Franklin Pierce was Burr's opposite.
The latter had too much wit; Pierce +

House a story of the truest pathetic

memories. Cass. Buchanan. and Doug

convention OF 1852. Pierce was nomi-

to agree and could not unite on one OF
its thres great figures. The Wings pit

Their mistake sent General Pierce into
Washington with 254 electoral votes out
Of 296.
Immediately after the election all the
Joy felt in the result by the candidates

their only child had entered a railway
carriage at Concord, N II, to go 70
Boston. They were to go to the gen

at the Hub before undertaking a long

rallied and Mrs. Pierce saw her little
son killed and shockingly mutiiated
within reach OF her hand. but where
she was powerless TO help. Instead OF
their long journey. then. General and
Mrs. Pierce turned back to Concord to
bury their child's disfigured body.
Neither Of them ever quite overcame

men who came TO WOO me had TO per-
form doughty deeds TO win my gracious
favor"

would you have them do? For instance.

sea. and were sitting on this wall gaz-

all she saw was furry Of gray tweeds
that got mixed up in shooting foam and
was accompanied by a loud and start

He turned around and looked up. He
appeared such small thing on the
broad bosom of the sea and an ocean
setting was 80 becoming TO him. His
teeth were as white as deep sea pearls
against the green of the water, and his
hands. spreading out before him, made
little peaks of light as they cut the
waves.
Lenore was dancing up and down
quite excitedly on the wall. Il eatreat

called in answer.

and it was nice to keep him going. too.
Lenore-God bless her,-wasn't any diff
ferent from any other sound girl of
twenty. and sometimes she thought she
preferred a title to a plain American
Mrs, and then again she thought she
didn't. Tom was the best American she
knew and Sir Godfrey was the best
EngHshman, and in the end they were
much of a muchness.
"Of course it is a very great honor,
Sir Godfrey" she began, screwing up
her pretty mouth and speaking mine
ingly.
He held up his hand protestingly.
Spare me that, It's as bad as say

He even had a sense of humor. this
six-foot Englishman. She was glad of
that
Surely. I viii spare you, and I sug-

wall for awhile. What do you say?"

readily. He gravely tipped the waiter

settled her skirts about her and fixed
her eyes on the horizon line, the after

upon her.
His eyes were on her.
Yes" he agreed with warmth

ever saw
Quite"
And you would ne4zr ask to see a
fairer anywhere"
Never anywhere"
Then she laughed. You are easily
satisfied. Sir Godfrey.
ION the contrary, I am extremely
fastidious."

Il think it a picture worth looking
at for all time" His eyes had not
changed their position.
Il thank you in the name OF my coun-
try"

begged.
"Are you not patriotic also?" she
asked.

The greatest interest for those who know
her life, that Of Aaron Burr and the
intimate friendship between them when
they were both young. IT is mysterious
and incomplete. It displays the beautiful
Dolly in fine light and it couples the
Madisons and the White House curious
" with the error and fortunes OF the
misguided Burr.
James Madison came into the White
House in the spring Of 1913. Aaron
Burr had by that time passed out of the
life of the young Republic. which for
many years he had illuminated with
dazzling brillianCy. In fourteen years
he had risen TO office after otfice until
he lacked only one vote of being Presi-

ment And the year which installed
James Madison as President brought

Queezly Madison White

One afternoon Mrs. Madison was
walking slowly among the roses in the
White House gardens. She had stopped
to touch a bloom when one of the at

lightly over the wall and address the wo-

Madison was frightened. For five min
