    SEALED ORDERS.
In the tender light of each new day's
dawn in a
A white-robed angel the order brings,
And thon, O Soul, in the silence awaken
ing Heareth the rush of the plumed wings.
Sealed with the seal of the Christ are the j
. orders;
No eyes save thine may the message
read,
That places thee where, in thy Captain's
judgment.
Of faithful serviee lie hath most need.
Oft times thou readest the one word "On
' ward!"
Though steep be the path and held by
the,
Though hope and courage alike have fail
ed thee
And darker and blacker the heavens
grow.
Oft times when the hot blood, leaping,
surging,
Urges thee on with relentless hand.
While others are storming the enemy's
fortress,
There comet h to thee the order,
"Stand!"
Stand and wait in the place appointed,
Though other troopers go galloping
past:
Patiently wait, for thy Captain knoweth
That waiting shall win the day at last.
Oft there are inarches long and weary
When the sun beats down with pitiless
heat,
And solemn vigils when through the dark
ness
Thou treadest the sentry's lonely beat.
But always and ever each soldier know
elh
The Captain Himself hath served in
the ranks
Hath borne the burden on weary
marches
Hath watched alone by the river banks,
Knoweth that inch by inch lie conquered
Learning I lis army's inmost iiwiIk,
While marching across the enemy's conn

Where now His forces Ho safely leads,
Sealed with the seal of the Christ are the
orders
The angel brines at the dawn of day,
Take them. O Soul, without doubt or
question,
Fearlessly tread the appointed way;
For nearer and nearer, the jeweled bas

Of heaven gleam brightly through the
mists of space,
And His "Well-done" shall be thy guer

Who was standing at the telephone.
She was a very pretty woman and
licr dainty gown of linen, with its touch
of green ribbon here and there, became
lier exceedingly, as did her hat, a mass
or sweet pens and green gauze, set well
forward on her blonde head.
Just now she was a bit out of it iiiimt.
"Express USUI," she culled Impatiently.
Ami as she waited for the desired num
ber she tinned ami looked at Virginia,
who, qulle overcome by Uie Ileal or
was It for some other reason bail seat
ed herself at no great distance oil' and
was wielding a palm leaf fan em rgetl

to the 'phone In response to a call. "Is
this Kxprcss 2N M?" she said.
"It is Ityron's number," Virginia mut
tered to herself. "I thought so."
The woman at the 'plume spoke
ngaln:
This Is Mr. Curtis. Is It not?" Vir

"Yes, I am Miss Cleavebrook," con

Then, "Yes, please."

Miss Cloavobrook Interrupted her

took on a more tender 'one. "Sana

laugh. "Pld you? I'm so glad. Thank
so much for the dowers. You really
mustn't send them so often. It's too
extravagant of you."
Virginia gave a Utile stint. 'Theater

Clcnvelnook doubtliigiy. "I really
think twice a week Is too often."
Hut the man wllh whom she was
talking seemed to overcome her sent
pies, and after agreeing to go with hlai
on Friday evening of that week she
raid:
"Why don't you ask me why I called
voti 1111?" Then, seeming to forget that
she was In a public place, she laughed
merrllv at the response that iiuno back
over the 'phone, Finally she said
"No, it wasn't that. I want very
much to see that book of 'After Pinner
Speeches' you spoke of. Can't you
bring It to me this evening? No? Well,
to-morrow, then. hat are you pom
to do tonight?"
The fair questioner seemed but little
pleased at the answer she received.
She tapped her foot impatiently, and
It was a full minute before she spoke.
Virginia fancied she heard Byron
paying: "I am going to call on Miss
Allen to-night." For had he not asked
if lie might come over to see her Tues
day? Miss Cleavebrook recovered her tem
per, if indeed she had lost it, and said:
'1 thought I told you to drop that?"
Virginia rose hurriedly and walked
to the front of the store. "It is insup
portable," she muttered to lierseir.
She speaks as if she owned lnni
when
Her thoughts overcame her as the
memory of all that hail happened be
tween her and Byron Curtis rushed to
her mind.
The sharp ring of the little bell re
called her to herself and she looked up
to see Miss Cleavebrook leave the store
and go slowly down the street with a
happy smile dimpling her pretty lace.
Virginia took an impulsive step to
ward the telonhone. heedless ot tlie
clerk who stood behind the counter and
who began to g-ze at her rather curiously.
Ho need not come to see me, she
thought fiercely. "He would rather be
with her." Her voice nearly chokeil
her as she answered, "Express 2804,"
to the inevitable, "Number, please!"
The moments which followed were
agony to her. Her thoughts ran wild.
It was only last week that he told me
that he cared for me and I was to have
answered him to-night. Why why did
I care so much?"
"Hello!" sounded a man's voice over
the 'phone, and then, before she could
spenk, "Is this you again, Louise?"
Virginia's face paled; then she flush
ed painfully. Had she been mistaken?
It had never occurred to her that an
other man could have answered to Ex
press 2S04.
She made an effort to control her
voter. "I mn Miss Allen. 1 wish to
spouk to Mr. Curtis."
"Mr. Curtis left the ollice, madam, at
2 o'clock.. 1 am his partner, Mr. Col
way. Can I do anything for you?"
"Thank you, no," replied Virginia.
Mr. Cohvay wondered as lie hung up
the receiver at the glad change iu the
girl's voice.
Miss Allen!" he soliloquized. By
Jove! I didn't know It had gone so rar.
Her voice sounded as If site might be
pretty. If 1 am to believe Curtis ou
the subject of the young woman's
charms, lie Is in great good luck, but
I'll bet she can't touch Lou."
The glad change In Virginia's voice
was noticed also by another man a
man who stood by the cigar counter
watching the girl with his whole soul In
his eyes.
Virginia turned from the 'phone witn
a happy feeling of thankfulness that
was almost a pain. The man who nan
been watching her stepped quickly to
ward her.
"Byron!" she said, with a little glad
crv. holding out both hands to lilm.
"Virginia." he answered, "It Is Tues

