CHAPTER II.
The Fourth Floor Back.


Capt. Robert Sower had never been
called a drawing-room soldier, and this
in spite Of the fact that he had many
detractors. When he was in town he
kept open house, and it became gradu-
ally a custom to such of his comrades
as were in the vicinity to congregate
in the luxuriously appointed smoking
room. smoke his cigars and drink his
wine
On the evening when Capt. Desire
Arnaud entered the softly lighted
apartment four men were seated round
the card-table smoking and chatting
apparently taking their game none too
seriously. Sower himself stood by the
log fire warming his hands and ex-
changing desultory remarks with
man whom the indefnable something
stamped as civilian. AS Arnaud's
name was announced Sower turned
round and advanced with hospital
extended hand.

passed over the elderly man by the
fireside. and the latter made no move
to repair the omission. Arnaud glanced
at him curiously, and then came over
to the fire.
Sower laughed and shrugged his
shoulders; and then, as though dis
missing the subject. You're late.
Where have you come from?"
From the Omneys. Miss Omney is
very charming he said.
"And wealthy. Am I to congratu-

Arnaud put his hand to his little fair
mustache, but he did not answer di-
rectly. though his smile might have
counted as an answer.

form of government. Owing to delays
of various kinds, such as difficulties OF
travel, ETC., members of the First con-
gress were very slow to assemble in
New York, and quorum OF both
houses was not obtained until April 6.
The counting of the electoral vote, the
notification of Washington, and his
Journey from Mount Vernon to New

auguration was set for April 80 His
term of office was, however, construed
as having commenced on March 4, the
date set by the Continental congress
for the inauguration of the new gov

March 4. 1898, although it lacked
nearly two months of the four years
