married, and who helped to embitter the
last years of the great soldiers life. Sar-
toris was coming to America with his
father, who intended to put him in charge
OF certain real estate transactions in Wis
consin. A friend Of the general who was
on the ship. told me the other day that AL

but added land the fact puzzled him then

began on that voyage.
Their engagement was not . long one,
but it was sensational When Sartoris,
VINO was in Wisconsin at the time. an
nounced that he was to marry the presi-
dents daughter, the people of the town re-
fused to believe him until he did his sweet
heart the indignity of actually making her
love letters public as proof.
The generals opposition to the match
was strong, but 1t gave way before the
earnest pleadiugs of the girl, who had
been completely infatuated by the British
visitor. When the bride and groom drove
away from the White House the old SOL
dier broke down completely for the first
time in many years.
That there was reason for his sorrow was
proved before the journey of the bridal
couple to the grOOms English home had
ended. Sartoris treated his wife SO horri-
bly, on the voyage to England that the
passengers on the ship seriously consid-
cred the advisability of calling meeting
and adopting resolutions denouncing him.
This plan was abandoned only because it
would have brought the bride as we'll as
the groom into unpleasant notoristy.
Her life in her new home was far from
pleasant. Sartoris fulfilled all the disa-
greeable predictions made of him, and
things came to such pass that it was at
one time current report that Mrs. Sartoris
was suing for divorce. This report
proved 70 be untrue. but the unfortunate
girl was quoted as having said the only
reason she did not take such action was
because she did not propose to drag the
honored name of her father in the mire.
The only thing that redeemed her mar
rled life from utter wretchedness was the
fact that the elder Sartoris, approaching
: his sons misdeeds, did all that he could
to atone for them. 1t is said to have been
because of the old gentleman's insistance
that Mr.. and Mrs. Sartoris practically sep
arated after they had found that they
were wholly uncOngenial. Sartoris, ST., is
said to have forced his son 20 keep away
from the unhappy young wife rs much as
possible. It was on tho suggestion of the
elder Sartoris that Algernon made the
journey to Italy last winter, which tor
minated with his death.
All this must be told in order to explain
Nellie Grants present aversion to Amer
lea. During every one of her infrequent
visits to this country she has been made

Life has many tangled crossing
Where some feet will so astray
Hcwe'er well we wait and rondez
Which will be the better way.
But not always 10 disaster
Will the untried pathways run,
Tor o.times foot-sore and weary
We the grsncess heights have won
It's not always through the valleys,
Where the green turf meets our feet,
That we reach our beat endeavors,
Nor upon The weli-psvet street;
But aside from easy travel,
Where the hills rise steep and grand,
We must climb il we would ever
View the distant promised Land
It's the untried ways thai prove &c
Able, earnest for the Prize.
And we're sometimes forced 20 enter
Rugged paths with blinded eyes.
Courage! II not ours the choosing
Then lis unseen hands tina; guide,
And from cut the tangled crossing
We shau reach the better side.
