Roy askd. "No; quite the contrary- - I have only known her a few weeks." "Do you mean to tell me you were not acquainted with Miss Neville two winters ago?" demanded Roy.

Roy watched her as she moved away, his love lighting his face, unconscious that angry eyes were watching him. Just outside the window sat a girl with scowling brow and clenched hands. She had fifeard that passionate whisper, and the knowledge that the man she adored had given his love to another roused in her the wildest fury. "Marry her; I should like to see you!" .she muttered.

One woman, fair as a poet's dream, has so commingled these men's lives that it is impossible to think of one without recalling the other also.

But withal he was a man of peace, and when the war was done he began the less exciting; work of conducting a boat to and fro through the Erie canal. This occupation being much more in the spirit of the times, it gave unto Christian much contentment, and he took unto himself a wife, and twelve years later removed his goods and chat tels to McHenry county, in the state of Illinois. In the sixtieth year of the present century he took up his abode on the farm where he afterward died. Eleven of his children mourned at his grave, and his other descendants numbered forty-tw- o grandchildren and thirty-fou- r; great-grandchildr- en. Sure- ly, with such a record he could afford to die.. He was always a democrat and voted for Andrew Jackson for the ofUce of supreme governor of the country of which he was so proud and for which he had done much. Another there is who has attained unto the age of 100 years. Yea, it Is now nine years since he became the age of a century, and he is yet possessed of the powers of his younger days. His name Is Greene, the first name being William, and he lives in Portland,' the sain e being in Indiana. Mr. Greene claims to have been born in Pennsylvania, near the city of Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 1767, thus making him 109 years bid his next birthday. He remembers well when his family moved toOhio to settle on a tract of land which once belonged to . General George Washington, being part of the 20,000 acres he had acquired by government patents previous to the revolutionary war. His parents settled in Trumbull county, moved from there to Butler county, and finally went to Indiana at the close of Jackson's term for president. Mr. Greene served under William Henry Harrison at the battle of Tippecanoe. Concerning the war of 1812 he is confused, and in an interview said: "There was no war of 1812. The battle of Tippecanoe was fought on the morn ing of Nov. 7, 1811. I remember it well. I was a private under my uncle, Cap tain Davis." In the course of his remarks Nhe described the attack of the Indian chief I - years, strength sorrow: for It is soon cut off and we fly away." And we can bear witness and testify that we have seen this rule verified in Its exceptions and its truth made plain; for even now there live In our land yea, In our own state, and those near unto us those who have attained unto five score years, and can yet shave themselves, split their own kindling and read without the aid of glasses that do magnify. And their hearing is like unto that of the man' who worketh long in the fields arid listens for the sound of the horn that calls to the board. Arid the sight of their eyes Is like unto that of the man who sees the springtime approaching when the winter snow melts in the warm sunshine of a winter's noon. And the step of their feet is as firm as that of the Infantryman who marches to the beat of the drum on his nation's birthday. And their memory runneth back to the time when the wolves made sport even at the door of the cabin,1 and the birds of the air sang merrily and were not afraid. And these things are they, and they bear witness to many things which" to our ears seem strange. One there was whose name was Conrad and his first name, Christian, Is an earnest of his birthright. He lived In same In Iowa, and Dubuque, the being he was the oldest man in that state. In Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, was he born, in the eightieth year of the past century, and his youth was passed in the verdant fields of his father's farm and under the broad brows of his much beloved mountains. His age was one score years and ten. when he heard of a war that was being waged on land and water for the sake of his country's honor. His heart was fired, and he left the bid house and his fond parents to do service in the cause of his country, his duty talcing him to the frontier near the great falls of the Niagara.

At the same time a soldier fired and both shots struck the Indian. He is mistaken, however, in regard to the shots proving fatal, as Tecumseh was not killed until two years later. Mr. Greene is the father of nineteen children, the oldest living one being 75. He is tall, slightly stooped, wears clothes and heavy boots.
