Au revolr, my dear fellow." Halting at the closet door, the skel eton waved Its adieu and disappeared within. Gordon sat in his chair, deej in thought, while his cigar burned It self out between his Angers. At last he got up and shook his broad boulders as though freeing himself of a disagreeable burden. "Society has dared me," he mutter ed, "but I know my heart now, and I'll do as I please!" After Harry Gordon and Amy Hep burn had been married and had return ed from their honeymoon, Harry brought his bride upstairs to his old bachelor's den and seated her In a chair.

SEPT. 4-9, 16W. Philadelphia. August . 1899. There will be no trouble for the veterans who attend the S3d National Encamp ment of the Grand Armv of the Repub lic to be held in this city the first week in September, to find each other. The most complete system of registra tion ever adopted will be used, so that the comrades are sure of meeting and falling into each other a arms. By tne syBtem, a man may find where an old friend Is located In a few minutes, and this will be of the greatest importance to the veteran who comes to the city a stranger and alone. He may nave been in the city before, but he will now want to meet some of the men who were with him during his campaigns. Well, he'll find It easy to do this. What this man wants to know is what are the special Inducements for him to come to Philadelphia. He can get the information he needs without any loss of time. The way that is to be accomplished is this: The Registration Committee, of which Har ry L. Neall Is the head, have arranged 7000 receptacles, designating regiments, war vessels, etc.. giving accommoda tions for 150,000 names. What is wanted now is this: There are about 10.000 comrades In Philadel phia and 2500 In Camden, who are members of Posts and whose Regis tration will be obtained through the Post Adjutants. There are 2000 com rades ln the two cities who are not members of the Grand Army of the Re public, and they will also be regis tered, so that their old friends may be able to find them. Their names should be sent to the Headquarters of the G. A. R., Fifth and Chestnut Streets, or to the Registration Committee, Room I. City Hall. The comrade will thus find a Recep tion Committee aggregating fourteen thousand resident comrades, each of them ready and anxiously waiting to greet his old army associates. What that greeting will be. and what kindly attention will be shown the stranger, can only be known and appreciated by one who has performed a soldier's duty in time of war. and who has formed a soldier's friendship. The General Committee are exerting every effort to accomplish this end and the Registration committee are ousy registering the names of those who will be in attendance. The plan pursued Is to correspond with the organization, whether Posts or regimental associations', which have signified their intention of coming to the Encampment, ana rorwaramg io them sufficient cards at least ten days before the opening of the Encamp ment. The difficulty will, however, be to get the names of those who will come. The plan to be pursued outside of the city is to correspond with the organi zations, whether Posts or regimental associations, which have signified their Intention of coming to the Encamp ment, and forwarding- to them suffi cient cords at least ten days before the opening of the Encampment. The dif ficulty will be to get the names of those who will come Individually, and every comrade who reads this article should make up his mind that the nec essary part of his coming here is to be registered, or he win lose nair tne pleasures to be enjoved. Comrades, a royai welcome awaits you. Room 171. ln tne city nan, naa Deen fitted up by the Registration Commit tee for their use. These apartments are kept open day and night during the Encampment, and there will be numerous attendants so that every veteran can be given prompt attention. The main station of the committee having charge of the Bureau of Information will be In Broad Street just below Market and adjoin ing the building of the Third National Bank. The main Public Comfort Sta tion will be In ground floor apartments, on the east side of the City Hall. Ev ery accommodation will be proviJvKl for comrades and the membjrs of their families.
