Tho president looked very grave os ho alighted and turned to afolst Mrs. Wilcox from the carriage. Ills faco did not relax Into n smile to the salutations of those nearest tho carriage, but he 'acknowledged tho greetings silently and with an Inclination of the head. Word passed up the well-filled walk that tho pres ident had arrived and those waiting to gain t-ntranco fell bnck, making n narrow lane through which Mr. Roosevelt passed along to tho houfo. As the president passed within the house and the services were about to begin the long lino of soldiers and sailors swung In columns of fours Into Delaware avenue and formed lit battalion front along the beautiful thoroughfare opposite the houso Hnd Immediately facing It.

Only the thinness of his face bore rnuto testimony to the patient suffering ho had endured. Ho was dressed ns ho nlwnys was In life. Tho black frock coat was buttoned across tho breast where tho first bullet of the assassin had struck Tbo black string tie below tho standing collur showed the llttlo triangle of white sblrt. Tho right band lay by his side, tho left was across his body. He looked as millions of his countrymen havo seen him. savo for one thing. Tho llttlo badgo of tho Loyal Legion, tho only decoration he over wore, which wos In the left lapel of his coat was missing. And thoso who remarked It, spoke of It and after the body was taken to tho city hall the llttlo badge which ho prized through llfo wns placed again where It always had been. The body lay In u black casket on a black bearskin rug. Over tho lower limbs was Hung thn stairy banner ho loved so well. Tho flowers wero few, as befitted tho simple nature of the man A spray of white chrys anthemums, h flaming bunch of blood-red American beauty roses and a magnificent hunch of violets were on tho casket.

The friends and public associate! of the dead president all bad opportunity to view tho remains before the service began. The njembers of the cabinet had taken their leave before tho otners arrived. They re malned seated beside their dead chief while the sad procession viewed the body. Thev were on the north side of It. A place di rectly nt the head had beon reserved for Picsldent Roosevelt. Secretary Root sat alongside this empty chair. Then came Attorney General Knox, Secretary Long, Secretary Hitchcock, Secretary Wilson and Postmaster General Smith in the order named, About 100 In all saw tho body. Some wero so overcome with grief at the sight of the thin, placid countenance that their frames shook In convulsive sobs. Several clung to the sldo of, the bier and with diffi culty could bo purstrnded to leave. Almost every faco was tear-stained. The great love for this man choked all In the house.

Senator Hnnna, who fairly worshiped his dead friend for years, entered the room at this time, but did not approach the rnskct. Ills faco was set like nn Iron-willed man who would not let down tho barriers of nls grief. The senator spoke to no" one. Ills eyes were vacant.

Ho held himself erect, his left hand carrying his silk hat. Those who wero coming toward him fell back on cither side, to let him pass. Ho paused once or twice' to shake bands silently, but there was no smile to accompany his greetings. He too, llkn the man deep down In hl sent against tho wall who had forgotten to rise when the president of tho United States had .entered, seemed to be restraining a great .grlcf. When Pre sldent Roosevelt reached tho head of the lino of cabinet offi cers he kept his bead awn y from the cas ket. Tho Infantry guarding the dead stood before htm rigid os a statue, although the commander-in-chief approached until ho could hnve touched him, the soldier did not salute.

From the darkened rooms the assemblage began to file out to the street. Soon tho walks and the lawns were again covered with tho silent throng, with heads bared. At the moment the casket appeared "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as cended In subdued strains from one of th military bands. Tenderly the casket was lowered from shoulders and' plnccd in the hearse.
