short time later, she died, presum-
ably of broken heart. One roman
tic version of the story has it that
she took an overdose of laudunum
and was found dead with a keep
sake of her lover clutched in her
hand. Whatever the cause OF her
death, Buchanan apparently was
crushed by his blighted romance
and took vow never to marry.
In 1882 Buchanan was appointed
minister to Russia and he is credit
ed with having made the first Amer
lean commercial treaty with that
country. Upon his return, he was
elected to the United States senate
and, twice reelected, he served
there until 1845 when he was named
secretary of state in the cabinet OF
President James K. Polk. In 1853
President Franklin Pierce appointed
him minister to Great Britain. He
was accompanied TO London by his
favorite niece, Harriet Lane, whom
he had adopted after the death Of
her parents and upon whom he
laVished all the love that had been
thwarted by his loss of Ann Cole
man.
BY the time he returned from Eng
land in 1856, the Democratic party
was badly split over the slavery is
sue and eager for a CONFRONT Use
candidate. They found one in Bu-
chanan and in the campaign Of 1865
he was elected over Gen. John c.
Fremont, the nominee of the new
Republican party.
Buchanan was statesman OF the
old school, who, according to one
historian, could make a good cam
paign speech, laying stress upon the
unimportant and glancing at impor-
tant matters evasiVely, solemnly
and impressively." So it is not sur
prising that he should have avoided
any decisive action when the seces-
sion crisis came. But despite that
fact, when he left office on March 4,
1861, il was clearly apparent that
what he once called "disunion, that
worst and last of all political calami.
ties" was inevitable. Buchanan died
June /, 1868, but he lived long
enough 10 see aVerted mat very dis
union which he had feared and hac
done so little to prevent.
Harriet Lane was Buchanan's Of
fetal hostess during his stay in thu
White House and helped him enter
tain the prince Of Wales when h,
visited this country in 1850 Year
later the Golden Beauty OF tn,
White House." now Mrs. Elliot
Johnson, a widow, received a spe
cial invitation to go to London ant
see the prince crowned King Ed
ward VII of England. Before he
death in 1903 she left a fund o
100000 for a statue OF her uncle II
Washington. II was unveiled b.
President Hoover in 1923.

gripped at armpits and legs to tell
him the parachute had fed safely
out. Above the rush of air he could
hear the plane roaring on its way.
There came to him moments envy
of the pilot who would flash back
along the friendly route to a safe
landing at Albright Field.
The moon had not yet risen, but
the capitals masses were outlined
in myriad light clusters, which told
Benning the American air service
was still too busy at home to strike

He freed himself of straps, and
rolled and secreted the silken chute
Half an hours brisk walk brought
him to the dark little Gale del No
gal, which told him he had landed
to the north of Chapultepec. He
found sleepy cabman to drive him
direct to Jesus Maria.
Benning's plan was set as he
reached the street on which he had
lived with Mile. Ducos.
There was light in the little Du-
cos apartment when he reached
there shortly after one O'Clock. He
