TALE OF A FAMOUS SOLDIER

40 miles from Nashville, we could not
get over on account Of low water, so
landed my men and marched them
overland. I reached Nashville day
in advance of my army. I had not
met Thomas since we had left West
Point and had to introduce myself to
him. He grasped my hand and gave
me a hearty. warm greeting and at the
same time asked where my command
was. which / said would be up the next
day.
with much concern in his voice
he replied: wish they were here
now
Il inquired: why the urgencyr

What is the matterr I asked.
stanton and Halleck have been
teIegraphing me every day to attack
Hood and drive him away, but I have
not been ready. and because believe
my force now here insufficient, have
not complied with their orders. for I
believe they do not understand the
situation. But, here Is an order from
Grant to attack AT ONCE
Il asked Thomas what the situation
was. and he explained his position and
forces by taking me up to Fort Neg
ley. where we could see the lines Of
both armies. After a careful examina-
ton Of the works. and comparing his
army with Hoods, turned to him and
said: Thomas. you are right and
Grant Is wrong. and II Grant were
here he would say So
Immediately Thomas reached over
and grasped my hand. and the vigor
Of his action convinced me that he
fully meant what he said as he an.
swered: Now. Smith, that have your

when we go after Hood we will be

William T. corneII's Story Of the
New York Farmer and His Sud-
denly Acquired Fortune In
Railway Bonds

I'm an experience Of quarter Of
century as a banker, / witnessed the
effect In several cases Of sudden ac-
cession of great fortune, and In two
or three cases the reverse effect of
the sudden loss of fortune" was
once told by the late William T. Cor
nell, at one time president of an i'm
portant trust company In New York.
But ! think the strangest of all the
experiences was one that happened
at the time was cashier of the old
Union bank in New York, an institu-
ton which Is no longer In existence
That experience knocked galley west
my preconceived notion that poor
man who suddenly came into posses
sion Of considerable fortune would
be so bewildered or excited that for a
time he would not know whether he
was on foot or on horseback.
There came into the Union bank
one day in the late seventies decid-
edly rustic looking man, who was,
should say, about forty years Of age.

not achieved by hiring a lawyer. A

question Of a woman-not so beautiful
as this one here, but In her own way
shrewd, the same sort of a woman, I
might say-mysterious, beautiful, and

ever he was, he never loved any other
woman as he did that one. And by
the Lord when 1t comes to that. no
other woman in that town ever was
loved more than she by everybody"
Facts Incorrect.
In setting forth the details of these
two lives as they are concerned with
this story, let US adopt the courtesy of
ladies first Nine. Vespucci's career
began in America, when she made her
appearance in Washington In connec-
ton with some mythical land claims
against the government. She was
young, fair to look upon, and an
nounced herself as direct descendant
of the great Amerigo of her name
She had come to this country from
Paris and speedily enlisted in her
cause, the merits of which do not seem
to be very sound at this time, the two
most famous members of the Van
Buren, family-the former president of
the United States and his son John,
who was best known through his So
cial graces at the time, though he was
the attorney general of New York in
the years 1856. Under what circum-
stdnCeb sue leit FdTis, WHERE she naQ
resided all her life up to that time,
is not definitely known. although 1t is
believed that she accompanied one of
the two Van Burens to the United
States. But there is no question of
the fact that John Van Buren, looked
after her closely for the first few years
she was in this country, and that he
made scant impression on congress
with her claims. There is also no
doubt that she travelled about with
him. 1t was one of these journeys
that she first met George Parish and
fell in love with him. as he did with
her.

grown tired Of her. This son of the
former president Of the United States

ish for possession of the famous Nine.
Vespucci.
This particular novelist shows a
fondness, uncommon in American liter
allure, for dwelling on the political ad-
venturess-a type that has not been so
common in the history of political
leaders in this country as II has been
n the lives Of statesmen and rulers of
Europe. Such woman was the prin-
cipal character in his second novel,
and to the limited few who keep alive
In their memories the story of Nine.
Vespucci's career In America 1t was
perfectly plain that she was the proto-
type of the novelist's heroine. And
now, In HIS third book, as II in revela-
tion of how strong a grip this fascinat-
ing woman's career and personality
have on him, the novelist tells the lit
tie known tale of how she once was
the stake In a game of cards between
two men, one of whom was not as ex-
Allied a parsonage as the novelist
heads his readers to believe.
The incident that makes one of the
characters In this last historical novel
tell the story Of the game of cards
played for Nine. vespuccis favor is
proposal that this parsonage, a state
senator of Missouri In the SOS OF the
last century. makes to a captain in
the United States army that they too.
shall play a game of poker for the tenn
porary possession Of the heroine Of
this tale. whom the senator believes
TO be .'the same kind Of a woman" as
Nine. vespucci was The captain does
not understand the full meaning of the
senator's proposal. and to this the man
from Missouri replies:
The Precedent.
Come, now. You, as an army man,
ought to know something Of the his
tory Of poker In these United States.
Listen. my friend. Do you recall a
certain game played by a man higher

then? Do you recall that the man
