 The upper portion of the book, which was carried in a coat pocket nearest the soldiers heart is covered with stains of the life blood of the Con necticut warrior who was shot through the breast on a southern battlefield
 The once reddened pages have in portions turned to a light brown rom age but the stains remain as silent testimony to the bravery of one of New England's sons
 On the inside of the book cover ap- pears in the handwriting of the soldier, long since dead. the name of his favor ite sister. Elizabeth Rice. to whom the book was afterward given as keep sake.
 This relic Is attracting the attention of many Grand Army men. who as they gaze upon the sacred pages re- call to mind many of the thrilling ex- periences of their boyhood, when they answered the call for the war between north and south.

 The two Rice brothers enlisted in Company K Fifth Regiment. Connec- ticut Volunteers First Division. Twelfth Army corps. Before leaving home their mother gave to each New Testament and told them to read it often.
 Shortly after his enlistment Charles was shot near the heart and dfed a few hours later. James in the same company, stood beside his brother when he fell and later helped bury him.
 James procured the book, the upper part of which was stained with blood and decided to return it to his mother if his life was spared, On examining its pages he found that on the back cover appeared the name Of Eliza- beth Rice, their young sister.
 Feeling confident that his brother had intended the book for this sister, in case he never lived to see her again, James brought the book home and after the death of his mother gave it to his sister. This sister later became Mrs Warren, and the mother of Robert James Warren.-Providenc Bulletin.
