Where the Traitor Once Entertained Ham
and Eggs Are Now Sold.
If you wander far enough through
the broad drives and cross the ample
fields of Fairmount park, Philadelphia,
you will presently encounter commo-
dious stone building, surmounting a
wooded knoll, set down between two
subsidiary ones of the same material,
into and out of which small crowd of
people, mainly women and children,
are constantly passing. 1t is now
known vaguely and generally as the
DAIRY" and is q pleasant enough little
place to stop for ice cream, tea and
other light refreshments, pleasantly
dispensed by neat maiden, in the EN-
ploy of the lesses of the house. But
probably not one in 1000 of the persons
who so indulge themselves is aware of
the fact that this quiet little refectory,
with its trim gravel walk in front and
its grassy banks in the rear, sloping
gently down to the Schuylkill, was once
the country seat Of Benedict Arnold.
1t was conveyed to him in 1776 by
John McPherson, a Philadelphia msr-
chant, for & 1920, subject to, a mort
gage of & 1,7G0 and a lease to Don Juan
Mirailles, the Spanish minister. In
this sumptuous mansion, with its high
ceilings, decorated walls, massive man
telpieces and deeply carved oalien
doors and windows, Arnold lived and
entertained and plotted for more than
three years. The north room on the
first floor, where the visitor now sips
his tea and leisurely munches his sweet
cakes, was probably, from its appear
nnce, the morning-room Of Arnold and
the gay party he constantly gathered
about him. In the fine wide hall, where
tae guests were wont to be received
with stately courtesy, is now row of
small tables on one side and a confec-
tionery counter on the other. The por-
ton in front, to which queued gallants
and powdered danes were wont to re-
treat in the cool of the evening, is now
covered with small signs, calling atten-
tion to the ham sandwiches, ham and
eggs and other delicacies that may be
procured by the hungry.
When Arnold was attainted with
treason in 1880 this property was con-
flscated by the government and was
subsequently owned, among others, by
Hon. Edward Shippen, chief justice of
Pennsylvania; Gen. Jonathan Williams
and Baron Won Stenben, inspector gen
eral of the army under Gen. Washing
ton. 1t was acquired by the city of
Philadelphia in 1S6s.-N. Y. Press.

''Do you know, Mr.. Ringbrand, that
I've always had a persistent and haunt
ing impression that we've met some
where before""
Ringbrand was spending the even
ing at the Latimers as usual. and they
were all sitting in the starlight on the
veranda of the Laurels."
'You mean before l came to Tregar-
then, Miss Hester?"
AYES, it might have been ages ago."
Ringbrand smiled under cover Of
the darkness. perhaps it was. Do
you believe in transmigration"
II think not" she answered doubt
fully. 81 believe in the creed"
inlay I ask what creed?"
''I'd think you'd be ashamed to,
when there is only one--or, at most,
two"
Il stand corrected. Would it be her.
esy if asked where might find the
one--or two?"
'N0f course not; they're in the prayer
book; Isupposed everyone knew that"
''Going back to your impression
again, do you know that have an en-
actly similar one? am almost posi-
tive that you are right. Can't you help
me solve the mystery?"
"What's that you-all arc talking
about?" inquired the colonel, knocking
the ashes from his long-stemmed pipe
and crushing a dry tobacco leaf in the
palm of his hand for fresh charge.
Miss Hester was just saying she
thought we'd seen each other somc-
ygwhere before l came to Tregarthen, and
I'm almost sure she's right. We were
trying to locate the time and place."
''0h, / reckon it's just imagination" "
replied the colonel, packing the tobacco
dust into the bowl of his pipe. THAT is,
without you've been visitin' the young
ladies' schools in Virginia."
'tNo, l haven't been doing that" said
Ringbrand, laughing, though it would
doubtless be delightful experience"
THAT would depend entirely upon
your errand," interrupted Hester. 81
think most of the visitors used to leave
Miss Pelton's with tingling ears; they
should have, if there's any truth in the
old saying"
As Ringbrand was about to reply, he
saw shadow moving in the bushes n
lew yards distant. whats that down
there by the laurels?" he asked, rising
to get abetter view.
Atthequestion Harry Latimer sprang
from his chair and ran into the house,
appearing moment later with his rifle.
AS he came out, the shadow darted from
the bushes and glided among the trees
on the lawn. Henry saw it, and would

