Hastily tearing open the envelope, he

The letter was from his old pastor,
and told how his wife had taken the
baby and started for visit to the old
farm, how the team had taken fright
and ran away and wife and child had
been instantly killed. In that one
moment OF grief Frank became an old
and broken man. He sought to drown
his sorrow in drink in every battle he
recklessly exposed himself to death.
At Pleasant Hills he was promoted for
gallantry, but was soon degraded for
drunkenness, and then he sank lower

Adverse Factors.
"On the whole there are fewer wage.

of unrest has caused the abandon.
ment of some new enterprises and
postponement of others, which means
less demand for structural materials
and labor. Payments are also less
prompt, time often being asked where

REIMBURSEMENT in prices of iron and

is no evidence of diminished activity
as yet, and in many cases prompt de-

Cotton Goods Higher.
Advances of about per cent in
wide sheetings indicate that the cot
ton goods market is beginning to re-
spond to the higher raw material. A
still more encouraging sign is the
greater interest displayed by purchas-
ers. Warm weather stimulates &C.
tivity in wash goods for quick de-

while there is no demand for regu-
lars, odd goods are sought freely Re-
duced output of worsteds has
strengthened the tone. and the recent
advanced prices for carpets have not
prevented large transactions. There
is no sign of reaction in the footwear
industry. Leather is steady at recent
advances.

him first!"
e. b. Browning.
Jean Charters, stepping out into the
pearl and silveriness of dawn and
dew, sighed-and then smiled at sight
OF the riches spread before her.
Again 1t was Decoration Day, an oc-
casion which in this little western
town was one almost of festivity, so
great was the gathering from the sur
rounding farms, so gay the girls in
their new summer fnery, so stirring
the martial music of the local band
Even the pathetic sight of the handful
of old soldiers, marching in depleted
ranks to the cemetery on the hillside,
but emphasized the pleasure of the
young, who found in the holiday en-.
joyment at once innocent and rever-
ent.
Miss Charters walked down the
prim gravel walk between the low
green barberry hedge. She held daint-
lily aside the skirt of her crisp, white
wrapper, lest it be touched by the
wet twigs on either side. Her spirited
gold brown head turned to lett AMI
right as she mentally calculated the
floral wealth of her little garden. None
would have dreamed that over that
same radiant head thirty summers had
passed, so girlishly slender was the
erect and graceful figure, so smooth
the white brow, so luminous the long,
pansy-purple eyes under the slim
black brows. She had swung the
bask from her arm and was shipping
from the great SNOWFALL bush at the
end of the path its first contribution,
when voice came piping to her from
ever the gate.

as though overwhelmed by the mag

lessly against his throbbing heart, and
his bare feet, as yet guiltless of tan,
kicking up dust which hid his fiery
bushes. AN I'll wear my new

and the tide of humanity went hur'
rying on with faces as gloomy as the
sky itself, and paused not to hear the
pleadings Of him who stood there lean
ing against a lamppost, red-nosed,
watery eyed and clad in rags, Upon
his head was an old battered and
ragged hat, from whose hanging rim
the dirty water ran in a little muddy
riyulet down to the ground. His feet
were almost bare, his breath redolent
with the fumes of whisky. But there
amid the rags, upon his breast,
cleaned a golden.hued star, an en-
blem Of honor, the badge of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He was only
an old topper, but those feet had once
run swift at his country's call in the
days gone by. That breast had been
barred to battle blasts. and those arms
had borne aloft the old flag when stout
hearts we're faint with fear. | paused
