But history lMJ oes nt e've nim 'u" credit I for his Kreatness. lie was much greater thnu most of as suspect. Bo far as I know, George Washington was the only man In history who con quered a powerful nation while he was asleep. Napoleon Bonaparte was a great soldier, and his blogrnphers tell ns that he slept only Ave hours a day Yet on that five hours' sleep he con quered Europe, nr.d If he had got up a little earlier In the morning he might not huve fallen down at Waterloo. But George Washington went to the other extreme. He slept nil the time IS NEW IjONDON THKT BHOYKD MB. He slept twenty-four hours a day. He never did anything but sleep. Ho never woke up. And yet he whipped tho British to a stand and deliver point. It is true that it took him 'seven or eight years to do ll, but even that was a most prodigious feat for a sleep walker. If he could do that well as a BonniHinbullst, Just think what ho might have done had he been gifted with chronic Insomnia! The first town 1 visited in search of Bights in one of tho thirteen original packages of our government was in New Jersey Morrlstown, I believe it was and I asked tho depot agent If there were any historical relics in town. Ills face lighted up like the business sldo of n dark lantern in edi tion do luxe, and he replied, with warm enthusiasm and great town pride: "Yes, Indeed. There's tho house where George Washington slept. Come right along and I'll show it to you." I saw tho man was anxious lest somebody else should be the llrst to show me the house where George Washington slept, and so 1 went along with him and saw the house where George Washington slept. Not long after that I went down to Freehold, the town where the battle of Monmouth was fought and where Molly I'ltcher fought her only pitched battle, and the llrst place they showed me was the house where George Wash ington slept. Later I visited Trenton, where Washington crossed the Delaware in his Bleep and I crossed tho Delaware on a bridge and saw the house where George Washington slept. I began to think that the entire late of New Jersey must have been George Washington's bedroom. I won dered if George hung his nightshirt on Bandy Hook and did all of his sleep ing in New Jersey; if ho always walk ed Into that state at bedtime In his sleep and went to bed. It looked that way. But I soon found out that George had a large number of state bedrooms. New Jersey was only ono of un elab orate suit of Washlugtonlnn bedcham bers, each of which was us big ns all outdoors. I hud occasion to go to New London. Conn., and the first house 1 saw there was the house where George Wash ington Blept. They took me in and showed mo George's bedroom. They hudu't made uu. the. bed sLnca Ge.ori:e Washington slept in It. I ran over to Hartford to look for the charter oak and ran up against the house where George Washington slept. Down at New ITaven I saw the house where George Washington slept. At Waterbury, where they make the watches and watch the makers, 1 saw the house where George Washington slept, and they told rae that ho used a Waterbury watch for an alarm clock. Its ticks were so loud that the bedtlck said it was no usa for it to wear striped clothes, I crossed over Into Rhode Island and stopped at Providence, where the proud nntives showed mo the house where George Washington slept. I told them that his sleeping there must have been nn act of providence. They mado me leave town after that, and I went up to Newport and saw tho house where George Washington slept, Ithodo Island Is not much of a state for size, It's close to riymoutli rock, but it Isn't any bigger than a banty hen In tho shell compared to other states, and so It didn't take George very long to sleep all over that state, und afler being shown the house where George Washington slept in two or three oilier Rhode Island towns I made n trip to Springfield, Mass,, which Is named after the Springfield rifle, and saw the house where George Washington slept. In Cambridge I wanted to see the Washington elm, under which Wash ington took command of the nrmy, but they showed nie the house where George Washington slept. Theu 1 went out to Concord to see tho homo of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "COMK ALONG, AND I'LL B1I0W IT TO TOO." und they showed mo the house where Georgo Wnshiugtou slept After that I made a trip to Lexing ton, where By tlie rmle brlilso that arched the flood, Their Hun to April's liroozo unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And tired the shot heard round the world. I wanted to see that rudo bridge that arched the tlood, but they took me across the bridge without telling me what bridge It was and showed me. tho house where George Washington Blept. By that time I wns beginning to get a little sleepy and tired