side his wife and child in his first
peaceful sleep after four war-filled
years. Suddenly the old-fashioned
knocker on the front door chartered
loudly. The servants at the end of the
hall slept on bu. the alarm brought
the trained soldier to his feet at once
An exchange Of low-toned question
and answer at the door and he came
back into the bedroom.

As the captain turned up the light

mask under the tan. his eyes wide with
horror. She sat up in bed. afraid.
Joe, what is IT."
The captains breath came hard and
he labored over the words:
"-Lincoln-shot-"
Five minutes later he was mounted
and away to his command. On Penn

horse ridden by the escaping murderer
Booth had hardly died away behind
the capitol
So fast spread the tragic news.
In Ford's rheater.
In Ford's theater on Tenth street
the nightmare caused by the fatal
shot was followed by confused action.
The only two men who seemed to
know what they we're doing were the
assassin Booth and Major Rathbone,
whom Booth wounded in escaping.

accompanies the exhibit. The skull ID
that of an old tribal chief of the Phil
ippine islands, who was murdered for.
ty years ago by Guanu. a Suriago
chief. for stealing one Of the latter's
wives. Guanu kept the skull a.
trophy until his death. when 1t was
placed upon Guanu's grave as tomb
stone. An orchid took root and a.

guarded by the natives who thought
the orchid was the spirit Of their chief.

through the village saw the freak and
stole It from the natives and sent It
to a florist of Rutherford. N. J. Note
how the expansion Of the roots has
