across the intervening driveway and
the lawns to the Hale mansion, where
all 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 a tender kiss and a 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 prone to be profane,
with all a strong mans impatience of
pain, than to feel complacent over
any hero-worship which might fall
to his lot.
But when he recognized Clarissa-
ah, 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 grill

Sweetheart! What?" he inquired
in wonder.
"I-am-going-to-give = Fiine-
away! That is, when 7 can find a good
home for her, you know!"
Capt Hale laughed, but only men
tally.
"Not a bit of it, d~earest!" he de-
clared. "Why, I owe that little beast
an unboundeddebt of gratitude! She's
brought about a 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 un%injured 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
r%ender!" she added, with no par
ticular evidence of resentment or re-
greet.

questioned, half believing her admis-
sion too good to be true.

How Peruna Quickly Cures Backache.
the Bane of Womankind.
INT RS. G. w. HEARD, Hampstead
wi Texas, writes:
I'VE have moved recently, and
I must have lifted something that was
too heavy for me in Strengthening
things up, for I had such a backache
M could hardly stand on my feet All
all. Beside, I was SO tired all the time
My face was spotted and 1 was very
thin. I took one bottle of Peruna and
was soc real well. When I feel tired
and all run down I take Peruna and
feel all right before I finish one bot.
tie. l know it is a wonderful medicine,
and both myself and husband praise
Peruna.
There has been a great deal of sick
ness through this part of the country,
but, thanks to Peruna, which we use
freely, our own family has escaped
with almost no sickness at all.
Gould you but see our baby Ruby
Ito whom we gave Peruna for bowel
trouble), you would see from her
robust looks that you need no better
advertisement in this little town. She
is so fat and rosy, is nearly five years
old now, and is a great believer in
Peruna."-Mrs. G. w. Heard.

against her. She weighed about 100
pounds when she was in good health.
When she commenced with our family
physician in April, 1898, she weighed
about 100, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ga, and
took treatment, but it did her no good,
Then she went to Harmony Grove, Ca,
and took treatment from the best
physician there for three months.
She kept going down under his treat
ment, although he was considered the
best physician in the county. She
went down from'130 pounds to 6S, and
we saw she could not live long. She
was a skeleton. We consulted an old
physician who told her to use Peruna.
She gradually improved and got
stronger. She has gained 38 pounds
since she has taken Peruna, and is
gaining every day, and does her own
housework.
"She was well known when she was
SO low, n now everybody wants to
know what cured her. She had in
digestion and catarrh of the stomach.
1t is as good for children as for grown
people. We haven't had to have a doc

Honoring the Soldier Deaa

The heroism of those whose graves
we decorate, whether they be "The
boys of 81" or the "Boys of '9s,"is one
of the bright jewels in the diadem that
crown the brow of American liberty.
1t is part OF the heritage of every child
born beneath our flag. Therefore, in
honoring the men who died for the
flag we add to the Inheritance of the
millions yet to come, for in giving tes-
timony to. the courage and loyalty of
the men who sleep in soldiers graves,
we enhance the nations glory and
render the name of American citizen
of still more priceless value.-Detroit

Where the sunshine robes in Splendor's
agarb a multitude of graves;
To the music of the river as it flows I'M
veXed and free,
Bearing outward to the nations freedom S
latest prophecy,
March a people, Fame's descendants, with
the summers sweetest bloom,
Which the dew shall crown with glory on
the hero's silent tomb.
In the sunburst of the morning, every
loyal heart to thrill,
Come the echoes of the muskets that were
heard at Bunker Hill;
And the roses and the lilies in the shadow
and the shine
Lie on the breasts of those who stood one
day at B~randywine;
Meath the hemlockS and the cedarS, meath
the vines that greet the sun.
The Continentals sleep beside the Men of
81;
And the country, reunited by a love that
can't be told,
Sees the modest flower blooming in the
cannon rutS of old.
Down the street, beloved by thousands,
march the veterans, old and gray
The comrades of the brave who rest this
fair Memorial day,
And they bring May'ssweetest blossoms to
the boys who with them stood,
Where often ragged the battle fierce deep
in the Southern wood;
No more the ringing bugle blast, no more
the c%annon's roar,
No more the gloomy picket post along the
ghostly shore;
But side by side this sacred day beneath
the spreading tree,
With elbows touching. silent stand the
men of Grant and Lee.
Columbia walks the guarded aisles with
soft and holy tread
Where fall the shades of Arlington above
her hero dead;
Not long ago she stood and heard the
dirge's mournful strain
Ger those who came in martial shrouds
from Cuba's un-kiss plain;
AND from her hands the brightest bloom
that decks the field and void
Falls gently on the bosoms of the tender
and the bold;
And silent tears are falling from the far
thest northern pine
To where the golden orange hangs above
the oceans line.
Bring the fairest of the blossoms to re-
crown the hero's tomb!
For this kind nature proudly yields the
s]plendor of her bloom;
The skies are bright above us and the river
sings its lay,
One Flag, one Country and one Love the
Nation knows to-day;
We crown the humblest and the great,
alike the flowers fall
With prayer and love and gratitude upon
the. breasts of all;
All, me! The drums are beating, for the
flowers lave been spread,
Ant we march to newer grandeur from
the bivouac of our dead.

form;" the girl meditated with bitter
ness, as she peered through the sash
curtains in jealous inspection of his
every movement. "Horrid 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.
II 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 I'M
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 Fifine, 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
memory of Antietam; and this fur
nished the girl a 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, Fifne!" 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"
1t was evening when she heard him
return. Black Don wa 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, well, Clar-
issa never knew exactly how it hap
pened: but of a sudden there was a
mad rush of a little white bundle OF
silky hair from the porch, the de-
fiant 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 90 healthy years, she tainted.
That fact remains yet her own in
violable secret; for nobody rtncm-
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
Fifine 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.

proved Such a pleasant me-. AS the
weeks went by there was joy in both
households yer 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 propin-
guilty, of the sympathy and under
standing which existed between them,
of a community of tastes and inter-
ests. Together they marveled at the
miracle of life through death, in
opening bud, and leaf, and flower;
but S far nc word of love had been
spoken between them They were
young; there was no need of haste.
1t was the s%pringtide of life, as well
as the s%pringtide 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 f1oWer-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 fattery. When Robert
Hale heard her opinions and comments
upon the causes of a contest which wa
fast becoming merely a 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.

My father was wounded at the battle

he said, teasingly, as he stood gazing
at her with a fondness which she
haughtily ignored. GLOW ever did il
happen hat you should have the blue
eyes, while mine should be the gray?'
AS Memorial day approached, how.

~undeniably serious. The older mem.
bers of both households smiled, and
shook their heads knowingly, and
moralized on the inevitableness OF

pool, says cable rates would be kept
high, and cable Users have to pay a
high tariff to benefit Eastern Extension

cable on a basis OF purely artificial
profitableness. 1t would be far cheaper
and more honest to let the Pacific cable
run on its merits, the Governments
concerned footing whatever bills ac-
crued because 1t did not pay The pub
lie are always willing to pay in a pro-

wonder is that the Pacific Board, which
