There seems to be a division of public

HAZEL and Smith and Morgan r. Gum,
called at the Delaware Fire Engine

made. Representative HAZEL said that
he had crossed the Gulf of Mexico fif-
teen times; had smoked the pipe of
peace with 20 Indian tribes; and had
been through Texas a dozen times, but
that one monkey run was the most ex-
citing trip he ever had in his life.

able den with the typewriter copy Of the
play in his hand, specializing upon the
wisdom of his venture and certain peculiari-
ties connected with it. Who was Mrs
Grey? Until she had written for personal
interview, he had never heard of her.
The National tribune., 1897-02-25

On that occasion she had inclosed photo
graph, which led him to imagine that she
desired an engagement, and the photograph
had induced him to grant the interview.
Then she had offered him the play. That a
woman hitherto unknown to the world
should have written at the outset something
that approached o masterpiece. was suffi-
ciently startling
Although he felt sure that he was not
aware of her true name and identity, he
knew something of her history; at least, he
had reason to think SO. She had given him
an outline of the struggle and necessity
which had driven her to make this bistrionic
effort, with a passion and intensity of pathos
which had made him promise to read her
work. and caused him promptly 10 keep his
word.
And now he was lanched upon an enter
prise which to his sober sense seemed more
than doubtful. He was not at all sure that
she had not been acting from first to last
that he was not the victim of some outrage
GUS plot of a masquerade. Perhaps she had
stolen the play. There were tricks of sty lie
here and there which seemed familiar. He
turned the pages again and again, but could
come to no conclusion, except that the
strength which he had always believed lack
to write a good play, was manifest here.
Another curious point was the similitnde
| between the heroine aud the author Some
of the very phrases used by Beatrice had
| been used by Mrs. Grey; the gestures
ascrbed to her were the gestures which
seemed to come so naturally to Mrs. Grey.
This fact initiated at least against the idea
of theft
| The address given by Mrs Grey was So
| Clifton Road, Ramsgate; she had been stay
ing in town in apartments while the fate of
| her play was in allegiance; but to-day, she
had told Percy Marks, she was returning
home; the thought of that home, as she
had in part revealed it 10 him, filled him
now with compassionate regret He had
gathered that she was linked to man who
had grown helpless before calamity, and was
assailed in his poverty and despair by temp
tation, from which it took all her woman IS
wit and courage to save him. Yet she
| thought Of him still rs the hero and lover of
her youth, and held that the harshness and
cruelty of his fellows alone had driven him
to desperation.
The successful manager had not much
sympathy to bestow upon this fool Of for
tune: he had no belief in a relentless fate,
and regarded hypersensitiyeness as mere
| idiocy; but he admired the woman who
sought so bravely to Withstand disaster, and
was interested in her fate.
About a week later he wrote to Mrs. Grey.
In few lines he told her that, Miss Darcy
having prior engagement, he had decided
upon offering to her, Mrs. Grey, the part OF
Beatrice in "a Modern Wife,"
As a result, it was to be supposed that

had come for them. "Marse Lincum's
guns had proclaimed it through the
Valley, and the mountains had taken
up the echoes and spread them far and
wide. They saw the army of their
masters fleeing before them into the
mountains, but the sound of them
brought JOY to the hearts of this simple
people. They had received a divine
command to depart out of Egypt.
They packed up their little belong
ings, and more or less things that didn' t
belong to them in a strict sense of the
word, and on foot, on horseback, on
muleback-in some instances a whole
family on the back of a single mule,
in carts drawn by COWS, in the old
family coach drawn perhaps by team
composed of mule and a COW, packed
to the point of bursting with wide-eyed
pickaninnies and driven by an ancient
family coachman dressed in equally
ancient livery-in all these things and
many other ways they came and took
up the line of march with the army, the
number increasing as the army moved.
Their simple and unquestioning faith
that "Marse Lincum had sent his
soldiers to bring them out to freedom
touched the soldiers deeply, for they
knew how lily prepared they were to
make the long march ahead, to say
nothing of its dangers.
They had no rations to give them,
for even then they were on short supply.
But on they trudged in the rear of the
army, and the music of their banjos and
fiddles and their quaint melodies con-
tinued to come from their camps far on
into the night and long after the tired
soldiers, excepting those on duty, were
soundly sleeping.
The National tribune., 1897-02-25
Y.

If Gen. Crook could have followed out
his original instructions, his line OF
march would have been much shorter
than events required. At Dublin Sta
ton, after the fight at Cloyd Mount
ain, Gen. Crooks telegrapher captured
dispatches from the wires intended for
Gen. Jenkins, announcing that Sigel had
been defeated and driven back in the
Valley, and that Grant had beer repulsed
in the WILDERNESS.
If these dispatches were true, then for
Gen. Crook to keep on up the Valley
to meet Sigel, in the low condition of
his supplies, was a risk to his army that
he promptly decided not to take. So
after continuing up the Valley for a day
or two, he suddenly turned his columns
back over the mountains to the Lewis
burg road, intending them to await fresh
supplies and more definite information
from the kanawha.
When fairly in the mountains once
more, heavy rains set in, and his army
labored heavily on over the muddy
roads, drenched to the skin. At last it
reached the Greenbriar with
IT'S SUPPLIES EXHAUSTED,
to find it swollen out of its banks by the
heavy rains.
The situation was a most critical one
but it seemed not to embarrass Gen
Crook in the least. Without manifest.
ing the slightest anxiety, he set about
meeting the difficulty apparently as il
he hadexpected it, and as fit had entered
into his plans from the beginning.
He at once dispatched parties up and
down the river in search of fatboats
A half-ro old boat, sunk in the mud
on the river bank some distance down
the river, was the only one that could
| be found.
After great labor it was brought UP
to the point selected for the crossing, and
patched up for service. A bold swimmer
carried a rope to the opposite bank. and
the ferry was established.
Forty-eight hours later, with the boat
running continuously, the last gun, the
last wagon, and the last man had been
ferried across and safely landed. The
horses of the artillery and cavalry and
the mules of the wagon-train had in the
meantime been driven into the river and
