TT probably will be a relief to the
l great masses of the people to
know finally and positively that Miss
Edith Root, daughter of the secretary
of state, and Ulysses S. Grant III. are
to have an extremely simple and quiet
parents on Rhode Island avenue. The
Children of the big ones. especially in
Washington, ordinarily have enough
spent on the gewgaws of their we'd
dings to keep them in household sup
plies for 10 years. The. only social
affairs in Washington more costly
than funerals are the weddings.
The daughter of the secretary of
state is to marry the grandson of a
PRESIDENT and the greatest soldier of
his time, and few people are to be
gathered together to witness the cere
mony. 1t is a fine and an appealing
arrangement. There probably will be
nor the groom, it is supposed, can
prevent the flood of gifts which the
prominence of their families will start.
Young Grant is a quiet, unassuming
studious fellow, with bent of mind
for mathematics, for he graduated
into the army's engineering corps.
The bride is a girl of domestic tastes.
She has been comparatively little
known in the swirling circle of Wash
ington society. 1t is said that she
has good sound sense. and her dis

few Sundays ago. He spent the day,
as is his custom, attending church in
the morning, and spending the after
noon in the open air.
In the afternoon he received COM
mittee of ten representing the Hun
garian Republican club of New York,
of which the president is an honorary
member. The custom of the club of
extending its congratulations to Mr..
Roosevelt on his birthday began when
he was governor of New York He
became a member ON his return from
Cuba in 1898, and during his first cam
paign for governor of the state of
New York the club took an active
part in New York city. The commit

one who has only served his country
three years.
The senatorial and congressional
records are called in reQuisition and
lists made out and the length of time
men have held office noted. The
house members are not as exacting
and little more license is permitted
them, but still an immense amount of
form is necessary to steer clear of the
breakers of social political life.
Diplomats are exempt to a certain
extent, as after presenting their Gre
dentials to the president they quietly
await the onslaught of visitors. 1t
requires discriminating foreigner or
one who has employed secretary
from the very innermost fold of the
fashionable set to tell whom to re-
ceive and whom not and to sift the
shower of cards that descend upon
him, especially if he belongs to the
diplomatic corps.
Washington is an especially easy
city for outsiders, as they have the
right of way and must call first on all
those who hold an official position.
These visits are returned and thus the
thin edge of the wedge is inserted that
leads to social distinction.

CHAPTER vi.


They were seated rather close togeth-
er upon the steep hillside, gazing silent
ly down upon squalid Glencaid. At such
considerable distance all the dull shah
biness OF the mining town had disap-
peared, and it seemed almost ideal,
viewed against the natural background
of brown rocks and green trees Every
where was loneliness, no sound telling
of the labor of man reached them,
and the few scattered buildings far
below resembling mere doll-houses.
They had conversed only upon the
constantly changing beauty of the
scene, or of incidents connected with
their upward climb, while moving
slowly along the trail through the
fresh morning sunshine. Now they
sat in silence, the young girl, with
cheeks flushed and dreamy eyes aglow,
gazed far off along the valley, the
man watching her curiously, and won
dering how best to approach his task.
Observing her now, sitting thus in
total Inconsistencies of his scrutiny,
Hampton made no attempt to analyze
the depth of his interest for this waif
who had come drifting into his life.
Even to his somewhat prejudiced
eyes she was not an attractive crea-
ture, for she possessed no clear con-
ception of how to render apparent
those few feminine charms she pos
sessed. Negligence and total uncon-
seriousness of self, coupled with lack
of womanly companionship and guild
ance, had left her altogether in the
rough. He marked now the coarse
ragged shoes, the cheap patched skirt,
the tousled auburn hair, the sunburnt
cheeks with suggestion of freckles
plainly visible beneath the eyes, and
some of the fastidiousness of early
days caused him to shrug his Shout
ders. Yet underneath the tan there
was the glow of perfect young health;
the eyes were frank, brave, unfiinch-
ing; while the rounded chin held
world of character in it's firm con-
tour. Somehow the sight of this
brought back to him that abiding
faith in her dead gameness" which
had first awakened his admiration.
