 When be got home that night she confronted him at the door, aud he gasped with horror. She was not dressed for dinner, and she had one arm ln a sling. Both thumbs were done up In huge bandages. There was a towel tied around her tousled head end a cut over one of her eyes. The Sdor of llnlment was heavy on the air.
 "For heavens sake what has hap penedT' he asked.
 Without a word she led the way Into the little drawing room. Over the cushioned couch oriental drnperies had been dispersed artistlcally with spears lnd armor. forming beautiful. cozy corner. A lamp. burning dimly. hung In the center.

 He seated himself luxurlously among the plllows
 How on earth did you manage it alone?" he asked. with exaggerated ad-  mlratlon and wonder. He knew just how lt was done. He had always had to put It up himself before this.
 "Oh. just a piece of lead pipe. few tacks and a paper of pins" she said simply. yet pyoudly. "I only fell co she stepladder twice"
 There were almost tears In his voice when he spoke. It really touched him to sec her standing there bandagcd like a broken down race horse. Besides that. no one knew how he had dreaded the task of putting 1t up himself.
 "Ah." he said. "when will we men realize what a priceless treasure we gain when we win the love of true woman"
 He stretched out his arms affection ately toward her. and the entire thing collapsed about his head with a crash kate Masterson in Life.

 once enjoyed the privilege of seeing an army of mackerel successfully cor ner shoal of small fry In rocky shallow pool which was cul de sac. The mackerel swan behind their vic tlms In scrrled ranks, company of hungry determined creatures. intent upon gorglng feast to which there need be no limit. They had followed the fry for miles maybe. merely swal- lowing one here and one there to keep their appetltes whetted. Now they had cornered them where there was no es- cape for their victims. No alert fisher. man on the lookout for Just such an opportunity was at hand to convert their triumph and fcasting Into captiyi- ty and lamentation. They might feast at will.
 And. ye gods. feast they didl No one who has not seen t would believe that the cubic capacity of mackerel could possibly deal successfully with the number of small fish he actually swallows. The way he conducts the operation of feastlng Is unique. Open. ing his mouth wide. the mackerel darts In among the small fry. some of which are perhaps one-thlrd of his own length. In an Instant onc of these Is to be seen sticking half in and half out of his mouth. Then the mackerel gives one gulp, and the victim has disappear cd. Without q moments delay the process Is repeated and repeated so many times that the spectator cannot fall to be concerned for the immediate future of the particular mackerel he has watched. Yet nothing happens.
 As for the fry. their helpless anguish is somewhat heartrendlng. The whole shoal of them boils and churns the wa ter in an agony of fear. High Into the air they leap in order to avoid thel' voraclous enemies. landing themselves often enough upon the weed covered rocks which skirt the pool and pantins their lives out there rather than leap back Into the seething mass of their harassed companions beneath.-LOng mans Magazine.

luton and the second war for independence.
He was born in Auburn, Me-, in 1889, at
tended the village school, studied law and
taught school, but left his law practice to
become first lieutenant of a company in the
Twelfth Maine regiment in 1861. He be-
came captain Of Company B and partici-
pated with General Butler in the capture
Of New Orleans. While the Crescent City
was captured Captain Packard experienced
a like fate and in 1863 was married to Miss
Steele, daughter Of an old and respected
resident of New Orleans. He became Judge
advocate in New Orleans, but later Joined
Sherman's army and when his company was
mustered out he was selected to carry the
regimental colors back to Augusta to be
deposited in the state archives. Captain
Packard then returned to New Orleans to
ngage in the practice of law. He was one
Of the seven members of the board Of reg
istration selected by the constitutional con-
vention to administer the affairs OF state
during the reconstruction period. Then ne
was register of cOnveyances and later
United States marshal. He became the
controlling political force in the state and
went to the national convention in 1876 to
vote for Grant for a third term. He was
recognized as the personal representative OF
the president in that part Of the country.
Then he was elected governor of Louisiana,
after making a personal campaign and go
ing about fearlessly among the people,
never suffering any insult or danger, even
though he was a Yankee captain. In the

the election of President Hayes it was a

THE ILLUSTRATED BEE.

