Sir, and why do you ask that ques-
ton? Well, he said, 1 thought so for
Mr. Dorsey and the ladies here in the
house are always talking about you.
Mrs. Evelyn Dorsey Robinson, one
of the two highly accomplished daugh-
ters of Mr.. Dorsey, was the first mem
Der Of his household to come in con
tact with Us. for she spent several
months in this city last summer and
made many warm friends here during
her pleasant visit to it.
She informed Us that her father was
confined to his bed that day from the
effects of a severe cold and she re-
quested us to wait down in the parlor
until she ran up stairs and informed
her father that a friend Of his wanted
to see him. When we were finally
ushered into his bed room he was
completely overcome with great JOY
when he beheld US and for more than
two hours we sat by his bedside talk
ing over old friendships Of our young
er days.
Mr.. Dorsey said at that time, Il
know you are going to remain here
and visit with US over Sunday, SO that
we can have many Of our friends to
come in and meet you and make your
visit pleasant one" We very softly
exclaimed, that will be impossible for
Us to do as we had to be back to
Washington, ID. O., that same evening
in time to attend the grand ball and

rolled over the ties at a fearful rate
Of speed.
Sometimes il seemed that the cars
were endeavoring to run over the en-
gine and sometimes we thought that
the fast engine was endeavoring to
run over itself and several times we
felt as though the engine and the
whole train was flying right straight
through the air, for never in our life
before had we travelled on such fast
lightning train.
1t is ninety-one miles from New
York City to Philadelphia, and the
train ran that distance in ninety-one
minutes, rushing through such beauti-
full little cities as, Princeton, Trenton
and SO on without making one single
stop and after leaving New York City
at 8 o'clock A. NJ and at 9:31 o'clock
we were walking around the streets of
Old Philadelphia where we had spent
some Of our boyhood days.
Ten minutes after we had arrived in
the Quaker City we tumbled into
yellow cab headed for the house of
our old friend Of our boyhood days,
Mr. William H. Dorsey, 223 w. Penn
street. Germantown, Philadelphia. We
had not intimated to him nor to no
member Of his household that we ex-
pected to pay him a visit in the near
future or at any time, and when we
arrived in front Of his lovely home
we rushed out Of the taxi, ran up the
steps at break neck speed, the driver
following close behind with our lug
gage, and rang the door bell real hard.

said to him, does Mr.. Dorsey live

the writer was wide awake, up,
dressed, suit and grip sack packed and
already to start on our return trip

short stop off at Philadelphia, Pa,

In the meantime Mrs. Robinson was
astir and by half past six she had
breakfast all ready for US, but before
attempting to enjoy it she offered up a
word Of prayer and also blessed the
early morning meal and after it was
all finished Rev Robinson and Grand
ma, Mrs. Carrie Knight, just managed
to get up in time to bid US farewell
but it was so early that Miss Marjory
Robinson was unable to wake up and
make the grade and we will have to
forego the pleasure Of saying good-by
and how-do until we meet again.
Shortly after seven o'clock the yell
low cab was standing in front Of the
door waiting for US and ten or fifteen
minutes from that time we had ar
rived at the Pennsylvania passenger
station, Sind street and Seventh av-
enue, and we had no more than set
tied down in a seat on the Philadelphia
Express, which pulled out of the de-

struck eight o'clock, and the old en-
