plaits as straight as possible. Change
the ribbon into the left hand while
with the right you join the plaits by

right hand, and make loop. as long or

ribbon over to where the first plaits

Those beautiful and touching cere-
monies of Decoration day do credit to
the noblcst sentiments of the national
heart; originating in the south, where
it is the custom to deck with flowers
the graves of those who wore the blue
as of those who wore the gray, they are
doing much to unite the memory of a
common grief and sacrifice. Above the
graves of those who won and of those
who failed, but who all fought for what
they believed the right, we sign our
truce of peace, and "hide the scars in
flowers"

Nor sentry's shot alarms.

among all the young men of his ac-
quaintance, he could not have selected,
so far as he was concerned, more de-
sirable son-in-law than the young man
who now appeared to hold the first
place in his daughters good graces.
MILFORD Ormsby was born in the
town of Elmwood, and, even had the
population been larger, he would I'M
doubtedly have been known by every
citizen of the place from the peculiar
ly sad circumstances of his early life.
He had been an orphan since he was
four years of age, and scarcely had any
remembrance of the tragic events
which left him both ia therless and
motherless. His father had been a
young lawyer in Elmwood, and was
just beginning to work into good
practice when a terrible disaster de-
prived him of life. One night his home
caught fire. He was in town attending
some meeting when word was brought
him that his house was burning. He
sacrificed himself in the attempt to
save wife and child. The former was
injured so she died in few hours, but
the boy was saved.
Little four-year-old MILFORD found
many kind friends to care for him. An
investigation of his fathers estate
showed that n small income would be
forthcoming sufficient to pay for the

Ormsby had been one of the first 70
enlist, and his service had extended
through the war. His last interview
with Margic MILFORD had left him al
most stunned, for the coquette to have
answered his plea as she had, and he
felt that nothing he could meet at the
hands of the enemy, let it be death it
self, would be SO agonizing. He was
captured three separate times and had
as often made his escape. He had time
and again been offered promotion for
gallantry on the field and for secret
service of the most valuable character
to the government, but he had persist

ward, undeveloped women. Fortunately

There was little need for Margie to
tell how bitterly she had repented of
her hasty, careless words. Seated be-
side his grave-as she thought-en-
gagged as she had been, was enough for
Wilford, whose heart had never ceased
To hunger for her love. Everything
was talked over hurriedly and explana-
tions made. MILFORD could hardly tell
how he had escaped. He had been
blown some distance and stunned.
When consciousness returned he found
himself again in the hands of the
enemy, but his Imprisonment did not
last long. The war was at an end and
he was discharged, but he had no desire
to get home He wandered out west,
| but had little heart to work, even for
a living. One day he heard from Elm
wood and learned the property he had
left there had grown to be very valu-
able and he felt it duty to go and
settle up his affairs in that regard He
had only arrived on Decoration day and
had followed the people to the ceme-
terry. He had watched Margie, whom
he knew at once, and when alone he
approached her. He saw the name on
the slab, and sad as it was he could not
help smiling, knowing that some error
had been made. lie spoke Of all the

Margie Wheaton was unquestionably
the belle of Elmwood and she was just
as certainly natural coquette. Not
that she was selfish or heartless, but
she possessed in a very strong degree u
love of admiration and attention, and
now at about the age of eighteen she
could claim to have had more admirers
than all the other girls in Elmwood put
together She would ride or walk OF
dance with some one Young fellow foI
few weeks, or perhaps months, and
lust as the cavalier felt certain he had
made an impression upon her heart she
would commence a desperate Irritation
with some one else, leaving the poor fell
in the deepest slough of dependency.
This Inconsistency in Margie's DISPOSE
ton often led her friends to chide her
and she received manifold warnings
that she would yet die an old maid, How
nearly prophetic these warnings were
will be seen in the sequel of this story
DR. Roger Wheaton was widower and
his only daughter MEgie, left in his
care by the death of her mother, had
been since his wifes demise both his
solace and thorn of discomfort. Pretty
bright, vivacious, full to the brim and
running over with the spirit of fun and
laughter, she made his home, which
would otherwise have been desolate
radiant and bright and joyous.
Margie Wheaton's friendly relations
with MILFORD had exceeded in point OF
time that of any of her previous adj
mirers, and the good people of Elm
wood had begun to whisper among
themselves that Margie had lat last fall
en- into the same snare she had herseli
laid for so many Others. DR. Wheaton
was himself overjoyed at the prospect
