MET DEATH AS
y BRAVE SOLDIER
Last of Fighting Washingtons"
Killed in SkirmiSh of
Civil War.
SERVED UNDER GENERAL LEE
Col. John Augustine Washington, vir-
einian, "Went With His State"
and Breathed His Last in
Historic Gray Uniform.

n EOUNT VERNON, Virginia,
1--WE the former home of George
I'VE and Martha Washington, and
the most interesting mansion
in the United States, has had contin-
uous interesting history connected
with it, aside from the associations
with the first president of the United
States and the first of the first ladies
of the land.
Colonel Washington, who had be-
come proprietor of the paternal es-
tates on the Rappahannock, acquired
the magnificent domain of Mount Yer
non upon the death of the widow OF
his half brother, Lawrence Washing
ton, and shortly after his marriage he
began to occupy it and it was his home
up to the time of his death.
Upon the death of Martha Wash
ington, on May %, 1902, about 1000
acres of the Mount Vernon estate, in
Guiding the mansion, were inherited
by Judge Bushrod Washington, the
third child of John Augustine Wash
ington. Judge Washington was jus
tice of the Supreme court of the Unit
ed States, and took up his residence at
Mount Vernon, where he dispensed a
liberal hospitality and kept intact his
inherited landed estate to the time of
his death.
Judge Washington had no children,
and following the example of his il
lustriOus uncle, he provided for his
wife during her lifetime, and then
disposed of his estate to his nephews
and nieces, giving specific directions
and leaving the mansion house and
Mount Vernon farm proper, with re-
stricted bounds, to his nephew, John
Augustine Washington, and Mount
Vernon was inherited by this Johns
son of the same name, from whom
the home and 200 acres were purchased
in 1856 by the society which now con-
, trolls it and cares for it.
The work of obtaining the necessary
funds-$200,O00-for the purchase was
started by Miss Pamela Cunningham
| of South Carolina, who became the
first regent. The vice regents each
appointed state committees and the
money raised was nearly all in dOll..r
subscriptions. The greatest amount
of money raised by any individual was
the profits accruing from the lectures
on Washington delivered in most OF
the large cities by Edward Everett.
The last private owner of Mount
Vernon was Col John Augustine
Washington. On the breaking out OF
hOstilities between the states, Colonel
Washington became a volunteer aid
with the rank of colonel, on the staff
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and was killed
September 10, 1861, while conducting
a reconnaissance on the turnpike along
Elk Water river, Randolph county
West Virginia.

guessed it might be some old love let
ter from Will Chandler.
Myra's tough little heart suddenly
melted-was this evening a repetition
OF many other eRdings of st. Valen-
tines day? Had Ella Flagg hoped
each year that she would receive some
message from her absent lover?
And then the full realization of the
misery she had caused brought a
dreadful feeling of wretchedness to
her heart.
81 must tell her." decided Myra sud-
denly; 81 must tell her about the let
tiers have kept back-and when he
comes after her, must tell him, too,
and must help her get ready for
her wedding-it's my punishment
Softly she opened the door and went
inside.
When Will Chandler came home to
claim Ella Flag for his bride, people
marveled that Myra Watts appeared as
Elias maid of honor, and they could
not understand what had healed the
breach between the old friends.
Myra might have told you that it
was a bundle of suppressed letters
and valentines which Ella Flag had
burned that memorable night when
Myra made confession of her wrongdo-
ing; but she kept her secret, and so
did Ella, and VIII Chandler refused
to listen to her story because he was
so glad and eager to hold Ella in his
arms again.
And when another valentine day
came around Myra sorted the mail,
quickly, deity, and in another spirit.
When at last she came to a large en-
bossed envelope postmarked Cali
fornia, where Will and Ella were liv-
ing with old Mrs. Flagg, a beautiful
color suffused her dark face.
"Come out here and live with u.s.
wrote Ella on the back Of the valen-
tine they sent. "Will knows of a
splendid position for you, and it is
summer all the time in California"
Myra went, and she says it is sum-
mer all the time in her heart, too, ever
since that night when she unburdened
it to her friend and brought happiness
to three sorrowing souls.

For one, "our father for all time"
Plain, unadorned, immaculate,

This peerless pile of solid stone
Is not a sphinx, nor yet a tomb;
