He had only one near relative remaining on earth, a sister whose pecuniary-interestwere involved with his own in this new contest, us they had been in the other, but as she was married to a man of some mean- - he had not worried much un her account. Upon arriving in his native laud he learned Immediately of the death of his sister's husband. This did nut surprise him, love which his and tenderness fur the last news that he had received eyes.

It appeared, however, that the Charlotte pitied him too much to care husband's estate had vanished at his what he said. But Tyrrell with a pen was another nian. His arguments upon paper looked valid. They were as hard as if they had been written by the finger of fate upon a tablet of atone. Charlotte could not answer with a tear and a single love word at so great a distance. Hlie had to alt down all alone with hla letter and fight every word in It. Pile became angry with him, hofie-Icabout him, finally a little contemptuous of his weakness. And so at last the correspondence ceased, and the pretty promise they had made In one bright hour amid the long gloom was broken. , Tyrrell remained In England five years, and when he returned to America he did not know whether Charlotte waa dead or alive, whether she had married or Jilted the fellow who hod been a rival at the outset of their acquaintance, whether she had preserved her prettiness or had faded early. Hhe was nearing the calamitous age of thirty, that direful point upou the way of life where youth crashes down like a landslide and one looks back across a wilderness from which tha dream flowers that never bloomed and the beautiful trees that bore no fruit have all been swept sway.

HOWARD FIELDING Oipsripht, Mg, kg Chert mar be said of Charlotte Ware and Albert Tyrrell that they lost each other in the the dark-nedarkness of despondency. Seeing them together in the old days, one might have supposed that they were bound by au agreement to commit suicide instead of an engagement to marry. Charlotte was conducting the woman's page of a little, hopeless newspaper, and Tyrrell was practicing med trine. with mighty frw patients to practice it on. They used to lunch together in a gloomy restuurunt opposite the hospital, with which Tyrrell had an un remunerative connection, and Charlotte would describe the impending . bankruptcy of the newspaper, after which Tyrrell would tell about s patient who refused to recover or die or pay hla bill. Then they would discuss the folly of their own conduct In dwelling always upon melancholy topics, and of course that sort of thing always leads to an insincere attempt to be cheerful, which is much more ead than honest blue dev-H- a Ho they went from bad to worse, end each waa a millstone upon the other's neck, yet It Is worth mentioning that neither was originally of a despondent dispoaltioo. They released each other from the engagement about once a week, but that never made the slightest difference. Finally a man died In London and left Tyrrell a little money. There were legal complications, and It seemed advisable for him tq go across the water to defend hla rights. Of course he asked Charlotte to marry hi in, and aha came very near accepting, but upon a practical consideration of the subject they discovered lliat they hud not money enough between them to make the Journey In good style and be safe s gainst the chance of atrandlug in London in case the payment of the legacy ahould ba deferred, aa seemed quite likely. Ho Tyrrell crossed the ocean alone, a ml sometimes he looked out over the stern with regret, and. again, he looked out over the bow with apprehension, while the slow steamer plodded through sluggish waves to make her port at last in a drhwllng rain. The legacy waa Involved In labyrinthine complications, but his lawyers es W. Bonkf were confident of ultimate success. They proved this confidence by advancing from time to time small sums which sufficed for a bare living, and Tyrrell stuck to the quest. By and by be began to practice medicine, and, though ho gained some small repute, he made no pecuniary success. When his earnings were fair he invested the money in his own lawsuit; when they were meager he managed to live upon them. Meanwhile, of course, be had released Charlotte from her engagement in the bluest letter that ever crossed the ocean.

