might have left the throne room Of
an emperor, but as grasped the reins
and swung up into the saddle, be-
came conscious that he had followed
me. Craig flung up his hand in quick,
soldierly salute, and then, with sin
gle rapid stride, the general stood at
his horses head.

struck by the incisive military tone
of his voice, so different from the gen.
tleness shown within-"I am informed

with the roads to the westward"

night or day"
Then possibly you can inform me
whether the Big Hickory is fordable

"Not for infantry at high water,
sir; but there is another ford two
miles north where it is never over

"That would be at Brixton's mill7'

Lee smiled, and rested his hand al
most caressingly on the troopers

"You are valuable man for US to

He took the paper from the out
stretched hand of the aide, read it
over slowly and with great care,
wrote a word Of explanation upon the
margin, and then extended it to me.
Commit that to memory, word by
word, to your memory; we must run
no possible risk of its ever falling into
the enemy's hands,"
I can see 1t now, that coarse yellow
paper-the clear, upright penmanship,
the words here and there misused and
corrected, the sentence scratched out,
the heavy undermining of command,
and his own strangely delicate sigma
ture at the bottom.

I handed back the paper. and lifted
my hand in salute.
"You have memorized it,"

He held the paper before him as I
did so, and at the close lifted his eyes
again to my face.

This was the sort of work had
long ago learned to love; it warmed

flash Of fame into our very faces.

Beyond this must leave all to your
own discretion"
He paused, and I still fingered,
thinking he might have something
more to add.
"Are you one OF the Waynes Of
Charlottesville?" he asked gravely.
Colonel Richard Wayne was my
father, SIR"
"Ah, indeed! remember him
well;" and his face lit up with most
tender smile. 1--WE were together in

"He was killed. sir, the first year

"she is now in Richmond, sir, and

women are compelled to bear the
brunt of it. What heroines they have
proven! History records no equal

Then, as If suddenly moved by the
impulse of the moment, he again e1-

grave smile lighting his face, "our

PROTECT FOREST RESERVES
Roosevelt's Conservation Policy is
Taken Into Courts.

An attack on the conservation poll
cies inaugurateo by the Roosevelt ad-
ministration which will be more serious
probably than heretofore made, will be
contained in an appeal next week to
the supreme court of the United States
to declare unconstitutional the creation
of the big forest reservations of the
west.
Failure to win ON this proposition is
not to end the campaign of the anti
conservationists. They have prepared
to fight step further against the al
legged independence of the forest reserv-
atoms from the state laws on the theory
that the federal government, in Great
ing them, holds the land merely as
big land proprietor, and not with any
prerogatives of sovereignty.
The fight has arisen out of the at
tempt of the United States to enJoin
Fred Light, a Colorado cattleman from
ALLOWING his cattle to trespass' on
the Holy Cross forest reservation IN
the state. Despite Lights claim that
the creation of the reserve without the
consent of the state was in violation
of the federal constitution, and that ac
ton for trespass could not be main
tanned under the Colorado laws, unless
the land in question had been fenced
the federal court issued the injunction
The case was appealed to the supreme
court, and it was advanced for ora
argument.

ADMIRAL BARRY RELEASED
Naval Orders Rush Thomas to Take
Command of Pacific Fleet.

San Francisco, Jan. 17.-Rear Admir-
al Chauncey NJ. Thomas, commander of
the Second squadron of the Pacific feet,
arrived here on his flagship, the Cali
fornia, Sunday afternoon, after hur-
ried trip from Santa Barbara. Ad-
miral Thomas at once relieved Rear Ad-
miral Edward B. Barry as commander
in chief of the Pacific feet, in pursuance
of orders received yesterday from the
navy department. Admiral Barry has
requested immediate retirement from
the service under the rule of more than
40 years service.
The cause of Admiral Barry's sudden
desire to leave the service, after having
held the position of feet commander for
only a few months, is the subject of
great deal of gossip and speculation
in naval and club circles here. Stories
rejecting seriously upon the character
of the retiring admiral are being circu-
lated widely, and navel officers in port
have taken eognizance of them. There
| is an intimation in these stories that
the admiral has been forced to retire.
