er, 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 go, laden with golf
sticks, riding wheel, armed with gun
or fishing tackle, or erect upon the
back of 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
no more splendid specimen of man
hood than was Robert Hale, as Clar-
issa was forced to admit to her un-
willing self.

advantage which appreciate. Better
to know his faults now than when it
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, confiding her unhappiness SIS
to petted, snarling Fifine.
Out at the stable the groom was put

coming parade, she knew; and pres

HONOR THE HEROES.
1t Is 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 memorySf 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-sacriice 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
the blood of the brave and the true.
But theAnanhood 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
for country, its safety and it's honor, so
long shall we have 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 a 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 admiral tion and
gratitude.-Gen. Joseph Wheeler, in

| 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 tender kiss and a caress.
| and the two elder women consider
ately remained in the reception hall,
while the penitent girl went haIf-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-
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 girl!

Capt Hale laughed, but only men

"Not bit of it, dearest!" he de-
clared. "Why, owe that little beast
an unbounded debt of gratitude! She's
brought about victory bigger than
-than-Gettysburg, Clarissa!"
This was 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

Her tears had suddenly ceased to

though somewhat pathetically, and

Which the dew shall crown with glory on

I'm the sunburst of the morning. every

Come the echoes of the muskets that were
heard at Bunker Hill;
And the roses and the lilies in the shadow

Lie on the breasts of those who STOOD one

Meath the hemlocks and the cedars, meath

And the country, reunited by love that

Sees the modest flower blooming in the

Down the street, beloved by thousands,

The comrades of the brave who rest this

No more the ringing bugle blast, no more

With elbows touching, silent stand the

Bring the fairest of the blossoms to re-

For this kind nature proudly yields the

The skies are bright above us and the river

Honoring the Soldier Dead

The heroism of those whose graves
we decorate, whether they be "The
boys of '61" or the 'Boys of '9S," is one
of the bright jewels in the diadem that
crowns 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
Free Press.

proved such a 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 propin-
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.
1t was the springtide of life, as well
as the springtide of the year. But
Hard if these
Found not 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 contest which was
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.
"No man could offer me more dead
ly hurt!" she announced, tragically.
''My 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

southern like; but she would not un-
bend. He leaned his arm over Black
Don's glossy neck, and regarded her
nischievously.
"What an irony of fate, Clarissa!''
he said, teasingly, as he stood gazing
at her with 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 mem.
| bers of both households smiled, and
| shook their heads knowingly, and
moralized on the inevitableness of
lovers quarrels. Aunt Frances rasp-
ly took it upon herself to demonstrate
with her niece, for Robert was her spe-
cial favorite, and she could not bear
to have hm made unhappy by Claris-
sa's caprices. She was unprepared,
however, for the rebuff which she met.

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:

asked herself feverishly; but there

81 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 am n\exasperating day as it

stars and stripes were flying. Grand
father was in bed, suffering from

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. Il always knew that he
was proud. But at least he might
have glanced at the house, if not at
me!'
1t 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-andt then, well, Ciar-
issa never knew exactly how it hap

fiant yaps and snarls of Fifne as
she snapped at the black horses feet,
and Capt. Hale, caught off his guard,
had been thrown by tie shying horse,
striking his head against the cruel
edge of the big stone post. That
was the last of which Clarissa was

E admit that. Aunt
Frances used to shake her dear, white
head, and sigh mildly. ''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

most detestable little beast "Fifine
