Ainslee's for June has another story of
the West by Roy Norton, called Sanders
the Valiant" Mr. Norton has established
a reputation as a writer of the West who
knows the West as few other authors of
fiction do. Westerners themselves know
this as residents Of other sections Of the
country cannot. This, with the profound
human sympathy, of which he shows him
self master, combines to make every
thing that he writes something especially
appealing. Sanders the Valiant" has Mr.
Norton's greatest attraction.

records. There have been about }5
contestants from South Carolina par

President Pierce to review the troops at For
Monroe. The night following the review the
and the waters beyond were such blaze of 7
technic wonders as few had ever seen. Then
came 1u1l in the booming of cannon, the cheer
ing and applause, and suddenly there flashed
across the sky in flaming letters the two names
Jefferson Davis and Franklin Pierce. Across
the sky of my memories one of those two
names still flashes with dazzling bril1iance.
History has done its worst, and its best,
for Jefferson Davis, just as during his life Fate
did for him her best and worst l have no
wish or will to discuss the political issues
which sent the eloquent orator. the brilliant
statesman, the noble man, out of the path
where Destiny was calling him to higher-to
the highest heights. | have forgotten them.
His aims and ambitions, garbled perhaps and
often grossly misrepresented are borne away
upon the tide of history. Only the character,
the man. live in my memory; something as
much revered to-day in that long ago when
| had the good fortune to see much of him
and know him well. And of that, of my
personal memories of Jefferson Davis, / am
always glad to speak.
Of that first memory, only one incident re-
mains-a curious incident. | had been told
that Mr. Davis had lost one eye and when
they took me to see the great man in real flesh
and blood after the letters of fire only remem-
Der looking most eagerly at his face and ex-
periencng a sense of surprise at not being
able to discover that an eye missing. The
disappointment of expectation, however, was
more than balanced by the pleasure it gave
me to see that earnest, soulful face which Won
my childish trust as it won the admiring con-
fdence of older people.

Meeting Him Officially"

T NEVER Mr.. Davis officially till the evening
of September 10 1868, the night of my wedding
reception. OF all who came to greet the child bride
of the beloved General, Mr.. Davis and his cabinet
were almost the only ones who civilians
evening dress. In those days the men all sol
diers, and the all sacrificing everything
to help Very little, indeed, to be had even for
money, to eat, drink, Through the kind
of friends at the North, my wedding dress had
been snuggled through the lines for me, and it
something so unusual that after greeting me Mrs
Davis remarked:
Dear me! Where did you get those clothes?'
Turning to the General, smiling, Mr.. Davis said:
Where did you get the little lady who is in the
cothes?"
The editor of "The Richmond Examiner"
standing across the room. He had been mercilessy
assailing the President and the administration
Mrs Davis called her husbands attention to his
presence there but Mr. Davis instantly replied:
Let not look that way, my dear. We have
come tonight to look at beautiful things and think
pleasant thoughts.
The Generals sister suggested taking the Presi-
dent and his wife to the dining room.
Have you really something to eat there?2 Mr..
