When the transport Buford sailed
away from Honolulu towing the dis
cisco it carried away Captain Grayson
Willard Heidi, late of the 18th Cavalry
and brother of Captain Heidi, Depot
Ouartermaster for Honolulu. With the |
cavalry officer was his handsome bride, |
the niece of the late President Nc
Kinley. And with them went story
which was known among their friends |
but did not receive publicity here. The |
Coast papers received on the Sierra |
have the following story, although it
was the transport Buford, and not the
Dix, on which the incident occurred:
DIES MONIES, November 10.-From
of the White House to a starv-
ing stowaway on a dirty transport is
the startling transformation which love
worked in the life of the niece of the
late President Mckinley, Miss Grace
now the wife of Captain
NllIdTO 1eIQl, uHlI VI
the Eleventh Cavalry.
The story has just leaked out at the
army post in military social circles
but the secret is being guarded there
still as we'll as it can be.
Hardly had the wedding bells been
rung when Captain Heidi received Or
ders to go to the Philippines.
Arriving at Seattle Mrs. Heidi finally
agreed not to oppose her visit to the
The Presidents niece ap-
pealed to the captain of the transport
Dix upon which her husband was to
sail She was referred to section 6,
General Orders. Quartermaster's De-
oartment, expressly forbdding any
to travel on the transport Dix
Dr. any transport used for the carrying
Of horses.
In vain the girl appealed to Secretary
Taft and even to President Roosevelt.
Powerful Ohio friends of President Nc
<inley also added their pleas, but with
,ut success. Captain Heidi accepted
he inevitable and his bride apparently
lid so also.
An hour before sailing a dashing
,avalry officer, slight of build, but with

Three days later, sailors and stokers
'hoveling coal from the ships bunkers
discovered a bedraggled figure hidden
behind the biggest coal pile. The figure .
wore a uniform and was apparently a
towaway. Upon deck the unwilling
towaway was dragged into the pres ,
nee of the transport captain.
"Of You go at the first port, Homo
lllu' Numbered the CAPTAIN. j
At that moment Captain Heidi came
n deck. He looked at the sorry look
ng figure in a captains uniform for
moment, but the glance was suff1 v
lent. In a moment they were clasped
n a fond embrace. Said the captain,
She's my wife and 1 don't care who e
nowS it, y
Then the truth came out. Mrs.
Ieidt, as soon as she DOTTED the old
inform and was attired in woman's a
oggery, told her story. She was still a
Ieak from hunger, but happy. She g
onfessed that when the President had e
cfused her permission to accompany G
er husband she stole one of her hus- n
and's uniforms. In the meantime she
listed him often upon the transport
nd at every visit hid away TASKS OF \
