the card OF James Monroe. She read
the name and stood holding the card,

she spoke very low as she always did
when she was angry. What has that

I. don't you know It's Mr.. Monroe,

"The maid went back to the house,

Monroe rose She stood I'm the middle
Of the room facing him. She did not
ask him TO sit down. He bowed and.
addressing her formally. made her
rather set speech-that II was many
years since they had met, that the
lapse of time brought Its softening in
fiuences. that they both were nearing
the grave, when past differences could
be forgiven and forgotten-in short,
from his point OF view a very nice.
concilatory. well turned little speech.
She answered. still standing and look

come to tell me that you repent. that
you are sorry, very sorry, for the mis-
representations and the ISLANDERS and
the stories you circulated against my

no lapse Of time, no nearness to the
grave, makes any difference She

up his hat and left the room"
In this connection 1t may be said
that the oft repeated story Of the
meeting Of Mrs. Hamilton and Aaron
Burr many years later on an Albany

ably suggested by the Monroe incident.
