way from Nebraska to San Francisco
Rouse met couple who proved very
companionable. In discussing the civil
war the incident of the watch was
touched upon. The woman showed
much agitation and, reaching into her
grip, produced the identical watch
that Rouse had sent north over four
decades before. It was wrapped in
blood-stained paper, as the soldier had
forwarded it, and on the case the
stains were still seen. The woman
proved to be the daughter of the man
from whose body the watch had been

she sprang up startled and stared
duly at him for an instant, then with

glancing at the strop, he asked:
