eraged. Anyone who owned a trunk

When I began my marine paint
ing at Frogport the graft had been SO
thoroughly advertised that cots had
to be placed in every available niche
Of the Salvation Army to accommodate
the army of eligibles.
The City Editor.
The city editor of the Piccolo
had worn journalistic groove from
B1ddeford, Maine, to San Diego, Cali
fornia, with a breakover beginning
at Palatka, Florida, and terminating
at Blaine, Wash. Sometimes he used
his shirtfront as an assignment book
and his hair was more than 26 ems
long. His unwavering financial in
efficiency was remarkable.
Jim Gait, who did police and
society, probably had exasperated
more city editors and pestered more
business office cashiers than there
are flaws in Josephus Daniels naval
policy. He and I roomed together
until I had to divorce him. He be-
came so light-fingered that 1 had to
sleep on my pawn tickets.
Jack Leggat, who covered the
courthouse and politics, was surely
the most forgetful fellow who ever
had his copy chopped. His cunning
tower was so full of other and ire
levant things that he couldn't re-
member if anyone owed him money.
The boss feet became a little frosty |
when Jack made the paper say that
Sherlff johnson, whom we were sup
porting for reelection, couldn't catch
cold in an icehouse, but when Leg
gat got a story saying that the lead
ing society women of Frogport had
eaten a can of caviar, thinking it was
blackberry jam, Jack had $50" en-
Dossed all over him with the toe of
the boss boot and he was again
turned loose on a cheerless world.
The last we heard Of him he was
driving milk wagon at Centralia.
Steamboat Rivalry.
But let us get to the finale. The
Little Muddy river, which moistens,
one edge of Frogport, was sparsely
populated with steamers of the stern
wheel variety. The flash packets on
the Muddy were the Cleopatra, Is
tons seven dwt. burthen; and the
of similar size, which was
built more like piano box than a
gazelle. There was intense rivalry
between the captains of these boats,
which eliminated in ARRANGEMENTS
for race from jamestown to Frog
port, distance of eight miles. News
Of the contest spread through the
town and soon there was nothing of
tangible value that was not wagered
On the result.
The captain of the Gazelle and
Bill Swift, owner of the Piccolo, were
great friends, and as that boats
wheel possessed six more paddles
than the Cleopatra, Bill had the craft
doped SO strong to win that he wag-
cred the cylinder press against the
Cleopatra that the Gazelle would
romp home ahead. The protes,a-

l suppose that very few casual
readers Of the New York Herald of
August 18th observed, in an obscure
corner, among the Deaths" the an.
nOuncement:
"NOLAN. Died, on board q. s. Cor
vette Levant, Lat. % II" S., Long. 1917
W., on the 18th of May, Philip Nolan"
; happened to observe it, because
was stranded at the old Mission
.louse in Mackinac, waiting for Lake
Superior steamer which did not choose
to come, and I was devouring, to the
very stubble, all the current literature
l could get hold of, even down to the
deaths and marriages in the Herald"
My memory for names and people is
good, and the reader will see, as he
goes on, that I had reason enough to
remember Philip Nolan. There are
hundreds of readers who would have
paused at that announcement, if the
officer OF the Levant who reported it
had chosen to make it thus: "Died,
May 18th, The Man without q Coun-
try" For it was as 1.-The Man with
had generally been known by the Off
GERS who had him in charge during
some fifty years, as, indeed, by all
the men who had sailed under them.
l dare say there is many man who
has taken wine with him once fort
night, in a three years cruise, who
never knew that his name was mo
\ lan," or whether the poor wretch had
any name at all.
There can now be no possible harm
In telling this poor creatures story.
Reason enough there has been till
now, ever since Madisons administra-
ton went out in 1917, for very strict
secrecy, the secrecy Of honor itself,
among the gentlemen of the navy who
have had Nolan in successive charge.
And certainly it speaks we'll for the es-
prit de corps of the profession and the
personal honor of its members, that to
the press this mans story has been
wholly unknown, and. think. to the

soul. From that time. though he did
not yet know it, he lived as "A Man
without a Country"
What Burr meant to do I know no
more than you, dear reader. It Is none
of our business just now. Only, when
the grand catastrophe came, and JET.

that day undertook to break on the
wheel all the possible Oarences of the
then House Of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond, some Of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from US than
Puget Sound is today, introduced the
like novelty on their provincial stage,
and, to while away the monotony of
the summer at Fort Adams, got up, for
spectacles, q string of court-martials
on the officers there. One and anoth-

there was evidence enough, that he
was sick Of the service, had been will
Ing to be false to it, and would have
obeyed any order to march anywhither
with anyone who would follow him,
had the order only been signed, by
command Of His Exc. A. Burr" The
courts dragged on. The big flies es-
capped, rightly for all know. Nolan
was proved guilty enough, as I say;

Of him, reader, but that, when the

I suppose he did not know how the
words shocked old Colonel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Half the
officers who sat in it had served
through the Revolution, and their
lives, not to say their necks, had been
risked for the very idea which he so

country at large also.
I have reason to think, from some
Investigations I made in the naval
archives when I was attached to the
bureau Of construction, that every Of
fetal report relating to him was burned
when Ross burned the public buildings
at Washington. One of the fuckers,
or possibly one Of the Watsons, had
Nolan in charge at the end of the war;
and when, on returning from his cruise,
he reported at Washington to one of
the Crowninshields- was in the
navy department when he came home
he found that the department ig-
nored the whole business. Whether
they really knew nothing about it, or
whether it was non mi icordo, de-
termined on as piece Of policy, do
not know. But this 1 do know, that
since 1917, and possibly before, no
naval officer has mentioned Nolan In
bis report Of a cruise.
AS I say, there is no need for Sc
crecy any longer. And now the poor
creature is dead, it seems to me worth
while to tell little Of his story, by
way Of showing young Americans Of
today what it is to be
A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.
Philip Nolan was as fine young
officer as there was in the Legion of
the West" as the western division of
our army was then called. When
Aaron Burr made his first dashing ex-
petition down to New Orleans in 1905,
at Fort Massac, or somewhere above
on the river, he met, as the devil
would have it, this gay, dashing, bright
young fellow, at some dinner party,
I think. Burr marked him, talked to
him, walked with him, took him day
or two's voyage in his flatboat, and,
in short, fascinated him. For the next
year barrack life was very tame to
poor Nolan. He occasionally availed
of the permission the great man had
given him to write to him. Long, high
worded, stilted letters the poor boy
wrote and re-wrote and copied. But
never line did he have in reply from
the gay deceiyer. The other boys in
the garrison sneered at him, because
he sacrificed in this unrequited affec-
ton for politician the time which
they devoted to Monongahela, sledge,
and high-low-jack. Bourbon, euchre
and poker were still unknown. But
one day Nolan had his revenge. This
time Burr came down the river. not az
an attorney seeking a place for his
office, but as a disguised conqueror.
He had defeated know not how many
district attorneys; he had dined at ]
know not how many public dinners he
had been heralded in know not how
many Weekly Arguses; and it was ru.
mored that he had an army behind him
and an empire before him. 1t was a
great day-his arrival-to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out in his
skiff, to show him a cane-brake or q
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him; and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
