traditions of his regular regiment
 Never mind them! The president never notices what a man wears or knows what he himself has on. I suppose he wants to hear what you saw and heard-and something about the Chiltons. for they seem to be in hot water. An, MT. Stone, what time was MT. Benton to report to the white house?''
 T was to bring him over as soon as he arrived, sir. Is this the gentleman ?" And 8 young man in civilian garb bowed courteously. Then, with a promise to return, as there were mat ters on which Gen. Thomas wished to question him, Benton hurried away.
 It was not yet nine o'clock, but al- ready half dozen carriages were halted along the semi-circular drive in front of the mansion, and a number of pallid, anxious women and grave visaged men were gathered about the beautiful. colonnaded portico. Through the waiting group the messenger swift ly led his charge. MT. Stone led Ben ton to a long window facing the river and the heights of Arlington beyond, left him there and disappeared. A moment or two later that door opened, and the two secretaries did not even rise or discontinue their work A tall, bony, man, with brown, sunken cheeks came striding in. Switching his tang ling coat tails out of the way, the president unhinged somewhere about the middle and dropped on the edge of the table.
 Laying his long, lean hand on Ben tons knee, he bent earnestly toward him. T need to know all you can tell me about Dr. Chiffon and his family" said he. Some of our vehement, war to-the-hi1t people are practically de- manding the arrest of southern fam fly here to be dealt with in precisely the same way certain Virginians propose to deal with the doctor and that spirited daughtersof his. No harm as yet" for here the young soldiers face had blanched and his eyes filled with dread and anguish. NO harm, that is Have we further news this morning?" he turned and asked the busy secretary at the nearest desk, tilting the while one long leg over the OIACl d1o S1O0plAS tAO UOuy h1lSG WlJll both hands. "Your general gave us the particulars of your escape so far as you had told him, and it is noted that you in no way reveal the names of those who aided you, but now What is it, MT. Nichofay ?' for with solemn face, the confidential secretary, holding an open letter in his hand, now stood at the presidents elbow. MT. Lincoln took the paper. knitted his brows and began to read.
 Tt came from the secret service, Mr. President, not ten minutes ago. said the secretary. "Col Baker, be- lieve, is in the ante-room."
 Benton felt like gripping the arms of his chair, for the room seemed swim ming as the president looked quickly up Not so bad,' said he, If we can only take care of them here. They have simply banished them father and daughter, both

CHAPTER XIV.
LINCOLN's DILEMMA.

LINCOLN B DILEMMA.
 .sThe president desires to see Lieut. Benton of your staff" wrote the ad- 5utant general, three weeks later, to the division commander and, just at time when he hated to go, for there seemed a prospect of forward dash on Gordonsville, the aide-de-camp found himself enroute. A confederate gallant, painfully wounded in charge of Benton, was being escorted to Wash ington. He had refused parole. He would rather share the fate of Louns- berry. said he, if his wounds speedily healed, or of poor Floyd Pelham, still languishing in hospital, if the wounds proved baf1ing. How much those fel- lows seemed to know of everything aranspiring within the union diyi- sions! Just what had been done with Lounsberry and Pelham-just where they were confined and everything con- nacted with their capture was all told -t Charlottesville almost as soon as a. Washington. How little, until long weeks after, as a rule, did our generals know of the daily doings beyond the picket posts along the front! With sorrow and anxiety inexpressible Ben ton heard that in spite of Dr. Chil- tons long years of kindness and gen. erosity among his townsfolk-in spite of Rosalie's acknowledged queendom, an almost bitter feeling now existed, and there was talk of arrest and in- generation at Richmond. Not until he had studied Benton for several days did young Winston admit all this--and more. He had heard it through off, cers at Robertson's headquarters. He had known the Chiltons we'll when he was junior at the varsity. He had often seen Lounsberry and had heard much of his standing and influence had heard, moreover, that he had been a devotee of Miss Rosalie's. How ever" with 8 quick glance at Ben toms face, which colored instantly, even under it's coat, of tan and sun- burn, "Lounsberry didn't seem 70 find favor" There was some trouble, he didn't know what. and Maud Pelham had had flare up" with Rosalie. and that was sometime neople didn't uB-

aoosevelt Thrown From HI. Horse.

2 WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-President Roosevelt had an escape from death so narrow that it was almost miraculous by being thrown from his horse while he was riding through the country near Washington week ago last Sunday afternoon. The president was ap- preaching a high fence at top speed when his horse stumbled and fell, throwing MT. Roosevelt off. He struck squarely on his head and was so se- verely stunned that he was uncon- scio,is for some time, just how long he does not know, as he was riding entirely alone When he returned to the city he ordered that not a word should be said about his accident.

tet to renderi { is Of unusual merit.
Miss Marsh, the soprano. studied in
Paris and possesses a dramatic voice
of great range and singular sweetness.
she is unquestionably the best So
prano who has ever sung this part I'm

ported to be quite the equal of Nicholas
Douty in this part and he received much
praise recently for his rendering Of It
in Philadelphia.
Miss Newkirk possesses an unusually
well trained contralto voice. Her lower
register is particularly full and rich
and she has proved herself to be an
artist Of the first rank. Too much also
cannot be said of the ability Of Mr..

the magnificent bass part Of this most
charming work viii please the most
fastidious Of our musical critics.
