Rich men from the western shoies of the Atlantic are pur-tbasing estates that were once the domains of loyalty, and causing tho tountryside to rake up many a tradi-liuti of their early glory. Within the list fortnight the descendant, of a wealthy New York family bought what Is reputed to be the birthplace of a C.ueeu, and about which, even as the Ivy of its moated walls, clings the Itory of the hapless Anne Boleyn.

So when Henry Waldorf Astor purchased Hever Castlo near Seven Oaks, Kent, for seven thousand pounds sterling, some days ago. the good country folk started to tell again the romance the woman because of whom it is ihiofly famous. Though three places tlaim to be her birthplace the people war and while the party sat at tho rendezvous. Horace Porter, our present ambassador to France, was therej as aide to the general. He tells me that at McLean's house, Grunt, after' greeting Lee and his secretary and exchanging a few sentences of conversation with them, motioned them t', chairs opposite the renter table, and, then seated himself and began to wiite.

If he had been sending a casual note inviting a brother officer to dinner he could not have been less agitated, outwardly at least, and yet lie was bringing to an end a war of four years' duration, one of the stubhornest and bloodiest, in modern history, and one, which but for the success might have changed th whole current of human civilizal ion. "lie had just, closed a sentence, as shown by the momentary cessation of the scratching on the paper, when little ray of light broke through an opening between him and the Confederate officers, aid fell on Lee's sword hilt.

It was a fine illur-tration of the pawer of momentary suggestion. "When it was all over, and T.r.i was riding off In the direction of headquarters, Grant issued a few routine orders nnd then summoned Ingalls by nod, and silently mounted his horse and rode away In the opposite direction.

Ingalls had ridden over with hin that morning, and they had been engaged in the way in reminiscences of the men and adventures they had both known in the Mexican war.

To erect it into the center of authority, he has cowed the legislative branch of of the government by winning for himself popular idolatry Bn I by convincing senators and reprcsMitaUv? that his will Is the concentrated essence of the will of the people, to be opposed at the risk of provoking the vengeance of the people, also, has into such matters as the coal trik, the composition of the family, the principles of militant patriotism, the duty of citizenship, the obligation of the rich to live and to spend wisely. No other President since Jackson has ben so directly and obviously the people's representative; and not even Jackson displayed such all-round anxiety for the welfare of the people. Of contemporaneous heads of nations in civilization only the German Emperor approaches him in this respect. The Emperor, thanks to a different political system, lu able to surpass him.

But this conception of tb President as a ocnter of political, Intallcdval cod disappointed love are true. There was little at Hever to overcome the young girl distraction. The dark moats with their stagnant, waters, the forhoding shadows that lurked around the round towers, all tended to inn-crease her melancholy. In the long gallery, the stained glass windows, their heraldic devices, shed for her a somber light despite the four-coated shield in her mother's right.of Howarl, Brotherton. Warren and Mawbray; and the seven quarters of the paternal Hoo, St.

Hastily sending his daughter to her room, with the command to "get in bed in a trice." Sir Thomas ordered the drawbridge lowered and the portcullis raised. To the wonderment ol its owner the castle did not respond with the bugle of a ralvacade. The king had come almost alone. The royal visitor indeed seemed ill at ease, and, after due refreshments, he made som-: transparently feeble pretext for seeing the daughter Anne. "Your majesty," was the reply, "ti girl is ill and cannot be seen.

She is now asleep in her room." When the news came that her lover had married another, Anne is to have thruwn off her sorrow, so far as it was visible, had attempted to enliven the gloomy halls of Hever with the French songs and dances that she had learned at the court at Paris.

the birth of the Princess Eli- zabeth. the usurpation of Anne's favor with the king by Jane Seymour, the charges brought against Anne, her bo- i heading and the mysterious disappearance of her body, are succeeding chapters of English history, which would never have been enacted if Anne Boleyn had never left Hever Castle for throne. On the death of Sir Henry Boleyn, Hever Castle was seized by King Henry on the ground that it belonged to his former wife, even though he hud divorced her and had had her beheaded. It waa later settled upon laiiy Anne of Cleves, and on her death it passed to Sir Edward Waldegravc From the Waldegraves It passed to the Humphreys, and from the Humphreys to the Malleys of Sussex. The castle still retains most of Its mediaeval characteristics, und contain; mm of the furniture which was used there In the time of the Boleyns.

The room that has always been most popular for visitors Is the bedroom of Anne, which is beautifully paneled and cuntains Anne Uoleyn's bed. Here are still a massive pair or andirons bearing the royal Initials 11. and surmouut-ed with crowns. Another room is said to have been used by Henry VIII for a council chamber. The room has a curiou- stuicj ceiling.

Most cf the window- bearing heraldic designs still exist. Thi secret passages, dungeons and blln of Kent contend that Anne Iloleyn was born at Hever In the favorite ibode of her father. Sir Thomas Iloleyn. Here, they say she spent rot only the first seven years of her happy thildhood, but also a later period cf txile from the court of Henry VIII, because she had dared love a younger lad handsomer man than her monarch. Here, too, Queen Elizabeth is said to have visited years afterward to behold the home of her mother and do honor to her memory.

Despite the conflict of various traditions as to the place of her birth, it is known that the future wife of Henry VIII lived at Hever Castle before she wa3 sent to France to the court cf Louis XII, when she was a seven-year-old girl. It was a venerable and im-froslng structure which was built In the reign of Edward III by a Norman baron. William de Hever, and embattled as Uxlay with moat, portcullis, draw-tridge and round towers after the fashion of a feudal fortress. The banquet hall which in recent years has been ssed as a kitchen, waj huge, for It had Keen built for baronial festivities, before the father and mother of Anne made it their home, with a less free purse for such extravagances. The windows of the long winding galleries bore the shields of many generations.

It was a rjiiiet place for the child. All its heraldic bearings were of a farmer frandeur. Sir Thomas Bolryn. her father, Mid the grandson of Sir Hoef-frcy Holey r. who purchased the had only the returns of the farm, together with a cash income of $2a0 a year, when he first made it his home.

The little girl found the court of France, therefore, in striking contrast her English home. She had gone thither in the retinue of Mary, the sister of the king of England, who had become the wife of the aged Louis XII. Here her father thougnt his little daughter would obtain a culture and education which would fit her to be a lady of the court. The father reckoned well, but Utilly. When Anne Iloleyn came back 'n Hever In exile son.e years later, the Joy of her early life had departed forever She was already within foe power of the fickle-hearted English sovereign, was destined never to escape from r.im until at last she went to the scaffold in the Tower of London, at the age of twenty-nine.

After spending eight years in France, she had exchanged the gay life of the French capital for the court of Henry where her beauty, as one of the queen maids of honor, soon surrounded tier with a crowd of admirers. The king smiled at her. but she did not realize then what his smiles meant. Befote long she had fallen In love with the gallant and dashing Sir Henry Percy, a Hotspur, son of the Earl of Northumberland. It appears that Sir Percy used come to court with Cardinal Wolsey, the chief councillor of the king at that time, and while the master was closeted with the monarch the young page found the opportunity to meet the dark-haired and dark-eyed Anne.

The girl excelled In music, she could sing nd datue and her lively manner completely conquered the heart of the Hot-lur. Suddenly the girl was banished from court aud sent to secluded walls of Hever. The king told her father that ue could cot marry Sir Percy, as he.
