the man was a churchman, and he
shall have prayers too. We have no
coffin for him either. But stay; here's

And now let us go on, gentlemen
In a short time the martial cortege
reached the little Presbyterian Gene
terry. The young man, wrapped in the
generals cloak, was soon laid away in
the shallow grave which had hastily
been made ready for him. Seymour,
attended by the two other American
officers, Armstrong and Lewis, after
cutting off a lock of Talbot's dark hair
for his mother, read the burial service
out Of the young soldiers own little
prayer book, which he had found In
the pocket Of his coat. AS the earth
was put upon him CORVALLIS and his
officers stood about reverently uncOv-
cred while the sailor read with falter-
ing lips the old familiar words which
for twenty centuries have whispered
of comfort to the heartbroken children
of men and illumined the dark future
by an eternal hope-nay, rather, fixed
assurance-of life everlasting.
There was one tender hearted woman
there too, one Of the sweet faced
daughters of the kindly Quaker, Miss
Clark She had taken time to Irvine a
hasty wreath from the fragrant ever
verdant pine; when the little mound
of earth was finished, softly she laid
it down, breathing a prayer for the
mother in farof Virginia as she did so.
Then they all drew back while the
we'll trained soldiers fired the last three
volleys and the drummers beat the
last call. Twas the same simple end
ing which closes the career Of all sol
diers of whatever degree when they
come to occupy those narrow quarters
where earthly considerations Of rank
and station are forgot.
''Sir I beg to thank you for this dis
tinguished courtesy" said Seymour,
with deep feeling, extending his hand
to the knightly Briton-
do not mention it, sir, beg Of you"
replied CORVALLIS, shaking his hand
warmly. you will do the same for
one of US, am sure, should occasion
ever demand a like service at your
hands. 1 will see that your other men
and officers are properly buried. Do
you return now?
Immediately, my lord"
spray present my compliments to
Mr-nay, Washington, said
the generous commander, land con-
graduate him upon his brilliant cam
paign. Aye, and tell him we look for
ward eagerly to trying conclusions
with him again. Goodby, sir. Come,
gentlemen" he cried, raising his hat
gracefully as he mounted his horse
and rode away, followed by his staff.

it in the field. His mother was to be
told that he had done his duty and
had not failed in sustaining the tradi-
tons of his honorable house; and the
honest, soldierly little note ended with
these words:
AS for you, my dear Seymour, would
that fate had been kinder to you! Were
Katharine alive, 1 would crave your per-
mission to say these words to her: Il love
you, Kate-Pve always loved you-but the
better man has won you My best love
to the old mother. Won't you take 1t to
her? And goodby, and God bless you!
| HILARY TALBOT.
The brilliance went out Of the sun
shine, the brightness faded out of the
morning, and Seymour stood there
with the tears running down his
cheeks-not ashamed to weep for his
friend. And yet the man was with
Kate, he thought, and happy-he could
almost envy him his quiet sleep. The
course of his thoughts was rudely
broken by the approach of a party OF
horsemen who rode up to where he
stood Their leader, a bold, handsome
young man of distinguished appear
ance, in the brilliant dress Of British
general officer, refined in his steed close
by him and addressed him.
.How now, sir! Weeping? Tears DO
not become soldier"
"Ah. SIR" said Seymour, saluting
and pointing down to Talbot's body at
the same time, mot even when one

The young man nodded affirmatively.
"What were you proposing to do

80 be it." he said, accepting the i'm
piled challenge, but adding nothing
further. He would wait to be ques-
toned now, and this strange woman
should have the story in the way that
pleased her best. AS for her, she could
not trust herself to speak. Never be
fore had her trembling body her beat
ing heart, escaped from the domination
of her resolute will Never before had
her mobile lips refused to formulate
the commands of her active brain. She
fought her battle out in silence and
finally turned toward him once more.
+ ."rhere was something else you said,
I think My-my son?' Her voice
sank to a whisper; in spite of herself
one hand went to her heart. All, moth
er, mother, this was indeed thy king!
isis he wounded? My God, sir! Not
dead?"
His open hand, which he had extend
ed to her. held two little objects. What
were they? The bright sunlight was
reflected from one of them, the locket
she had given him. There was dark
she had never seen before. The other
was his prayer book. 0 God-prayer!
Was there then God, that such things
could happen? Where was he that
day? She had given that book to him
when he was yet child. "Dead"-she
yhispered-'deadw shrinking back and
staring at him.
"Would God I had died in his place,
dear madam he said with infinite
pity ?
"How-how was it?' she went on,
dry eyed, in agony, moistening her
cracking lips.
''Fighting like hero over the body
Of General Mercer at Princeton. His
men retreated and left them
1.-THE rebel cowards"' she interrupted.
NAY, not towards, but perhaps less
brave than he. The British charged
with their bayonets. Our men had not

"Were you there, sir?
'Surely not Should l be here now
If I had been there then, MADAME he
replied proudly.
"True, true. Yousat least are gen
tleman. Forgive the question"
General Mercer and some of his
officers sprang at the line. I had it
from his own lips. Some one cut the
general down. Hilary interposed and
enabled him to rise to his feet. They
were attacked, fought bravely until
until-they died"
Stricken to the death at least, but de-
termined to die as the rest had died,
fighting, she drew herself up resolutely
heaven above her. "So-be-it-unto-
all-the-enemies'- When had he
heard her say that before? he won

face went whittier before him; the light
went out of It.
ooh, my son. my son-O God, my
son, my son-oh give him back, my
sonny SON." She reeled and fell
against him. moaning and beating the
air with her little. feeble hands. The
break had come at last. She was no
longer Talbot, but woman. With
infinite pity and infinite care he half
led, half carried her into the house,
and then, after being hidden not to
summon assistance, he sank down on
his knees by her side, where she lay on
the sofa in the parlor, crushed, broken,
feeble, helpless, old. With many in
terruptions he told her the sad story.
He laid the long dark lock of hair he

Washington which he read to her, in
