might be too late!"
But Clarissa was by no means happy
in what she glorified as her adherence
to principle. She was fearfully and
pathetically lonely, and she tried not
to hear when the black horse and his
rider dashed down the driveway on
their way to the drills and parades.
which became so frequent with the
nearness of Memorial day.
The misunderstanding had deepened
now; for there had been other and bit
ter words, and each studiously avoided
looking in the direction of the other
when they met, which was but rarely.
Fair as garden of the Lord was the
countryside upon the morning of
Memorial day; but Clarissa could see
no beauties in nature as she moped in
the sewing-room which overlooked the
driveway, contiding her unhappiness
to petted, snarling Fifine.
Out at the stable the groom was put
ting the saddle on Black Don-for the
coming parade, she knew; and pres
emily Robert appeared at the side door
carrying flag, which he proceeded to
run up the staff on the lawn.

fathers death, and that of her moth
err, which quickly followed. AS Aunt
Frances said, America had grown too
fast FOR her.
There had been many changes in
the neighborhood during her alb
sence. On what had been Grand
mother Owings' old-fashioned flower
garden a handsome modern dwelling
had been erected, and the two fam
lilies used the dividing driveway in
common. Down this driveway, sew
eral times each day, an athletic young
man was wont to 60, laden with golf
sticks, riding a wheel, armed with gun
or fishing tackle, or erect upon the
back of a spirited black horse, which
from the first had been Fifne's es-
pecial detestation. AS in another
celebrated and classical case, the
neighborhood caused their acquaint-
ance in the first steps of love. Even
England and France could produce

hood than was Robert Hale, as Clar-
issa was forced to admit to her un-
willing self.
Perhaps that was why the winter
which followed her homecoming

across the intervening driveway and
the lawns to the Hale mansion, where
oil was sorrow at the mishap which
had followed the glorious beginning
of the day.
Clarissa expected reproaches from
Robert Hale's mother, but instead she
received tender kiss and q caress,
and the two elder women consider
ately remained in the reception hall,
while the penitent girl went half-re-
luctantly into the library, where, in
the subdued light, she discerned the
stricken hero propped up among sofa
pillows on the couch-it must be con-
fessed more prone to be profane,
with all strong mans impatience of
pain, than to feel complacent over
any hero-worship which might fall
to his lot.
But when he recognized Clarissa-
ali, that was another story! And he
was craftily moved to magnify his
hurt, and to work upon her tender
sympathies, until-well, in a lovers
quarrel the angle of reflection is al
ways equal to the angle of incidence.
In an incredibly short time that
wicked Robert had become surpris-
ingly cheerful, especially since Clar-
issa's face was somehow very near
his own, and his heart was melting
to feel her tears upon his cheek, and
she was softly calling him dear"
and whispering out her penitence.
He was amazed to hear her con-
fess, sorrowfully: 81 have been a
wicked and an unreasonable girl!
And to prove how repentant I am,

the supreme sacrifice for you!"
"Sweetheart! What?" he inquired
in wonder.
"I-am-going-to-give - Fifine-
away! That is, when I can find good
home for her, you know!"
Capt Hale laughed, but only men
tally.
"Not a bit of it, dearest!" he de-
clared. "Why, I owe that little beast
an unbounded debt of gratitude! She's
brought about victory bigger than
-than-Gettysburg, Clarissa!"
This was a mischievous thrust, but
the girl was too much in earnest to
notice or resent it.
"a victory won by force of arms
or rather of an ARM" the malicious
fellow continued, doing yeoman serv-
ice with the uninjured member. You
are mine, aren't you, you little
rebel?"
Her tears had suddenly ceased to
flow now, and she was smiling,
though somewhat pathetically, and
unlike the familiar, proud Clarissa.
II suppose I must acknowledge my
self vanquished," she sighed, ''as my
ancestors did! And that I must sur
render!" she added, with no par
ticular evidence of resentment or re-
gret.

questioned, half believing her admis-

HONOR THE HEROES.
It IL Fitting That We Should Cher.
ish the Memory of Those Who
Died for Their Cause.

