This is the title of new book, one of the
most readable and pleasantly interesting books
that has been published for many years.

the SHOWS Of the grand old White Mountains
to the slope beyond the foothills, away to the
great ocean. There are man y beautiful
glimpses of the land We love, North and
South. 1t is pleasant story of pleasant peo-
pie, with little of the evil of human kind,
tragedy, great deal Of nobility and BROTH

where sleep those we have lost:
"Under the blossoms, the blue;
Under the garlands, the gray.
Under the sod and the dew, y
Waiting the judgment day
Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray"
We are first given to look upon the love

er and sweet sister, happy in her own little
family. There is another family around
which centers much of the interest of the
story-a mother and son and daughter, true
and noble in heart and mind as they are in
physical proportions. This group forms the
Southern element. Tho two young men are
fast friends after long association, faithful each
to the other in promise and performance. In

Running through oil the story is golden
thread OF pathos, tender with pesrly tears,
because of the fair, sweet loved one whom
death has taken by the hand and is slowly
leading away from the glad, bright life she
had planned; yet so beautiful to her is her
journey that we only seem to see her going
home.
There is another death, where the soul goes
out in darkness-a tragedy, terrible in its re.
ality. There is convicting circumstantial
evidence that leaves no doubt in the minds of
the community as to the identity of the mur-
derer. The cSse is apparently hopeless, and
the grief Of those who love him is deep. At
this crisis comes the friend-almost brother
and labors untiringly for him, until, amid the
profoundest silence, he said "1f your Honor

these facts, I move that my friend, your friend,
our Southern friend, -, be discharged
