HISTORIC SPOT IS UNMARKED
Location Of Nations First White
House, in Philadelphia, Known,
but That 10 All.

Excepting for few months. Wash
ington lived in Philadelphia during
his entire administrations as presi-
dent of the United States, and John
Adams did likewise during his term.
There was no White House. but a
brick house, and. as quite generally
known, It stood on the south side Of
Market street between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The house itself long
since disappeared, and it seems
strange that Philadelphia has never
taken the trouble to make in a suit
able way the spot where the nations
executive mansion stood when occcu-
pied by the Father of His Country.
When Washington came to Phila-
delphia to attend the continental con-
gress before taking command of the
army, he lived in the SWEETEST board
ing house in the city. II was kept by

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Enemy Triumphs.

inc enemy iTiGTnpnss
Old Mrs. Jefferson would long ago
have struck blow against Grace Noir
had she not recognized the fact that
when one like Grace wears the helmet
of beauty and breastplate of youth, the
darts of the very angles OF justice,
who are neither beautiful nor young,
are turned aside. Helplessly Mrs. JEFF
ferson had watched and waited and
now, behold! there was no more Drag
| on. Fran had said she would do it
nothing could have exceeded the con.
fidence OF the old lady to the new sec
rotary.
| Mrs. Gregory's sense OF relief was
not so profound as her mothers, be-
cause she could not think Of Grace's
absence except as a reprieve. Surely
she would return-but the present was
| to be placidly enjoyed. Grace was
gone. Mrs. Gregory's smile once more
reminded Fran of the others half-for-
gotten youth. When a board has lain
too long on the ground, one finds. on
its removed, that the grass is withered
all the same, the grass feels the sun
shine.
Fran thanked herself that Grace was
no longer silhouetted against the hori-
zon, and Gregory, remarking this atti-
! tude OF self-congratulation, was thrown
| more than ever out of sympathy with
his daughter. Fran was indefatigable
| in her duties as secretary, but her
father felt that it was not the same.
| She could turn out an immense
amount OF work because she was
strong and playing for high stakes
but she did not have Graces method
! ical ways-one never knew how Fran
would do anything, only that she would
dc it. Grace was all method, but more
than that she was as Gregory phrased
Ii TO himself-she was all Grace.
Gregory missed her every minute OF
the day, and the harder Fran tried to
! fill her place, the more he resented II.
Fran was separated from his sympa-
thies by the chasm in his own soul.
The time came when Gregory felt
that he must see Grace again aud be
alone with her At first, he had
thought they must not meet apart
from the world; but by the end OF
the week, he was wondering what ex-
cuse he could offer TO induce her to
meet him-not at Miss Sapphira's,
where she now boarded, not at the
grocery where Bob was always hover
ing about-but somewhere remote,
somewhere safe. where they might
talk about-but he had no idea Of the
conversation that might ensue; there
was nothing definite in anything save
his fixed thought OF being with her.
AS to any harm, there could be none.
He had so long regarded Grace as the
best woman in the world, that even
after the day Of kisses, his mind con-
tinued in it's inertia of faith-even the
gravitation of material facts was UNI
able to check its sublime course.

The First Victory.

The First Victory.
When Grace re-entered the parlor,
to find Hamilton Gregory alone. her
eyes were full of reproach without
tenderness. AS she came straight
toward him, an open letter in her
hand, his body grew erect. and his
brown eyes, losing their glazed light,
burned from the depths.
Read it," Grace said, in a thin.
brittle voice.
In taking the letter, Gregory touched
her hand. With recaptured alertness,
he held the missive to the light, and
read:
MY Dear Miss Noir:
This is to officially offer you the
position OF bookkeeper at my grocery
store, now that Hamilton Gregory has
decided to make Fran his secretary.
Come over early in the morning and
everything will be arranged to your
satisfaction. l am,

Gregory looked up, and marked
the fxedness OF her gaze. 1t seemed
Charlevoix county herald., 1913-09-27

to call upon him to avenge an insult.
He could only buster, Who brought
this thing here?" He flung the note
upon the table.
"A messenger" Grace's look did
not waver.
"The impudence." he exclaimed.
The affront!"
However" said Grace, Il presume
it is final that l am dismissed"
But his unseemly haste in sending
this note-it's infamous, that's what
