Mrs. Washington Interrupted them as she "popped In" with these cheery words: "Now don't get tired out. We shall have a little dancing after din ner." It was a memorable day in the lives of the young lovers. They sat long, reciting the summer history and discussing their plans. They dined with General and Mrs. Washington and k stood erect looking- at "Oh, the cruelty of war! How 1 Ut t0 yon going 1 But I must try to be as brave as yoa are. I could throw myself down and weep bnt I ill not I will stand up straight and k'k at yoo as If I had a heart of Ua stoue. Then I shall think of your courage and with the Lord's help I will try io imitate It." When he left, the setting sun ws shining on her face and form. The picture and her words were being branded upon his memory, as he drove down Into the deep shadowed valley here night was falling. He felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness. "The war may go on for years, or many years." he muttered, "and any day we may move or I may be sent to some distant place." When he returned Washington and the staff were In a conference. He went into the library to sit down and recall the enchantment he had felt there. The night was chilly and a fire was blazing In the grate. Lady Washington found him alone a dejected figure gazing into the fire. "My boy." she said, "let me look into your face. Yes, I thought so. I know right well how you feel. Tts been to Sorrowtown myself. Ton need to tve cheered up." She rang the bell and sat down beside him with her knitting. When the servant came she ordered supper to be brought to the young man with tea and a pint of claret Sitting in her armchair she told him s stories of her girlhood and in remote Virginia and by and by sent him away to bed cheered and refreshed by her motherly kindness. The next day he went back to his News of his exploit had company. traveled through the camp. To his surprise he soon learned that he was probably the most popular man In the regiment Within a week a company which had lost Its captain elected him to the place. Captain Famsworth said that the only way to punish a man like that was to kill him. It Beemed to be so. The New England brigades were In a falling spirit. Reorganization was under way. Officers about to be discharged were trying to dissuade their men from service. Colin, Amos and a band of strong-armefellows sought them out and gave them warning. Connecticut regiments would have no Massachusetts soldier In their ranks and those of Massachusetts would have neither Connecticut men nor Rhode Islanders. Colin was one of a committee of the brigades who endeavored to reconcile these rivalries hunnnd Jealousies. Only thirty-fiv- e dred men had enlisted for extended service, and they demanded fifty furloughs to the regiment. The gentleman of the iron will at general headquarters was in no way discouraged by the chaos that surrounded him. In Braddock's army he had found a deep y understanding of the first-love- d back-countr- home-lover- In At this time Colin writes his diary: Many of the The men are homesick and dejected.

The great cathedral was designed by a French architect, Richard de Montferrand, and was finished In 1858, after 39 years of labor, Ralph AY. Barnes, Moscow correspondent, tells us In the New York Herald Tribune. Built In the shape of a huge cross, and crowned by an enormous gilded dome 31'0 feet high, It Is made chiefly of Finnish red granite and marble. The main entrances form four porticos, modeled on the Pantheon at Rome. The church cost $12,000,000, and is famous both for Its rich Interior dee- orations and for Its impressive fa eade.