the Thirteenth, which were already across.
Upon hearing the orders brought by me he
at once took personal supervision of their
execution and in a remarkably short time
had the entire Thirteenth infantry in line,
through the wire fence and in good position
about 100 yards from the bank of the creek,
and delivering a deadly fry upon the enemy
in the trenches of Fort San Juan.
During this time Colonel Wikof ad-
vanced into the open field, personally super
intending this first line and fearlessly ex-
posing himself without the slightest cover
or protection. / was with him several times
during these trying moments, receiving
orders from him or bearing Information or
messages to him, and found him through
all calm and apparently Indifferent to all
danger.
After the formation Of the Thirteenth
was completed Colonel Wikoff walked back
toward the ford, evidently to direct other
troops Of the brigade to position as they
crossed the stream. When a few yards
from the creek bank, still in the open field,
and facing directly from the enemy's posi-
ton, he suddenly dropped backward with a
blight exclamation. | was but a few feet
from him and was at his side instantly.
with the assistance of two enlisted men,
one of whom was Of the Ninth Infantry
band, doing duty giving first aid to the
wounded, l removed the colonel at once to
the protection of the creek bank and while
the soldier opened his garments and
bandaged him with a first aid package, I
gave him liquor from a small flask | car
ried in my pocket. The colonel was con-
scious and perfectly rational. He spoke to
mi several times, principally regarding ar
rangements for sending him to the hos
pital, but was evidently sinking rapidly.
After doing all that could be done to ease
and assist him l arranged for prompt re-
mOval to the division hospital. The soldiers
who proceeded to bear him to the rear re-
ported to me afterward that he spoke little
or not at all after l left him and expired
when they had passed over about a half
mile on their trip to the rear.
Although Colonel Wikoff was standing
facing exactly away from the enemy's posi-
ton at the time he fell he was pierced by
a ball from side to side. The bullet must
have passed over and very near the heart.
1t seems to be the general opinion that the
colonel was shot by a sharpshooter posted
in a treetop to pick off officers. . " t"
Omaha daily bee., 1902-03-09

Within twenty minutes after the colonel
fell the enemy's position was ours"
Colonel Egbert, who succeeded Colonel
Wikoff, was killed while leading the regi-
ment during an engagement in the Philip
pines. Colonel French, who followed Colonel
Egbert, died in the hospital at Manila and
was succeeded by Colonel Miller, who
brings the regiment back to Fort Crook,
and old friends.
Lessons in patriotism and love Of country
are early instilled in the minds Of Ameri-
can youth. At home and at school they
are constantly being made familiar with
the deeds of warriors and the works Of
statesmen who have made this country
great. George Washington naturally heads
the roll of heroes, for the passage of time
finds no diminution of the love of the people
for this foremos of Americans. Para
doxical as 1t may be, 1t seems that as dis
lance grows the perspective widens rather
than narrows, and the great figure of the
Father Of His Country stands out still
grander with each recurrence of his birth
day. The custom of giving it special OBJ
servance in the public schools serves not
only to pay a grateful tribute to his mem
DRY, but to inculcate the lesson OF his
intense love Of country and a desire to
emulate his career. Beginning in the pri-
mary grades and continuing throughout
the school life, this notable example of true
manhood is before the eyes of the child
always, and the result is most naturally
not alone an added generation for the first
president of this republic, but a better
conception of the privileges Of American
citizenship. The children who are called
upon to represent George Washington and
his wife during the holiday observance have
even more reason than their companions at
school to recall the precepts and practice
of the eminent gentleman whose natal day
they celebrate.
There is living quietly on a splendid stock
farm in Marshall county, Iowa, Hon.
stephen B. Packard, who has played no
inconsiderable part in the making OF Amer
lean history and whose career touches three
states widely separated. He is of an old
