Her lips curved In friendly smile.
But she made diminishing gesture

"Oh. I'm all right: Higgins told me

eggs, nuts, potatoes, meats, fish,

BOB EVANS A son OF THE SOUTH

The death of Admiral Evans, so
kidely known as Fighting Bob"-a
title, by the way, which he is said to
have personally detested-has revived
many interesting anecdotes of one OF
the most unique characters the Amer
lean navy has produced
Born Virginian, in the naval acad-
emy at the breaking out of the war,
Evans. like many other Southern men,
threw in his destinies with the Union.
He came of good Southern fighting
stock, it is said, and certainly his ca
reer would justify the statement While
the South would have preferred that
such men as he had stood with 1t IN
the struggle, it can feel proud that
this son of Virginia acquitted himself
braveIy in the Civil War and ever
after. There is no blot on the escutch-
con of Evans, and Virginia has long
ago pardoned the sense of duty that
lead him to stay with the old flag.
At Fort Fisher Evans was shot three
times, one bullet passing through the
knee and disabling him Wounded in
both legs, the doctors decided to am
putate them. Overhearing the decision
Evans got his pistol and threatened to
kill the first man who tried the job. He
saved the legs but went on crutcheS
and was dismissed from the navy. De-
termined to get back into service he
had his leg broken by surgeons, the
defect remedied, and although he ever
after limped he secured the passage OF
a bill reinstating him in the navy. "A
man like that cannot be kept down. 1t
is no wonder that Evans died an Ad-
miral of the navy. 1t is no wonder the
South feels proud that he was son