myself, so I concluded to go up Into the Green Mountain country of Vermont and let tho mountain nlr wake me up. For self protection I pinned a large plac ard on my back reading: Yes, I'm From Missouri, but DON'T Show Mo But 1 stopped at Bennington, tho town where General John Stark re marked that If he didn't whip the British before 7 p. m. Mary Stark would collect his life insurance, and they showed me-tlie house where George Washington slept. I got out of Vermont as fast as I could niul went to Portsmouth, X. H., to see If the port could keep its mouth shut about George Washington, but they up and told me that if I tlidu't get out of town on the next train they would show me the house where George Washington slept. 1 got out and went straight back ro New York city without asking for any Btop over privileges, and that night 1 slept, and the next morning I met a friend of mine who had lately re moved U. New York from Pike coun it i i ty, SIo.;"' aiid "wils stTir seeing the sights. He Invited me to go up Into the Harlem neighborhood with him and see some sights, and I went, and if f'-4Kt S l WAS BEGINNING TO GET A LIT'H.h Sl-EKl'V MYSELF. he showed me the house w.':; ie George Washington slept. He told me 1 was from Missouri and he had-to show me. After I got out of the hospital 1 re ceived a letter from a friend of mine who lives nt Valley Forge, Pa. He said I needed country air and the rural sights and scenes and invited me to come dowu and spend a month with him and recuperate. I was about to accept this !;ind invitation, but upon reflection 1 remembered that George Washington used to live at Valley Forge, and I knew that if I went out there I would see the house where George Washington slept. So I wrote my friend that I had died the week before of Washington on the brain and was burled under the house where Georgo Washington slept, and I stayed In New York. Nobody has ever shown mo n house where George Washington woke up. ys lm frortMissoun.

And that Is why I say, All honor to George Washington!

ND so you want to marry m? niece?" said Jeremiah Parrish Irritably. "Yes, sir," said Peter El more, looking Into the old man's black yes with a clear, direct glance. "And you are a lawyer? Remember, please, that my niece has become en gaged to you while on a visit to the lty and, although she has known you ror several years, you are a compar ative stratifer to me. Now, you are lawyer! I hope you are a good one." The young man winced under the cool arrogance In Mr. Parrish 's CLARISSA MACKIE. harsh voice, but he mere'j smiled as he answered, "I hope to i -"ve to you some day that 1 am, sir." "Oh, yon do, eh? Perhaps I will give you an opportunity now. Yon may be able to solve the mystery of our guest chamber!" "Oh, Uncle Jerry, that is not fair!" cried Mildred reproachfully from her seat near the fire. "Peter is a lawyer not a detective! No one ever solved it, and remember how many people have tried In the last IuhkU'ihI years." Mildred rose and leaned against the high back of her lover's chair. Elmore had not spoken. His keeu blue eyes werqjjjed ,pu the, forbidding ! w MEN. HENRY L&&. countenance of Sefemiab Parrisn, and he noted a cunning little smile lurking about the thin lips. "Perhaps Mr. Parrish will give nie an opportunity of proving myself," he said lightly. "Just now I do not rec ollect ever having heard of the Wash ington room In your house." "Oh, Geotge Washington slept there once the winter the army suffered a alley Forge. My great-great-grand mother was sewing carpet rag with her black servant when the two wo men heard the sound of horses' hoofs on the frozen ground. Always fearful of the coming of the British, my an cestress hastily gathered her store of silver teaspoons and several hundred pound notes and told black Mirandy to secrete them, while she answered the thundering knock which reverber ated through the house. "To her relief, it was General Wash lngton and several of his aids, who requested shelter for the night. In the temporary absence of her husband she bade them welcome, and, delighted at the honor, she hastened to set her best before them. "She found black Mirandy cowering foolishly in a corner of the best room and half dead from fright. The worn an could not recollect what she had done with the spoons or with the banknotes, and to this day their dis appearance is a mystery. "The great general slept In the best room that night, and ever since then the room, with its contents, has been regarded as a state apartment. Wash ington was much Interested in the dis appearance of the treasures, and It is said that on the night of the 22d of February he is often seen about the apartment searching hither and thith er for the heirlooms which Mirandy hid nway." "Perhaps you will permit me to sleep in that room