sermon by DIR. McKeehan.
The speaker took for his text these
words, "A good soldier, a captain, he
fights a good fight" After tracing
several analogies between actual war
fare and the fgurative warfare of
christianity, he rapidly sketched the
sad and the cheerful scenes of camp
life. showing how each had their
counterparts in life. The qualifica-
lions of a good soldier were next taken
up. Ambition for promotion, prayer,
confidence in commander, and respect
and love of commander for the soldier
were the ones most important. The
sermon closed with an address to the
veterans present and perOration de-
scribing the last great review at the
Judgment. The discourse abounded in
historical references and was particu-
larry severe upon the present policy of
the government in refusing to grant
proper pensions to the Old soldiers.

few moments noticed the earth over the
seeds begin to move, and at the same
time the young cucumber plants made
their appearance. 1t was such strange
occurrence that I sat perfectly dumb

The vines began to spring and grow off
like h-Egic. and when I began to raise

But what astOnished me most was the

In their blankets, and, after singing out
the spot where Jim was lying, he went
down on his hands, and as nOiseless as
a shadow crawled straight for the
sleeper.
jim was sleeping, his smooth young
face upturned to the stars. Missouri
was close beside him, and as he bent
his own rough, weather-beaten face
close above that of the youth. some
thing like a sob seemed to force its way
over its quivering lips.

as he sleeps thus how like he is to his
mother; and in his waking hours the
same hasty, fiery nature when thwart-
ed as hers used to be. But L must call
him before some one comes and finds
me here.
So saying, he touched Jim's hand
lightly and called his name in q whis-
per close to his ear.
The youth stirred uneasily. Again
his name was called, and Jim opened
his eyes and found hIissOuri's face
bending close over him, and he heard
his voice hardly above a breath whis-
per, flush.
Jim was not startled. Slowly he rose
to sitting position, and in a voice as
guarded as MissOuri's had been he
asked: "What is it, Missouri? What
do you want ?"
Il came back to tell you something,
jim, before I go away"
"And you amt mad with me?" asked
Jim, looking Missouri straight In the
face.
"No, jim"
There was a tear that trickled down
the hard, weather-beaten cheek, but
Missouri did not know it. jim, how
ever, saw the reflection of a glimmer-
ing star in it as it darted out of sight
among the gray beard on AIissOuri's
face, and Jim's voice was more tender
than usual when he said:
Forgive me, Missouri; I didn't in
tend to hurt you, but the devil gets
into me occasionally, and L can't
help it."
II know, Jim; but if you amt too
sleepy, 1 would like to tell you some
thing.

go a little ways from camp, for I don't
wish any one but you to hear what I
am going to tell; and some of these
fellows may be awake and listen"

the place and were soon out Of sight
and hearing of the camp.

Jim that night was one of sorrow and
sadness; for, in spite of all that he
could do, the tears would come and
mix with his voice, and even Jim's
face had traces of tears upon it.
As the story progressed Jim moved
up closer to the old man, and when it
was finished he leaned his head against
AissOuri's breast.
"I see it all now. Forgive me, for
give me, " sObbed Jim.
Just then Missouri, with a faint
moan upon his lips, fell over backward
IN a dead swOOn, faint from excitement
and loss of blood.
Jim tried to rouse him, but his every
effort seemed in vain. Then he shout
ed for help, but just at that moment
the loud believing of the cattle in the
herd drowned his voice.
In few moments the earth seemed
to tremble; the believing Of the cattle
grew wilder, fercer, and the sound was
nearer. The rattle of the horns of the
maddened brutes as they FLASHED to-
gether in the night sounded like dis
tant musketry, and Jim knew that the
herd had stampeded. He tried to drag
Missouri with him out of the way Of
the roaring mass he saw coming, but
failed. He called him and tried to
rouse him, but received no answer or
| sign that he was heard.
The cattle We're close upon them
when jim made one more effort to
rouse Missouri. At last he opened
his eyes and looked about him. He
| seemed to take in the situation on the
instant, for he quickly sprang to his
| feet, clasped Jim around the waist and
! held him to his breast, while he reso-
/ lutely turned his back to the oncoming
herd that rushed upon them the next
moment
The cattle passed on with a rush and
roar. Behind them from the trampled
! ground, bruised and bleeding. rose
Missouri, with Jim yet In his arms,
clasped closely, tenderly to his breast,
but the head of the youth was crushed
and trampled out of shape, and his
| limbs hung limp and lifeless.
Missouri carried the dead boy to the
camp and placed him upon a blanket
on the ground. Then drawing his PTS
tOl, he touched it to his head but be-
fore he had time to fire he fell dead
| by the side of Jim.
