rights. Henceforth he was sole own
ar of the estate; an estate which had
been in the family since its acquisi-
ton by grant in 1910, and which re-
NAMED in the family until sold in
1858 by John Augustine Washington
to the Ladies Mount Vernon as
ISOLATION.
These facts, which shed some inter-
esting light on the early history of
Mount Vernon, were obtained by Mr..
Callahan after constant study of the
old official records of the courts and
vestry books of the counties in this
part of Virginia. They establish be-
yond all doubt the truth which is that
the central part of the Mount Vernon
mansion was built by General Wash
ington's father, that General Washing
ton lived there for two years when a
baby, and that his father built what
is now the most conspicuous landmark
on the place-the old barn.
Visitors to Mount Vernon during the
past few months have had opportunity
to witness the interesting work Of re-
roofing Washington's old home, the
historic mansion wherein he died. 1t
is learned that this is the fourth time
the roof has been shingled, the other
dates being 1912, 1855 and 1860. In
each instance the material selected and
used was the best cypress shingles.
A short historical review of the con-
I -ft an1 nltnFaf of this old
dwelling may be worth notice, as few
among the many visitors happen upon
information on the subject. The CEN
trail portion of the present building was
erected in 1923 for Maj. Lawrence
Washington, who named it the Mount
Vernon VILLA" out of respect for Adj
miral Edward Vernon of the British
navy, under whom he had been serving
in South America. This modest cot
tage, or villa, consisted Of four rooms
on the ground floor, with bedrooms
and an unfinished attic above.
At the death of Lawrence Washing
ton, 1852. the property fell to the own
ership of his half-brother, George, who,
In 1775, added to the attractlveness of
the interior by paneling the hall and
MS ting the ceilings of the parlOr and
dining room decorated in stucco.
After the revolution Washington's in
creased fame attracted to Mount Yer
non such a horde of guests 1t was
found a difficult problem TO entertain
them comfortably in the limited num-
Der of rooms at his disposal.
At first General Washington thought
Of tearing down the old building and
erecting a more pretentious dwelling
Of suitable proportions to meet the re-
Quirements, but he finally decided TO
enlarge the cottage.

REAR VIEW OF HISTORIC MOUNT VERNON.

This he did in 1856, by adding a
spacious banquet hall at one end and
Il library and bedroom at the other.
The pitch of the room was changed
and dormer windows arranged to-
make the attic available for sleeping
apartments, these improvements result
ing in an 1Sroom house, which there
after was dignified by the term IMAM
sion" In changing the roof a large
quantity of the original shingles (of
1743), though considerably weather
worn on the exposed surfaces, were
found good enough TO use again by
turning them over. This evidence OF
WashingtOn's resourcefulness has re-
Gently come to light by the temporary
uncOvering of portion of the east
portico roof, which for the better she'd
ding Of rain, had been slightly changed
in 1860, revealing a few courses of the
shingles of 1743 and 1885. These
mute reminders of the past are now
again sealed from view and so pro-
tected as to remain intact as long as
the mansion shall endure.
When the Mount Vernon Ladies' as
ISOLATION came into possession of the
homestead the mansion was empty.
Unceasing effort has been and is be-
ing made to recover the original
things, but they are widely acattered
and held by people who are reluctant
to give them up. From time to time,
however, some of the old pieces are Of
fered for sale, but as a general rule,
the prices asked are almost prohibi-
tive. The government purchased a
number of Washington relics many
years ago. Among the present collec-
ton at Mount Vernon are many pieces
of furniture of contempOraneous inter-
est which have been accepted tempo
rarily to ill vacancies in the various
rooms, but as rapidly as original Wash
ington articles are secured the nom
original are eliminated.
Until recently the owners have had
nothing definite to guide them respect-
ing what the rooms formerly con-
tanned, but there has now been found
the inventory made by the appraisers
Of Washington's effects shortly after
he died. This important document will
be of inestimable assistance in accu-
rately refurnishing the mansion.
Studying Mount Vernon from the
viewpoint of casual visitor, 1t is
difficult to conceive of a more charm

CHAPTER XIX.
The Story Begina

In the little stone courthouse On That
Sabbath morning a hundred voices
were lifted in the stirring music of
Giardini's triumphal hymn. The peo-
pie of the countryside had gathered to
give thanks to God for the victory over
their savage foes. The vigor of the
chant swelled in a stern strength which
was made beautiful by the rough voices
of the pioneers. In the little room the
hymn echoed with the majesty of u
cathedral chant:
Come thou Almighty King,
Help us thy name 10 sing,
Help me to praise!
Father! all glorious,
Ger all victorious,
Come and reign over us,
Ancient of days!
David felt himself thrill In every
nerve; his wife's hand trembled In his
and he knew that, like himself, she
felt the mighty glory of life and love,
of trial undergone, of good triumphant
over i'll, of yearnings toward the inef-
fable. Tears of happiness stood in his
