weeks time had received from them
$40, $3.50, most substantial fund for
a beginning. On the strength of the
nucleus thus established, on March 81,
1899, Congress made an appropriation
of $4,000 to the Lafayette monument
fund, the amount being issued in the
form of a specially designed coin
known as the Lafayette dollar.
The design adopted for the Lafayette
monument involves two principal COM
ponents, namely, the equestrian statue
and the pedestal wherein it stands. The
former will be one of the largest figures
of the kind in the world, and without
exception the richest. The group will
represent Lafayette in full uniform
mounted on a noble war steed and
raising his sword. reversed, to the
heavens. 1t is proposed to use an alloy
of gold and silver, instead of tin and
spelter in the bronze casting to refine
and beautify it, and to cast the entire
figure by the lost wax process-an elab-
crate and expensive, though eminently
artistic method. The pedestal will be
of cOlored marble, with rich bronze ar
chitectural ornaments elaborate eXedra
and extensive artistic surroundings.
One of the original ideas of the
Lafayette memorial project was that
the monument might be completed and
ready for dedication on July 4, United
States day at the Paris Exposition,
and for some time the work was car
ried on with this end in view. 1t soon
became evident, however, that to COM
plete the undertaking within so limited
an interval would be an utter impossi-
bility. 1t was, therefore, decided to
prepare a staff reproduction of the de-
signs, which answered the purpose of
dedication and will stand on the site
of the permanent monument through.

to the hop. So she went ov.- with
Burton, and gave him one-third of her
dances. GreviIle had another third,
and the rest were open to the post at
large.
Greville did not look happy at all. 1t
was not the target record he minded.
He never thought about that 1t was
having to go down the boardwalk to
the hop-room behind Burton, and to
watch Miss Mivart leaning on his arm
and looking up into his face from under
the white mists of her lace hood. He
was not consoled at all when she look
ed up into his own face even more
sweetly at the beginning of the second
dance, and whispered that she was $50
sorry"
Now as the second dance had been
Greville's the third was Burton's. That
was the way it had been arranged. AS
the band began the waltz Miss Mivart
stood beside Greville in the center of
quite a group. The commanding otfi-
Ger was in the group, so was Burton's
captain, and so was the adjutant.
There were some others as well, and
also some women. Miss Mivart may
have chosen that position, or it may
simply have happened 50.
Any way, just as the waltz started,
Burton, light-hearted and light-footed,
came slipping and sliding over the can
dle-waXed floor, and pushing his way
into the midst. ours he said, tri-
umphantly.
But Miss Mivart did not heed him at
once. She was telling them all how
she had learned to shoot a carbine as
well as any one, and they, the men, at
any rate, were hanging on her words.
MIR. Greville taught me-" she said,
''and so did Mr.. Burton This was
the first either had known of the 9TH
er's part in it, and they exchanged a
look.) "They taught me with their own
carbines, too. The very same ones
they used themselves in the competi-
ton. But l shot best with Mr. Burton's
carbine. He must have fixed his Jrig-
ger to pull more easily; it WAS almost
like, what do you call it, hair-trig-
ger?"
She looked about for an answer, and
saw on their faces stare of stony hOr-
ror and surprise. They had moved a
little away from Burton, and the COM
handing officers steely eyes were on
his face. The face had turned white,
even with the sunburn, and Burton's
voice was just a trife unsteady as he
spoke.
This is our dance. think, Miss Mi
vart," he said.
The innocent, round, blue orbs looked
just little coldly into his. NO" she
told him, II think you are mistaken. 1t
is Mr.. Greville's dance" And she
turned and laid her hand on Greville's
arm.-San Francisco Argonaut.

That tired feeling, so prevalent
when the mercury climbed over the
top of the thermometer, has been
somewhat abated by the cooler

of an effort now to hold pencil, the
writer has been looking around to see
what has happened lately in this
nelghborhood.
j. b. Williams, keeper of Smith
Point Light Station, became tired of
his lonely estate, and has taken unto
himself a wife. Mrs. Minnie Gaskins
(nee Cundiff) is the lady who con-
sented to become the sharer of his
joys and sorrows, and they both APP
pear to be as happy as the proverbial
clam at high tide.

Cough, daughter of r. j. Cough,

cause, has been the means of adding
boy to the trio of girls that for the

Carlton French is also the happy
dad of brand new boy. He is as
proud as-well, perhaps, prouder than
Mckinley over his "vindication."
