touched the flowers. Put yours there to-
day.
Rose kneIt again, her loving fingers
lifting the daisies. And she had little
brown curIs all over her head. She look
ed up. The old lady nodded.
Dear little heads! she said yearningly.
She smiled to the boy, who pressed closer
to his mother. Tell granny your name,
she wheedled.
LudwelI. He look at this mother. She
nodded. Harrison, another nod. Car

ment to get that name intact to the ears
of inconsiderate iBquisitors.
And what, asked the old lady, are you
doing with two of my family names,
LudwelI Harrison Carter2
His father, named him after his father,
Rose answered for him.
Then, said the old lady, We are cousins!
which in Virginia is magic formula
where-with you open doors and hearts.
Rose looked at her, mutely inquiring.
It must be true, continued tie old lady.
You are Northern branch. She smiled
again to the boy, who sidled toward her,
allured by the cane set slaDtwise against
her knee. When Rose came back to the
bench, he grew bolder, and, with hand
in his mothers, even dared to lean on
the old lady's knee himself.
The bells of memory rang from the
gray church across the hills. They could
almost hear the children singing. The
fragrance of the flowers stole up to them
and mingled the perfume of other flowers
long vanished with the vanished years.
The old lady drew signing breath. Rose
looked up quickly, and their eyes met
across the boys brown head.
It was long look, and during it they
said many things to each other.
The old lady, said, I am lonely. and
my thoughts are like withered leaves
blown about the empty rooms. Do not
wait until die to come home to your
house. Come now-to-day, if you will.
Bring me daughter and son, and living,
laughing children in place of the little
ghosts that cannot rest because OF my
selfish, summoning heart.

since saw you, said the hazel eyes. We
will come, we shall love to come. How
beautiful life is going to be.

THE DOVER RIGHT !.
[coNrINUED FROM LAST WEEK.
BY FANNY KEMBLE JOHNSON

Hallway up the meadow the
hill rose somewhat steeply and
was crowned with scattering
wood of pines, Rose found herself
following a narrow path to the
hilltop, and, once there, a pale
cleaning among the dark
branches allured her downward.
Here where the pines grew
thickest, and even in March har-
bored tiny drifts of snow, she
came on one of the old family
burial-grounds once to be found
on every plantation in the state.
Time has let in the wild vines
and creeping grasses to many.
Many more have been obliterated
by the plowshares of new owners.
But this enclosure secreted
among the pines, and hedged
with long unpruned box-trees,
seemed still a place that waited
to welcome and enfold the life
weary.
Its wooden gate had crumbled;
but its single tall shaft stood up
right, as if protecting certain
little graves nestled under peri
winkle vines a foot deep. One
of these was such a mite of a
mound in its cradle of worn gray
stone. Rose had dismounted
now and was standing over it.
It's almost as little as-mine,
she thought. She stopped to re-
move the dead leaves ald twigs
with a gentle hand. Her eyes
were musing and deep. just
such a tiny, tiny, mound she had
left behind her in Northern
state when she came to Virginia.
No one ever understood why she
cared so much for that unnamed
morsel of a daughter who hid
only lived long enough to die;
but even her two big, beautiful
boys could not make her forget,
and she always bore in her heart
the memory of that wee, un-
mothered grave. And she had
kept it so sweet with flowers,
violets, little white roses, white
daisy stars small as the far away
stars of heaven seem to our gaz-
eyes. But no one had undering
stood-even Terry had never
understood.

The old lady's roses were IN
full bloom, tall bushes of crimson
roses, branchy bushes of white
roses, brambly bushes of yellow
roses, and vines in wild, unteth-
cred tangles of roses. Sally ex-
claimed over them on her way
up the walk. The old lady sat
on the porch. see by that bas-
ket that you mean to rob me
she called.
1 wish you'd come to morrow,
aunt, said Sally. st. John is to
have everything real appropriate
and pretty. The children will
sing, and we are to have a spec
ial little ceremony at the soldiers
graves. We want your roses for
those-they are finer than any
one else has-they are the LOWEST
I ever saw! st. John says we'd
all get too careless if it wasn't
for these special days of remem'
bering. He likes to have people
make the most of them.
She picked up her basket from
the step and moved away as she
spoke.
The old lady leaned back, let
ting her eyes follow the alert fig
ure flirting about the lawn. Once
she had cut her own roses, and
wreathed them with her own
memories for the graves of her;
dead; but in recent years all an
niversaries had fallen from their
old-time Importance in her mind.
She had stopped observing them
as she had stopped going to
church every Sunday morn
ing, or planting her early bulbs
every autumn-as she had stopped
pretty much everything except
mere living in its barest simple
ity.
Do come, aunty! urged Sally
once more across her overlooking
basket of beauty. Uncle Nelse
can drive you.
The old lady shook her head
firmly; but for all that, the words
put her in the temper to do some
thing she had not done for sew
eral years.
Hortense, she said that night
to the colored woman who attend
ed her, ask your father to put
the horses in the carriage for me

.%sather is fair. / think it will

ATTORNEYS BOLD STAND
TECHNICALLY GUILTY OF KID
MAPPING, A PAULs VALLEY AT
ToRNEY TELLS STORY.

Pauls Valley, Okla, Noy. r.
Technically | am guilty of kidnap-
ing, practically am not. Anyhow,
am not going back to Arkansas.
They may indict me there and come
after me, but they can't get me. I
am not fugitive from justice and
| do not fear the consequences"
This is the bold stand taken by
City Attorney Albert Stanley, who,
as counsel for Mrs. w. n. Trice,
for whom he recently obtained
divorce, deliberately went to Forl
Smith, Arkansas, took her son Ray
in charge and brought him back to
Oklahoma. The boy is now with his
mother at Lindsay. and the father
from whom the boy was taken, de-
clares that he will indict Stanley
for Doth kidnapping and forgery, the
latter charge being based on an al
legation that Stanley forged a court
order by which he obtained posses
sion Of the boy.
Il took with me to Fort Smith
certified copy OF the divorce de-
cree which granted Mrs. Trice pos
session of her four children, three
of whom were VITA her and the
other with his father in their former
Arkansas home" said Stanley today.
II took n Fort Smith lawyer into
my confidence and prepared to In
stitute habeas corpus proceedings,
but learning that the boys father
was away, | went and took posses
sion OF the child and got out OF
the state.
There is positively nothing con
nected with the affair upon which
to base a charge OF forgery. I had
no other paper than the courts de
cree"
Stanley says they may indict him
for kidnapping and send an officer
after him. He will fight requis.-
tion. but in the event II Is granted
| by Governor Haskell. which he does
not anticipate. he will institute hab-
cas- corpus proceedings in the dis
trict court OF his district and thus
/ defeat the Arkansas authorities.
