before that time came round he had
sealed his patriotism with his life.
The bush grew and twined all over the
side Of the little cottage, and every year
it's wealth of blossoms made the whole
neighborhood fragrant; but the roses all
withered and dropped off when they had
given out their sweetness, for Susan
never had the heart to pick a single one,
after the promise she had made to Luke.
Though at first it panied her to look
at this last gift of one so dearly beloved,
as the years came and went she learned
to love that bush as if it had been a liv-
ing thing, and to look forward eagerly
to the coming of the summer months
when she could feast her eyes on the
only friends that had any claim upon
her affections-Luke'S roses.
One cool evening in May, more than a
score Of years after all the sweetness had
been crushed out of Susan's life, a deli
cate-looking boy came slowly up the
walk which led to her door, and timidly
asked shelter for the night. Susan was
not in the habit of entertaining strang-
ers, but before she had time to send him
away, the boy, who really was i'll, stag
gered forward a step or two, and then
fell fainting on the very threshold. In
stantly there flashed into her mind a
line of that old war song, Brothers
fainting at the door," which she and
Luke had sung together the very morn
ing he had gone away for the last time;
and right eloquently did it plead for the
sick stranger at her door.
"Poor boy! 1 should not wonder if he
were starving, his face looks so white
and pinched," she said, as she brought
water to battle his pallid brow.
AS soon as he recovered from the
swoon she helped him into the house
and laid him on her soft bed. Though
it vexed her that he could not eat
morsel of the dainty food she brought
him, she lay down hoping that by morn
ing his appetite would have returned
and he would be able to continue his
journey in safety. But in the morning
he was not able to lift his head from the
pillow, and many mornings came and
went before he was able to tell his
name, or where his kindred dwelt.
All this time Susan kept him in her
house, and cared for him tenderly as if
she had been his mother. Perhaps she
would have sent him to the hospital that
first morning had not a small gold locket
she found suspended around his neck
touched the one tender spot in her
heart. She had seen that tiny locket be-
fore, and even before she opened it she
knew that she held in her hand key

A FLOATING EXPOSITION,

A Unique Method of Advertising
American Made Goods.
A floating exposition, which will en-
circle the globe and visit every seacoast
town, is an idea which is being pushed
by 0. 4. Austin, chief of the bureau of
statistics of the Treasury Department. It
is proposition in which some of the
leading men in commercial lines in the
country have become interested, and to-
ward which a step will he taken shortly
which will definitely decide whether the
necessary financial backing can be Sc
cured. 1t is proposed to have feet Of
ships fitted up as floating booths, in
which the leading articles Of manufac-
ture in the United States can be exhib-
tied. Naturally, the exhibits will be of
those articles for which it is presumed
there is foreign demand.
The length Of the trip which is TO he
made by the feet, Of course, will depend
on the amount of financial backing secur-
ed and the wishes of the promoters. 1t
has been thought advisable to have the
trip extend over a period of at least two
years.

which would unlock the mystery sur
rounding her lost grave.
AS soon as the boy was able he told
her that the locket had once belonged to
a soldier-a dark-haired young man who
was mortally wounded at Chancellors-
vile. After the battle was over his
mother, who lived near the battle field,
had ministered to the dying stranger, and
though be could not speak nor give his
name, the poor young man had put the
locket and a package Of pictures into
his mothers hands; but as there was no
address on anything left in her posses
sion, it had been impossible for her to
return the property to the friends for
whom it was intended. He told her, too,
that his mother had buried the dead
stranger under a large elm tree in sight
Of the battle field, and that every Dec
grafton Day she covered the solitary
grave with the most beautiful flowers
she could find.
Susan listened with dimmed eyes to
the touching story, and just as soon as
the boy, whose name was Willie Rae,
was able to travel, she cut the finest of
the roses, and went with him to his
home to learn all that his mother could
tell about the stranger she had minis
tered to before Willie was born. Among
the pictures she found her own-an old
fashioned ambrotype, stained with poor
Luke's heart-blood, and, as she looked
upon it, for the first time in a score Of
years tears came to her relief. There
was no doubt about the graves being
her own; so Luke's roses were tenderly
laid upon it, and Susan, after rewarding
the poor widow for her kindness to the
dead, took Willie with her, and went
back to her Northern home in time to
keep Decoration Day by sending a
wreath of Luke's roses to lay upon every
soldiers grave in the village cemetery.
''What a mistake l have been making
all these years in shutting out from my
life so much human love and sunshine."
she said to herself, when she saw how
gratefully her tribute to the dead was
received. Il have certainly been very
selfish in my grief, never thinking that
other hearts might be as heavy as my
own. With the help of my Father in
heaven, the remainder of my life shall
be spent in helping others"
And she has kept her vow. Once
year she takes Willie back to see his
mother, and lays wreath Of roses on
Luke's grave; but there are always
enough left to decorate the sixteen graves
made for the boys in blue who are sleep
ing in the old cemetery near her home.

Origin of Memorial Dar.

The idea of Memorial Day originated
among the women of Maryland, who put
flowers on the graves of both Federal
and Confederate long before the surren-
der Of Appamattox. The women of 9TH
er States soon began following the Gus
tom. In 1869 Gen. John A. Logan, as
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, appointed May 80 for
that purpose.
