many were on duty along the line OF
march and all could not leave camp al
one time.
While there was much of intense inter
est connected with the review, and the
occasion one of deeply inspiring and a
highly patriotic nature, still there was a
very sad and pathetic side to it all The
man whom the soldiers all loved and who
was respectfully called by the endearing
name of Father Abraham" was not
there. The assassins bullet had done its
deadly work only few weeks before and
Abraham Lincoln had not lived to see
the homecoming of those who had saved
the nation. Then, too. was the remem-
brance of the thousands who had given
their lives for the land they loved.
Homes in the east had been made desc
late. Homes in the west grieved for those
who never would return. High and how.
the rich and the poor, the north and the
south, had all experienced a common
grief But that innate characteristic of
the human heart. sympathy, had brought
some relief, and the thought of a reunited
country lessened the sadness.
The meeting of friends and relatives in
camp after the parade was deeply affect
ing and tears of both joy and sadness
streamed from many eyes. Some who had
lost loved ones came to talk with the
associates of the dead soldier. 20

of the place of burial.
Just opposite the Treasury building in
Washington. near Fifteenth street stands
the fine equestrian statue of Gen. Sher-
man. The aim of the artist was to pic
ture the general as he appeared at the
head of his troops on the memorable
occasion. May ~. 1860. 1t is said that he
afterward remarked that he was never
prouder of his men than when he turned
his horse near this spot and looked back
upon the column coming down the avenue
with the old swing as on the line OF
march.
In few weeks most of this great body
OF soldiers became plain American citizens
and again took up the peaceful vocations
not forgotten to honor the memory and
provide for the comfort of him who had
borne the burden of battle
Since that grea, review il has been my
privilege to march up and down PennsYl-
vania avenue on a number of important
occasions and twice to ride as member
of the staff of prominant commander
in chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. But however spectacular whatever
the occasion, and notwithstand the
wonderful Improvement in the appearance

the soldiers realized that they were
homeward bound at last.

This return trip was made under cir
cumstances very different from those
which attended the forward movement.
Then every step had been contested ana
four years had passed since the cry OF

federate response We'll take washington

times troops camped on a battle-ground
of former years.
At Richmond the fires started in the
storehouses when the Confederate army
evacuated the city were still burning, and
as all the bridges over the James mad
been destroyed, we crossed on pontoohs.
In going through the city we passed I'M
mediately in front Of Libby prison, and l
remember having thought of the many
poor fellows VINO had langulshed there
On the march we frequently met squads
of Confederate soldiers who had been
paroled and were returning to their homes
in the south, and, while the greeting was
not SO cordial as 1t Is today when ''Old
Yank" and Johnny Reb' meet, the spirit
shown was not unkind and the hard
tack and bacon were gladly shared with
the late foes.
Finally the main portion of the armies
in the east were rendezvoused in the
vicinity of Washington, and it was an
nounced that the grand review would
take place May 23 and a. The armies
of the Potomac and the James were to
be reviewed the first day and Sherman's
troops. the armies Of Georgia and Ten

notable occasion. and each command
purchased white gloves for his COM
pany, and we all trimmed up as best
we could. Some of the regiments got
new uniforms, but most of Sherman's
men appeared about as they did on the
march. l received a pair of new shoes.
and the remembrance of them is still
a vivid one. Only in one respect were

The columns for review formed near
the east front of the Capitol, and the line
of march was down Pennsylvania ave-
nue., past the Treasury and the White
House, near which a great stand had
been erected, similar, l suppose, to those
now put up on inaugural occasions. In
fact, there were stands and platforI..S oc
cupied by sightseers all along the line
of march, while windows and houSetOps
were filled with people. Great crowds
thronged the streets, and it was very
difficult, as 1 well recall. to maintain the

the schools dressed in red, white and

any arrangement of human flag, as
has been the case on numerous occasions
in recent years. Flags f1oated from near
ly every house, and in many places huge
banners and streamers with words of well

ran away, but the gallant rider held his
place in the saddle. and, finally master

along the column mid the plaudits OF
the multitude. Flowers were used in pro-
fusion, and many handsome designs were
presented to the officers, while the chill

the men in line. Two fine wreaths were
given to Gen. Sherman. one being thrown

the Bastille. T.1
Had 1t been his part alone to dis
cover the nature of the accusation that
led to his Imprisonment he would new
er have been Informed. Through the
girl he was to have married he learned
that he mad been accused Of circulat-
Ing documents calling the attention Of
the French people to the advantages
or a form Of government similar to
that recently inaugurated in the Unit
ed States. His accusers were, first. the
Marquis de Beauchamp, who had been
sutton for Amelie's hand; second,
Charles de Forles, whom Pyle had
beaten with foils at a fencing tourna-
ment before the court; third, Jean de
Pavnes, who had insulted Pyle for the
purpose Of drawing him into a real
duel, intending by trickery to kill him.
The motives OF the three men were not
made entirely clear or why they con-
spired together but 1t was evident
that Beauchamp had been the prime
mover.
Pyle languished in prison several
years. He heard little from the out
side, but what he did hear was that
the Countess Amelie was secretly true
to him. 1t would not be safe for her
10 express herself. so far as he was
concerned, openly. He also heard that
the discomfort among the people was
daily growing. Then it reached his
ears that the guards protecting the
Bastille were being greatly strengthen

commotion without--shouts. musketry,
cannon. Then came sounds Of the

Sidney Pyle before his Incarceration
had been full of kindness for all
mankind. He left the Bastille con.
sumed by thirst for revenge. One
feeling alone at first dominated him-a
desire TO learn II the woman he loved
was in danger. Happily he discovered
that her father, who was stanch
royalist. had taken his family across
the border, making, with a few others,
a nucleus for that multitude of emf.
gres which followed
Pyle, having been political prison
or, had nothing TO fear from the revO-
luton. Indeed, he was carried out
on the shoulders of the mob and amid
their acclamations. Had It not been
for a purpose he had in view he might
have been tempted to become one OF
the leaders in the cause Of freedom.
But his purpose now that he know the
countess was safe kept him in another
channel. His object was 20 find the
whereabouts OF the three men who had
conspired against him. Jean de Pavnes
was the only one Of the three who had
remained in Paris. He had Joined the
revolutionists and was a power among
them. The other two, being royalists
and known TO have been the cause OF
the imprisonment Of many persons on
accusation Of disloyalty, had gone to
Belgium.
Pyle's first intention was TO settle
with Do Pavnes. But an open attack
upon a man who was daily sending
