the drumsticks were beating out the

A moment more, and the rattle of
wagon coming down stony slope in
the road was heard. Then there was a
cheer, and the fife and drum changed to
yankee Doodle. " Presently the wagon,

Separate Receiver for Oregon Short Line
Gives Them New Territory.
DENVER, May 29.-The separate re-
ownership of the Oregon Short line has
been a theme of great interest to railway
men of Colorado for months. Now that
it is contaminated, Salt Lake City will be
made the headquarters of the independ-
ent line to the northwest, and q large
territory will be thrown open to business
of Colorado lines, which has heretofore
been served through Union Pacific chan
nels.
The Oregon gateway will be opened to
competition over the Rio Grande West
ern, Denver s. Rio Grande, Colorado
Midland, Rock Island, Santa Fe and
Missouri Pacific and the Burlington.
With the Union Pacific dominating the
long haul the lines named have largely
been shut out from local or through bus
mess in territory reached by the Oregon
Short Line.
Under a separate receiver the Short
Line is in position to accept business
on equal terms from all connecting roads
and railways leading through Colorado
and will not be slow to take advantage
of the opportunity. The soliciting force
of half dozen lines will now enter the
field against the Union Pacific.

From THE FRONT.

It was a two story frame house,
painted white and with green blinds,
and it stood a little way back from
the road that wound through a narrow
valley between low hills of second
growth timber. In front of the house
was a big, heavily fruited cherry tree.
A boy was perched upon a ladder
among the branches, filling tin pail
with the ruby fruit, his fingers flying as
if he were competing with the birds,
who seemed to think they had a mort
gage on all the cherries in the neighbor-
hood. But his haste had another cause
His mother had but moment before
told him that when he had filed the pail
three times he might go to the postoffice,
a mile farther down the valley, and in
quire for the mail.
The boy knew his mother to be quite
as anxious as he that the trip should be
made to the postoffice. For more than a
week his daily visit after the mail had
been fruitless, and he was certain she
was worrying, in spite of her usual air
of cheerfulness for the head of the lit
tie family was at the front. wearing a
blue uniform, and vague rumors were
afoat of a bloody battle in Pennsylva-
MIA.
Singularly enough, the mail had late
~ failed to bring newspapers, as we'll as
letters, and it had not been possible to
borrow from the neighbors as usual The
boy and his mother had not talked much
on the matter; but, whatever his mother
thought, he suspected bad news in the
papers-news that would explain why
there were no letters. He was impatient
to go to the postoffice, but he dreaded
the visit, too, and this made him climb
down the ladder slowly when at last
the pail was filed for the third time.
AS his feet touched the earth he heard
the rattle of wheels, and looking around
he saw Deacon Nelson's big bay horse
and decent black democrat wagon, driven
by the deacon himself, draw near. The
deacon's countenance, which was gen
orally smiling and jolly, was very SOL
emn now, and the face of the deacon
wife, who sat on the back seat under a

bingham parasol, was tear stained AS
the deacon slowly got out of the wagon
and tethered the horse he asked, with
fine show of cheerfulness:
''Has your mother heard from the
elder in day or two, John? No? Well,
Marthy and me was just driving by, and
we thought we'd make little visit, you
see, just to ask how your corn crop was
getting on, you know" Then, to his
wife in an undertone, he said: CHOW,
be careful, Marthy. It's all right; it's
all right. 1t must be all right, I tell
you"
The deacon was one of the chief pill
lars in the church of which the boys IA
ther, before going to the front had been
pastor, and, like all in that neighborhOod
and similar neighborhoods, the deacon
always spoke of his minister as 'the
elder This minister had been out
spoken in his patriotism during the first
year of the war. During the second he
had induced many of the neighborhood's
ablebodied men to enlist. Early in the
third he had himself marched away as
their captain, with the young men from
his own congregation who had offered
themselves to their country. If the boy
was doubtful about his father safety
before the deacon spoke, he was not aft
erward. 1t seemed to his young mind as
if the deacon has said between his audi
BILE words:
''The elder is killed, boyl Do you
hear? Killed."
John hurried into the house with his
pail of cherries, kissed his mother and
started on run for the postoffice. It
was a hot day, but he did not mind the
heat. It is doubtful if he knew it was
hot. He thought only of the bare posi-
bility that he might get a letter address
ed to his mother or himself in his IA
theirs dear handwriting, and he ran till
nature was exhausted and he had to
stop and rest under the shadow of a big
buttonball tree by the side of the road.
When he had regained his breath, he
started on again, but this time at
moro moderate pace, and as he ap-
preached the little general store where
the postoffice was kept his footsteps
Jagged. He was afraid he would receive
the same answer that he had for days.
Nothing today, sonny. Tell your
mother the papers missed this week.
No, there is no letter. I swan, wish
there was.
That was just the answer the boy did
receive when at last he crept into the
store between rows of two tined hay
forks and wooden hand rakes, but there
was this addition by the kindly old post
master to the dreaded words that told
the story of no mail:
'Tell your mother that we may get
another mail today, and if we do we'll
send anything that comes for you right
up"
There was no regular service to the
little postoffice, for no railroad ran
through the narrow valley, but the mail
was brought from the county seat, II
miles distant, at intervals by any one
who went that way.

The Duty of the Living.

Our duty would be very incompletely
done if we contented ourselves by mere

the past have given their lives to aid in
