was gathering material for a book
Which he meant to write some time.
1t was to be a wonderful book. that
should bring him fame and fortune.
Thereby his children would receive
their proper social status and Fanny
was to be relieved of all care and re-
sponsibility.
Fanny had no dream of her own.
She had not. since her mothers death,

There were six younger than her

we'll. indeed. as Mr.. Fuller thought
they ought-but then their wives were
young and would in all probability i'm
prove as they grew older. After the
boys came the four girls-Gladys,
lone, Lillian and Hazel. Gladys was
twenty-four. Hazel eighteen, lone and
Lillian between the two. Where Fan-
ny was colorless they were gold and
definite occupation-that Of being
lovely. Grouped together on the YER
anda of an afternoon. they persuaded
observers into forgetting that the
paint was off. the shingles loose, and
the chimneys decrepit. They were
much sought after as an adornment
by aggressive society danes, and they

put them all where they belonged. 1t
was no secret that the foul Fullers, as
! they We're called. felt above the or
binary salary drawing young man OF
the town. Like their father, they had
their ideal, and they chung to it Wig
orously.
|. Fanny, Of course, was not meant to
be married. She was a born spinster
and had no idea that life would ever
be more or better than it then was.
Hers was a present day existence. so
to speak. She didn't look forward.
because she knew from her past that
the future could hold nothing. She
did her duty and kept her faith; what
hope there was for her lay in the ulti-
mate prospects Of her younger sisters.
Then one fine, fair spring morning
while Mr.. Fuller was buying his ia
vorite magazine at the news stand a
stranger caught a glimpse Of him,
turned for a better look and spoke.
How do you do. Mr.. Fuller?" he said.
Perhaps you'll know who I am from
my looks. I've an idea that I'm ex-
actly what my father was about the
time he and you were close friends"

very satisfactory. Devils Lake has
the honor of having started the Chau-

the kind in North Dakota for many
years. Since than other meetings have
been arranged at various centers, and
several excellent Chautauquas are now
held. all giving promise of success.
These summer meetings are Of I'M

The four Fullers were distributed
picturesquely upon the ruinous YER
anda. David created a diversion,
though a meager one. HI wasn't par
ticularly young or good looking or
we'll dressed. but he proved to be
bright n entertaining, and soon had
them all laughing. Indeed, the gayety
was so general that nobody thought to
tell Fanny that there would be a
guest at luncheon. Consequently
when h came to call them she found

Fanny shook hands with Mr..
French. h was pale from a long
morning in the kitchen, but her wits
did not desert her. She merely MUIR

lay, m rushed back to the dining
room, squeezed up the chairs and laid
another plate. When presently the
group entered all was in order.
fanny presided at the table and she
did it gracefully from long experience.
The table was dainty. the food excel
lent. and David French ate with an
appetite. Moreover. he praised
that Fanny had prepared all the dish
es. 1t was she. therefore, whom he
thanked most heartily for his enter
tainment upon leaving.

David to his train. Maybe he'd do

Fuller said. "David's all right. I had
an idea that his father made money

laughed Gladys. You could see your

Fanny heard without comment. She
thought her sisters were foolishly par

into town n ran up in the evening
to call on the Fullers. Three of the
girls were at a dance. Hazel was all
ing and was staying home with Fanny
and her father. Hazel was very glad
to see David. She was perfectly sweet
to him.
IT'S Hazel" thought Fanny. She's
rather young for him. but that does
not matter If he loves her.
The third time David came he found
Gladys stranded at home. That time
when he went away Fanny vas sure
that he was smitten with Gladys.
The fourth time he came walking
home with lone. The fifth time he
seemed charmed with Lillian.

And then Fanny understood.
He was gone when the girls came
home, tired and late, but he had had
a long confidential talk with Mr.. Full
ler-a talk over which Mr.. Fuller was
still scratching his cleaning gray
head. Fanny was out Of sight. And
Mr.. Fuller, who had promised to make
it easy for Fanny, told them.
Married! Fanny! To a farmer"
cried Gladys. while lone burst into
tears.

