Members of historical Hocictie.*, lov
irs of Wqshiogtoniana and the whole
wide circle of relatives and acquaint
ances of the family of (ion. Robert E.
Lee, are j-j.U mm intensely interested
rn the efforts of members of the family
to regain possession <if the Curtis
family Bible, which was lost by them
forty-three years ago and for which,
during that time, a vain and uninter
rupted search has been conducted.
Found unexpccedily a few month.s ago
in the hands of a Philadelphia!!, this
priceless heirloom, which Martha
Washington used at her morning de
votions and which bears on its yellow
ed pages pages the birth and death re
oords of many of America s famous
mer, is now the (subject of a dispute
which may be carried into the Courts
fV>r settlement.
The present owner, who ?h George
W. Kendriek, Jr., vice president of
tohe Union Surety and Guarauty Com
pany, refuses to turn it over to the
Lees and docs not recognize their
elaim to it. An attorney hai been
consulted by a member of the family
with a view to finding out whether
legal proceedings can be instituted.
The mystery of the disappearance of
the Custis Bible, which came into the
hand*) f Gen. Robert K. Lee by direct
descoct-i from Martha Washington, is
one wd?ich the family has spared no
ef??tta to solve, the General himself
being an active participant in the
search up to the time of his death.
Tho story of its wanderings has been
only partly revealed by its discovery,
but sufficiently so to convince the
family that it was taken from Arling
ton Ilcighta by a Union soldier in
1 S(j 1 at the time of the confiscation of
the property by ihe United States
Government.
It was only a few weeks after the
resignatiou of G<'ii. Leo from the Uni
ted States army and his appointment
to the command of the forces of the
South that his family, in their beau
tiful home at Arlington, received
word from Gen. Scott, who wa? then
at the head of the Union army, order
ing them to vacate the place within
twenty-four hours. In much hasto
and confusion Mrs. Lee and her chil
dren, whose grief at being torn from
their old home was forced into tho
background by their terror of the
Northern army, paoked up their be
longings in a single night and fled to
the home of a relative It was not
for several days that the family Bible,
which had been treasured with tho
greatest care, was found to be miss
ing. It had evidently been left be
hind at Arlington, with other things
of less value. A return for the pur
pose of looking for it was oat of the
question, since the place waB already
in the hands of the Union army, and
they were foroed to resign themselves
a_ l_
VU un lUDDt
During the four years of war which
.followed no active search was made
for tho book, but when after tho sur
render at Appomattox, Gen. Leo and
his sons rejoined their family, the
whereabouts of the Bible became an
absorbing topic. Inquiry was made
everywhere, and museums and collec
tions of historical relics were examin
ed without result. The book hud
evidently gone forever from the fami
ly's possession, and. Gen. Lee died
without hearing any tidings whatever
of it.
The first word of the Bible was re
ceived in March of last year. Miss
Mary Leo, a daughter of Gen. Lee,
while visiting friends in Philadelphia,
received an anonymous type-written
letter telling her briefly that the book
for which she had so long been search
ing was in possession of Mr. Ken
driek. He had placed it on exhibi
tion, the letter said, among other
Washingtoniana in the Masonic Tem
ple, in November, 1902, at the cele
bration of the sesqui-oentennial anni
versary of the initiation of Wash
ington into the Fraternity of Free
Masons.
Miss Lee, who was about to return
to her house in Virginia, did not have
time to investigate the cluo at that
vfiime, but left the matter in charge of
her hostess. Inquiries revealed that
tho book was unmistakably the miss
ing Bible, and Miss Lee, on being in
formed of it, wrote to Mr. Kendriek,
asking if he would be willing to return
it.
' Mr. Kendriok took the attitude that
there were so many members of the
family that one was not entitled to
the Bible more than another. He
consented, however, to a request by
Mrs. Charles Custia Harrison, who is
a member of the Society of the Ladies
of Mount Vernon, that she be permit
non to the annual meeting of the so
ciety in May. There the Bible was
fully identified as the original Oustie
Bible, and after the return to Phila
Pniladelphi
tako the book to Mount Ver

delphia the Leos became more deter
mined than ever t<i regain possession
of it.
