WOODSTOCK. VT. SATURDAY. OCTOBER |. 1898

his heart beating fast and his head
held high US he fell involuntarily into
the familiar marching step.
1t was droll sight as the black silk
skirt did its best to keep up with the
smart. blue trousered legs, and the
cavalcale made merry as it advanced.
Mrs. Barlow heard it approaching,
and filed with presentiments hurried
to the door to behold horrible carica-
turs of herself trudging along in the
centre or squad of militia. For one
moment she felt faint aud sick at heart,
then with sudden rush of certainty,
the truth dawnel upon her, and tremb-
ling, she ran down the pash and met
the procession at the gate. She seized
Billy, and hustled him unceremon:-
ously inside; and returning, still at
white heat, addressed herself to the
captain:
80 you've got him in spite Of me!
Well, take him, if you want him.
suppose his body's good enough to
shoot at if he amt got any mind to
speak of. But it's wicked, wicked
thing"
Her voice quivered and broke.
The young officer grew sober in an
instant.
"You are mistaken, Mrs. Barlow"
he said. "We do not want your hus-
band We are only bringing him home
safely to you, for he might well meet
with insult in such a dress. But don't
lock him up again. He deserves bet
ter things. He is hero, and has won
the first victory of the war!'
With which perplexing speech the
men broke into new laughter
"'Bout facet Forward! March,"
cried the captain, and they wheeled
away.
1t was some time before Billy's ward
robe was replenished with modern
garments, for his wife happened to
think of some OF his old army duds put
away in the attic, and to his intense
delight he found himself again wear
ing the dear old blue. The next morn
ing, when Company @ passed by on
it's way to camp, he stood at the gate
in a ragged uniform which had been
on more than one hard-fought field,
and when the men caught sight of him,
a ringing cheer went up for Billy Bar
low. Poor old Billy! He never
guessed the truth, but thought they
were cheering for the flag, and when it's
stars and stripes went marching along
before his eyes again to the stirring
sound of fife and drum, he put his
grizzled head down ON the messy gate
post and cried like baby.
And all the while, Mis- Barlow, with
set lips and ears that refused to hear,
sat iu the kitchen mending the three.
cornered tear in her black silk skirt.
1t was matter Of history. Boston