He handed Gladys a photograph.
The girls made a rush to look over
her shoulder. 1t was a picture Of a
modern farm, fashioned on the most
expensive plan. There vas a wind
mill, a garage, a lofty house, and
fields like velvet, where beautiful cat
tie grazed.
"David's a Cornell degree man and
a scientific farmer" said Mr.. Fuller.
He's making money. And his father
didn't lose any that he had after all.
He's rich. but best Of all he loves
Fanny"
He turned away and blew his nose
hard, while the four girls stared at
the picture Of Fanny's future home
with feelings that they could not yet

Pat and Mike were obliged to halt
their heavily loaded cart to make way
for a funeral. Gazing at the process
sion, Pat suddenly remarked: Mike,

The eight-year-old daughter of a
Boston household recently sought out
her father with a startling statement
that her twin brother swore.

Pat could not find his watch, so he
went to his friend, the lieutenant at
the police station and reported that
he had lost 1t. The lieutenant assured
him that he would not leave a stone
in New York unturned until the watch
had been found.
Pat returned home much comfort
ed by his friends assurance, and a few
hours later discovered the watch in
the lining of his vest, so he set out
Immediately for the police station to
inform the lieutenant Of his find.
AS he was passing along his way he

Knowing what vas expected, Mrs.

The chances are that Of the thou
sands Of men at Gettysburg who took
part in the memorable battle of fifty
years ago, few will be able to identify.
from their own recollection Of the
landscape, the positions which they
or others occupied during that great
fight. AS war is conducted now, the
soldier knows little of his surround
ings. He goes with his comrades at
the word Of command, stops when or
dered to do so, fires often without see
ing anything or anyone to fire at. and
engages in what is to him quite largely
a blind battle. Half a century ago this
condition prevailed. though. not so
largely. as the range of weapons has
been increased. and more open forma-
ton Is the rule. But many Of the
veterans have refreshed their memoir
les by study Of plans of the old battle
field. and the information which they
have gained Of the general movement,
added to their own recollection Of par
ticular features Of the field, and in
dividual incidents Of the battle, will
enable them to live over again those
terrible days, and to identify with
reasonable accuracy the chief features
Of the historic field.

TUESDAY. JULY i, 1913.
THE VETERANS AT GETTYSBURG,

Chicago Record-Herald: We shall
not see again such a gathering of the
veterans Of the civil war as that on the
fold Of Gettysburg the first week of
July. The men who fought in that
war numbered over $500, 900, and of
these there are still $4,000 able to
travel and take part in the celebra-
ton Of the fftieth anniversary of the
decisive struggle OF that epic conflict.
It IL amazing that so many are still
alive. eve though one remembers
that they were little more than boys
when they left for the front.
It IL impossible not to envy these
rugged old men. The memory is theirs
alone; reading Is in vain; no one who
was not there can know what emo
tons such a field as Gettysburg stirs
in tho soul. Perhaps even these can
not remember, for we have the con-

glory and not the horror remains. Ger
tatnly there will be glory enough to
SO round among the surviving $4,000
Of both sides. who will fraternize on
the old field from June 20 to July s.
The preparations are on the largest
scale. There will be twenty miles Of
streets among the tents; 16s kitchens
with 400 field ranges operated by 1900
eeeks, Wells have been dug and
drinking fountains placed at frequent
Intervals. There will be two field hos
pitfalls and three emergency hospitals,
with ten Red Cross doctors and forty
Rod Cross nurses. In addition there
will De numerous information bureaus,
telephones and other conveniences to
make the veterans comfortable. The
program will begin on July I, the
opening day Of the battle, and will be
sufficiently varied to keep the interest
alive until the last breakfast is served
on July 6. The big day of the cele-
bration will be July 4. National day,
when ex-President Taft, in laying the
corner stone of a peace memorial
building. will remind his hearers that
it is the anniversary of the day on
which General Lee began his retreat
on the Potomac, abandoning his plan
to take the capital, enforce recogni-
ton for the south by England and
France, and wind up the war.
