break of day busily denuding her gar.

its first rays across the green fields she
had been to the cemetery on the hill
and laid her offerings of pink and
white and lilac blooms on the graves
of her kinsfolk.
She found herself wishing that moth

ried into the house, where she blushed
again as she slipped on blue muslin

tie gold brooch. 1t was many years
since Almira had worn blue muslin

to meet her own eyes in the mirror

Origin Of the "Johnnies."

The opposing armies applied many
different names to each other during.
the war At the outset "Reb" ana
"Secesh' were favorite terms as ap-
plying to the Confederates. Along in
1862 "Grayback" and "Butternut''
were often used. both derived from the
uniforms the Confederates wore. Many
of their uniforms were of a butternuc
color, dyed reddish brown with butter
nut bark. But some time in 1864, as
the story goes, two pickets, one FROM
each army, were haunting each other
The Union man said it was as bad to-
be rebel as to be Johnny Bull. The
name "Johnnies,' because Of Engla-a'5
supposed friendship for the Confeder-
acy, sprung into great popularity and
has survived.

despondently as she walked down the
path to a tangled mass of shrubbery
that hid one corner of the garden.
Here, screened from curious eyes by
a network Of young cedars intwined
with woodbne and ivy, was a long,
low mound, at the head of which was
a broad, thin marble slab, with an cpl
taph lettered in queer black charac-
tiers:

BUT SLEEPS MEATH OCEANS

Almira had made this grave, hidden
securely from prying neighbor eyes,
fifteen years before. She had found
the marble top of an old table in the
garnet and dragged it pantingly to the
spot. where she set it il a deep hole
followed in the soft earth. With paint
brush she had printed the carefully
composed verse and the laser ption.
Tears Of disappointment 81 thered in
Almira's eyes as she walked slowly
back to the house. and consequently
she did not see that there was a buggy
standing before her gate and that a
man was coming brisl1ly toward her.
