that story again.
The temptation to do so did not recur
soon. Life became a tremendously vivid
affair when it proved true that the distin-
guished Federal officer was really her lover.
Aunt Eudora was written to come on to
the wedding.
An astonishing array of wedding pres
ents materialized. Ellis friends, of
course, said Ruby, lowering among them
delightedly. The majors own present
came at the eleventh hour. 1t was a
small paper parcel lightly tied about with
faded green twine. Ruby opened it
with wonder stretched eyes. From it fell
bit of brown gauze, to which was pinned
slip of paper containing the words
"When I find the girl from whom this
veil was confscated, I will marry her.
She captured my heart at once and for all
time. -
"Well p said the bride-elect, but the
monosyllable had not that asperity it had
when she uttered it from Vixen's saddle
under the black walnut trees on the oc-
casion when Lieutenant Frank Wharton
seized her veil as contraband goods.

Whatever your sex or position, life is
battle in which you are to show your
pluck; and woe be to the coward. Despair
and postponement are cowardice and defeat.

"Now Aunt Do, said the girl, rising
slightly in her stirrups to adjust her riding
skirt, "you are not to fret about me from

The delicate and intricate mission was
carried to triumphant issue. The old
fashioned saddlebags which Ruby had
flung across her saddle in collapsed con-

The war passed into history and story.
Everyone who had any personal expert
ences of those dramatic days was at a
premium socially. Miss Ruby Simms,
visiting New York school day friend,
found herself always in requisition. She
had the fourfold attraction of beauty,
sweetness, wit and thrilling experiences.
1t was at the close of a dinner given in
her honor by her hostess that she was
called on to repeat her ''charming story of
the confiscated veil. 1t was always for
the behoof of some war veteran. This
time her friend was ''sure Major Wharton
would enjoy hearing it. "
Ruby glanced shyly across the table at
her vis-a-vis, a handsome, bronzed man
with fine eyes and grave manners. He
was rather awe inspiring in his gravity,
but the story of the veil might amuse him.
The story of the veil had progressed to the
point when she. was halted by the squad
before the handsome major showed any,
thing more than polite interest in it.
But as she went on he leaned toward her
with new light in his fine eyes.

THE CONFISCATED VEIL
BY JEANETTE Ii. WALWORTH.

Eudora Simms recognized crisis in her
affairs She looked at the empty store
room and then she looked at her niece
Ruby. The one suggested starvation, the
other opulence--the opulence of youth
and beauty and hopes spring tide of glad
ness.
Miss Eudora sighed. She was too old
to ride seven miles into the town on horse
back. Ruby was too young. Between
these two extremes of impracticability re-
mained the stubborn fact of an exacting
but well-beloved invalid lying in state up
stairs under her best silk elder quilt. Her
invalid was a wounded soldier, and neither
the earth beneath nor the heavens above
could furnish things quite good enough for
him in Miss Eudora' estimation. Above
all things, he was to be kept in profound
ignorance of the pitiful little makeshifts of
wartimes.
Ruby was engaged in plating herself a
straw hat from the swamp palmetto.
When she should have completed the plait-
ing and sewing of her hat, she would dec
crate it with white cranes wing, pro-
vided she could find sombody to shoot the
crane for her. When she and her crane
wing appeared in public, she hoped to
strike all her girl friends dumb with envy.
In the meanwhile she plated industrlously
and pondered the feasibility Of making
herself new basque from a remnant of
bedticking she had found in the linen clos
ct. 1t is historically true that Solomon in
all his glory never was nor ever could have
desired to be arrayed as southern war girls
were.
Glancing up she caught Miss Eudora's
contemplative glance. She did not know
that behind the glance was the unuttered
wish that she was old and ugly instead of
young and bewilderingly pretty, or she
would not have smiled so sweetly as she
asked
"Well, what is it now, Aunt Dodo =?
You look as if your last hour had come.
Miss Eudoro turned the empty tea caddy
tragically toward her. ''The last tea leaf
has come.
"Wel, sassafras bushes we have always
with us.
''Not for him.
The girl lifted her brows and sighed
petulantly. ''No? Is he never to share
our anxieties and privations ?
''Not if l can help it, said Miss Eudora
firmly, adding less firmly, 'I shall ride
into town this morning and get an order
from General Gresham for the sutler
store. 1 had hoped never to come t'
that
"What will you ride, Aunt Do?'
Miss Eudora quailed The girl taunt,
ING smile restored her resolution. ''Nixen,
of course. She is the only four footec
thing left us. y
"There will be one two footed thing
less in the world if you do, said Ruby,
with heartless composure, as she coiled hel
finished plait in compact roll. 81 will
90 saddle her for you.
Miss Eudora was tremblinsly arrayine
herself in her antiquated riding habit when
the girl cantered up to the door fully
equipped for the expedition.
II am ready, auntie. Are you sure
there is nothing on your list that can give
said or comfort to the enemy? "
"But, Ruby

A Gentle Hint.
From the London Answers.

From the London Answers.
A certain butcher is renowned among
his contemporaries for the quaintness and
originality of some of his remarks.
On road leading to neighboring
parish he one day met gentleman who
at the time owed him for some meat. After
salutation the gentleman remarked:
That's fine fat dog you have, Alex
ander.
Sac weel he may, sir, was the reply,
for he has an easy conscience and is oot
o debt, and that s mair than you or can
sayP'
The hint was taken, and the butcher
got his money next day.

Pitiable Ignorance.

It is learned from the Youths
Companion that the sales of Web
ster's Blueback spelling book have
been phenomenal. The history of
the firm which published this book for
thirty-fve years, published recently,
shows that the smallest number sold
in any one year was more than a
third of a million copies in 1862, and
the largest number was more than a
million and a half in 1866. During
the thirty-fve years more than ST.
100000 copies of the book were sold
and used in the schools, and it is
still used by some, notwith-
standing the efforts of modern edu-
Gators to retire it. Nothwithstand-
ing the popularity of this wonderful
book, to which millions of people owe
their education, and which is the
foundation of all real education, The
Progressive Farmer says that it re-
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-05-26

Gently found a college professor who
confessed that he never saw a copy
of the book, and a North Carolina
editor said he had searched Aesop's
Fables in vain for the story of the
man whose OK was gored. The idea
of a man who had never studied the
Blueback teaching in a college or
Undertaking to edit a newspaper!
And yet we talk about this being a
day of educational advancement.
Such ignorance is pitiable.-States-
vile Landmark.

Charlotte Observer: The farmers
of this county say that they have
very poor prospects for a good cot
ton crop this year. They are just
finishing the planting and the wealth
er has been such as to form a hard
crust over the seed planted before
the last rain, so that it cannot come
up. 1t is estimated that one-eighth
of the land planted in cotton is be-
ing plowed and planted in other
crops or replanted in cotton.

Greensboro Record: Four poor
crop years in succession is piling it
on a little thick. Indications now
are that this will be quite as bad as
the three preceding years. Two
months ago or more the prospect for
wheat was excellent but it got wrong
somehow and it is said that scarcely
half a crop will be made. Rust has
made it's appearance, caused by so
much rain, and now for the want of
rain corn will not sprout. Truly
the farmer has a hard time.
