wore the uniform of a captain, but men
of his own rank were no more cordial IN
their welcome than were the colonies and
the generals who clasped his hand and
extended their greetings.
In looking about the room the captain
noticed the commodore. He bowed and
then his brow knitted as if he. too. was
puzzled He recognized something famil-

was faint and hard to revive.
For an hour the captain chatted with
one group of officers or another and then

Ord was going to Cuba, ardent. eager,
full of the realization that the great mo-

door of opportunity which he had dream

Sleep came at last To the commodore
and when he awakened in the morning
In the night the order had come for the
army to embark. Regiments were begin

OF the many thousands of brave men

no one went more blithely than Garry"
Ord. Every days sun brought him so
much nearer to the great day-the day
of glory and of fame.
And at last II came.
When the forces were being formed for
the battle of San Juan he was alongside
Gen. Hawkins. The battle had not been

Next the commodore'S mind dwelt upon
the childhood Of Garry Ord. The boy.
he knew. had been named for Julius Paul
Garesche the gallant general who fell
on the field of battle at Murfreesboro in
60. He knew too. that 1T had been the
fathers desire that his son should serve.
he had served, in the army of the
great republic. But when Edward Otho
Cresap Ord died he had little to leave to
his son except his honored name.
However much the mother Of Garry"
Ord wished to carry out the generals
plans she was unable Too proud to let
her needs be known. she sought seclu
sion. Far away from the army posts
where she had lived she found home,
and there she educated her children. She
was living in little cottage in Florida
when. years after the generals death.
Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant met her by chance
and learned of her struggles. Mrs. Grant.
warm hearted and mOtherly. wanted to
take the burden off Mrs. Ord's shoulders
at once, but Mrs Ord would not think of
such a proposition.
Garry she said, was now a big hoy
and almost able to earn enough to sup
port the family 1t was only by the most
1nsistent persuas sion that she accepted
enough assistance from Mrs Grant TO
enable the boy to buy a carriage to carry
passengers from the station to the hotel
and embark in business in that way. But
Mrs Grant was not content. She re-
ported promptly to Gen. Grant what she
had discovered and when he learned that
the widow was receiving nothing in the
way of a pension from the government
he had bill introduced at once for her
relief and saw that there was no delay
In it's passage.
Then the sky began to brighten for
Garry" Ord. The one controlling idea In
'he boys mind was to be soldier like
his father. With the need of providing
for the family no longer pressing his
thoughts centered on West Point. But
when he was ready for West Point he
was little too old to enter. Then there
remained one course open to him. and
only one. He could enlist as a private.
This he did. and Garry Ord, son of
Gen. Edward Ohio Cresap Ord and Of
the blood royal became a private in the
army of the United States Perhaps if
he had not been the son of such
father, perhaps il he had not so many
friends in the my. his promotion would
have been a itter of long years but
when he had served we'll and faithfully
and for a due term private he was
made corporal. then sergeant and then
lieutenant. and next captain.
And so it was that the commodore, who

Thus the enumeration of the govern