"Bert Tyrrell!' cried the voice for the fourth time, and almost In his ear. He turned and stared at two line horses glittering In silver mounted harness. and then at a liveried coachman and Anally at a very charming woman In an open carriage. "Lottie!" he said in a dosed tone. Lottie!" Hhe surveyed him with an amused and qulxxical smila "You haven't changed a.bit." said sha The words affected dim with surprise, first, because he fancied himself grown old and haggard, nnd. second, because Charlotte herself whs so' radically different that the sight of her seemed to change all the world. Yet he could not have expressed his feeling; she looked no older; she had not gained flesh, as pretty girls are distressingly apt to da ''Get la" ahe said. "We must have n good talk while .1 take you wherever you're going." He smiled grimly. T waa going to the station," he said, "but If you know of an old man's home or a rice, well managed asylum" ''Now. that's the same Bert Tyrrell whom 1 used to know," eaid she, with a laugh. "I shall correct that habit In ubout five minutes. Get In. As he climbed to a seat beside her laboriously, like a man of sixty, she gave the couchman the word "home." Then for the itrst time the elegante of the equipage and the simple magnificence of Charlotte's attire impressed themselves upon hlin. The blood fled away from hla heart and tingled In his ears. "Really." he stammered, "I I have had no news. I don't know what to call able suburb. you." Tall me Lottie," she replied, and utter the word cheerfully. You're not altogether sorry to have met roe, please you know. He made a melancholy effort to smile. "Fairly good," said she, but you can do better. Try again. "You ask too much of me," he protested. "Not at ail!" she cried. "1 fought that problem all out with myself nearly five years ago. One may always be cheerful." He swept a slow, melancholy glance over the elegant interim- - of the carriage, Iwhlch at that moment swerved from tlie road and passed through a stately arched gateway. A house was visible through the vistas of old trees one of those cliarnilngly extended and Irregular houses with verandas, bu Iconics and plenteous adornment of vines and flowering shrubs. "In such surroundings, said he sadly, "even I might smile."' "Your surroundings do not matter In Ihe least," she retorted. "The smile must come from within." "I remember that you used to write that sort of nonsense for your woman's page," said he, "but you never believed It. "I believe it thoroughly today," she the true conviction came to-answered frently. but it replied. "Yes, yes," said he as the carriage been before I made any before the main entrance.

Curiosity, of course, prompted an investigation. One of the angry trees was dug up and thrown to one side. Immediately upon being removed from tlie ground the tree opened Its leaves.

June IS and IS, 1771. when Washington broke camp at Valley Forge, WHEN I', ; GENERAL VON STEUBEN. r miles northwest of Philadelphia, to start in pursuit of the British. The British army under Sir Henry Clinton had been catnited during the winter at Philadelphia. There was no telegraph or railways in those days, end Ihe British army gut quite sway from Philadelphia before Washington heard of It In the early morning of June lh. He at once began to break camp and prepare to march after Kir Henry Clinton, saying. "We shall proceed toward Jersey and govern ourselves according to circumstances." Of course an army can scarcely pak Up and leave in one day a camp where it has lived for months. Part of the troops Blurted on the march June It, the test June 19. Thus there are two Valley Forge days. June 18 and 19. It Is believed that Washington himself left Valley Forge the 19th. so that day twenty-fou- (s considered by seine the proper one to celebrate. This June 19 is the one hundred and twenty-sixt- h anniversary of the day. We need to fix that date In our minds because the leaving of Valley Forge by the patriot army marked a great change for the better In the prospects of the colonies alruggllng for Independence. That winter st Valley Forge was certainly the darkest period in the history of Washington and his soldiers. They had been marching about for four months without gaining sny advantage over the British when they entered Valley Forge to make their winter quartern They reached it Dec. 19.

The Noguchi eeium is VALLEY ton at Valley Forge. He arrived there Feb. 23. 1778. The baron saw at a glance that the patriot troops lucked not only food arid clothing, but knowledge of military training us well, though they were brave as the bravest. Immediately gallant Von Steuben began to drill the American troops as soldiers were drilled and disciplined In Ihe best armies of Europe. Day after day he put them through their steps and movements. Finally In May the brave Xtaron vnu Steuben was made a major general in tlie American army and appointed its official Instructor general. So well did General von Steuben put In tlie time that by June 18. 1878. when the army got orders to evacuate Valley, Forge and go after the British, (hey went not us straggling troops. Ignorant of military drill, but as a reorganised. thoroughly disciplined army, solid and resistless. Thus the time that was fullest of suffering for the Revolutionary army and seemed to the patriots the most nearly hopeless of any during the whole war was only a period In which ihe soldiers were themselves to win victories.

Numbers of them were actually barefoot In the dead of winter, and their feet were crocked and bleeding from the cold and the rough ground. At times there waa nearly a famine In their camp. We can hardly believe surh a thing now. yet the wealthy farmers who lived thereabout were nearly all on the side of England and against Washington and the patriot cause. When Washington's men went among them to gel food they were sometimes attacked with shotguns. Yet through it all Washington's faith and determination never once felled him.
