Although tho encampment is several weeks off, ono veteran is already hero The first arrival is Henry T. Walch, who walked every step of the wy from hi home in Michigan to Washington, push ing in front of him a wheelbarrow iu which he had his luggage. Mr. Walcli was determined to get here and to bo iu ample timo. On the first of last month bo left his home, Mount Pleasant, M (',':-., and reached Washington On -Aug. 'i, having been forty-three days in making tbe trip. When lie left home the enth e town turned out and bade him godspeed, the connty band accompanying him for the first few miles, followed by an im mense throng. There will be many features of inter est at this great encampment, but none will attract more attention from xu general public than the reproduction ot the old man-or-war Kearsargo. Reunions will be held upon the twe decks of the ship, and the ex-sailors can see and touch 'the very sternpost of the original Kearsurgo, where an unex ploded shell lies buried in tbe wood They can muse on what would hmv been their probable fate if this ugly look ing mass of Iron had exploded under the stern ot the old craft on that day of bat tle.

Slio shuddered, and burying her face Iu the pillows wept afresh. In sympathy the surgeon could not forbear to rest his hand soothingly upon thu hot head of his tear ful patient. "Nuver mind," he whispered cncotinig Ingly. "A coik foot Is not so bad." Presently her sobs ceaseil anil she turned her face to the light with a suggestion of hope. "Can I dance with n cork footf" she asked eagerly. "Only say I can dance with It. Oh, I so lovu to dance. Don't break my heart by snylng that I cannot dance." Sliu looked anxiously Into his kindly face. 8ho saw thero tho crushing denial that sympathetic lips would not utter. Heartsick slin moaned miserably. "Poor girl!"
