Mrs. Taggart had consented to write
the introduction to the novel. A cor
respondent asked her if this was true.
She said that the question brought to
her the first knowledge she had of a
novel being written on the life of her
self and Captain Taggart, and init
mated what would be her answer to
any person who asked her to prepare
an Introduction to any book. Mrs.
Taggart seemed to regard the matter
as a joke, and laughed very heartily
when the correspondent suggested
that the novel would doubtless be
dramatized, and she might have the
privilege of going to the theater dur
ing the coming winter and see herself
impersonated on the stage.

The old gentleman came on from