Mi>s Lee, in behalf of her brother,
Cm. Custis Lec, of Raveusworth, \'a.,
who, an the eldest son, is said to be
the rightful owner, consulted a Phila
delphia lawyer a few mouths later.
The lawyer communicated with Mr.
Keudrick. S'n further proceedings
have yet been made.
Mr. Kendrick, in speaking of tlie
mat 1er, h.iid ;
"While 1 have had the Bible for
over twenty years, I am perfectly will
ing in give it either to tin: Ladies of
Mount V'crnon Society or to the
Smithsonian Institution, Washington.
Such a relic as this should be placed
where the public can see it. I do not
admit that (Jen. (JustisJLeo is entitled
to it more than any other descendant
of Martha Washington, and hence am
unwilling to turn it over to him. I
do not know whether the attorney in
tends to prosecute the matter or not.
I have not heard from him since his
first communication."
Mr. Kcndrick said that he bought
the Bible twenty-two years ago from a
man named Stein, who is now dead.
"I understand," said ho, ''that Mr.
Stein's father, who was a soldier in
the Union army, bought the book
from a sutler, who in turn purchasod
it from a soldier who fouud it in the
house at Arlington. A sutler is a
man who follows an army selling pro
visions and clothing to the troops.
Both Mr. Stein and his father being
dead, there is no way of learning just
how the book came into their posses
sion, and I did not inquire particu
larly in regard to it wheu I bought
it."
The Bible was published by Charles
Bell in London in 1702. It contains
the nntti.'S of the births of l'aony
l'arke Custis, September IB, 1710, and
Daniel Parke Custis, October 15, 1711.
There are also the records of the mar
riago of Daniel and Martha
Custis and the births of their various
children. Ou the page at the end of
the New Testament is the birth record
of G"Orgo W. 1'. Custis, the adopted
son of Washington, while on the page
immediately preceding the Book of
Psalms is the birth record of Gen.
Robert E. Lee.
A slip of paper in the book, evi
dently written years ago, bears the
following statement: "This Bible was
road in her mtrning-levotions by Mar
tha Washington."
In a letter to a friend a few weeks
ago, Miss Mary Lee, in speaking of
her father, Gen. Lee's anxiety to re
cover iho Bible, said:
"My father often said to us, 'I hope
that into whosoever's hands it has
fallen he will read the book and know
from it that it is his duty to return
it.' "

TUE LOVE STOHY OF SERGEANT JAM- .
I'KU.
The story of the love of Sally St. (
Clair and Sergeant Jasper is brief, j
touching and tragic. Jasper was a ]
hero of tho American Revolution and <
belonged to tho famous band of Ma- 1
rion, the "Swamp Eox." Of rather i
humblo origin and limited education, |
his talents and unparalcllcd bravery (
prooured his rapid advancement, i
Early in the struggle he saved the life
of Sally St. Clair, a beautiful young t
Southern girl with flashing brown oyes i
and curling dark hair. Cupid hides 1
in the folds of battle flags and love i
ripens more rapidly when the air vi
brates with the martial notes of the
bugle, and the blood stirs briskly in
time to fife and drum?when today
only is sure and tomorrow may oarry <
the lover away to glory or death. In j
this oase Miss St. Clair's gratitude <
was also a potent faotor. i
Their love was soaroely declared
when Marion's band was ordered into i
aetioo and they parted with all the :
anguish which lovers must feel in the i
faoe of Buch uncertainty. For him <
there was excitement, aotion, achieve
ment ahead, and for her inaction, un
certainty and tedious waiting. This
state of affairs became unendurable,.
and she made a desperate resolve, lit
tle in accord with her especially femi
nine appearanoe. She out cS her <
hair, donned men's olothing and, fol- >
lowing il:- hii?:i<!?}j hi Mated as her
loyer pi ?oiupaiiioii-at arms.
