Astounded, Sebert drew back to

The boys only answer was to drop

place.

The Etheling's voice was very deep

repeated slowly. And il we do not ?"
The Dane shrugged his burly shoul-

Again there was silence.
Sebert put his last question: How

The man shattered the silence with
his boisterous laughter. MY chief

hung on his masters.
The young noble laughed with gay

the command to "close ranks" finds
the confederate veterans touching ell
bows with Union veterans under the
one flag of the republic.
The Blue and the Gray came to-
copal Church on Sunday in patriotic
exercises of most inspiring char
acter. On the platform there were
veterans of Mosby's guerrillas, of
Morgan's raiders, and of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The spirit
of the survivors of that great army
that came up from the southland was
happily voiced by Col. Forester of
Morgan's command when he said:
'Never mind whether | was in the
confederate army because | was a
single man and loved war or because
| was a married man and loved peace.
| was there. But the important fact
now is that | am reconstructed reb-
ell, and so thoroughly reconstructed
that there is no better Union man in
the United States"
Death is now making heavy inroads
ppon the ranks of the brave fellows
who followed Lee and of those others
who fought under the leadership of
Grant. At the last reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans held at
New Orleans in May of last year the
number of members was reported to
members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic on June 80, 1903, was re-
ported as 256,510. On each side there
is rapidly diminishing host, and it
is very pleasant to see the cultivation
of fraternal spirit between them.
