Then Bill Blodgett, with an exprrs-
sion on his face that was new to Sammy,
put on the battered blue, placed the cap
above his thin. gray locks, adjusted the
lnapsack, shouldered the musket.
Now, indeed, thoughts of Dave Simp-
son crowded TO the front. How proud
~ he and Dave had tramped away to-
gether in their army blue. Others had
gone with them. Who had returned?
Only himself and Dave. How they had

It's excitement in every tense muscle.

lence ensued till Simpson broke it:
Say. Billy. let's wear the old uniform to
the tiag-raising tomorrow"
Seems if'twould be the proper thing
to do" responded Mr.. Blodgett.
That was all. Not Il smile, not a
hand-shake, not a word Of repentance;
yet the miracle of reconciliation had
been wrought. And ut the celebration
on Memorial day the two veterans were
present in their faded, eloquent uni
forms. No speeches came from their
lips, for their hearts were too full. but
Sammy spoke up good and loud"
enough to redeem the loss, and the flag
was raised by Blodgett and Simpson,
pulling together on the rope. Then,
at another pull from little Polly, it
trembled, fluttered and flung its glory
to the welcoming breeze, while the chill
dren cheered with n will, and their
elders softly, with something Juggling

This vas the first common interest
of their lives. Sammy felt he was find

How good and loud" he would speak

Mr.. Blod@ett, in his turn, tried his
utmost to keep Dave Simpsons name
out of his "reminiscences. lie fought
against it ali the more because he was
conscious of strange and tender renewal

INTERESTING RELICS.
The History of a Ring Found on the Bat
tic Field at Manassas.

Although more than % years have
elapsed since the first and second bat
ties Of Manassas, interesting articles
arc still found by the relic seeker. Only
I few days ago friends found shells
containing powder, pieces of cantcens
and whole hayonets. But | write 20
mention 4 most peculiar and interest
ing find. \ young man, Laws Spencer,
living on The old Logon farm tCathar-
pin !. o. picked up Il ring in the ia
NOUS Deep Cut, which has = history.
The ring is Of good gold, with a blood
stone scroll intaGlio. The motto Oh
it is Sic itur aG astra." Around the
scroll is V. NJ. l.. and ut the base 4 pen
and sword crossed. Inside is engraved:
'Onc Of the go. c. Henderson, July,
1873" Ny friends tried 20 purchase
it. but he refused several large bids.
With some care we have tried to reach

tendent of V. VI. l., says: 20. c. Hen

the needle in the haystack," but this
finding goes ahead oi that. 1t is very
strange that this ring should be found
at all. but strikingly strange il should
lie found so real the anniversary Of
that terrible battle. Our s~upposition
is that o. c. Henderson had 4 finger
shot off, and probably if search were
made he might find 4 long-lost bone.

tests. An officer wto was in the en-