H lie looked It kt; a blender boy, but
bor?! herself with unflinching courage,
and rio oue su? peeled her identity,
lea-i "i all, .Jaipur. She endured
without complaint the fatigucB of
inarching, the bivouac on the ground,
the coarse, scanty fair, repaid by an
occasional truupscof her lover. lie
was always at the front aud she
always fought bj his side, hoping to
Hhicld him in ca9C of danger. Some
tiuit'B at night, when guns were stack
ed and camp Gres low, and the light of
the atara revealed the weary soldiers
wrapped in their blankctu aud dream
ing, perhaps, of home, sho Htolo to
Jasper's side and watched him as he
slept. On the eve of a great battle
she stood watching him, filled with a
presentiment of coming evil, and pray
ing that he might never know what
she had done for his sake. Her tears
fell upon his face, and fearing to
arouse him, she stole away to weep
through the long hours of the night.
In the morning battle raged hotly
over the spot aud Mi.ss St. Clair
fought desperately side by Hide with
Jasper. Thr fever of battle waa in
her blood, aud she knevT no fear. At
length a weapon was levelled at Jas
per, aud she threw herself in front of
him, receiving the missile in her own
breast and falling at Jasper's feet.
As ho held her in his arms, her beau
tiful dark eyes glazing in death fixed
upon his, her lifo blood gushing rap
idly away, ho learned for the first
time of all she had dared and endured
for love's sake. With her lover's
arms about her, and the missilo still
in her breast, in the midst of surging
and charging infantry and cavalry,
with the boom of cannon growing dull
er to her dying ears, she gave up her
life gladly for him who had ouce saved
hers.
She was buried in a quiet grave by
the Santee river with all the honors
due a soldier. The entire brigade
stood with bared heads as the guu was
Gred above her, and many a tear was
shed for her by the rude men who had
been her comrades.
After this Jasper fought more reck
lessly than over, distinguishing him
self u number Df timc3. A sword was
presented to him for his rescuo of a
Gag shot away from the ramparts of
Fort Moultrie. He luct his death in
raising the flag on the fort in Savan
nah. Three men had lost their lives
in tho desperate attempt before he
made it and succeeded, thus immor
talizing himself by a death not less
heroic than that of the girl he loved
and from whom ho was not long di
vided.?From The Ladies' Home Jour

lien. Gordons Last. Words at Appo
niattox.
After tho death of General "Stone
wall" Jackson, Gen. John B. Gordon
nay be said to have been the "right
band" of General Lee, owing to his
thorough knowledge of strategy, his
habita of watchfulness of the move
ments of tho enemy, and the irresisti
ale dash with which he led his daring
veterans upon the field.
General Gordon was born a soldier,
itiue son of Mars. He was as mod
?st as he was brave and or course, in
bis recent lectures did not tell of his
)wn many deeds of valor, as they were
witnessed or known to the veterans of
Lee's irmy. I was at Appomattox
ind beg leave to mention a few inoi
lents connected with the gallant Gor
ion:
By order of Surgeon Lafayette
3uild, medical director of tho Army
if Northern Virginia, who had impro
vised a amull field hospital for the
wounded, of our last "akiruiiau." ou
:he morning of iho surrender. On the
lay fallowing, while taking a little
est from our labors when in conver
sation with ray brother medical officer,
we were most agreeably surprised by a
salutation from General Gordon as he
-ode up to our oamp Gre. General
jtordon and I wore college boys to
gether at the University of Georgia,
le a senior and I a freshman. He ad
Iressed me in his old familiar manner:
'Ned, get your horse end ride with
no, I am now on my way to make a
ast address to my soldiers of the See
)nd corps and tho right wing of the
irmy."
