A familiarity with the country on the part

1t was the first time that he had stood

80 years. The last time that he said
Here he was In the area Of the old
barracks at West Point, when as q
gray-clad cadet, standing side by side
with his chum and classmate, Frederick
d. Grant, he had listened to the patter-
ing call of names by the cadet first
sergeant. He had attended reveille as
an officer of engineers in the United
States army, and later, after resigna-
tion from the service of this country,
as an officer high in the service of ia
pan, where he won medals and honor
for bravery
Williams next glimpse of the service
was as paymaster in the army of the
United States, position to which Gen.
Grant had appointed him after his re-
turn from the far east. Then came the
temptation, then the fall, and Williams
was cashiered from the service of his
country. Eighteen years of repentance
and upright life followed, and now at
the age of "a, by special permission of
the war department, and by special re-
quest of old-time classmates and
friends. Williams, one time colonel,
had enlisted in the service as private,
with the firmly expressed determine

one act which disgraced his past
1t took all of Private Williams forti-

changes in his life which the change in
his rank entailed. When Williams was
a paymaster his was the easy-going life
