episode that led to his and Isles &c.
quaintance And the only touch Of
sadness that entered .e roseafe hor1-
zon Of Karl's full-orbed vacation was
caused by what helearned from Elste'a
lips the death Of her father and broth
er at the battle of Chickamauga and Of
her mothers untimely death.
Their vacation was passing rapidly
when Karl thought Of trip. So one
lovely morning n January, just the
day before Ralph and Karl started
back to college, the young people made
a trip to the battlefield Of Bull Run.
Karl was especially anxious to make
the visit, and Elsie had long contem-
j plated such visit for the purpose OF
locating a certain spot which her dy-
| ing brother mentioned in brief letter
written to her just before his death.
When they reached the battlefield
Karl spent some time In giving a vivid
description OF what he saw more than
nine years before. He reserved to the
last the part that he most distinctly
remembered, the desperate stand made
by the Zouave regiment. the Fifth New
York, under the brave Warren. He
led Elsie and Ralph to Bald Hill, and
even pointed out the boulder beside
/ which he fell. and where he lay until
borne from the neld by merciful hands.
And here Elsie heard for the first time
i story that touched her heart-the
story OF the fer.
s'Oh, Karll How wonderful this

her eyes filed with tears. Then, open
ing a little handbag which she had
quietly brought with her, she produced

She's mine.

Lillian mine, the dearest of girls,
Whose brow is brushed by ruddy curls;
The dazzling of her bright blue eyes
Bedims the azure of the skies.
Her smile betrays pearly CLEAN
OF matchless teeth, which almost seem
The work of magic dewdrop drips,
Unframed by luscious ruby lips.
Her voice is like silvery bell,
Its charming tones love full well;
With nymph-like form, demure and sweet,
From crown of head to dainty feet.
She truly is my Lilly fair,
With deep blue eyes and Titan hair;
She'll share with me the trials of life,
Because, you see, she is my wife.
