TAKE no shame In the pride with which I write of my grandfather, Lionel Carvel, Esq., of Carvel Hull, n his lordship's province of Maryland, ilbelt he favored his majesty. He was 10 palavering turneout like my uncle 3rnfton, whom I knew for a great ascal who had been banished to Ids state In Kent county for saying In iny jraudfathers presence that my mother lad not been fit to marry a Carvel But If Grafton was a shadow on iny loyhood, there was also a great light. iud tills was Mistress Dorothy Maulers, my constant playmate. Dorothy bloomed early, and too soon lecame a great beauty, with ull our Innapolls macaronis at her feet. Thnnks to her foppish father, Mr. Vlnminduke Manners, she gave me to tnovr thnt none but an English earl ould serve her for husband. My boyhood was passed In stirring :lmes. Twbb In the summer of 1765, nade memorable by the Stamp Act, that I first came Into touch with the leep-se- t feelings of the period, although I had already learnt from my Irlend, Mr. Henry Swain, a lawyer and I man of note among our patriots, the loctrlnes that were kindling righteous with 1'atty evolt My friendship 3waln, his daughter, had begun early, ind it was sbe who gave me heart to lope that Dorothy, for all her fine airs, itlll thought sometimes of her child-loosweethenrt.

Rut isnw that Grafton had triumphed ; and :o tell the troth It was no plensnnt :htng for me to set my face against :he king for whom my father had died. About this time Dorothys wish wns 'utfllled and she went to London. Soon Lord Coinyn arrived at Annapolis with lews that every macaroni In Loudon, Deluding himself, was In love with ler and that the Duke of Clmrtersea, i great rake, appeared to lead the ace. There was sadness In the pride this gave me; nevertheless, I was drawn to Lord Coniyn, a true man. I My grandfather declared I was an Imposter and had us hot b thrown into Jail. After three weeks rescue caine from, an unexpected quarter from Jack Coniyn, who brought Dorothy to meet tis at the prison gates. I wns overwhelmed. D"rolhy greeted me so warmly that I almost believed Coniyn and 1atty to have been rigid when me. they vmved that Dolly loved only Paid declared lie was an American, the compatriot of the beautiful Miss Manners. I was minded to go back to America at once and reward Iaul, but Coniyn would not hear to this, declaring that I alone could save Dolly from Charter-sea- . I knew that Coinyn, in telling 1 'orothy that I loved her, hud sacrificed himself. When I met Mr. Manners he declared that tie lmd not seen me on but I knew he the former oeea-hbed. As for Iaul. when he saw lmw the land lay. he gave us the slip and -ailed for America as captain of the Betsy bark. In the betting books of Whites and Brooks Is the record of much of my life In London, for I traveled In fast company. My friendship with Charles .Tames Fox Is a story In Itself. lie admired highly my defense of the colonies, although lie did not then openly etpouse otir enure. Fox warned me that Chnrtersen was plotting against me, and proof came when the duke wagered that I could not ride Baltimores horse Iollux, for Pollux wns a man killer. Nevertheless, I rode the beast, anil when Clmrtersea tried to follow me Pollux threw him Into the Thus foiled, Clmrtersea Serpentine. waylaid me nt Vatixhnll, and I knew that Manners laid helped to trap me. Coniyn came to my rescue and was wounded, but I wns unhurt. Manners showed his hand when ho brought me news thnt my grandfuther wns dead and Grafton was master of Carvel Hall. I struck him. Mr. Dlx was quick to tell me that I was penniless, hut Coniyn Insisted on offering his security for me. Then hack I went to Annapolis, to learn that my uncle had Intercepted my letters so that my grandfather had believed me dead. Henry Swain had been successful In business and he made me factor of his new estate. There I stayed until the dreary summer of 1771. when Liberty lost a friend by the death of Mr. Swain. Ills last wish was that I should marry Patty, but when I asked her to marry me she saw wlmt wns In my heart and asked me whether I loved her. And for thnt there wns no answer. But when I rode away to fight for my country she told me she would pray for me and for Dorothy. . At Annapolis, on my wny north, I received n great surprise. Learning that one .Tones hnd spoken bf me, I went to see him and found that it was John Paul himself, who had an estate In Virginia and wns hound for Philadelphia to lay before congress his plan for an American navy. How he succeeded Is known. I sniled with him, and, was with him In many of his great sen fights, the last being thnt of his Bon Ilomtne Richard against the Rcrnpls, In the North sen. This was the hottest buttle of all. and my last memory of It Is the sight of a naked seaman rushing nt me, pike In hand. I awoke. Where was I? What room was this? Who wns this coming to tend me? Who but Mammy Lucy, Dorothys old nurse, to tell me that I wns In London, In Mr. Manners house? Where wns Dolly? I wns to see her She soon, If the doctor permitted. camel The little room wns heaven, though I wns stretched on a bed of pain. Mrs. Manners nnswered my questions. Jones hnd contrived to let Dolly know I wns wounded and In hospital In Holland, and Comyn hnd brought me tn England. I learned also thnt my uncle had been deprived of bis estate for treaebery and flint Carvel llall was mine. And. now I was to lie smuggled out of England again. This time Fox played smuggler, nnd soon Dolly was to be my wife. But did I not love Patty? she asked me. I told her the truth. Dear Rlehnrd," Dolly said, I believe I have loved you all my life."

Roosevelt alone selected his successor. Naturally, everyone assumed that we were to have a Roosevelt administration by another name, and It was expected in the campaign that the would not go farther away from the White House than Oyster Bay. Instead, he plunged Into the depths of Africa. The fate of William Howard Taft wonld be pathetic If he himself had not met It and borne It with a smile. He was abler, more upright, more Independent than some far more successful presidents.

White House Is no place for a judge. of and governor As lawgiver Manila, Taft bad won the confidence of his oriental subjects, and rather than desert his post, before his task was finished, he sacrificed the dearest ambition of his life. In a year and a half Roosevelt had him In his cabinet os secretary of war and soon had him In his eye for the presidency. Roosevelt hnd the weakness of his strength. lie thought he was strong But enough to make a president. real presidents are born, not made. The moment Roosevelt was gone, the reactionary the stnndpntters, forces, emerged from their seven add one-hal- f years In the cyclone cellar. The moment the political broncho felt the tenderfoot on Its hack. It bucked, and threw Taft from the seat of leadership. The next thing the rank and file of Republicans knew, the party was slipping back Into the old rut from which Roosevelt hnd jerked it when first he laid upon It his masterful hnnd. But the people refused to co back. Eight months after Tafts Inauguration, the election of 1909 sounded a clear warning of the disaster that overwhelmed the party In the congressional election of 1910, and which all but destroyed It In the presidential election of 1912. According to a story that was told of Taft, a curious stranger asked a gatekeeper at the Union station In Washington where he would stand the hest chance of seeing the president In the few spare hours that he had between trains. Right where He's alyou are. was the reply. or a train either getting ways taking off of one. Taft was the first president to draw the present salary of $75,000. Congress had also adopted, two years before he came In, the custom of allowing $25,000 yearly for tho traveling expenses of the president, and lie became the grenf presidential traveler, making a record of 150, 000 miles In four years, as he went about that country appealing for a reversal of the verdict against his administration. In vain he strove to turn back the tide, which only sported with him. After having elected him by 1,200.- 000 plurality, the people parted with Taft more In sorrow than In anger, They did not question that he was a good president, but that Is a secondary A president must he consideration. first of all a politician and a leader.
