get close to it's own loved ones.
Fathers, mothers, sisters and broth
ers forgot all else except that their
own had come back, and as the swell
ing tide Of humanity rolled on toward
the great depot where heavily laden
tables groaned in waiting, it seemed
as if the surging waves would over
whelm the stately edifice in their i'm
patience. All semblance of column
formation was lost, and at times it
looked as if no earthly power could
bring order out of the chaos which
reigned in the street. But gradually
the excess of emotion exhausted itself,
and slowly the long line was reformed
and the steady tramp resumed until
the steps leading into the grand nave
of, the building We're reached. Here
again were the scenes of the street en-
acted. The thronging relatives could
not bear to be parted even for few
minutes from those who had been so
long away, and hysterical rushes were
made by women who forget everything
except that they wanted to feel again
the touch of the dear hand and look
again into the precious faces of those
who had gone forth to danger and had
been returned living and loving.
Tears and kisses, sobs and nervous
laughter. hugs and hand-clasps were
the vent of feeling, and slowly the
column was permitted to pass within
the portals where the feast spread by
loving hands awaited it,

once for the spectators who witnessed
the onslaught.
There were some late-comers to the
feast, notably Colonel Duboce and
Chaplain McKinnon, who had been de-
tanned outside by the press of people
desirous of clasping their hands. They
got through at last, flanked by other
members of the regimental staff, and
as they went down TO the officers
table they were loudly cheered all
along the line. Notwithstanding their
rank hunger gnawed at their vitals as
it did at those of the high private, and
they stretched their legs under the
board with avidity.
At the head of the central table were
seated Mayor Phelan and A. NJ. Law
renee of the citizens executive COM
mittee, Mr.. and Mrs. John f. Merrill,
Mrs w. B. Harrington, Congressman
and Mrs. julius Kahn, Judge and Mrs.

ascended two by two to the grand nave,
to be met by still other relatives than
those from whom they had been sepa-
rated below, by brothers and sisters,
sweethearts and wives; to be kissed and
hugged and patted again and thumped;
to be laurel wreathed and cheered, and
to be seated at table, Mars magnifed
many hundred times, and served by
bevies of pretty girls. Home again?
Well, they should smile. Anything
like it anywhere else in the whole, wide
world? Nit!
And while those that had ascended
first were mingling with the happy
crowds, and while still others of the
regiment and the batteries were slowly
parting from the throngs below. the
ladies in charge of the breakfast ar
rangements were putting the finishing
touches on the longest tables on earth.
There were six of them, three in the
north wing and three in the south wing
of the eastern corridor. each five hun
dred feet long. In the central space,
connecting with the grand nave through
the great raised doorways, were ar
ranged at right angles short tables for
the officers and for the Mayor and in
vited guests. To the rear of these, sep
arated from the eager crowds in the
north and south corridors Of the great
nave by high grills, was an orchestra.
The tables were artistically decorated.
Cloths of spotless white stretched as
far as the eye could see. Above them
were masses of flowers, festooned ever
greens and dropping ferns. Each Of
fourteen sections, marked by a silken
banner lettered to correspond with the
letter of the company or battery for
which it had been set apart, bore in
its center an elaborate floral piece rep
resenting guns stacked. The table to
the east of the center, reserved for
Colonel Duboce and other officers, was
specially decorated. Hanging on the

mental band, which had come in dur
ing the breakfast, played a selection
while the boys were again exchanging
greetings with their new-found friends
and readjusting their belts to the new
conditions beneath. Miss Preciosa
Pracht, whose brother is a member of
Company NJ, First California Volun-
teers, was heard on the cornet in
number of patriotic airs, accompanied
by the Coloradans.
BY this time it was half-past 10
o'clock, the hour set for the starting
of the triumphal march through the
city, and the men, broken up into
groups by their friends and relatives,
made their way downstairs, to be
greeted again by waiting crowds, to
be kissed and patted, Rugged and
thumped and pelted with flowers and
cheered and cheered again. 1t needed
not the sign of Welcome" on the ferry
front to let them know they were.

Inscription, "You will find us ready"
The arrangement of napery, glass and
china was as tasteful as could be, and
the general effect was heightened adj
mirably by the soft morning light
streaming through the wealth Of win
dows facing the bay. To serve the
members of each company had been
assigned, or rather had been selected
from any number of volunteers, a num-
Der of pretty young women, relatives
of the soldiers they were so glad to see
again. They were on hand even be-
fore the boys had marched on to the
cobbles of East street, making ready
for their coming, and as dearly as they
would have loved to mingle in the
crowd to greet the loved ones they held
their desires in allegiance, comforting
themselves with the knowledge that
they would soon have them for their
very own, for an hour at least, far
from the smothering throng. They
could hear the hum Of the happy voices
outside, and they knew their time was
coming. The ladies in charge of the
various tables were:
Company A-Mrs. S. Bert, Miss Dusen-
berry, Mrs Dunn
Company B-Mrs. Baird, Mrs. Proul,
Mrs Kneil, Miss Knell.

Laurel wreaths for the glory they had

was a Gathering Of dishes, cInklng
