too If you can conceive my relief
from the mental anguish Into which. I
had been suddenly precipitated when
upon the second rending through
blinding tears. It was "John Brayan."
The realization at first that Abileno
was to bo denied tho fruits of tho Btntc
senntorshlp was too much for 1110.
A little Incident occurred on' a. tour
at the iionltontlury. As a group of
fifteen . were walking along near the
lower tier of colls a voice from an
upper cell was responded to by tho
guard. It was n life convict for mur-
dor never allowed outsldo his cell. Ho
paid "Stop a minute; I want to give
the girl with tho whlto straw lint on
n presont" In a few seconds an ob-
ject tho tiniest little pair of leather
shoes his own handiwork was caught
by tho guard. Ho seemed pleased when
told that ho had favored a Texas girl.
In our sight seeing pllgrlmago none
was1 of more Interest than our visit to
the Hermitage. A picnic party of
twelve visited that heroic spot. As you.
enter the hall which Is wldo and com-
.modlous at first glanco you notice the
pjctorlol wall paper ordered from Par-
Is by General Jackson when tho houso
wns rebuilt lit i83G. It was shipped
by way of New Orleans up tho Missis-
sippi and Cumberland rlvors. It rep-
resents tlie legend of tho travels of'
Telemachus in .search ot Ills father
and Is that part ot tho story of lils
landing on the Island of Calyopse.
The first sceuo Is tho landing and the
Queen advancing to meet him. Tho
second scene Is tho story .of Telemach-
us relating the story of his travels to
Cnlyopse. The third scene Is Cnlyopso'
giving a fete In his honor when Cupid
begins to play a part Tho fourth
scene Telemachus resolves to. escape
and the maidens of Cillyopsb. burn his
boats and ho Jumps from tho cliffs.
