Walker and DR.. Sewers were sent on in advance
scouts to find out Blazers whereabouts Rich
ards proceeded over the mountain to the vicinity
of Cabletown, not far from Harpers Ferry, where
scent of Blazer and his were like bloodhounds
on his track.
Blazer not dreaming that the thunderbo1t
would burst him soon, and didn't see cloud
in the sky He discovered that Richards in
the neighborhood; Richards knew that Blazer
in search of the other But this could not last long;
collision certain. So Richards, when he
found out that Blazer IN search of him, deter
mined to halt and wait, just to accommodate him.
He had no idea, though, of standing to receive an
attack. Ny men had been trained always in fight
charge Richards had formed his command behind
a wood that concealed them, hoping to surprise
Blazer when he got near. He did not want to give
Blazer chance to his shooting carbines.
The Folly of Drunkard
RUT his strategem failed by the folly of one of
- his men who had had too much whisky. The
dashed out of the woods and fired his pistol. 1t
gave notice to Blazer where Richards was. Blazer,
having notice of the presence of the enemy dashed
forward like hawk on chicken He halted at
stone fence that between him and Richards.
AS Richards thought that Blazers intention was
to dismount to fight with his Spencer guns behind
the fence, while his men, who were armed only with
pistols, would be defenseess, he ordered a retro
grade movement hill to draw Blazer away
from the fence.
Harry Hatcher, the "bravest of the brave"
in the act of executing the order when Blazer
discovered the movement and mistook it for
retreat, and charged through gap in the fence
into the open. Captain Tom Richards the
opportunity and struck Blazer one flank; Harry
Hatcher dashed forward and struck him on the
other flank. For few minutes there hand

to hand fight; but each of my men had pair of
pistols; these were as superior in a close conflict
as the Spencers were at long range. Many of
Blazers men fell killed and wounded; at last they
had to go with them. He made attempt when
he reached the village of Myerstown to rally the
fugtives; but in vain; they kept in headlong
flight.
Blazer rode a fleet horse and was one of the last
captured. One of my men, whose horse was the
fastest, youth, sgd Ferguson, at last overlook
him. Sgd had fired the last shot from his pistols.
The flying horseman leaned over on the neck of his
steed. sgd rose in his stirrups and delivered
powerful blow the neck of his foe.
His Career Was Ended
RLAZER fell from his horse; the race was over;
- and his career ended there. He had roamed so
long in the valley that he had blind confidence in
his star. To the warnings he had received he al
ways answered as Lochiel did to the Seer
Lochiel, untainted by flight or by chains,
While the kndng of life in his bosom remains,
Shall victor exut or in death be laid low,
With his back to the field and his face to the foe
This affair was as fatal to Blazer as Culloden was
to Charles Edward. Richards lost youth Hud-
gins, killed, and three or four wounded. The Spencer
carbnes had been of little at close quarters.
Blazers loss was twenty -four killed, twelve wound

extraordinary number of killed was on account of

A STERIOUS GRAVE

slab, undimmed by time or erosion, is as follows:
A FEMALE STRANGER
whose mortal sufferngs terminated
the 4th day of October, 1876.
This stone is erected by her dsconsoate husband in
whose she breathed her last sigh and who under
God did his utmost to soothe the cold dull of DEATH
How loved how valued once, avail thee not,

It's all thou art! IT'S all the proud shall be-
Many legends have been handed down for genera
tons concerning the author of this odd epitaph and
The Female Stranger" in days long gone by
favorite topic for romantic writers. William H.
Dean, of the most prosperous merchants of
Baltimore, of that John Dean to whom was
consigned the cargo of rum and sugar, was believed
by many to possess the secret but he divuged
it, although never denying his knowledge of the
identity of the passengers. He had all of the letters
and bills of ladlng which had belonged to his father,
and of course found in them the names of the hus-
band and wife, well of the French servantsi
but never word of explanation came from his lips.
That made the mystery the deeper; for there must
have been grave reasons for silence.
Although nearly century has elapsed since the
interment of the body and the erection of the tomb,
and although thousands of people have visited the
grave and pondered the mystery, there has
been dissertation of the tomb. True, in the Civil
War the iron fence cut away from the heavy
stones into which it had been embedded; but from
the tomb itself not the slightest piece has
been Clipped away by relic hunters 1t is an odd
and wonderful place for theorizng this dreamful
grave in old St. Pauls burying ground.
The theory which to the writer as he stood
beside the grave was that the young husband truly
and honorably loved his girl wife and, being nearly
crazed with grief conceived the peculiar idea that
although buried in foreign land, her grave should
never be neglected Therefore, believing that the
whole world might visit her tomb he withheld her
name, keeping it sacred to himself; and that there
fore he prepared that mysterious epitaph:
If that his object, it has been fully accom-
p1ished The sexton of the Soldiers graveyard
which is opposite to St. Paul's, said: Since I
came here few years ago not less than ten thou
sand people have asked to direct them to the
grave of The Female Stranger. Hundreds of Others
come and find the tomb for themselves, and never
day passes but that some pgrimages are made to
that peculiar grave"
At the foot of the grave stands tall oak tree
Legend has it that the bereaved husband planted it
with his hands. There it stands to-day, slender,
wlowy, bending before every gentle zephyr from
the Southland. whence she came.

TrHE mystery that for ninety years has been
attached to the grave of The Female Stran-
ger" still continues to attract the atten-
ton of many of those visitors to the Capital City
who are fond of making little pilgrlmages to the
many points of interest that abound in the ctys
environs. The graves of our Presidents, neglected
and almost forgotten many of them are, the
graves of the nations greatest authors, even those
most recently passed away, are scarcely to be COM
pared in interest with the quaint old fashioned
tombstone which marks the burial place OF: thus
unknown woman. 1t is only those who are fond OF
travelling out Of the beaten paths who are likely ever
but their number is great that every year thou
sands of persons find their way to it, notwithstanding
the lack of general knowledge, even among WASH
ingtonians, to its exact whereabouts. L had
heard about it vaguely for years; but it was Ill the
jantor of old Christ Church in Alexandra, Virginia,
where George Washington and Robert E. Lee were
worshipers, that encountered the first person
able to give me the facts and to direct me to the
tomb itself.
After the close of the Revolutionary War the city
of Alexandria great shipping port, and close
commercial relations existed between that metropo-
lis of early times and the British West Indies Instead
of being DID, tumble down town, sort of country
village it is to-day the city of Alexandria was
populous, and the river front one succession of
long lines of wharves, the decayng piers of which

surface of the Potomac River.
The oldest inhabitants say that large schooner

wealthy merchant of Alexandria named John Dean,
loaded with tremendous cargo OF rum and sugar,
reached its destination in the fall of 1915. Upon
this vessel came passengers handsome man and
a beautiful girl, who took quarters at hotel and
registered husband and wife. They were accom-
panied by two servants, valet and woman's maid:
They evidently French, and spoke not one word
of English However, six months after their arrival
the young wife Sckened and died; but nobody
seems to be able to say positively what was the real
of her death

and died, steadfastly refusing to reveal secret
which had been committed to him in his professional
capacity.

of Alexandria who admitted to the bedside
of the sick wife, and that she ministered in mater
