somewhere upon the banks of this
beautiful river. A hundred years after
this, your descendants shall wander
among the treillages and cut hedges
and boxed walks, and say. What a
sweet taste our dear great, great
grandmother had!"
And Katherine laughed at his merry
talk and touched his sword, and asked,
rs 1t the old sword, my Richard?"
The old sword. Kate, my sweet.
With 1t won my wife. Oh, indeed.
yes!" He drew 1t partially from Its
sheath, and unused moment. Then
he slowly untwisted the ribbon and
tassel of bullion at the hilt, and gave
it into her hand. II have better
hilt-ribbon than that" he said, "and.
when we go into the house, I will re-
trim my sword"
She thought little OF the remark at
the time, though she carefully put the
tarnished tassel away among her
dearest treasures; but it acquired a
new meaning in the morning. The
troops were to leave very early, and.
soon after dawn, she heard the clatter
Of galloping horses, and the calls Of
the men as they reined up at their
commanders door.
They rose from the breakfast table
and looked at their wives. Lysbet
gave little sob. and laid her head a
moment upon her husbands breast.
Katherine lifted her white face and
whispered, with kisses, Beloved one,
go. Night and day will pray for
you, and long for you. My love, my
dear one."
Katherine held her husbands hand
till they stood at the open door: Then
he looked into her face, and down at
his sword, with a meaning smile.
And her eyes dilated, and a vivid
blush spread over her cheeks and
throat, and she drew him back mo-
ment. and passionately kissed him
again; and all her grief was lost in
love and triumph. For, wound tightly
around his sword-hilt, she saw
though 1t was brown and faded-her
first. fateful love-token-the Bow Of

Quotations from a letter dated July
5. A d. 1852
Yesterday l went with my aunt to
spend the Fourth at the Hydes'. They
have the most delightful place-a
great stone house in wilderness of
foliage and beauty, and yet within
and the river boats. Kate Hyde said
the house is more than a hundred
years old, and that the fifth generation
is living in it. l am sure there are
pictures enough of the family to ac.
count for three hundred years; but
the two handsomest, after all, are
those of the builders. They were very
great people at the court of Washing
ton, believe. suppose it is natural,
for those who have ancestors. to brag
about them, and to show OF the old
buckles and fans and court dresses
they have boarded up, not to speak OF
the queer bits of plate and china; and
l must say the Hydes have a really
delightful lot of such bric-a-brac. But
the strangest thing is the household
talisman.' 1t is not like the luck Of
Eden hall; it is neither crystal cup,
nor silver vase. nor magic bracelet,
nor an old slipper. But they have a
tradition that the house will prosper
as long as it lasts. and SO this pre-
cious palladium is carefully kept in
locked box of carved sandalwood,
for it is only bit of faded satin that

ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD.
Vanderbilts and OeIrfchs Implicated
by Mrs. Fairs Mother.

NEW YORK. Nov. 16-Fraudulent mis-
representation on the part OF the agents of
the Vanderbilt and Oelrich's interests in
the estate of Charles z. Fair, is charged
by Mrs. Hannah +. Nelson. mother of the
late Mrs. Fair. in deposition to be filed
tomorrow in the Supreme Court by Bella

~. j. Mrs. Nelson is seventy-five years
old. The shock OF her daughters tragic
death made her dangerously sick Ii is

Mrs. Nelson testified that after her hus-
bands death she was induced TO go to
San Francisco. where the agents of Mrs.
Herman Oelrichs and Mrs. w. X Wander
bilt. jr-. induced her to relinquish her claim
10 the 100000 estate by alleging fraudu-
lently that they had cablegrams showing
that Mrs Fair died instantly and her hue
band survived her. which. IL true. would
destroy Mrs. Nelson's right to the estate.
As a result. she accepted $125 900 TO sign
agreements relinquishing her rights.

ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE.
Quartermaster General Humphrey
Says 1t Is Not Costly or Luxurious.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-"It has been
thought proper, in official report, TO
refer TO the army transport service as
most costly luxury" says C.. A Hum
phrey, quartermaster general of the army.
in his annual report 10 the secretary OF
war, which was issued to-day. As to its
costliness, I submit actual figures and
facts. 1 do not know in what respect the
service can be looked upon as luxury,
unless reference is made to the excellence
OF the enlisted mems accommodations. If
ii be luxury to furnish our enlisted men
with the class of accommodations now
provided in all the army transports, then
i favor the continuation of that
luxury In my opinion, the transport Serv-
ice needs no defense whatever, and no ex-
cuse is offered for 1t by the department
charged with its operation /, for one, do
not claim that there is any inexorable
military necessity for It's continuance, but
1 submit that the service Is unquestionably
very valuable and economic military
convenience
port is devoted to discussion of the trans
port service The duties that have been
performed through the service, with the
relative costs of transportation by the
government and by contract, shown
in the report. The total difference in favor
at S2,24S,439 in the report Internal and
transport service for the year cost $685., 500
in the Philippine archipelago, while the
cost of transporting the same number OF
passengers and animals and the same
amount of freight and mail under the pre-
ship companies, the report says, would
have been $l,027,977.

Two Officers Protested, and the Rear

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-The protest of
Paymaster Biscoe and Lieutenant Williams,
of the navy. regarding the language used
by Rear Admiral Evans in reviewing the
findings of the court which tried Assistant
Paymaster Rishworth Nicholson has pre-
scented to the Navy Department such a
knotty problem that the legal authorities
of the War Department have been con-
suited as to the attitude which should be
assumed toward the admiral, an unusual
proceeding. The protest went direct from
the Bureau of Navigation to the secretary
Of the navy without the judge advocate
general passing upon it. After considering
the matter in all it's detail it is said that
Secretary Moody concluded to sustain Ad
miral A. Evans. Later the secretary
changed his mind, for what reason is not
known, and at Secretary Moody's instance
Assistant Secretary Darling took the mat
ter up. Although his opinion has not been
made public 1t is understood he takes the
position that Admiral Evans in no un-
eQuivocal terms attacked the integrity of

hand to sustain his charge, it was his duty
at once TO order a court-martial of officers

dereclict in his duty and should be re-
primanded
The matter had reached this stage when
Secretary Moody determined to enlist the
legal talents of Secretary Root who, it is
understood. has given his view of the case
Among the papers were a number of pre-
cedents in cases where severe rebukes had
