dfer's bounding heart, just nipping and
soaring the skin, had left its worst
mark on that dainty carte de yisite.
In that same pocket, too, was another
packet-a letter which had been picked
uD on the floor of the hut at Reno after
Burleigh left-one for which the ma jor
had searched in vain, for it was under
Meath a lot of newspapers. "You take
that after him." said the cantonment
commander, as Dean followed with the
troop next day, and little dreamed
what it contained.
That very day, in the heavy, old
fashioned sleeping cars of the Union
Pacific, two young girls were seated in
their section on the northward side.
One, a dark-eyed, radiant beauty, gazed
out over the desolate slopes and far
reaching stretches of prairie and dis
tant lines of bald bluff, with delight in
her dancing eyes. The other, win
some maid of 10, looked on with mild
wonderment, not unmiXed with disap-
pointment she would gladly have aid
den. To Elinor the scenes of her child
hood were dear and welcome; to Jessie
there was too much that was somber,
too little that was inviting. But pres
emily, as the long train rolled slowly
to the platform of a rude wooden sta
ton building, there came a sight at
which the eyes of both girls danced in
eager interest-a row of "A" tents on
the open prairie, a long line of horses
tethered to the picket ropes, groups
of stalwart, sunburned men in rough
blue garb, a silken guidon Tapping by
the tents of the officers. 1t was one of
half a dozen such camps of detached
troops they had been passing ever since
breakfast time-the camps of isolated
little commands guarding the new rail
way On the climb to Cheyenne. Papa,
with one or two old cronies, was play
iHg ''old sledge" in the smoking com
partment. At big station a few miles
back two men in the uniform of officers
boarded the car, one of them burly, ro-
tund and sallow. He was shown to the
section just in front of the girls, and a t
Pappoose he stared-stared long and
hard, so that she bit her lip and turned
nervously away. The porter busted
the seat and disposed of the hand lug
gage and hung about the new arrivals
in aduation. The burly man was evil
IDENTIFY a parsonage of Importance, and
his shoulder straps indicated that he
was a major of the general staff. The
other. who followed somewhat diff
IDENTIFY, was a young lieutenant of in
fantry, whose trim frock coat snugly
fitted his slender figure.
"Ah. sit down here, Mr.-Mr. Loom
is" said the major, patronizingly. $50
you are going up to the Big Horn.
Well, sir, hope we shall hear good ac
counts of you. There's a splendid field
for officers of the right sort-there-
and opportunities for distinction
every day"

dent Lincoln alive. On the night he
went to Ford's theater and was assas-
sinated Pendel opened the door and
let him out of the white house.
Good night, Mr.. President" said
Pendel, who expected to be off duty
before the return of the president.
Good night, Pendel," replied the
president as he entered his carriage.
1t is related that the ushers and
secret service officials on duty at the
excessive mansion during the war were
prone to congregate in a little ante
room and exchange "reminiscences.
This was directly against instructions
by the president.
One night the guards and ushers
were gathered in the little room talk
ing things over, when suddenly the
door opened and there stood President
Lincoln, his shoes in his hand.
The gathering broke up in disorder.
Pendel alone stayed behind. President
Lincoln, shaking his bony finger at him,
said:
"Pendel, you people remind me of
the boy who set hen on 43 eggs
"How was that, Mr.. President ."
asked Pendel.
"a youngster put 43 eggs under ahe
and then rushed in and told his mother
what he had done.
"'But a hen can't set on 43 eggs re-
piled the mother.
"'No, l guess she can't; but just
wanted to see her spread herself
That's what l wanted to see you
boys do when 1 came in said the
president, as he left for his apart
ments.
Mr., Pendel is going to put his knowl-
edge of the executive mansion into a
book, which will shortly be issued by
a New York publisher.

NESTOR OF USHERS.
Thomas F. Pendel EoIds the White
House Record.
He Was Appointed T'y President Lin,
coin and Has HeI1 His job Ever
Since-Has Met MiIIions of
Visitors.

Thirty-siX years in the white house is
the record of Thomas F. Pendel. an
usher, who was appointed November
3, 1864, by President Lincoln.
Pap Pendel, says the New York
World, is the oldest employe at the
white house, and is the only survivor
of the force on duty at the executive
mansion during the Lincoln admins
tration.
He is still as hale and hearty as the
day he entered the service.
There is not a gray hair in his head
and he possesses a remarkable store
of information concerning the hap
penings at the executive mansion for
almost half a century.
He is an authority on the furniture,
paintings and arrangement of rooms at
the white house.
Mr. Pendel is rs years old. He is
affable and delights to tell the visitors
to the presidents mansion of the
grandeur of years gone by.
1t is his duty when visitors come to
show them through the mansion. He
far as he can see them. Mr.. Pendel
takes "A fatnerIy interest in these young
couples, and is at his best when there
is an audience of honeymooners.
During the &c years he has been on
duty at the executive mansion it is
estimated that he has personally ex-
plained to more than 100000 people the
beauties of the famous east room.
Col. Bingham, superintendent of pub
lie buildings and grounds, who has
charge of the executive mansion, has
typewriter copies of the lectures deliv-
cred by the aged usher, which are pre-
served as records.
Mr. Pendel was great favorite with
President Lincoln. He was me ember of
