from the sill to peer down into the

Long ago her visitor would have
reached Damory Court. She had a.
vision of him wandering. candle in
hand, through the empty echoing
rooms, looking at the voiceless por-
traits on the walls, thinking perhaps
of his father, of the fatal duel of
which he had never known. She liked
the way he had spoken of his father!
Or maybe he was sitting in the
lonely library with some volume
from its shelves on his knees. She
pictured Uncle Jefferson fetching his

derives its name. Rialto. from Rive

city expanded it continued to be the

Mr.. Bancroft's long service in pub
lie life as cabinet officer and foreign
minister tended somewhat to sepa-
rate him from Mr.. Emerson, who was
solely occupied with lecturing, which
was his means of livelihood; with his
writings and in contemplative study
in his attractive place in Concord.
AS Mr.. Emerson grew older he
gradually abandoned much Of his lit
erary work, and some fifteen years
before his death gave up the habit
which he had followed from his early
manhood of writing not so much
diary as a daily commonplace book
in which he set down thoughts that
might be available for his lectures or
his books.
1t was my privilege to meet and
chat with Bancroft when he was well
past so years of age. He took me
through his beautiful rose garden in
Washington and described his roses,
not so much with the scientific en-
thusiasm of a horticulturist as with
the passionate admiration for the
beauty and the-different phases OF
beauty which the flowers revealed TO
him.
Mr.. Bancroft said TO me, as we
walked through his garden, that IN
his roses and in his daily horseoack
rides he built up his mental and
physical strength so that he was
able to do each day with ease what
he found necessary to do for the COM
pletion of his monumental history OF
the United States.

i ton, when in the company OF severa
gentlemen, what my delightful ex'
nerience with the historian had been
and I spoke of the fact that he hae
outlived Mr.. Emerson by nine years
and that his mental and physica
vigor were not greatly impaired un-
ri lust before his death, while tbs
case was different with Emerson.
"There was an extraordinary sim
ilarity between Mr.. Bancroft ane