"Yes," she said softly, "It Is Tiles

CRADLE OF A FAMOUS FAMILY.
The Celebrated Harrison Homestead
Down in Old Virginia.
The Berkeley home of the Harrison
family of Virginia is one of the inter
esting landmarks of the nation. It has
been a birthplace of a governor of
Virginia and signer of the Declaration
of Independence; of a revolutionary
general and of a President of the Uni
ted States. The estate is mentioned
In coHmial annals as long ago as. 1022,
when It was the scene of a terrible In
dian massacre. It was then owned by
a prominent settler, George Thorpe,
who was killed during the uprising by
an Indian whom he had befriended.
Berkeley soon afterward passed into
the hands of Benjamin Harrison. His

Alfred Poncaster had loved the beau

Berkeley is an unpretending building
to have been the home of so many
great men. The house Is of brick, two
stories and a half high, with a quaint
sloping roof and dormer windows. A
modem porch has been added to two
sides of the structure In recent years.
To one room in Berkeley pertains es
pecial interest. When the hero of Tip
pecanoe, Gen. William Henry Harri
son, was elected to the Presidency he
left his Ohio home and came to his
birthplace, Berkeley, to write his in
augural address "in his mother's
room."
During the civil war Berkeley was
known iu the North ns Harrison's
Landing. It was occupied by Gen.
McClellnn after his "change of base,"
July, 18(12, and was the place to which
he retreated and fortified himself after
the battle of Malvern Hill, the last of
the seven days' battles.
GO-WAN-GO MOHAWK.
The Noted American Indian Actress
Who Has Won Distinction Abroad. .
Go-Wan-go Mohawk, says a writer In
the Puritan, Is an American Indian
woman who has recently attracted at
tention 011 the English stage. She is
a daughter of the chief Ga-ue-qua,
known to Americans as Dr. Allen Mo
hawk. She was born at Gowanda, N.
Y., on the Cattaraugus reservation, is
a descendant of the old and famous
chief Bed Jacket, and belongs to the
Six Nations. That she should have
won success in a play of her own crea
tion, esneclnllv ill conservative En

some of the waste pipes have sprung a

It is understood that this secret room
Is the only part of the building re
tained for the Comptroller after an
effort on his part several years ago to
secure quarters iu the County Court
house. The difficulty, as explained to
the writer by Justice Van Brunt some
time ago, arose through Comptroller
Andrew II. Green insisting that he had
the right to take possession of quarters
in the County Court House under au
thority of the Commissioner of Public
Works, in whose charge are the mu
nicipal buildings. The Comptroller
was partly Installed before the Justices
of the Supreme Court got into action.
He wanted the lower floor oil the west
side of the building, chiefly the part
now used ns docket clerks' rooms.
"We told him," said the Justice, "that
the State had subscribed something
like .$200,000 for the building, and that
