The Globe-republican., 1901-05-30

Raymond had just been over to the
hall with his basket of flowers, mostly,
from the woods and fields
Decoration day always found him on
hand; and although his contribution
was simple, he was glad to be able
to do even a little toward furnishing
material for this touching memorial
service.
Raymond was the grandson of vet
eran of the civil war, and this year he
usual to let the old friends of the
grandfather whom he had never
known understand his loyalty. both to
his grandfather's memory and the
country that he had died for.
Suddenly he remembered old tat
the attic. and beside it musket,
rusty and time-stained. Then he
looked at Rover.
Can you do it. Rover?'' Raymond
eyes asked the question. The soft
brown eyes of the dog answered, TRY
me-
"A1 right, Rover. 1 will
Rover's tail ceased its impatient tat
too upon the floor, and with yelp of
delight he followed his master up the
attic stairs. Half hour later the
boy and the dog sat side by side upon
the doorstep. The boy held a fiat
piece of wood in one hand and his
jack-knife in the other. Occasionally
he lifted a faded flag, and slipped the
end of the worn stick through a hole
which he was whiting in the new
piece of wood
At last he sprang to his feet, say
ing, "All ready now, Rover! Do you
think you hold that in your
mouth?''
Rovers' eyes said, "Of course I
cant as his tail gave three excited
thumps. Good, faithful Rover! Ray
mond knew that he could be depend
ed upon to be his color-bearer. Now

for his own part in the program.
The sound of approaching footsteps
and beat of a drum f1oated up to
the spot where the boy and the dog
were making ready to honor their
country's fallen heroes.
From a window of the cottage a pair
of tear-dimmed eyes watched the
strange preparations.
Raymond hastily donned an old sol
der cap, and ShOuldered the rusty gun.
lie hoped that he looked Ike a sol
der. Rover's admiring eyes assured
him that he did
Now, Rover" said Raymond, pat
ting the dogs head, I'm going to let
you hold the flag
Rover never was happier than when
he could carry a bundle; but this was
such an unexpected privilege that for
a second or two the Flagstaff veered
like a weather-vane with each delight
ed thump of his stub of a tail Then
seeing his masters motion1ess attitude
Rover took pattern; and as the little
company of veterans drew near. the
cOlOr-bearer and his master attracted
instant attention.
Every man in Company c loved Ray
mand; loved him for his own sake,
for he was a bright and 1ovable boy,
and also for the sake of the brave com
rade who had marched with them
through many a weary campaign, and
at last had given his life for his coun-
try.
There was a quick order from the
front, and instantly every man lifted
his hat, and the band struck up the

did upon such happy occasions. At
last Grace stopped suddenly and said:

not to be mean, too. and tbs awful

it's most as bad as stealing for US to
take it all. Come on I'm going back
And away she went on run, with
Nellie following as fast as she could at
her heels.
The boys had not missed them yet,
and so they knew nothing Of the girls
intended treachery. They seemed to
have recovered their usual good
humor; and it was a very merry little
party that started a few moments later
for the woods. What good times they
did have that day. What treasures of
woodland wealth they found, How
good the lunch did taste, and what fun
it was to eat it out there under the
green trees all alone Yes. it was a
long, glad, beautiful day. They en-
loved every moment of it, and STAYED
Just as long as they dared But at last
they decided that they must start for
home, for there were the flowers to ar
range yet, and there would be but little
time to spare if they hoped to finish
their tasks that night. 1t was even
later than they mad thought, they
found, when they came to the edge
of the woods and saw how low the
sun had SUNK. So they hurried along
as fast as they could. When they came
to the fallen tree upon which they had
crossed the noisy little creek in the
morning, perhaps they were a little
careless, and when it came Ne11ie's

FOR a SUMMER RESORT.

TORONTO, Ohio. February 30
The dream of Toronto and Steuben-
VILE people, after many years, seems
about to be realized.
Browns Island, probably the pref
test natural spot on the Ohio river,
has always Beer a favorite picnic re-
sort for Steubenville and Toronto peo-
pie and has been dear to the heart of
lovers of nature when sultry summer
DAYS made the island seem a veritable
Eden with its green trees n river
kissed groves. AS 1t Is in mld-rlver
and the hills rear their heads heaven
ward from the shores of the river on
either side, barely giving a resting
place for the road beds that pass on
the mainland, it was really only easily
accessible by river. What was Needed
to make it the most popular resort was
modern rapid transit. This now is as
sured as the Steubenville Traction
Company has all rights of way for a
line running from Steubenville past
the island to Toronto.
On Saturday the Steubenyille Coun-
| Gil granted the last concession for the
lsinter-urban Toronto-Steubenville line,
this being a loop coming down Mar
ket street. The Toronto franchise
was secured months ago
This company now needs just such
a summer resort as Browns Island
will make to increase their traffic and
the best authority obtainable says that
negotiations are about being closed
for the purchase of the island, and its
natural advantages will be at once
enhanced by all the adjuncts of a sum-
mer resort and that no expense will
be spared to make it the finest in east
ern Ohio or West Virginia.
The Steubenville and Mingo Trac-
ton Company, a rival line, has a park
south of Steubenville called Alta
mont. The S~teubenville Traction
Company has practically unlimited
capital. Browns Island was above the
"a flood. Much comment has been
made through various papers in years
past concerning the d%esirability of the
island as an ideal resort and it now
seems a reality.
1t is easily accessible from Wheel
ing, a distance of 27 miles, by river
or the C. & P. or Panhandle railways.

United States Minister Conger's re-
