will, missus."

tie of Monmouth, Washington wrapped
Lafayette-theu still mere youth in
years-in his own military cloak, and
the two then lay down side by side on
the scorching earth, communing of the
dire need of the country and of the mex
haustiblc strength Of their common foe
until WEAKNESS closed their eyes and
they both fell into a sound sleep. At
the end of March, 1888, the French hero
wrote:
MY DEAR GENERAL: Were you but such o
man as julius Caesar or the King of Prussia,
1 should be almost sorry for you at the end of
this great drama where you are acting such q
part. But you, know rejoice at the blessings
OF peace when our noble ends have been Sc

The din and roar Of the busy cityhad ceased,
and solemn stiffness reigned save for the

greeted with the sharp clatter Of horses
boots coming swiftly down the street. He

express her admiration of Washington
than to address him in terms such as
she had been won't to choose in writing
to brother monarchs. But Lafayette
said to her: "They, madame, were only
kings. Washington is the chief of q
free nation" And in writing himself
to Washington just about this time he
said:
Though am to re-enter the French line as
o feld-marshal, from the date Of Lord Corn
wallis surrender 1 will moreover keep my
American uniform, and the outside as we'll as
the inside OF an American soldier, and will
watch for the happy moment when may again
Join our beloved colors."
The French revolution had broken
out. In January, 1900, Lafayette wrote:
"How often, my well-beloved General, have I
missed your sage advice and friendly sup
port. We have advanced in the cause OF the
revolution without the vessel Of state being
wrecked against the rocks of aristocracy or
faction. At present that which existed has
been destroyed The result will, hope, be
happy for my country and for humanity"
Thus, at every important crisis of
his eventful life--until the death of his

miring friend of DE eHAsSh'
Washington. A letter which Washing
ton wrote-dated Annapolis, December
2S, 17s3-to Steuben, few hours before
he resigned his Office as Commander-in-
Chief of the American army, gives
touching evidence of the generosity of
soul and tender affection felt by the
great American chieftain for this noble
hearted stranger.
AS to the other German volunteers of
distinction, Baron de Kalb, Washing
ton visited his tomb on the battlefield
Of Camden, years after the war, and
broke out into these words: "There lies
the brave de Kalb, that generous
stranger who came from a distant
land to fight our battles, and to water
with his blood the tree of liberty.
Would to God he had lived to share
with us it's fruits!' The dying words
of de Kalb, as he fell pierced with
eleven bullets, were message of love
and respect to his past commander. The
correspondence mentioned between
Washington and Rochambeau, de
Grasse, d'Estaing, Chastellux and other
distinguished leaders of his French al
lies likewise reveals unanimous feel
ing of the highest respect, coupled with
glowing admiration, felt by these men
of noble lineage for the untitled chief
of nation just on the eve of its birth.
