shapeliness of her almost delicate hams,
the pearly wilderness Of her small and even
teeth and the limpid sparkle of her clear
blue eyes.
There was something like a look of min

Uncle Dan'l stand up so rigidly by John
Loring's grave, and she glanced slyly at a
manly young fellow a few years older than
herself who stood with his hand on the bit

watching Uncle Dan'l all the while, biting
his lip and occasionally pulling at his light
mustache.
When all the graves had been visited and
the ceremonies had been completed, Uncle
Dan'l saluted the commander and fell out Of
the company, Immediately coming straight
toward the girl, whose face frightened as
he approached.

girl:

With mufled drums and measured tread
the little band of battle marked and time
scared veterans-honored heroesof the no
BILE army that fought to preserve the Union
marched through the cemetery that lay
sleeping on the southwark sloping hillside.
The balmy breath Of springtime was in the
air, and when they passed onward, after
pauslng at the last resting place of some
dead comrade, the sweet perfume of flowers
rose from the green grass that grew above
the departed soldiers breast, while q tiny
iag-the dearly loved red, white and blue
Ahuttered beside the marble tombstone.
At length they halted by awhile shaft
that bore the name Of John Loring," fol-
lowed by this strange inscription:
Pardon is granted because of his faithful
service and splendid record as a brave and
loyal soldier. A. LINCOLN.
With q single exception every head was
uncovered and bowed as the flowers and
nag were placed on the grave. One there
was among them, however, who stood up
stiilly, with his cord encircled hat unre-
moved from his white head, his age lined
face grave and emotionless, as If carved
from adamant.
Never in all the years since they began
decorating that grave had Uncle Dan'l

man Of that company would have received
the severest censure from his comrades. but
Uncle Dan'l was acknowledged to be "a
little queer and strait laced" SO his act
was passed over in silence.
There were those, however, who limited
that there had once been a feud between
the two men, and that ever death had not
softened the heart Of stubborn old Uncle
Den'l; but, IL this was true, the facts were
not public property.
At all the other graves where the veter-
ans paused and uncovered he removed his
hat and bowed his head with the rest, his
grim features %softening and something like
q tender look creeping into his eyes, once so
clear and bright, but now growing dim
with advancing age.
Among those gathered at the cemetery to
watch the solemn memorial ceremonies was
q plainly dressed but pretty girl of rs. She

the smoke blue air.
Uncle Dan'l came to the cottage door
shaded his eyes with his hand and gazed
across the hollow toward the spot where
the winding stream disappeared into a
grove that had been touched here and there
by the lurid brush Of Jack Frost. There
was a troubled look on the old mans face
as he muttered:

Winter came, and the little cottagein the

times the back road was quite abandoned

To make matters worse, Uncle DAM
was not very well, for the time was past

to be cheerful for the sake of Jennie, whom