If Egypt built pyramids to honor
the memory of her tyrannical kings,
it is fitting that America should keep
green the memory of those who died
in defense of the liberty our ancestors
won by battling against king. What
other nation has such good cause for
honoring it's heroes as America?
We would have our children learn
the lesson of patriotism which comes
from the bivouac, the tedious march
and the battlefield. We would have
them emulate the self-sacrifice Of
those men who so cheerfully left the
office, the shop, the counting-room or
the plow to show their loyalty by
fighting, if need be, dying, for their
country. Whether they fought be-
meath the stars and stripes or beneath
the southern cross, they fought for
what they conceived to be the
right, and sealed their loyalty with
their blood
The destinies of nations are shaped
by those who fight and die at their
country's call. History is written in
But the manhood of nation is formed
by the hand that rocks the cradle. So
long as American mothers teach their
sons that the greatest possible priv
ilege and the highest honor is to fight
forcountry,itss safety and its honor, so
long shall we have a nation in which
honor, chivalry, glory and patriotism
shall dominate. Would we check the
greed for wealth and power and stop
the mad career of mammon worship,
let us encourage the cultivation of
high ideals and lofty ambitions. Let
us cherish the memory of our dead
heroes, and while we minister to the
necessities of the living let us not for
get the dead, but as each recurring
Memorial day rolls round let us scat
ter flowers above the sacred dust and
renew our tributes of admiration and
gratitude.-Gen. Joseph Wheeler, in
Detroit Free Press.

proved such pleasant one. AS the
weeks went by there was JOY in both
households over the very evident in
terest which the young people took
in each other. They were not aware
of the plans for their future which
Aunt Frances so frequently discussed
with Roberts widowed mother. In
fact, they were not conscious of much
beyond the joy of living, of propln-
guilty, of the sympathy and under
standing which existed between them,
of community of tastes and inter-
ests. Together they marveled at the
miracle of life through death, in
opening bud, and leaf, and flower;
but so far no word of love had been
spoken between them. They were
young; there was no need of haste.
It was the springtide of life, as well
as the springtide of the year. But
Hard if these
Found not a way to show their secret each
to each;
And so they did;
And one hearts flower-dust into the other
slid.
That Clarissa, imperious and exact
ing with all others, should be sweetly
submissive to him, was, in itself, the
most subtle flattery. When Robert
Hale heard her opinions and comments
upon the causes of a contest which was
fast becoming merely tradition, he
only smiled indulgently, lenient to
them, as he would have been lenient
to any whimsical fancies on the part
of the woman whom he loved.
The first clashing of their wills came
late in the spring, when Robert was
offered and accepted the office of cap
tain of the newly-organized company
of Sons of Veterans. He was surprised
and amused at the imperiousness with
which Clarissa drew herself up, proud
as another Juno, and condemned his
act.
mo man could Offer me more dead
" hurt" she announced, tragically.
INV father was wounded at the battle
of Belmont. Those wounds ultimate
ly caused his death. Who knows that
your very father wasn't the northern
er who shot him!"
"And my father was wounded at
Petersburg" was the solemn response.
"For the rest of his life he went around
with only one arm. 1t seems like your
father might have fired the shot which
deformed one of the handsomest men
that ever lived"
She knew that he was purposely
mimicking her affected use of the
southern like; but she would not un-
bend. He leaned his arm over Black
Don's glossy neck, and regarded her
mischievously.
"What an irony of fate, Clarissa!'
he said, teasingly, as he stood gazing
at her with a fondness which she
haughtily ignored. "How ever did 1t
happen that you should have the blue
eyes, while mine should be the gray?"
AS Memorial day approached, how
ever, the breach between them grew
undeniably serious. The older menu
| bers of both househo lds smiled, and
shook their heads knowingly, and
moralized on the inevitableness Of
lovers quarrels. Aunt Frances rasn-
| " took it upon herself to demonstrate
with her niece, for Robert was her spe-
cial favorite, and She could not bear
to have him made unhappy by Claris-
| sa's caprices. She was unprepared,
however, for the rebuff which she met.
"Please don't ever mention Mr..
Hale's name to me again, Aunt
Frances. I have found him out-An

