When CLYDE liammon enlisted in the

Volunteers, and said good Ia. Ia the old
home which nestled half hidden in tn,
Andro,coggin Valley, he carried with him
something more than the memories which
linked him so strongly to the old place and
the aged pair remaining there, 1t was
not a picture and yet 1t was a more
beautiful one than artist ever painted
rs he saw it,, 1t was simple little
some thing, and possessed Of very
trihing meaning, but one would think
Clyde thought very differently. 1t was
not a story, but sweeter than it told to
him never was listened to. 1t was merely
a myrtle leaf-an evergreen token that
he carried carefully next his heart all the
way TO the front, and which he guarded
almost reverently through the memorable
days that crept by after his regiment was
assigned to actual duty.
1t was the best company he had. Of
ten he fell into the habit Of taking it from
its resting place, when the campfire gave
out its Pickering light and he fancied his
comrades asleep, or when alone on picket,
and looking at the pretty picture 1t
sketched for him, or listening to the whis-
pered tale it breathed But he concealed
it from all other eyes. There was a touch
Of holiness about it, somehow, and he felt
that a curious gaze would desecrate it.
Once his mess-mate, Lieutenant Lange,
came upon him suddenly, as he sat hold
ing the fragile leaf by the stem, half lost
in dreamy reverie, and his WHY, what
on earth is the man dreaming overr'
