CHAPTER v.

Cochrane's inspection Of the problem
was of long duration. At length he lean
ed back as though satisfied he could read
nothing more from Mr.. Powell's memo
randa and gave vent to long drawn
sigh. "Why under the sun wasn't the
man considerable enough to designate
which railroad he intended to take?"
Here he picked up the paper. "He starts
from somewhere at 9:30-evidently in
the morning, for at 1925 there is a stop
for dinner. At 3:19 1 think he changes
cars, and at TAO he must have his sup
per. At 1880 he makes a stop-wonder
whether that is the same night or the
next dayP Deuce take it! Didn't the man
know the meaning of a. m. and p. m. ?
believe he stays there the remainder of
the night, and that's the reason of that

died in the hearts of the two anxious
ones in New York. Frequent letters
have been received detailing his prog

searching, cropping for the key to unlock
the secret of Pow ell's journey.

letter, "tlmt Powell carried part OF

long consultation with Kendall he ex-
planned the theory he had formed as TO
Powell's disappearance
II know the chances appear slim for
the discovery of the man whose disap-
pearance has placed you in such an un-
enviable situation. My theory may be
entirely wrong. He may have become
suddenly insane and long before this
filled nameless grave or cell in an
asylum. In his past life there may have
been crime, and from some circum-
stances we cannot discover he may have
been fearful of detection, which he fed,
no one knows where, to escape. Again,
| it is possible he intended few weeks
rest i'll the country, ana before lie had
time to apprise You of his whereabouts
robbery and murder may have baen
committed.
eff you have enough confidence in
my theory to advance the small amount
necessary to pay my way while follow
ing it out, l shall do my utmost to ac-
complish what | have undertaken. Sue
cess means as much to me as it does to
you. The whole future of my life and
the happiness of one who is very dear to
me depend upon some effort that will
lift me out Of this accursed poverty that
binds ones hands and STILES ones abil-
tiles, robs him of manhood and makes
him hate the world! Failure land he

that l can never brave it again. You
are so encompassed by suspicion that
you will be driven to escape it by sui
eide unless it can be silenced by proof
that cannot be controverted. "
Cochrane paced the floor rapidly, his
form trembling with the emotion caused
by his thoughts. He had been rendered
desperate by his inability to secure either
business or employment and was almos
unnerved az he contemplated another
failure. Kendall was deeply touched by
this exhibition of despair. Cochranei
words were the echoes of his owl
thoughts. He knew VIII fai!ur,
meant.

Early in September he had written
again. 1t was evident that he was al
most hopeless, and Kendall read his

did not wholly give up, however, for in

time Kendall avoided his wife's in

him grow daily more nervous and APP

pleading, he contided to her his graves

MIR. G. B. Rouss at the Win
chester Fair.
Especial to tho baltimore sun.l

WINCHESTER. VA, Sept. TO-
This has been the big day at the
fair grounds of the Shenandoah VAL
ley Agricultural Society, the attend
ance being good not only of home
people, but of strangers as we'll.
The announcement that Charles
Broadway Rouss. of New York,
would be here and that there would
be speaking by prominent republic
cans doubtless helped to bring the
crowd. Mr.. Rouss arrived this
morning shortly after 9 o'clock over
the Cumberland Valley Railroad from
New York. He was accompanied by
Messrs. A. j. Smith, G. w. Reed,
Joseph Robinson, Charles Robin,
III. Marshall and others.
The party was met by q committee
of the fair, representatives of the
council and Capt. George Kinzell
on behalf of the Union Fire Com
pany. Soon after his arrival Mr..
Rouss went to the cemetery with his
party, and, though he could not see,
must have felt the solemnity of
Hebron's mound, where his dearly
beloved son rests. The Union
Steam Fire Company placed q pillow
OF roses and two beautiful bouquets
on the Rouss lot this morning. The
South End Hose Company, which
has just been the recipient of Mr..
Rouss' bounty, also decorated the lot.
On the return from the cemetery,
Mr.. Rouss was taken to exc overnor
Holidays house. The Governor
has often said that he and Mr.. Rouss
started out about equally in life, the
one with q basket of books, the other
with a basket of goods. There is a
deep bond of friendship between Mr..
Rouss and the x-Governor, and the
New York millionaire never neglects
an opportunity to see the one time
chief magistrate of the Old Domin-
ion.
Many friends called TO see Mr..
Rouss, and then, at 1850, he was
escorted by Judge Atkinson, Presi-
dent Mccain ard Mr.. Bantz across
the street TO the latter's home, where
another informal reception was held.
Mr.. Bantz proved himself, as usual,
a hospitable host. After a rest of a
few minutes Mr.. Rouss, Mr.. Bantz,
Judge Atkinson, President Mccain
and Mr.. Reed took a carriage and,
preceded by three marshals and fol-
lowed by the fair committee, repre-
sentatives of the council and others,
were driven to the fair grounds,
where Mr.. Rouss gave his usual free
banquet TO all the people.
Ex-Governor Underwood, Of Ken
lucky, who accompanied Mr.. Rouss
from New York, spoke briefly before
a large crowd regarding the monu-
ment he caused to be erected TO the
| Confederate dead buried in the GEM
etery at Chicago, also af a battery of
guns he had appropriated by Con-
gress to place around the same.
After the speech Mr.. Rouss held his
annual reception, and, as usual,
made many of his old friends and
the veterans present happy.

Confederate Memorial Institute

A dis patch from Chattanooga,
Tenn. says: The movement started
by Charles Broadway Rouss, of New
York, to perpetuate the history of
the Southern Confederacy and deeds
of Southern bravery by erecting q
magnificent memorial building, was
promoted by the action of the board
of trustees, whose first session was
brought to a close Thursday.
The idea of a battle abbey has
been abandoned as impracticable,
and the structure to be erected will
be called the Confederate Memorial
Institute. The board organized by
electing Gen. w. d. Chipley, of
Pensacola, Fla, president, and Gen.
c. A. Evans, of Atlanta, vice-presi-
dent. Col. Robert c. Wood, of New
Orle ans, will continue to act as gen.
eraI manager, while the Fourth Ma
tionaI Bank of Nashville was desig-
mated as treasurer and depository of
funds, both subject to change by the
board at its next meeting, which was
set for October L, at Belle Mead,
near the home of Gen. w. FL. Jack
son. Gen. w. II. Jackson, of Ten
nessee; Col. Robert White, of West
Virginia; Gen. j. B.. Briggs, of
Kentucky, and Gen. Boss, of Texas,
were constituted an executive COM
mittee.
The plan for raising the necessary
funds provides for the appointment
of agents in each county to make a
thorough canvass of every State in
the South. The board of trustees
is composed Of eighteen members,
besides Col. A. G.. Dickinson, of
New York, the personal agent of Mr.
Rouss. The body is made self-per-
petuating and is divided equally
into two and four-year term mem
bers. The charter holds good for
ifty years. Fifteen States, the
District of Columbia and Oklahoma
and Indian Territories are represen-
ted on the board.
1t is estimated That the institute
will involve an outlay at least of
$500, 900 before completion. Its
chief mission will be educational in
character by collecting together the
correct facts at issue in the history
of the war. The location of the
memorial will not be considered till
after the money has been raised,
