more, that it possesses valuab BILE medicinal

Miss Betty threw herself upon the

An hour had passed, and the shad-
ows slanted strongly to the east, when
the stiffness was broken by a sound,
low and small at first, then rising fear

preme anguish that clutched and shook
the listeners heart. No one could have

every one who heard it knew that it
was hers and that the soul of Crailey
Gray had gone out upon the quest fol-
the Holy Grail.
Miss Betty's hands clinched convul,
sively round the arm of the bench, and
fit Of shuddering seized her as If
with the grip of violent chill, though
her eyes were dry. Then she lay
quiet.
A long time afterward she became
aware Of step that paced the garden
path behind her, and turned her face
upon her arm so that she saw, but
made no other motion. 1t was Tom
Vanrevel, walking slowly up and down
his hands behind his back and his hat
pulled far down over his eyes. He had
not seen her.

Crailey was silent, but rested his hand
gently on his friends head. In that at

The volunteers gathered at the court
house two hours before noon. They
met each other dismally, speaking in
undertones as they formed in lines Of
four, while their dlspirited faces show
ed that the heart was out of them. Not
SO with the crowds of country folk and
townspeople who lined the streets to
see the last of them, for these, when
the band came marching down the
street and took its place, set up royal
cheering that grew louder as Jefferson
Bareaud, the color bearer, carried the
flag to the head of the procession. With
the recruits marched the veterans Of
1912 and the Indian wars, the one
legged cobbler stumping along beside
General Trumble, who looked very de-
jected and old. The lines stood in
silence and responded to the cheering
by quietly removing their hats, so that
the people whispered that it was more
like an Odd Fellows Sunday funeral
than the departure of enthusiastic pa
trtots for the seat Of war. General
Trumble's was not the only sad face in
the ranks. All We're downcast and nerv-
GUS, even those of the lads from the
country, who had not known the COM
rade they were to leave behind.
Jefferson unfurled the flag, Marsh
gave the word of command, the band
began to play quickstep, and the pro-
cession moved forward down the cheer

flags and handkerchiefs and threw
their hats In the air as they shouted;
