HER GIFT TO COUNTRY.

One evening toward the close of the
war, while Union soldiers lay in camp on
a hillside near the Staunton River. in
Virginia, the cry of Halt" Who goes
there?" from a sentry startled every
lounger to his feet and several of the
more curious ran to the guard line to
find out what the trouble was. A min
ute later all knew that the night Wis
itor who had been challenged was no
enemy. \ little girl about ten years OF
age, holding a white kitten in her arms.
came forward in the light of the fires.
conducted by two soldiers, who had told
the sentry to pass her in, and who
looked as proud as If they were escort
ing a queen. The whole regiment gath
cred. including the colonel himself, to
look at the child and hear her tell her
story. very short story it was. scarce
ly paragraph; but there was matter
enough in it for a full chapter. She
lived near by, with her father. who was
sick and poor; and they were Northern
ers, she said, and Union folks Her
mother was dead and her brother had
been killed while fighting in the Federal
army She wanted to give something"
and. when thte Union soldiers came. she
thought she would bring her pet kitten
and present 1t to the colonel.
The colonel took the little girl in his
arms and kissed her, and said he was
not bit ashamed of his weakness. He
accepted the kitten with thanks. and its
innocent donor was gallantly escorted
to her humble home, loaded with gem
erous contributions.
The white kitten was adopted by the
regiment, but continued to be the prop
erty and the special pet of the colonel
and when the war was over he took it
home with him. Like the white lamb
that stayed and fed with the victor after
the battle of Antietam, the little crea-
ture during its short but stirring army
life was daily inspiration to better
feelings and thought in the presence of
all that is worst-a living flag OF truce
cleaning among the thunder clouds of
human passion.

Those fnanciers who have all along

express today the belief that termina-

ions differ. The Daily Telegraph'a"

reservations. it looks as ii American
securities had passed the zenith of their
