Well, the long and the short of it was
that Mike he enlisted in Company Il.
and the boys passed by the hotel on their
way to the front. never saw such q
time in Joliet before or since. The
whole regiment went past right down
this street, Maria. There were more
than 1000 men. The sun was a.shining
on their new guns and brass buttons
and flags were flying, the bands playing
and everybody was singing The Star
Spangled Banner The sidewalk was
packed with people solid as box of
clothespins. This piazza was packed.
Every window in the hotel was crowd
ed. Standing right here on the top step
right where my cane is pointed-was
Ellen Halloran with her baby in her
arms. She didn't pay any attention to
the music or the flags or the shouting.
She was looking for her Mike, and she
saw him, too, before I could have seen
him with telescope, and as she caught
sight of him she pointed him out to the
baby, saying:
There he is alannal Dye see
him there in the front rankP Oh, the
brave lad Give way, there, you, and
lave me at himl Lave me at him !
Mebbe I'll never see him againl'
Maria, the crowd opened in front of
her as mower cuts grass. They made
a lane for her to pass through as If she
was princess. She ran out alongside

crowd. -
"well," )" said Maria, .'what became
of Halloran?" jogging her husband
again OUT of his reminiscent dream.
Yes, yes; excuse me, Maria. Well,
I did not hear anything from Mike for
three years. Then his regiment came
back. Half of the men were left on the
battlefield or in the hospital Some of
them had legs, others had arms miss
ing. There was no band to make music
for their marching feet, the flags were
torn and smoke stained, and there was
no cheerlng.
But what of Halloran?" said Maria
impatiently. "Was he there?"
"Oh, yes, he was there. He was

missing. Ellen had disappeared. new
or knew where she went 20. I did hear
that she ran away with some other man,
but 1 never knew if the story was true.
Anyway Mike enlisted and went away
again. That was the second time 1 saw
him. Last Sunday, Maria, took a
stroll through the cemetery on the hill.
One of the slopes is covered entirely
with soldiers graves. 1t looked to me
as if there must be a whole regiment
asleep there. There wasn't anybody
around there throwing forgetmenots on
the graves, as could see, Maria. My
eyes amt as good as they used to be,
but-I couldn't see no monuments reach
ing up to tell how them poor fellows
had died. But in one Of the paths be-
tween the gravestones saw sort of
blackboard stuck up, and put on my
specs, and I read these lines, printed on
the blackboard:

statement was probably erroneous in

departure of Commodore Watson s eastern

The Commodore has reported to the

and is consulting with Admiral Sampson
respecting the details of the cruise, which
it is expected, will occupy fully four
months, providing the war lasts that
