THE PRESIDENTS FLAG.
The colonel gazed at Isaiah. HI

The colonel gazed at Isaiah. His
eye took in the meaning of the stripes
on the sleeve of the old mans uni
form; he noted the wooden leg; Il
believe you, sir" he said, and then
he did that which brought the color
to Isaiah's cheek. AS a subordinate
to his superior officer, Colonel Hor-
ton saluted Isaiah Ridden.
The colonel soon had the story OF
the adventure. Punks insisted on
telling how the old man had walked
miles and miles to put flowers on an
old comrades grave; Isaiah declared
that Punks, in carrying out his prom
Use to Johnny, had showed a soldier's
spirit, and finally the colonel took the
old man, the boy AMI the dog, In
charge.
The following morning, In the
Memorial Day parade, the spectators
marveled to see an old, wh1te-ha1red
man, in the uniform of Confederate
soldier, riding in one Of the foremost
carriages as the guest OF the colonel
of the regiment. They had already
noticed, by the side of the colonel,
boy who rode his horse as though 1t
was an old story to him; it was boy
who had been appointed the colonefs
special aide for the day, and Ii any
one had asked him his name he would
have answered "Punks." And also,
close to the heels of Punks' horse.
there trotted a yellow dog, a good
meal within and happy look in his
eyes. The spectators couldn't know,
however, that these were not the last
of the good things that were to fall
to Isaiah and Punks and Lonesum;
there were, in fact, many more good
times to come, for the colonel was
rich, but better than that, he had
heart of gold.-Ram's Horn.

babe him be quiet, and the three
were driven before the caretaker to-

the uniform of a colonel of cavalry
stepped out and asked:
whats the trouble, Matthews?"

caretaker.

Same to YOU" answered Punks,
srfnning. "'Spose you tell me what
you're doin'.'
The old man laughed. That's
fair" he said. I'm Isaiah Ridden,
of Tennessee, sir. I've an old COM
rade sleeping here and came to put
a few flowers there to show that the
South remembers her boys. Being
Confederate, l feared his grave
would go unmarked tomorrow, and
l am the only one to do this for Tom
Morton Tom and l were comrades
and fought with Thomas III Tennes-
see. We shared blankets and rations
and Tom sometimes did sentry duty
for me; said l was young and frail
and he was big and strong. Tom had
no people and 1 had none; we were
everything to each other, but Tom
was killed and 1 was left. This is all
1 can do for him. 1 live at an old
peoples home and manage to get
enough together each year for a few
posies It's a right smart walk out
here; that's why 1 went to sleep,
guess"
"Say, shake!" exclaimed Punks,
holding forth his hand. You're a
dandy If you walked. 1 did, too, but
I'm young and strong"
The boy, on his knees, was now d.
| viding his flowers into two punches.

1--WE both came on the same mis-
sion, then; to decorate comrades

"Well, I'm not dom this all. john
ny gave me some money before he
died. He'd saved 1t up for this, and
he told me not to forget his grand
dad Decoration Day. So 1 put some
more with it and got enough for
Johnny, too. Johnny did it three
years after his grandfather died.
Said he knew no one else would
cause his grandfather was Confed
crate"
"Why, let me help you, sir! An
other Confederate!" exclaimed Isaiah.
He knelt painfully down by Punks,
and the two tried to bring the matted
grass and riotous weeds into order.
Johnny was mighty proud of his
grandfather bein' a soldier. We'd
talk nights bout tive bunked to-
gether-had a box in summer and
went to tn newsboys' home In win
ter. Johnny's grandfather was tn
bravest man you ever heard Of Car

onct."
And so they went on, the old vet
eran and the young hopeful, fighting
old battles and winning again great
victories, until, their task completed,
they arose, fired to the hearts core
with patriotism. But the hero of the
past and the one in the making, when
it came to leaving the cemetery, and
passing the caretaker's house at such
a forbidden time of night, felt rather
dubious. Punks and the dog could
overcome the fence, but Isaiah had
to give up after several attempts. "a
wooden legs good as any other to
stand on, but in case like this, it's
useless" said Isaiah. 'I'll just have
to go down the main road and out the
gate. You go on over the fence"
eyes, and let you get caught? Not
much!" declared Punks. 'I'm going
to stay by you till you get home"
The two were making their way to-
ward the cemetery gate, followed by

Pluck and
Adventure.
A DEER PURSUED BY WOLVES.
H<%>~%%~o%%%%%>%%~~>%>~%>%

A DEER PURSUED BY WOLVES.
When desperately hungry in re-
gions where deer are not so plentiful
the wolves will stick to the one they
start and follow to finish, be 1t ever
so far. I have heard the accounts of
many old Ontario hunters that en-
tirely support this belief.
In my own journal I find an in
stance in point, related to me by Mr..
Gordon Wright. of Carberry, Mani
toba. During the winter of 1865 he
was shantying at Sturgeon Lake, On
tario. One Sunday he and some COM
panions strolled out on the ice of the
lake to look at the logs there. They
heard the hunting cry of wolves, then
a deer "a female) darted from the
woods to the open ice. Her sides
were heaving, her tongue out and her
legs cut with the slight crust on the
snow. Evidently she was hard
pressed and had run for some time.
She was coming toward them, but
one of the men gave a shout which
caused her to sheer off. A minute
later six timber wolves appeared,
ga1loping on her trail, heads low,
tails horizontal, and bowling contin-
uously. They were uttering their
hunting cry, but as soon as they saw
her they broke into louder, differ
ent note, left the trail and made
straight for their prey. Five of the
wolves were abreast and one that
seemed much darker was behind.
Within half mile they overlook the
deer and pulled her down; all seemed
to seize her at once. For few mo-
ments she bleated like sheep In
distress; after that the only sound
was the snarling and crunching of
the wolves as they feasted. Within
fifteen minutes nothing was left of
the victim but hair and some of the
larger bones the wolves fighting
among themselves for even these.
Then they scattered, each going a
mile or so, no two in the same direc-
ton, and those that remained in
sight, curled up there on the open
lake to sleep. This happened about
ten in the morning with three hun
dred yards of several Witnesses
