away"
Land, get any kind of fowers!"
said the nurse. Get dandeuons, and
buttercups, if you can't find anything
else"
The old man took his hat down
with a bewildered air, and went
slowly out of the yard. At the gate
he paused and looked around. There
We're no flowers in the yard; there
We're several bushes, rose and phlox,
but it was too early for them to
blossom. Over at the left stretched a
field, and that was waving with green
and gold. Phebe AIMS husband went
over into the field and began pulling
the buttercups in great handfuls,
and the grasses with them He had
all he could carry when he left the
field, and went solemuly down the
road.
Sylyester's grave was at the far
Their side of the cemetery. The old
man, with his load of buttercups and
grass, made his way to it. The sol
diers' graves were decorated with
flags and flowers, but the people had
gone. The cemetery was very still.
When John Kemp reached Sylyester's
grave he started and stared. There
was great bunch of lilacs on the
grave. and three charming. delicate
/ pink roses in a vase.
81 wonder who put those flowers
there!" he muttered. He laid the
buttercups and grass down on the
grave; then he stood still. 1t was
over 20 years since the boy Sylvester
i had been laid there-a little soldier
who had fought only his own pain.
Il wonder who put those flowers
there!' John Kemp muttered again.
He went out Of the cemetery, but
instead of turning down the road
toward his own home, walked hest
tatingly the other way toward the
house of his sister-in-law-Tho
wife, as he always spoke of her.

yard with great bunch of lilacs in
her hands.

her mother.
Lucy returned just before the pro-
cession passed The cemetery was
Il little way beyond the house. Her
mother and aunt, and a neighbor who
had come in, stood at the windows
listening eagerly TO the approaching
music. Lucy joined them. The pro-
cesSion filed slowly past, the Grand
Army men, the village band, the min
listers and local dignitaries, and the
rear guard OF children with flowers.
An accompanying crowd thronged
the sidewalks.

"WeIl, ! guess he's laid by a little

'Mebbe he win do something, if it

1T won't make any difference now.
He's laid under the thumb so long
that he's all fattened out of the

She was bending the branches over,

He had a half-mile to go before he
reached home. He left the horse in

AN OCEAN GRAVEYARD.
Dread Sable Island Fast Being Eaten
by the Waves.

by the Waves.
Especial Correspondence
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, June 2S.-The
Sable island of today is very unlike the
Sable island of few years ago or even
as it is called is slowly but surely
crumbling away under the magical
touch of the sea. When the writer
was there four years ago, the island
contained many more square miles
than it now does, and a recent visit to
Sable showed conclusively that the
ocean gales are each year making in
creasingly noticeable inroads on it's
coast line.
According to tradition, Sable island
when discovered was 80 miles long
and 10 miles in breadth. 1t is now only
about 20 miles long and less than
mile across. 1t has also decreased in
height from 200 feet to 80 feet. though
at places there are lofty hillocks form
ed by the action of the wind on the
sand. Those who best know the place
are convinced that the time of its final
disappearance is approaching. A light
house keeper in pointing out to your
correspondent some of the changes
wrought in less than year asserted
that he believed it would soon be i'm
possible to maintain lighthouse there.
Sable island has long been the terror
of mariners. 1t belongs to Nova Sco-
tia, being 145 miles distant from this
port and IS miles south of Cape Canse,
the southeastern corner of the peninsu-
la. As one approaches it one Is i'm
pressed with the desolation of its ap-
pearance. All around shadows spread
out SO widely that for many a mile
from it's shore there is often not water
enough to float a small schooner. At
the northeast end of the island, which
runs almost east and west, there
stretches for nine miles mass of roar
ing breakers before a depth of six
fathoms is reached. Then there are
four miles more of heavy cross seas
leading out to depth Of 10 to Is faith
oms. At the northwest end the bar
extends seward II miles before deep
water is found Indeed there are shoals
dotted here and there for 40 miles
around the island.
The appearance of Sable island is
only in keeping with the history which
has earned for it it's grim sobriquet.
Ships by the hundred have been lost on
the shoals. In single year Sable
island claimed over 200 lives. Within
