He paused some minutes with his
chin on his palm, resting his heart
in the bygones. Like yistiday, it
seems, the first time ] paraded in
that uniform" he unused, land the
people fairly tumbled over each other
to see the zouave column. And Sis
ter Bess was SO proud of me that
day that she kissed me on both
cheeks and said she'd always mind
just how l looked
And then she said If anything
happened me down among the john

him. I bleye l would" he half
whispered, Il raley b'leve l would
give up them zouave tixin's, even con-
sent to be buried without 'em, if
could find Sister Bess; but / guess
I've lost her till the Great Day!"
And with deep sigh he resumed his
hoeing.
When Nelson Travers came out of
the southern prison pen it seemed
everybody had forgotten him. He
would not have cared much for the
world--it had never been overly kind
If he had not lost Bess. But she,
mourning him as dead, had married
and gone, no one seemed to know
where, and he had been unable to
find her; and she was all he had.
Right, forward, march!" and the
measured tread of disciplined feet

when there were more in the ranks
of the veterans than now; and Fair
Oaks had quite showing of returned
boys in blue to her credit that Deco
ration day.
Like slip of flame the zouave uni
form seemed i'll the moving ranks as
they came down the sunny street.

Especial correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence
A. C. Rankin, the ''moulder orator, -
end O worker in temperance fields, is
in Iowa and is organizing local leagues
of the Loyal Citizens State Marshal
league. These local organizations are
supposed to watch the enforcement of
the laws relating to liquor. A charge
of ten cents per year for each member
is made, half to go to the enforcement
of local law and the other half into
state organization hands to fight state
cases. The organization is being per-
fected because the recent legislature
refused to pass a state constabulary
bill. The constabulary organized I'M
der the auspices of the league will do
the work privately and on its own ac-
count. but Mr.. Rankin believes it will
be almost as effective as a state con-
Stabnlary.