ness, as she peered through the sash
curtains in jealous inspection of his
every movement. 'IIorrid thing! 1t
wouldn't hurt him to at least glance
in this direction"
But Robert was evidently too busy
and it irritated the watcher as he be-
gan to whistle softly, and then to
sing in an absent-minded fashion, as
he bent over a knot in the halyards:
There's just one girl in the world for me-"
Oh, was she the girl? Clarissa
asked herself feverishly; but there
was no one to answer the ques-
ton only Fifine, who yawned lazily and
snapped at the lace upon her mistress
sleeves.
Il could be happy forever with just one
girl!'
Robert kept on singing with
cruel JUNCTION as he stood back and
watched the folds of Old Glory un-
furl, as they blew out from the mast
head, catching the soft May breeze.
Then Clarissa could bear it no longer.
She buried her face in the couch cush-
ions and found refuge in that relief
for all feminine woes-a good cry;
while Fifne, disturbed in her morning
nap, whined dismally.
Such an exasperating day as it
proved! There were bands and mill
tary companies, and everywhere the
stars and stripes were flying. Grand
father was in bed, suffering from a
new ache in his wounded shoulder-a
memory of Antietam; and this fur
nished the girl pretext for keeping
all the shutters closed and making
theirs the only dismal house along the
avenue as the parade went by. With
white face and set lips she hid behind
the blind, and sadly followed with
fearful eyes the erect figure of Capt.
Hale as he rode past at the head of his
company.
"Oh, Fifine!" she murmured, sor-
rowfully. II always knew that he
was proud. But at least he might
have glanced at the house, if not at
met"
It was evening when she heard him
return. Black Don was proud,
though weary after the heat and con-
fusion of the day, and turned slowly
in between the high stone gate posts
of the driveway-and then, we'll, Clar-
issa never knew exactly how it hap
pened; but of sudden there was a
mad rush of little white bundle OF
silky hair from the porch, the de-
faint yaps and snarls of Fifine as
she snapped at the black horses feet,
and Capt. Hale, caught off his guard,
had been thrown by the shying horse,
striking his head against the cruel
edge of the big stone post. That
was the last of which Clarissa was
conscious. Then, for the first time in
her % healthy years, she tainted.
That fact remains yet her own in
violable secret; for nobody rtnlcm-
bered her during the excitement
which followed. After a time she
"came to-" and, athletic golf girl
that she was. felt properly ashamed
of her own weakness. Then it was
that she learned the worst. Malicious
Fifipe had frightened Black Don, and
Capt Hale was ingloriously lyirg on
the library couch, with his right arm
in splints, and an ugly cash upon his
right temple.

Y EZZZZ2M1 her, was forced to
W admit that. Aunt
Frances used to shake her dear, white
head, and sigh mildly. 1.-THE child has
stayed abroad too long," she would
say. "Her brain is filled with old
world notions. Conditions have
changed, and America has grown too
fast for her"
But when they attempted to re-
monstrate with Clarissa, that i'm
perious young person would get into
q towering rage
''Then there is no such thing as
principle?" she would inquire, with
whitening sarcasm. You didn't lose
most of your property to the ma
rauding northerners! You weren't
forced to come from your own dear
Maryland to this cold, bleak New
England! You didn't bring your
slaves along, after you had freed them
of your own accord! Although most
of them insisted upon remaining with
you-to their credit. You're not my
Grandfather Colonel because of your
bravery at Antietam! You didn't sac
rifice your only son, my father, to
the lost cause! His death didn't kill
my grandmother and my mother! Oh,
no! I must have dreamed it ALL"
"My dear! my dear!" grandfather
would demonstrate, sadly. God
knows I acted as I thought best; per-
haps I was mistaken. But conditions
are changed, and it is the part of wis
dow to conform to them"
"But the principle remains the
same, grandfather! would be the
proud response; and Clarissa would
weep a few obstinate tears upon the
silky hair of Fifne, the French
poodle which she had brought from
abroad, and which, all told, was a
most detestable little beast. "Fifine,
darling, we belong to the Owings fam
lily, of Maryland, don't we, pet? And
what do we think of the star-span-
gled banner?' and then Flfine would
snarl and whine viciously, while her
pretty mistress caressed and en-
covaged her.
Grandfather was distressed, but he
was forced to smile at the absurdity
Of it all. ITO be rebel has gone out
of fashion, my DEAR" he would say,
deprecatingly; but Clarissa continued
to regard herself as an alien, to heap
fresh flowers daily before the pic
ture of her beloved Winnie Davis, as
before a shrine; to quote Father
Ryan's stanzas upon the lost cause,
and to Defy the Lees and other he
roes of the confederacy.
