chief apostle of the doctrines of Paine
in New Rochelle There has never
been any pay attached to his duties.
Capt. Lloyd has visited the monument
regularly during all these years to see
that it was not desecrated by religious
fanatics, and on holiday occasions he
has decorated it with flowers
Capt. Lloyd is an extremist on the
subject of personal liberty and, like
Paine, has risked his life in the de-
tense of his convictions. In the days
of the civil war he was so radical on
the question of States rights that he
actually ran for office in New Rochelle
on a ticket indorsing the Confederate
Constitution, and so angered the citi-
zens that a mob attempted to hang
him, and failing in this, drove him out
of town.
Horace Greeley, writing Of the Incl
dent at the time, denounced Lloyd and
said that he was "hungering for some
of Jeff Davis rations-" The surm1se
proved to be correct, for Lloyd, after
fleeing from New Rochelle, Joined the
Confederates and became a spy. I'm
til this day he is accused by some OF
the veterans of New Rochelle of hav-
ing been one of the keepers of Libby
prison, but he has always vigorously
denied this charge
Capt. Lloyd's own account or his
career is interesting. He says that he
was born in Providence and attended
school only two weeks, when he was
surned out for kissing girl in the
classroom. His only subsequent edu-
cation was obtained by reading the die
tionary.
A few years later his radical spirit
burst forth and he became one of the
leaders of the Dorr rebellion against
property qualifications in Rhode ISL
and. For. his prominence in this at
fair he was obliged to fee to New
York.
Just previous to the outbreak OF the
civil war Lloyd went to New Rochelle
and was appointed to an Office in the
New York Custom House under Blu
chanan. 1t was while holding this Of
fee that he ran for supervisor OF New
Rochelle on the platform indorsing
the Confederacy-
The feeling against him became 50
intense that on Oct 16, 1861, band
of citizens visited his home at night
and told him that he would have to
hoist the Stars and Stripes or they
would hang him and burn the house
Lloyd refused to comply with the de-
mand. Despite the assistance Of his
wife, who attempted to defend rne

1t is during this period that Lloyd has
been accused of having been keeper
in Libby prison, and there are old
soldiers in New Rochelle who declare
to this day that they saw him peering
into the prison pen at them Capt.
Lloyd denies this, but it is certain that
he knows more about the prison than
he has ever told.
During his stay in Richmond Lloyd
took a contract to make 10000
crutches, for which he received $1,000
in Confederate money. With his earn
ings sewed in a belt he sent out for
New York in 1864 in disguise, carrying
also 500 letters from the Provost Mar
shall of Richmond to Northern sympa-
thizers of the Confederacy. He re-
NAMED in New York. making secret
visits to his wife and family, until the
war closed and it was safe for him to
return to New Rochelle.
For many years Lloyd followed the
sea for a living, running a fishing
smack on Long Island Sound and rent
boat was sunk by some mischievous
boys, and the old man, "sick and torn
to pieces" as he expressed it, gave up
seafarfng-
Capt. Lloyd is a well-read man. He
has numbered among his acquaint-
ances George Francis Train, Senator
Tfllman, Tom Watson and William
Jennings Bryan
When Capt Lloyd appeared at the
Populist convention in Cincinnati
few years ago he was so patriarchal
in appearance that the delegates
seized on him and attired him to rep
resent Uncle Sam. Lloyd accepted the
mart with his characteristic good ma
ture He was SO bitter against the
gold standard at that time that he
paid his fare to Cincinnati and return
with silver dol1ars-New York Sum-

Eugene Markham was getting along
famously enough before he fell in love
and then with his usual luck he fell
heels over head in love with an heir
ess. The other fellows were not en-
yious of his success in his work
that was all honest enough. But for
a man who had weathered the finan-
cial storm far enough to be self-sup-
porting by his work as sculptor, to
fall into a cool million just because
the favor of petticoats-that was the
unendurable thing about it,
All of us had had our little affairs
with petticoats; were having them all
the time, in fact, and still are, but

jawed, tow-headed dabbler in mud.
who SHE'D at the fair sex, and had
never had a real bona fide affair, any
way, falling into the very midst of the
Four Hundred the first fiop-well, it
tended to discourage honest endeavor.
Gene was in love all right, though.
Nobody could discount that. He left
off work almost entirely and took up
poetry for diversion. The old crowd
saw little of him, and we did not lose
much at that. When he did drop in
to the particular studio where the
pipes and beer were in evidence, he
was stupid enough. He seemed to be
sort of turned inwards. He even gave
up the Saturday nights at Mafio1i's;
said he'd have to cut out the wine
now that he was about to be allied
to an angel-or some such stuff as
that.
The only time he ever woke up and
noticed things during those weeks
was when somebody would listen to
him talk about her. Then he was all
enthusiasm. She certainly had him
going all right.
And 1 reckon she was about as bad
1y gone on him. She really was a
pretty sort of girl-not the most acute
in the world, but an honest sort of
person, despite all the fol-de-rols she
was surrounded with. And swell
well. there was no doubt about that
Clothes and carriages and footmen
and coachmen, and all the fxings of
the upper crust. 1t used to give the
boys the jim-jams to see her drive up
to the door of the little old building
where most of US drew our drawings,
made our music, constructed our poet
~ or rehearsed our parts. Well, we
never could get reconciled to that
coachman and footman-wen, I be-
1ieve somebody would have murder
ed them only that they seemed to
be a great snap for Van Blinks, the
cartoonist, who certainly did set
abundant use out of them. l often
wondered if those menials or anybody
in the Fitzgerald family ever saw the
papers: still 1 don't suppose they
would have recognized themselves
The funny thing was that the girls
family didn't make any row over the
match I reckon Miss Florence came
pretty near having her own way in
the house anyway. Old Fitzgerald
pere. was defunct, and mere took
things pretty easy. AS for the girl
she not only was very much in love
with him, but was immensely proud
of his artistic attachments.

thought that was all there was to it.
So he was somewhat surprised one
day to receive summons to appear
at the Office Of Aaron Cannon, attor-
ney for the Fitzgerald family, either
in person or by attorney, and arrange
terms.
Not having a lawyer, and having, on
the contrary, a deadly fear of the
cult, he went himself. He had no
idea what it was all about. He hadn't
anything to settle on anybody himself
and he didn't want anything settled
on him.
The keen-eyed attorney soon made
it evident to the young sculptor that
spooning and a ceremony were not all
there was to the holy bond of mat
rimony.
Have you any estate at all, Mr.
Markham" he inquired.
Nothing but two or three thousand
have saved during the last three or
four years." he replied. flushing.
