"My child" he said, not unkindly,

upon a long journey. All night long he
will be on the march, and by daybreak
he will be many, many miles from
here"
For a brief instant he paused, and
then, with stately courtesy, he uncov,
cred his head and, bowling low, kissed
the tips of the girls fingers, then re-
leased her hand and strobe away in the
darkness.
Scarcely an hour had passed when a
familiar step was heard upon the path
leading to the door of the cottage, and
Paul Rogers burst into the room.
With a glad cry the girl threw her.
self into his arms. He kissed her fond
~ and pressed a letter into her hand,
then knelt beside the bed and took his
mothers head in his arms and petted
her cheeks while she laughed feebly.
Nervously breaking the seal of the
letter, the girl read the following, writ
ten in a heavy scrawl:
My Dear Child-One who in the hour of
great sorrow has been strengthened and
encouraged by the knowledge of your love
and your patriotism returns to you, by
virtue of his pardon. him who is dear to
you as your affianced and dear to me as
a brave soldier, for the son of such q
mother could never be a coward.

For several moments the girl stood
motionless in the dim light of the tai
low dip. Then a tear dropped upon the
paper, and her lips moved.
"God bless General Washington"
she said reverently.

The officers face grew grave, but he
did not reply, Drawing his greatcoat
more closely about him, for the night
wind was rising and the air was grow
ing chilly, he took the basket from the
girls arm.
Shall we not go down to the cot

The girl made no response, but, again
placing the shawl over her head, she
walked beside him over the %untrodden
At the door she paused.
"She does not know" she whispered.
The soldier nodded his head, and they
passed into a room where an aged wo-
man lay in the dim light of "a tallow

When she saw the officer standing be-
side the bed the sick one gave a sud
den sob.
Paul, Paul!' she cried.
Nay, my good woman the soldier
replied, taking one of her thin, trem-
bling hands in both of his, II am not

The woman smiled proudly.

"a brave boy and a good and dutiful
son. 1t is because there are so many
boys in the army, sir, who are good and

NAY, nay" the woman made haste
to answer. Upon General Washing

AS her shadow swept across his line
of vision the officer leaped to his feet
and placed his hand upon his sword.
Then he beheld the slim young woman
standing beside him, her large dark
eyes. all shining wet with tears, search
ing his face ~anXiously, and he lifted his
hat from his powdered wig and bowed
courteously.

of the Alexander family, Frances AleXa
by name.
After his visit to the Barbados i'll
1871, whittier he went with his brother
Lawrence for the latter's health, he
wrote to William Fauntleroy that he
had hurried back TO Virginia for the
purpose of calling on Fauntleroy's sis
ter, Betty, in hopes ''of obtaining a
tence."
After his second campaign, result
ing in the defeat of Braddock and the
debut of Washington as an American
hero, he no longer had To sue for
the favor of the Virginia damsels. On
the contrary, Lord Fairfax wrote that
if he did not promptly put in an APP
pearance Mt Belvoir the ladies would
go in carriages, on horse or afoot ito

identical gent that had lately departed
to defend his country's cause"
In 1856 Washington spent a week in
New York with Beverly Robinson, who
had married Susannah Phillipse, daugh-
ter of Frederick Phillipse, one of the
largest landed proprietors of the colony.
Here he met Mary Phillipse, then a
girl of twenty-five. Short as were his
visits, they were long enough to bring
him to her feet. She declined his
urgent proposals and two years later
gave her heart to Lieutenant Colonel
Roger Morris. A curious turn of fate
made the Morris home Washington's
headquarters in 1776, both Morris and
his wife being fugitive Tories.
1t was in March, 1853, when Wash
ington was journeying to Williamsburg
to consult physicians on the state of
his health, that he met Mrs. Martha
cambridge Gusts, the relict of the
wealthy Daniel Parke Gusts. She was
twenty-siX years old, nine months
Washington's senior and a widow of
seven months standing. Washington
urged his suit to Mrs. Gusts with an
impetuosity equal to that with which
he had wooed Miss Phillipse and in
January, 1889. was married to Mrs.
Gusts.
Very little is really known about
Mrs. Washington. One historian de-
, 1904-02-17

scribes her as petite, overload, tenn

Be that as it may, Washington loved
her devotedly, and her poor spellin

cuse in view of his own shortcomings
in those respects. Their married life.
