stirring rhythm of drum and fife. The
comrades of the old man were gather.
ing to do honor to their hero dead.
On his way to the nearest doctors
the brain of Corliss was mad jum-
Bile of riotous thoughts, all thinly veil.
ing the keen sorrow he felt at Uncle
come to him-and with startling en-
phasis-that this fluffy furbelowed
girl with the gold in her hair was
vitality essential to his future happi-
ness. His black eyes took unto them
selves tender light hitherto unasso-
ciated with thoughts Of the maid, but
his knowledge of her would not allow
him to believe that she would come
back to him without struggle. In
fact, he was sure that she did not
love him at all. 1t was she who had
suggested that the lifelong engage
ment be broken.
The DOCTOR fussy little person
with straggly mutton-chop whiskers,
steel-bowed glasses and double chin,
hurriedly entered the machine and the
return trip was made in record time.
From behind came onto them the
music of muffled drums, and the
plaintive minor of the flies. The
march to the cemetery had begun.
"He is badly shaken up" diagnosed
the little doctor. He wants rest and
quiet, otherwise there is nothing more
serious the matter with him-no frac-
lures, nor anything in the nature OF
bruised bones. However, he must not
be moved for several days"
AN to think" complained the oc-
togenarian, who had now recovered
consciousness, tibet, after all this
trouble I'm a-goin' to miss the doins'
today for the first time since the
war"
Don't feel bad" soothed Dolly,
tender note in her voice, as she
placed a cool, soft little hand on the
brow Of the old soldier He was now
in bed in the Horton home.
Corliss gazed at the girl wistfully.
Every moment it was being brought
home to him that he had lost jewel.
Darn such luck!" grumbled the
discontented Uncle Ezra.
The eyes of the repentant lover
sped a telegraphic message to the
brain of the maid and, responding to
this, she turned her head and looked
at him and-blushed.
On the broad veranda, as the young
man was taking his leave, he sud.
denly turned to the pretty girl who
had accompanied him.
Must the engagement remain
broken?" he asked plainuvely.
"Why, II thought you wished 1t
So,' she replied, eyes cast down, but
II you don't, why, of-of course"
To the ears of the jubilant Corliss,
speeding homeward some moments
later, came the stirring notes OF The
Girl | Left Behind Me-" The vet
Grams were coming back.

perched jauntily on his head and from
beneath this fell a few scattering
locks of gray. The aged veteran
leaned heavily on his cane. Time
had robbed Ezra Halfway of much OF
his endurance.
The ears of the old warrior were no
longer keen, and he did not hear the
honk-honk of a motor behind him. The
touring car that swept around the
sharp curve thrust him aside so rough
ly and suddenly that he was thrown
unconscious to the ditch at the side
OF the road
With barely perceptible swerve,
the great machine kept to its mad
way. The knocking down OF the gray
old soldier was but an irritating in
cident to the pleasures OF a record
breaking ride The chauffeur was not
one to fiaunt the number OF his car
in the face of victim.
Fred Corliss, in his wheezy little
runabout came in the wake OF the
fier to the inert mass of mangled
blue by the roadside.
"Why. Uncle Ezra!" he exclaimed,
whats the matter"
Uncle Ezra Halfway, as he was
famliarly known to all residents OF
Centerville, was popular favorite.

recovering octogenarian, testify, that

buggies?"
Young Corliss gave relieved laugh.
With his own handkerchief he care
fully stanched the blood emanating
from a slight cut in the old mans
forehead and assisted the reluctant
veteran toward his own little ma
chine.
You shouldn't do this" remon-
strated Corliss, seating himself beside
the old gentleman and starting the
machine. There is no sense in It.
You have horses and buggy, and the
walk is too much for you-let alone
the liability of accidents. The roads
are not what they We're ten years ago.

In it all these years.
In front of the Horton domicile, just
skirting the town, Uncle Ezra sue
cumbed to sudden fainting spell, and
crumpled against his companion with
closed eyes and pallid countenance.
This was doubly unfortunate.
The Horizons were the last people
in the world of whom Corlss cared
to ask favors. Since the engagement

It was not possible for Stuart to dam

burn the railroad bridges or the acres
of camp wagons that were there.

the flashes of lightning. a man run
across the road.
Under the influence of the spur my

