comment. He was shown at Palmyra

ever shown. He is Kentucky stock on
both sides. For pedigree call at

hands with them all and thank
ed them, and then he stood with
mother in the porch-alone-
He could not see her face dis
tinctly for the mist across bis
eyes; and the next moment he
and father were walking quiet
ly down the drive, along which
the dogcart was going slowly
forward to await them at the
gates beyond Father remark
ed that the new gamekeeper
was giving satisfaction, and
that there was every prospect
of the covers yielding better
sport the next autumn.
We shall have you home
again before then. my boy" he
said.
Rather, sir!' answered Bob;
1--WE shall not take long to set
tie this little affair
At the lodge, the gameekeep-
er's four boys were standing in
a row. They had three corner
ed paper hats on their heads
and wooden swords in their
hands, and they greeted Bob
with sundry salute and hurrahs,
And Bob laughed, and gave
them penny each, You must
keep up your drilling" he said.
I'VE shall be wanting new
recruits in the regiment by and
by"
And then the gate was opened
aud Bob climed to the back seat
of the car. Far away at the
house something futtered white
from a windop, and Bob took
out his handkerchief and signal
led back again. Then the boys
cheered afresh. and the trap
turned into the lane. and home
was already a thing of the past.
AS they drove through the
village there was not a doorway
that had not some one standing
on the threshold to bid him
Godspeed.
""Tis the young squire off to
the war" they cried one to the
other, and the mems eyes fash
ed and their voices rose: but
the women's eyes filled with
tears as they saw him drive
past. God keep him." they
said, land comfort his mothers
heart" For they knew that the
men gave willingly their lives
for their county, but that the
gift of the women was some
thing dearerthan life.
And all the while Bob's heart
was singing to him: be did not
know that the song had come
down to him from the long ago
when the Sea Kings had gone
forth with their battle songs to
be the terror conquerors of dis
tant lands. He did not know;
but so it was, and twas a good
ly heritage, of which Bob in his
Joy and Impotence reckd little
So the station was reached
and the last goodby spoken;
and father grasped Bob's hand.

And Bob's face flushed THANK

husky voice; 'and-my love-to
