The Man Without
s== By EDWARD EVERETT HALE
ATOW, when thtf fire of American patriotism flares again
It from the rocky headlands of Maine to the golden beaches
of California} is the time to read anew this "proee epic
of American patriotism."
As a story it holds the interest; as a lesson in love of
country it has thrilled the American heart for half a century.
There are now, thank God, hut few Philip Nolans among us. men
who "wish they may never hear of the United States agatnl"
This famous story, which will rank forever first among
America's appeals to patriotism, rhomld be read and reread
for its own sake and for the inspiration it brings.
(Continued from yesterday)
After tbnt cruise 1 never mw Netaa
agalu. I wrote to him at leant twice a
year, for In tbnt voyage we became eves
confidentially Intimate; bat he nevar
wrote to me., The other men tell me
that In those fifteen years be afed rery
fast And now it Menu the dear oM
fellow la dead. He has found a heme
at last, and a country.
Since writing this I have received
from Dan forth, who is on board the
Levant, a letter which gives aa ac
count of Nolan's l«*t hour*. It removes
all my doubts about telling this story.
To understand the first word* ef the
letter the nonprofessional reader ehevVd
remember that after 18)7 the peeMea
of every officer who had Nolan la
charge was one of the greatest deli
cacy. The government had failed to
renew the order of 1807 regarding him.
What was a man to do? Should he let
him go? What then, if he were called
to account by the department for vio
lating the order of 1807? Should he
keep him? What. then. If Neiaa thcruli
be liberated some day and should bring
an action for false Imprisonment er
kidnaping acalnst every man who had
had bim In charge? Tbe secretary al
ways said, as they so often da al
Washington, that there were na sp»
clal orders to give and that we maql
act on our own judgment
Here Is the letter: <
Levant. V r 8. • UT W.
Dear Fred-I try to find heart aad Ufe
to tell you that It Is all over With 4«ar eid
Nolan. The doctor had been watching
him very carefully and yesterday mora In*
came to me and told me that Nolan wee
not so well and had not left his stateroom,
a thing I never remembered before. Be
had let the doctor come and tea him ae he
lay there, the first time the doctor bad
been In the stateroom, and he said be
should like to see me. Oh, dear, do yea
remember the mysteries we boys used te
Invent about his room In tbe old Is troll
days? Well. I went In. and there, to be
euro, the poor fellow lay la his berth,
smiling pleasantly as h* cave me bis
hand, but looking very frail. I could set
help a glance round, which shewed Be
what a little shrine be had mage of tbe
box he was lying In. The stars and swipes
were triced up above and around e picture
of Washington, and he had painted a Hi
jestlc e.igle. with lightnings biasing freto
his beak and his foot Just clasping the
whole globe, which his wlage overshad
owed. The dear old boy saw my glance
and said, with a sad smlla, "Here, you see,
I have a country." And be pointed to tbe
foot of his bed, where 1 bad not seen be
fore a great map of the United • tales as
he had drawn It from memory and which
bo had there to look upon aa he lay.
Quaint, queer old names were en It ia
large letters. "Oh. Danforth," be said. 'X
know 1 am dying. I cannot get heaee.
Surely you will tell me something sow

for that though I do not knew what their
names are. There has never beea one
taken away. X thank Qod tar thai I

any successful Burr. Oh, Danforth. Daa

Oh, the blessed smile that crept over his
white face! And he pressed my hand and
said: "God bless you! TeU me thair

stars on the flag.
Well, I told him the names la as goed

How 1 wished It had been somebody

It was a hard thing te condaose the hia

with salt Place them In a dry, sunny
■pot. Toss them about eneh day for
several days. If you use a newspaper
to spread your leaves upon, care must
be taken to change this paper frequent
ly to eve Id moisture.
It usually takes ten days for the
leaves to become perfectly dry. You
are then ready to mix the odors. Spices
are very necessary, any particular ones
which you may fancy or all, such as
cloves, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
These may be mixed with the rose
petals while they are still on the paper
or tray. At this time, too, may be add
ed dried orange and lemon peel and a
few pinches of lavender flowers.

specimens to be had for the searching.

sweet flowers, such as violets, gerani
um, heliotrope or tuberoses.
