WHEREAS, We, the faculty and pupils
of the Columbia Colored School, having
learned of the death of Mr.. A. Barr,
which occurred at his residence in CO.
lumbia, April 10 1901.
RcSOlted, That we take this method
of expressing our feelings of regret at
the removal of one whom we knew and
valued as personal friend and a warm
and constant sympathizer of our race.
ReSOiCed, That as citizen, a man of
public affairs and conscientious chris

deceased had interviewer himself gen

this community.
ResOlUed, That in the death of Mr..
Barr, Columbia has lost cherished and
familiar land mark, both ia business
and society; the schools and faculties
an ardent supporter, and the colored
school, in particular, one who, during
his long career as a member of the Hon

tiently and continuously represented its
interest in all possible ways.
ReSOlred, That we furnish a COPY of
these resolutions to the family Of the de-

in its sad hour of bereavement; also a

him that if he should prove as good
fighter as he was a nurse promotion
would follow; then he came less often.
Twice before she had been unable to
resist the temptation to touch the raw
place; once she had asked him directly
how it was that a man could keep out of
a war in which other men were win
ming fame; and once, in reply to his
question: "Will you ever like me,
Frances?" she said: "A Virginia
woman should not be expected to like
civilians overmuch when Virginia soil
is invaded" At length, to avoid him,
she gave more of her time to the hos
pital, yielding the care of those in the
home to her stepmother and the
trained nurses. Mrs. Brookin won
golden opinions in those days. A week
seldom passed without the appearance
of her name in print coupled with law

DR.. Brodnar, busy every hour of the
twenty -four in which his giant
strength could sustain him awake, had
but little time to spare for Frances;
but one day in the hospital he got a
brief report of the girls new expert

ually opened the locket and found
therein a long, slender curl of red
dish-golden hair and on the narrow
ribbon with which it was tied the
name "Frances," he was involved in
a hopeless mystery. He was within
sound of the Richmond church bells
that morning, and between the inter-
gais of fighting and moving to new
positions he had already in gina
ton entered that city. The name
thus sent was the only tidings Of
Frances he had ever received, and it
made him a sadly happy man.

Holbin had heard of Frances latest
within, the union soldier. He had not
interested himself in the latters well
fare, but he MADE his appearance in
the wingroom on the day after Louise
had been pacifed, and, finding only
nanny there with the wounded man,
he entered and engaged him in cheer
full conversation. He gave him the
latest news from the front, and sup
piled him with cigars. Responding TO
these attentions, the soldier readily
told his story. When the name of Rich
ard Somers, his former enemy, was
reached, Holbin was visibly excited.
Still, not for one instant did it occur
to him to connect the presence of the
wounded man in that room with the
fact that Somers was his captain; and
the soldier himself naturally took it
for granted that the cause of his pres
ence was well understood By all.
Frances found Holbn there, and
stood silently resentful upon the
threshold until he had explained his
visit

They must have been fordot,
Can't we buy him some, like grandpa,

That afternoon to the corner,
With paper and pen and ink,
Went Flo, saying, Don't talk to me,
If you do, it'll stop my think!
I'm writing letter, grandma,
To send away tonight;
And cause it's very 'portant

At last the letter was finished,
A wonderful thing to see

And here is the letter when written
To God by Little Flo:

CHAPTER XIII.

Raymond Holbin had found it diff
cult to advance his cause with
Frances, if for no other reason than
that few opportunities for seeing her
clone presented themselves. He had
sought interviews repeatedly and
offered the many little courteses
which the male resident of a house
may extend to those of the other
sex, but they had been declined with
a persistence that only added fuel
to the flames which were consuming
him. The girl seldom dined with the
family; she had during her fathers
long illness instituted little house
keeping plan of her own and took
ner meals in her apartments, mat
ter very conveniently arranged by
reason of the position of the apart
ments and the constant attendance of
nanny. Occasionally, yielding to
the insistence of her stepmother, she
.cired the family upstairs, but on
such occasions she carefully avoided
tete-a-tete with Raymond, with
drawing always with the elder wom-
an. On such occasions, the inevitable
topic had been the war, its vicissi-
tudes. and the responsibilities it in
volved. Ir these meetings and the
presence of great events she after
awhile learned. if not to like her step
mother, at least to suspend judgment
upon her; indeed, sometimes she had
been tempted to doubt the correct
ness OF her former judgment, for
when the city began to be crowded
with wounded Mrs. Brookin threw
open her house to them and gave
much of her time to their care. The
gent.eness with which the elder wom-
an entered into this work, her gem
crosby and her universal courtesy
were bound to impress such a girl
as Frances. Once, as though yielding
to noble impulse, she placed her
arm about the girl and said:
MY child, you have surprised and
gratified me of late. If l had known
you years ago we should never have
been less than friends. Try to forget
the days when | seemed unkind, please,
and do not cherish anger towards an
cold woman" Frances tried to forget,
but always in the presence of Mrs.
Brookin she felt a constraint. She
seemed ever to have entered an atmos-
phere that had been stripped of its cleo
tricity. Try as she might, it had been
impossible to respond unreservedly tO
her advances; the best she could dc
was to meet them with courtesy.
The presence of wounded men in the
house gave Raymond for a short tim,
an opportunity to see something oil

That six o'clock tea was the tri-
umph of a brilliant dip,omatist's ca.
reer. Louise was forgiven, caressed,
received back as member of the
family, her claims and wrongs ac-
knowledged, and full reparation
agreed upon. No one could have ex-
celled Mrs. Brookin in the tender
ness with which she treated the now
happy woman. She blamed Raymond
Openly for having concealed the truth
from her.

heart was set upon another plan. My
dear child, if loving care and sym
pathy can compensate in part for
what you have suffered, they shall

stances seem to demand that mar
rage should at once be solemnized,

city wiz be your home, and you
should come here as Raymond's wife.
Fortunately, he has given no one here
reason to suppose he is single, and
it will be very easy at the right time
to have you and the little girl arrive.
/ assure you, my daughter, that your
reception will leave no room for doubt
as to your future position" As
Louise sat looking into the benevo-
lent face of the older woman, with
fearful eyes, her heart overfowed
with gratitude.
"My child, madam" she faltered
"Where is she?"
Near the city, but just now be.
yond the lines. You will be directed
how &c reach her when you get
through; or better, Raymond will
join you, and together you will fine
her"
Louise went back to the hotel al
most content.

From the moment Of his surrender
Raymond Holbin was ripe for any
thing his mother might suggest. 1t
was her mind that conceived the plan
to convince LouisN that she would
be permitted to ride through the con-

arrangement secured by Raymond
through friends in the war depart
ment, only a pretense of firing upon
her would be made. 1t was a plan