man, and under the influence OF pis-

he was a servant Of General Pope who

which, he said, were pitched In
clump of pines close by.
Imade him get up in front Of one OF
the troopers and guide a squadron,
which / detached from the leading
regiment, to the tents in the pines.
On reaching the spot quickly sur
rounded the federal headquarters and,
seeing light in one Of the tents, dis
mounted and with one Of my men en-
tered it.
1t was vacant, but filled with large
number of papers, showing where
some one had been recently writing.
There were also two glasses of toddy
on the table.
A few days thereafter I captured a
squadron of the Federal dragons, un-
der Major Thomas Hite Of the regu-
lar army, whom had formerly known
when a cadet at West Point.
The major said that he and Lewis
Marshall, the latter being an aide de
camp of Pope and a nephew OF Gener-
al Lee, were in one Of the tents that
night and that he had been working
all day over his quartermaster papers,
and in view Of the fact, as we'll as
the tempestuous character OF the
night, he proposed to Marshall that
they should take drink.
"The whisky was brought out" con.
tinued the major, sugar was put In
glasses with the proper amount OF wa
ter, to which q liberal allowance of
whisky was added. I was just pour
ing the toddy from one glass to the
other thinking how soon the situation
would be improved by swallowing 1t,
when I heard the noise Of horses
hoofs, and the report of one or two
pistol shots. quickly put the glasses
down, saying, I believe that Is some
Of that d. Confederate cavalry"
At this point Of the narrative the
major paused. and after looking
around, added, Gentlemen. II you be-
lieve me, do not know whether l
drank than toddy or not. The 'Rebs'
were on us so quick that Marshall and
I lifted the side of the tent and rolled
down into a friendly ravine, and re-
mained there shivering in the drench-
ing rain until they rode of"
1t only remains to say that Hite
and Marshall did not drink the tod
dies they mixed, but that they rapidly
disappeared down the throats of the
two wet Confederstes who found them.

ty days. President Lincoln's first
call was for $4,000 volunteers, and
Jefferson Davis sent agents abroad to
purchase 10000 stand Of arms. In
1861 that was as near as public opin-
ion on both sides came to grasping
the magnitude of the coming strug-
gle.
1t was little else than an armed
mob that went streaming south in
the early days Of the war; it was lit
tie else than an armed mob that met
those recruits, and the first battles
were little else than heroic scuffles.
But presently when the hurrah stage
was passed and the sections had set
tied down to the grim business Of
war there emerged from the chaos
of camp and drill ground the finest
armies that ever shook continent
with their tread.
And out of the first doubtful trials
and experiments with political gen.
erals, lawyer colonels and adventurer
captains, there came the foremost
military leaders Of the age-Lee,
Grant, Jackson, Thomas, Sherman,
Sheridan. The raw recruits who had
scrambled out Of the way Of the
bounding cannon balls on the field Of
Bull Run grew into the seasoned vet
erans who coolly pinned tags bearing
their names to their shirts when they
went to death against the "Bloody
Angle" at Cold Harbor; who stormed
the fire-spitting heights at Fredericks-
burg and took part in the murderous
fighting at Gettysburg.
The more than 100000 soldiers
called to the tented field half CEN
tury ago are but corporal's guard.
Their marching line Is thinned to file
leaders and color bearers, a specter
army of white-haired men that once
a year on Memorial Day, keeps step
to the shrill of the old fife and the
tap of the muffled war drums. Today
the worn blue line, closed up over
the gaps made in 1t by another year,
again is marching to "the bivouac Of
the dead" to pay tribute to the fallen
comrades. And beside it marches
the worn line of gray.
These are the reminders to a new
generation of that gigantic struggle
that was fought out for the sake Of
ideals; of ideals on either side for
which men freely laid down their
lives
"It is rather for us to be here dedi-
Gated to the great task remaining
before us, that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion; that
we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not hare died in vain"

between vivacious Dolly Horton ana
Fred had been broken off by mutual
consent-an engagement planned in

No one could have cause to COM

I'M lhs pAdldIIA VI wal Net-
erans in honor Of whom.
and more especially in honor Of those
comrades who have passed to eter-
nifty, the day has been set aside as
a memorial.
All honor to the soldier dead. Sac
red is their memory.
Great honor to the veterans who
have been spared to us and whose
presence should be an inspiration to
better citizenship.
Tremendous was the cost of the
war in human lives. Awful was the
carnage, yet the result was united
nation and greater nation.
The patriotism which inspired the
great outpouring Of troops In that
wonderful war should be central
idea about which everything should
cluster because 1t burns with patriot
ism.
1t was the most wonderful demon
stration of self-sacrifice for a nations
solidarity and honor the world has
known.
1t was a glorious achievement for
principle, and every participant In
that magnificent victory deserves
more than a floral wreath upon his
grave, Or If he be yet with US, more
than laurel wreath upon his brow.
Certainly we do not honor the vet
Grams as we should!
One thing we should do to honor
them, among others. We should seek
to mold our lives into good citizen
ship inspired by those very principles
for which they fought. Thus may We
become the heroes in time Of peace
that they were in the dark years Of
war.
Today, as the old bugle blows its
solemn and impressive taps over the
graves of the soldier dead, let us hon
or their memory in action by making
that inspiring taps reveille-yes, a
call to arms in the war against greed
and oppression.
Memorial day!
Citizens, contemplate it's true mean

ute to the heroes Bow in honor
before them, and be not unmindful Of
the duty which devolves upon you as
one among many to whom those he
roes of war have handed down this
magnificent commonwealth as heri-
tage with its great duties and tre-
mendous responsibilities.
