III come back"
On the following day earth and sky
seemed blended in perfect harmony
The roses bIoomed in splcndor. On
the grassy bank they sat, Mary and
Henry, beside the clustering blossoms.
Henry had picked one of the roses
and lovingly placed it in Mary'S hair.
Fair was she then, in all the freshness
of youths bright morning. Tendcrly
she placed her hand on Ilcnrys ShOul-
der and with loving, pleading eyes
whispered:
'IIenry, please don't GO
Sadly, slowly, he replied: Mary, |
must. But watch for me. I'll come
back to you"
SO they parted on that fatcfuI day,
and the birds sang, the brcczcs crcpt
softly by, and the roses scented thr
air. But Mary alone on the doorstep
ana Henry marching out of the valley
needed them not.
Those were trying days for north
and south. The nations best were
Staying each other in terrible battles.
After BurnSidc'S defeat at the battle
of Fredericksburg in December, 1852,
there had been call for more men to
fill the broken ranks, and Henry May
nard had enlisted. Dearly as he loved
Mary Harper, he could not resist the
nations call any longer. At first Mary
pleaded with him. Then She realized
the need and bravely gave hGr con
sent only requesting that they be mar
ried before he went. When on that
last day as they sat together by the
roses, though she whispered him to re-
main, she knew he would go-that
above all the sorrow at parting she
wished him to go-wiShcd him the
brave, true soldier of her dreams.
Thus it was that Henry went, and
Mary came to live with Hcnry's moth
er-just those two in the little farm
house, for Hcnry's father had been
killed years back while hauling logs
from the wood lot. The sled had over
turned coming down the steep hillside.
Henry's mother had seen it from the
window where she sat knitting and.
calling Henry from the wood shed,
went to his aid. Crushed and bleed
ing, they brought him home just at
the close of the cold winters day, and
he died in half an hour.
After this they had toied on, Henry

the crisis was past.
When lie awolie in the morning he
was Hubert Smith no more, but Henry
Maynard, and all the remembrance of
Mary and home came over him. He
had been wounded in the head at the
battle of Gettysburg. In a seemingly
lifcless condition he was left ON the
field until after the battle. He was
cared for hy Il farmer and when partly
recovered wandered away, giving no
name. How he reached Australia he
never learned
His recovery was speedy, and he
fastened to America to find Mary if
possible. "Oh, Mary, are You waiting?
Shall see you?" he cried, And all
night he paced the steamers deck over
whelmed with love and longing.

doorway, looking down the road. Her

man came slowly up the road and
turned up the pathway to the house.
Mary, waiting on the doorstep, knew it
was Henry, for the face was the face
she saw in her dream.

That is all those two said as they
clasped hands and sat once more on

Hcnry's mother died and was laid
away in the quiet graveyard, and the
years rolled on; the SHOWS came and
went; the roses bloomcd. Schoolgirls
came for them and in time grew to
womanhood, and other girls came.
Each evening the lamp was placed in
the window. Each day Mary watched

The sympathetic ncighbors kindly

had been sent to the war department
inquiring for Henry Maynard, but

City Council Meeting.

After several weeks Of consider
ing bids for the Franklin street
sewer extension, the council accepted
the proposition presented by Car
hart & Nye, which was as follows:
lOinch sewer, 67aa cents, 10 inch
wyes, IS cents extra, manholes com
plete, $65, and flush tank moved,
$35. .7.5,j
The City Solicitor was authorized,
to prepare the necessary papers and
draw bonds for the deal. The work
will begin about July 81 and the
contract calls for its completion on
or before September Is. This
sewer is to begin near Union street,
just north of Capt. j. F. Merry's
property. and will extend north to
the residence of II. w. Lawrence, on
the corner Of Franklin street and
Clair avenue.
The council have considered the
various bids submitted during the
past few weeks very carefully and
have accepted what they consider a
very conservative and fair contract
price for the work.