In a few moments we were faoing
the soldiers who loved him so well
?nd were ever proud to follow him in
battle. Still in hi* saddle and follow
ed by his staff, all of whom were
mounted, General Gordon advanced a
pace to the front, and with all the
winning grace of a soldier, removed
his bat fad addressed bis veterans. I
oan only give the ideas in the orude
form, for the address, with the lapse
of years is now bot a memory of this
rad and eventful occasion:
"My Countrymen and Fellow Sol
diers: Already has onr great com
mander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, spoken
an aff cot ion ate farewell to the Army
of Northern Virginia. No pea or
words oan add to bis touching and pa
triotic address. I beg, however, as
your late oorps commander, the privi
lege of a few words in this sad hour of
parting. Let me assure you that my
heart goes out to eaob and every one
of this gallant oorps in this dark hour
of disaster. Do aot doubt, my fellow
soldier*, that the future historian will
give tu you a I'ull tin usuro of your j
martial glory. \'<<<ir battle flags, now
furled, ?' '! of your !.er;ic achieve

meats. Thousands of your comradee,
in almost every plain iu historic old
Virginia, sleep tho sleep of death, yet
the death of glory. But few survive
the fierce conflict of civil war. And
oily a remnant is bofore me today, to
tell the story of tho battles and priva
tions of tho Seoond Army oorpa?tho
old corps of Stonewall Jackson. This
eorps and this army of Northern Vir- j
ginia will be remembered as long as
tho namaa of Stonewall Jaoksoo and
Robert H. Leo will bo treasured by a
grateful people. Overwhelmed by su
perior numbers and almost inexhausti
ble resources, together with tho un
tiring energy and dauntless courage
which has over marked the military
movements of the great leader of the
Federal army, General Ulysses S.
Grant, the army of Northern Virginia,
an army of heroes, decimated by bat
tle, disease and privations, through
four years of almost continuous war
fare, will now disband, never perhaps,
to meet again.
"With our last parting let me impress
press you one or two thoughts which
I trust will go with you to your homes
and firesides. Remember that in
God's providence we have surrendered
not to a foreign fee, but to our own
countrymen. In the exhibition of
your fortitude in tho face of disaster,
ever bo as great and as good as citi
zens as you have been great and heroic
aB soldiors. lover be the model sol
dier. Obey the oivil law, no matter
how odious the same may be tempo
rarily. Dischargo every duty as a
citizen to your respective States and
to the general government. Sustain
the poor, help tho feeblo, and succor
the unfortunate in your midst, and by
so doing you will command not only
tho admiration and respect of the
world, but win the friendship and
confidence of those who are now your
political enemies.
"Fellow soldiers, with my love and
my benediction resting upon each and
every one within tho sound of my
voice, I now bid you farewell. May
God, in his infinite mercy and kind
ness, protect and bless you and yours
now r.nd forever."
No words can truly express the
touching eloquence and tender pathos
of tho speaker or paint the scenes of
that sad parting. It was like a last
good-bye from brother to brother.

We arc all tuorul coward?, every I
one- vi u.->. Frequently the mau who <
has the greatest physical courage in |
the face of shot and shell is the first
to dispLy moral cowardice.?John D.
Rockefeller, to his Bible olaes.
The attendance at the Rockefeller
Bible class yesterday was the largest
in its history, almost every seat in
the large auditorium of the Fifth Ave
nue Baptist Churoh being ocoupicd.
Mr. Rockefeller spoke on "Moral
Courage." taking his text from the
Apostle Paul's Statement in his de
fense when on the trial before the Ro
man governor, Felix. He said, in
part:
"How few of us would have had
the moral courage to have said what
Paul did if we were placed in the
same position. Now let us define
what moral courage is. It is that
faculty which enables one to do what
is morally right without tho slightest
regard to personal consequence?. It
puts God and truth and righteousness
before all personal considerations.
Physical courage enables ono to face
bodily danger without flinching. It
carries a man into the storm of shot
and shell without regard to hia person
al danger.
"This is admirable in its way,but the
man who would not flinch before the
fire of the enemy is often tho one who
falls in the hour of moral temptation
because he has not the courage to say
'no;' or dreads the sneer or laugh of
wicked companions more than the
disapproval of God. No one without
moral courage can stand firm in the
hour of temptation or attain that no
ble life for which God has made him.
"We are all moral cowards, every
one of us. We let opportunities pass
by for fear of the jeers of our fellow
men. What docs their laugh or
sneers amount to? It is only tempo
rary at the ?best, and you will find
that the man who laughs and sneers
at you to-day for having the moral
courage to stand up for God is the
man who will admire you for it to
morrow. Down in his heart he knows
you are right and admires you for
your courage.
"Moral cowardice is the opposite of
moral courage. As the latter is ad
mirable and heroic, so the former is
despicable. And yet for lack of this
quality thousands of people make a
wreck of life. If they feared God
half as much as they fear the taunts
of men they would not permit them
selves to bo laughed out of being true
' to themselves and true to God.?New
