ness, she received word that a regi-
ment was approaching on a practice
march. Immediately she called for
her horse, mounted and galloped down
the road to meet the dusty, travel
stained troops. Saluting the colonel
she placed herself at the head of the
column, and led it past her husband
and Queen Emma, personally giving
the word of command for the salute.
At another times she reviewed her
army when fully 10000 soldiers of all
arms were present, and as their young
Queen rode on to the field she evoked
an almost frenzied enthusiasm among
both soldiery and people. 1t was at
first decided that on this occasion she
should appear in the uniform of a
general in the Royal Horse Guards,
dark blue with gold facings, epaulettes
and the other insignia of rank. but
her majesty vetoed the proposition
and wore the simpler costume of
white amazon riding habit with the
regulation tall, black hat.

the family clock had been wound up
that night she was on the highway
with bundle under her arm and Wis

the fences. During the first mile she
was exultant. Applause and bouquets
were awaiting her at the end of her
journey. During the next she was only
certain that she would begin at a sal

first she only laughed at the peddler,
but when he continued to fiatter she
began to think there might be some
thing in it. He clinched the matter by
bringing along with him one d@y a
travelling doctor, whom he had picked
up couple of miles away. The t. d..
was selling pills. salves and kidney
cures, and he had once been in love
with a chorus girl. His judgement
might therefore be accepted as sound.

Three days later Hattie astonished
her mother by expressing a desire to
go on the stage, and, of course, her
mother was shocked. When the news
was communicated to the husband and
father he was also shocked, but the
shock didn't render him speeches.. On
the contrary, he spoke right out and
said:
Il never heard of such nonsense, and
don't want to hear of it again. You
must be crazy to get such an idea in
your head
Hattie didn't talk back, but opposi-
ton acted upon her as it has on hun
dreds of other stage-struck girls. She
became more certain that she was a
budding dramatic jewel and the out
side world was pining to receive her
with bouquets as big as beer kegs. The
tin peddler got himself into iail for
passing a counterfeit bill and couldn't
encourage her further, and the travel
ing doctor passed on into the state Of
Wisconsin to find other customers in
want of his wares, but Hattie did not
let go of her ideas. On the contrary
she chung to them and encouraged
them, and one day it was her luck to
read in the county paper that an
Uncle Toms Cabin company would
open for a week in a town fourteen
miles away.
Here was her golden opportunity. It
was no use to attempt to reason with
her father and mother, and as for
Ebenezer he was "sot' agin actresses.

visits the men in their barracks, and
calls upon the officers in the regl-
mental casino, there to discuss affairs,
large and small, connected with her
command.
Until recently the Grand Duchess
Victoria Militia of Hesse shared mill
tary honors and popularity with the
empress. Perhaps the most enthusi-
astic of all the lady colonies, she COM
manded by title the noted "One Hun
dred and Seventeenth" infantry regi-
ment. Nor did she allow the acting
colonel to rob her of her duties and
privileges. She was seen almost daily
on the parade ground when her regi-
ment was at work, on which occasions
she wore the undreSS uniform of the
German, army colonel, dark blue coat,
red collars and cuffs edged with blue,
and heavy skirt, peaked cap with
red band sword belt and knotted
epaulettes At parade and reviews she
headed her men in all the glory and
pomp of full dress uniform, her he'll

lions which covered her breast

the Red Eagle.
Lost Her COloneIcy by Divorce.
1t was at the kaiser parade in Ham
burg that she reached the pinnacle of
her fame, for on that occasion his ma
jesty sent his personal adjutant to es-
Cort her into the imperial presence,
where she was publicly congratulated
on the magnificent appearance of her
command. Then came her divorce
from her husband. and in keeping with
his policy of distributing military hon
ors, the kaiser signified his disapproval
of her conduct by depriving her of her
regimentals, and her monographs and
arms were removed from the regi-
ment's equaletteS.
But the withdrawal of royal favor
has not taken away her popularity.
