TT was a busy evening for all of us
stationed at the White House,
and 1 was not sorry when I was dis
missed with instructions to get some
rest as soon as possible, because l
might be needed later on. This or
der, like all others, was instantly
obeyed. I went out to the barracks
of the Black Horse Troop, dropped
into my bed, and Immediately fell
sound asleep.
The next thing I knew was being
awakened by a colored messenger
from the White Houes. who shook
me by the shoulder. saying respect
fully:
please open yuh eyes, sub! Please
wake up! The President says for
you to saddle his hawse and youah
own, and repoht at once by the big
front dooh."
Before the darkey ceased speaking
sprang out of bed, clapped on my
cap, and was on the way to the sta
bles. At the main entrance of the
White House I saw Mr. Lincoln come
down the broad steps.
1t was warm September night
and he had on the Army slouch hat
he often wore, although he has SO
frequently been pictured in tall
hat of the old-fashioned stovepipe
kind that nowadays a good many
people think he invariably wore such
headgear.
Strangely enough. also, people
seem to think he was awkward, un-
calmly. even clumsy. But he was not.
And that night he swung up into the
saddle with the ease and unconscious
grace of cavalryman. The mo-
ment he was seated I sprang upon
my own mount and followed him
down the curving driveway out Of
the White House grounds and then
to the left in Pennsylvania avenue.
1t was shortly before midnight.
The streets were poorly lighted and
only an occasional passer-by could be
seen. Excepting for the clash of
steel-shod hoofs on the cobblestones,
not a sound could be heard.
For a few moment I rode on be-
hind Mr.. Lincoln, as was proper; gaz-
Ing at hia tall form sitting SO easily,
SO erect, and wondering whether any
human being--eyen such a marvel of
strength as he--could~continu in
definitely to carry the terrible weight
that was laid upon his shoulders.
Here he was, perfectly calm after
spending hours studying that stream
of dispatches telling of the battle of
Antietam. Yet so critical was the
situation that he felt 1t necessary,
late as 1t was, to hasten for a con-
sultation with Halleck, general in
command of all the armies of the
United States.
HALLECK was living in High
street, Georgetown. and used his
residence as military headquarters.
Ordinarily the President would have
sent for him to come to the White
House, but this would have meant
dispatching a summons by messen-
ger and time would be lost. 1t was
quicker to mount horse and ride
direct to Halleck.
The emergency must be very grave
indeed. I thought, to cause this un-
usual procedure, and I was wonder

authors Of several comedy successes,
will be the Offering of the Berkell
Players at EngHsh's next week.
The fun starts through the chance
meeting of a young married man, and
a muchly married actress, followed by
a marital misunderstanding that
threatens to wreck a happy home
Billy MofTat, a New Yorker, makes the
acquaintance of Trfxie Lorraine through
an act of courtesy on the observation
platform of a Pullman car.
He quickly discovers that Trixie is
married to a friend Of his, but that
they are living apart. Billy generously
offers his services in bringing about a
reconciliation, and as further evidence
of his friendly interest agrees to have
Trixie's broken wrist watch repaired
For this purpose he pockets it-and
then forgets all about 1t.
The watch is discovered by Billy's
wife when he reaches home and ex-
plantations are in order. Billy's story
might have passed muster were it not
for the fact that his sister, had, with
out his knowing it, been a witness to
his meeting with Trixle.
To pour oil on the troubled waters
Billy arranges to take his wife on a
trip, and to rent their apartment furn-
lshed during their absence. The task
of finding a suitable tenant is en-
trusted to his wife's brother who
rents it to none other than Trixie Lor-
aine. This brings about further com
plications that keep the fun moving at
a rapid pace. The Pullman car set
used in the prologue is one of the
most unique ever devised for the
stage. embracing a novel illusion
effect.