have fred if his father had not wrested
the gun from his hands. Seems like
you get less sense every day, Henry
gasped the colonel breathlessly. "How
do you know who you were going to
shoot at?"
Il know well enough, and SO do you,"
replied the young man, nonchalantly,
going back to his chair and relighting
his cigar. "They-all will get you some
day, If you don't get them first"

A Wonderful Change.

"Well, how are you, Sniverly?" cx-
claimed an erratic Austin man, try
ing to thrust his hand into the un.
willing, clammy paw of the supposed
acquaintance; show you have changed.
Never saw Il man change so in my
life"
"AIy name is not Sniverly," replied
the stranger, in cold, 3G-degrees-be-
low-zero tone.
Great heavens!" calculated the Aus
tin man. Worse and worse. You
have not only changed wonderfully in
your personal appearance, but even
your name is changed."--Texas Sift-

IN CONGRESS-.
A Forecast of the Business to Be
Transacted This Week.
The General Deficiency Bill Likely to
Be Pushed Through the Senate.
The Butler Anti-Bond Bill VIII Probably
Come to vote-The "Filled Cheese"
Bill-Six of the Great Approprla-
tion Bills Are Now Laws.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The senate
committee on appropriations is sur
prised at the headway it has been able
bills through the senate. OF the 15
great annual budgets, all have now
passed the senate but the general de-
ficiency bill, and Mr.. Hale, in charge
of that measure, has given notice that
he will call it up Monday. 1t is un-
usual for this bill to be reported
so far in advance of the generally ac-
cepted date of adjournment, it being
catch-all for appropriations and de-
ficiencies that can not be got in until
the last minute. Owing to the rapidity
with which this bill has been acted
upon it may become necessary before
adjournment to pass small urgent de-
ficiency measure covering items that
the treasury may yet call to
the attention of congress. 1t is
expected that an agreement will be
reached that will result in vote on
the Butler anti-bond bill either Mon
day or Tuesday. The "filled cheese
bill which Mr.. Sherman is urging is in
''parlous" shape, owing to numerous
proposed amendments. Now that the
house has acted on the immigration
measures before it, Mr.. Lodge, of Mas.
sachusetts, will seek to pass one of the
measures through the senate, SO that
out of the many conflicting plans some
law may be secured that will remedy
what are held to be existing evils in
our present immigration statutes
Six of the great appropriation bills
are now laws-one, the agricultural,
without the presidents approval. The
Indian bill has been agreed to with the
exception of four items, the most i'm
portant of which is that relating to ap-
preparations for sectarian schools The
final report on the legislative bill was
agreed to by the house Saturday, but
the senate has not acted upon it
There has been no conference on the
post Office bill up to this time. When
that occurs there will undou btedly be
struggle between the two houses on
the question of the subsidies author
ized by the senate. The naval bill has
been agreed to with the exception
of the senate reduction in the
number of battle ships, the
provisions as to the price to be paid for
armor plate and the prohibition of the
employment by government con-
tractors of Naval officers on leave. 1t
is thought that the agreement will
finally result in three new battleships
as compromise between the four au-
thorized by the house and the two au-
thorized by the senate,
Another partial report on the sundry
civil bill vas agreed to Saturday and
one more conference will doubtless get
this large budget out of the way. The
District of Columbia and the fortifica-
tions bills are in conference.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Four people were

The structure was of wood and the
family were all on the second

and cries of agony from the burning
people was the first warning that out
siders had of the fire. Before the fire
department responded to an alarm Otto
Malm, the father, was burned to death.
The children, Otto, aged eight, Allen,
aged three, Hilya, aged six, were taken
out alive but died a few hours later at
the hospital. Mrs. Malm will recover.