tonight," suggested EI more carelessly. "Certainly," responded his host grimly. "I will go at once and give instructions to have the bed aired and thoroughly warmed." When he bad departed Mildred re sumed her low seat near the Are, and Elmore dropped on an ottoman beside her. The girl's sweet face was very grave as she slipped her hand In her lover's broad palm. "I wish Uncle Jerry had not told you about the room," she said earnestly "So many have tried to solve the mys tery, and, while none of them will tell their actual experience, there is always an es trangement with Uncle Jerry aft- er ward. He hates lawyers- why I don't know and If he can humiliate one he is de lighted. Except on that one sub ject he is the dearest old man! So m etlmes I THE LIGHT FELL ON I11S 8TE11N PROFILE. wish George Washington had never Blept In the house!" Elmore laughed heartily, and he was reviving her drooping spirits when the door opened and Jeremiah Parrish ap peared holding a lighted candle in a silver candlestick. The light fell on his stern profile for one instant, and in that brief interval Elmore's keen eyes sharpened into points of flame. "In a hurry to go to bed?" he asked quizzically, "Eager to solve the , mystery and claim the reward," laughed Elmore. "Ah, yes! I have overlooked that. There must be a reward. If you find the treasure it Is yours for a wedding gift. If you are unsuccessful you will wait till Mildred is twenty-five, eh? Four years is not Jong vhen one is young!" "We will take the spoons, thank you, Mr. Parrish," returned Elmore coolly. "And now If you will show me to my room I will get down to business." He lingered a moment behind the elder man to make his farewells to his sweetheart, and then he followed the flickering candle down n dark pas sage that led to the old part of the rambling house, which dated back to early colonial days. Mr. Parrish threw open a low door, and they entered a large, low celled room with yellow painted floor, gay with rag rugs and with a roaring tire In the wide chimney. A huge four post bed with blue hangings stood In one corner, while other bulky pieces of ancient furniture crowded the spaces. Over the mantelpiece was a large life sized copy of the Stuart portrait of Washington. Elmore threw a quick glance around the room, and It paused where a large wicker hamper stood at the foot of the bed. "The original balls of carpet rags?" he asked, with n smile. Parrish nodded. "The women of the household have alwavs . preserved them from moths. But 1 am a bach elor, and Mildred seems to think It foolish to keep those things, so they are nil going." There was a tinge of melancholy in the old man's tone, which quickly changed to its usual sarcastic quality. "That door on the left, Elmore, opens Into n small modern bedroom. See? If you find your slumbers disturbed in here 1 shall not blame you If you seek more congenial quarters. My other guests have always done so." Elmore laughed as he unfastened his collar. "This Is the 22d of February, and it is also my birthday. Terhaps the fates will lie kind to me, and we shall need teaspoons, Mr. Pnrrish!" "Good luck to you," chuckled the older man as he closed the door be hind him.

A shadow blurred the corner by the mantel, and out Oi its gloom n pale figure came slowly across the room, passing close to the bed. tall and of manly form, in ancient dress of pale gray tint, with powdered hair tied back and thoughtful face just touched by the moonlight. Elmore braced himself and reached out a strong hand. There was a muf fled ejaculation, a brief struggle and the shade of a country's parent was (irmly tied by his conttalls to the bed post. A "towel bound his protesting hands, and his feet were simllnrly con fined. The strong light of several can dles revealed the perturbed coun tenauce of Jeremiah Parrish. His fleet ing resemblance to George Washington had disappeared. Elmore was pawing around in the hamper of rag balls, "if I had been black Mirandy," he panted ns he toss ed the balls at the feet of the patriot, "I would have hidden the spoons in the first thing at hand, which would have been the rags. Ah, this Is a heavy one and hastily wound!" With swift fin gers he pulled oiT the rotting strips of gay woolen and calico. Pres ently there was a gleam and a spoon the wedmno gift tinkled on the 13 floor, and then another and another until a dozen hud appeared, and at the rery end was a crumpled bunch of paper which unfolded into crisp Bank of England notes. Permit me, Mr. Parrish," said El more as he liberated the prisoner, "to restore to you your putrimony!" "I owe you and your profession an pology, Mr. Elmore Peter, 1 will say," saiil Jeremiah ranish whimsi cally. "1 mil somewhat ashamed of my ancestors that the mystery has not been unraveled before.
