lines of the third stanza, but knew it
only foreboded the return of the tenn

The starspangled banner
"There are twenty thousand threats
swelling the call of the pennant under
which they had fought, and five thou
sand more joined in the invocation.
% long may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the home Of the brave
" The echo of the last word has but
struck the branches of the pines when
they begin to repeat. Higher, wider,
deeper, stronger, louder the SWELL 1t
peals-it roars-it booms-it thunders!
1t is an artillery of song The speaker
outside stands transfiXed. He has heard
the anthem before, but never as now.
Perhaps it is reminding him of the high
position he but lately held under the
flag he defies. The listeners appear al
most panicked. A guardsman's gun
drops from his hands without his miss
ing it.
Again they repeat, and now the
scene grows wild. Thirty thousand
voices are changing the chorus-thirty
thousand bosoms swelling with thought
of country and flag and home and loved
ones from whom they are parted. Men
with but one leg Chamber up and, sup
ported by their stronger comrades, wave
their caps aloft and join the chorus:
The star -spangled banner, o long may it wave

"Once more they repeat, and now all
the prison is in the sky-rending peal
the very walls, the ground. Poor, fever
wasted frames, within an hour of disso-
luton from their spirits, half uprise
and, propping upon one hand, raise the
withered fingers of the other aloft while
they unite their cracked voices in the
refrain they will hear nevermore:

Questions Answered.

G.. n. W., Burlington.-The testi-
mony of relatives will be considered
in a pension claim where other sufficient
evidence cannot be procured.
N. p, Cabot.-A soldier could not
obtain a pension on disability con-
tracted while engaged in voluntary
scuffie while in the army. Such a disa-
bility would be held not to originate in
the line of duty.
S. ID. b., Woodbury.. The widow of
a soldier who was found dead in the
forest where he was engaged at work,
and the town record showing that his
death was caused by " falling limb of
tree" could not procure pension on
the ground that her husbands death
was caused by heart disease, contracted
while in the army, except by special
act of congress.
A. j. s., Worcestershire know moth
ing of the Washington attorney whose
circulars you have sent us. You should
not entrust important business in his
hands unless he is recommended by
some one known to you. He says he
has been an examiner of the pension
office. If so, there is law that pro-
hibits him prosecuting claims for pen
sions for two years from the date of his
retirement from office.
E. A. g., Fairfield, Maine, writes
g was pensioned as a widow of SOL
der, but remarked, thinking that to
have a companion would be worth IS
month. But alas, l drew blank, for
he was lazy and deserted me when |
became unable to support him." She
asks: " If procure divorce from my
husband, can | have my pension re-
stored?" Answer-No, you could not
