Ing them. THEFT lives passed peacefully
and rather monot bously, but they seemed
content with theiEhumblc lot, apparently
caring little for tginss beyond the bounds
Of their tiny world.
On the night Of this Memorial day Uncle
DAn1 sat by the open cottage door and
smoked bis pipe, the light Of the setting
sun showing n troubled look on his face,
while Jennie nmved briskly about tho
room. attending "a bcrlirht household du-
ties and humming a | Sof n song.
All at once the old man removed his pipe,
struck 1t against the edge Of the chair to
knock out the ashes, straighted up and
cleared his throat, speaking with an effort:
Come here, little one"
She approached, n wondering look on her
face, for she saw by his manner he had
something serious to say. He took her hand
and pulled her down beside him. She sat
on the floor, resting her arm on his knee
and her head on her arm, while his once
sinewy fingers sought her curls, which the
last ~slanting bars Of sunlight made bright
with q golden tinge.
The man hcsitated about beginning, but
suddenly plunged into his subject In an
abrupt and awkward manner.

"Oh, Uncle Dan'll" she cried in genuine
distress. please don't talk Of that"

retort. Something l saw today makes me
feel it's needful and right. My old eyes
amt so sharp rs they used TO be, but they
saw that young Nat Loriug looking ut ye,

post and was condemned to be shot"
But was pardoned by the president be

record IA u brave and loyal soldier"
The old mans face darkcned and became
still harsher. His voice was not steady as
he cried.
THAT sounds very well, but let me tell
ye there was n wonderful influence brought
to bear on the president to obtain that par
death he deserved. His son il n chip Of the

Pale and trembling, the girl left Nat Lor-

fastened on the young man all the while, as
he continues:

MARRY herl' almost shouted Uncle Dan'l,
his face now dark as a stormcloud. you

dead and buried" Then he almost dragged
the girl from the spot, urging her away
with passionate words and earnest entrea-
ties.
"You may change your mind some day,
Mr.. Brinton," called Nat.
The old man turned to fling back, 'Nev-
er, sir-never, never!" and the unfortunate
lover was left alone by the trysting tree
and the murmuring brook.
Winter came, and the little cottage In the
hollow was nearly buried beneath thedrifts
OF snow that blew down from the hills. At
times the back road was quite abandoned,
leaving the old man and the girl shut off
from the rest Of the world.
10 make matters worse, Uncle Dan'l
was not very well, for the time was past
when he could welcome cold weather and
enjoy 1t. Still he was brave, and he tried
to be cheerful for the sake of Jennie, whom

Nat was Mortified. On the bed the sick
man was muttering deliriously Of his army

ogniZe him.
1t was late that afternoon when Uncle
Dan1 became himself once more, to find the
village doctor by his bed, with Jennie and
Nat close at hand. The old soldier looked
long and steadily ut the young man, and
then he family said:

With the weeping girls loving kiss on

the racing season in this State closes

comfortably filed, there being an I'M
usually large sprinkling of the fair sex

The weather was perfect for the
sport. The track was still soft and
sticky from the recent rains. but as
the day wore on 1t dried out perceptibly.
