And I move we call them one by one. -
So they read each name and to my ear
Came words borne forth on the evening
1t sounded to me like faint; .IIere

And knew they answered that roll call
clear
From their resting place beneath the
trees.
I seemed to see them all in line
Just touching elbows and standing
straight;
Yes, each was there of the sixty-nine
And spoke to one old pal of mine
Who had left us along in ninetv-eirht.
And cried: old comrade. what means
Then he said as he tapped on his muf-

He said no more, but took the let
ter from its time-worn envelope and
read:
Mrs. Levison Brant-Dear Madam: 1t
pains me to learn that your husbands s
supposed responsibility for my condition
has almost Frustrated you. Pray do not
my inmost soul that 1 not only forgive
your husband. but / have already begged
his forgiveness for forcing him to commit
an act which he so deeply deplores The
fault was entirely my own. and alone
am the one who should suffer- Believe
me. am profoundly sorry for what hap
pened. and 1t Is not sorrow that Is in
fiuenced by selfish considerations, or the
fear of death. Since l have been in this
hospital Col Brant has become my most
valued and best-beloved friend What he
has done for me can never be told, but
he has made me realize that there are
true gentlemen at the north as well as in
the south. and that he is one Of the
noblest men in the world. I thank you
dear madam. for giving me this oppor-
tunity to say that. so far from feeling
resentment. I entertain only sentiments
of warmest friendship and gratitude to-
ward your husband Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM CHALLONER.
The colCr came and went in the
young mans face as he read, and the
light in his eyes softened to tender
glow. Finishing. he crumpled the let
ter convulsively in his hand. and
came round the headstone of the
grave at a half-dozen quick strides.

hand. this is a glorious revelation to
me. Let us hunt up your father at
once. l will go down on my knees to
him If you like. With you for wife

In secluded part of the cemetery
that afternoon Richard Challoner
stood alone beside grave which was
marked by granite headstone bear
ing the name OF his father. So occu-
pied was he with his own gloomy
thoughts that he did not notice the
timid. hesitating approach Of Dorothy
Brant until she was within few feet
of him. He Strengthened up then, and
greeted her with a solemn, courtly
bow. while his cheek flushed. The girl
was very pale, and her eyes were red
with weeping. She carried an armful
OF roses. which she silently and rev.
erently deposited on the dead confed-
crates grave. Then. facing the man

Col. Brant had come down to Pop

to deliver the Memorial day address

to city life. especially as 1t sepa-
rated her from Aunt Mary. who was
q second mother to her. and from the

1t was Dorothy who met Col. Brant

And SO 1t came about that Richard

man, whose frank geniality and

made an agreeable impression on the
colonel. He was budding young law
yer OF unimpeachable Virginia stock,
who had recently established himself
in Poplarville for the practice of his
profession and had bounded at once
into popular favor.
In the course of the evening Col
Brant and young Challoner retired to

private interview. Here Challoner

Then the explanation came. Mrs.

that Christmas week was essentially
a period for family life-she forgot
there were any other families except
her own. She caught the visiting
germ badly at Christmas time. She

Basket Ball.

Quite a crowd witnessed the two
games played upon the La. Jara
grounds Saturday afternoon. The
visitors were the boys second team
and the girls team of the Stake
Academy at Manassa. The boys
game was probably the more inter
esting to the average spectator.
The field work of M. M. Faris of
La Jara, and the goal throwing of
John Rawlings for La Jara, and
G. Spriesterbach for Manassa, were
the marked features. At the close
of the first half, the score stood
If in favor of La Jara. The
end of the game brought only a
tie, 13-13. In the continued play,
which such a case made necessary,
each side scored l, making the
score l4-14. The game was won
by j. Nelson on a field goal max
ing the closing score 16-14, in
favor of Manassa.
In the girls game, the general
good field work of the La Jara
team was apparent to all. The
features were the goal throwing of
Frances White for La Jara, and
the field work of Miss Willis for
Manassa. While it was a signal
victory for La Jara, it must be
said that this was the first game
in which the Manassa team had
used the girls rules. At the close
of the first half, La Jara had s,
Manassa o. The game closed with
score 1O-1, IN favor of La Jara.
Miss Holtsclaw made the single
point for the visitors.
The officials were: Referee Prof.
r. b. Faris, Umpire Prof A. p.
Scorer, B. f. Hatfield,
Timekeeper n. Richardson.

Stomach Distress.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as
any one of you may have an attack
of Indigestion or Stomach Trouble
at any time, day or night
This harmless preparation will
digest anything you eat and over
come sour stomach five minutes
afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you,
or what little you do eat seems to
fill you, or lays like lump of lead
in your stomach, or if you have
heartburn, that is a sign of Indi-
gestion.
Ask your pharmacist for so
cent case of Pape's Dlapepsin and
take one triangule after supper to-
night. There will be no sour
risings, no belching of undigested
food mixed with acid, no stomach
gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy
feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness
or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go, and, besides, there will be
no sour food left over in the
stomach to poison your breath with
nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain
cure for all stomach misery, be-
cause it will take hold of your
food and digest it just the same as
if your stomach wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief from all
your stomach misery is at your
pharmacists, waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases con-
tain more than sufficient to cure a
case of Dyspepsia or Indigestion.
