VAT HEN the booming at Sumter
wv fired alike the northern and the
southern heart Martin Riggs
was in a quandary. He was torn be-
tween love and duty. He felt that he
should answer President Lincoln's call
he did so he feared that he might lose
the love of the girl who was dearest
to him in all the world Ethel Birdsey.
But the girl, who had caught the
war fever at once, bade her lover go
forth and serve his country.
MARTIN" she said 1T will break my
heart, but 1 must let you CO."
And so it was that Martin volun-
teered and marched away to the war,
Ethel waving him a last adieu, tears
streaming down her emotional cheeks.
-Four years passed and the war was
ended. One day man got off train
at the town from which Martin Riggs
had volunteered and walked up the
main street. Passing through the vii
lage, he struck a road leading to the
right and the left and stood deliberat-
ing. Just then a man drove by in a
hay wagon, and the stranger asked:
"Can you tell me where I'll find Miss
Ethel Birdsey"
"Y' can't find no sich pussen; she's
married"
"Married?" The stranger started.
"Yes; she married two years ago."
The stranger stood looking like one
who has taken journey for purpose
and found the purpose has no exist
ence.
"What y want with her?" asked the
farmer.
"Well, have message for her
that is, had message for her, but SC
long as she's married"-

'Oh, yes, l remember. Ethel sent
him off to the war. She was very pa
triotic in them days She wanted me
to go, but l told her 1 thought I'd con-
tinue to do my fightin' on the farm.
How's Riggs gittin' along"
Hes dead"
Dead? What a fool he was any
way. How'd he dieT
"Well, he was all used up. He was
nothing but skin and bone, and then
he got sick, and with sickness came
nostalgia, or inconsistencies, and to
cheer him up I proposed we should
tunnel out. We did so and escaped,
but the guard discovered us and shot
Mt us. He hit Riggs, and carried him
where he died. Just before the end he
told me of his love for Ethel Birdsey.
eff you ever get out of this and go
north he said, see her and tell her
that l died in trying to be worthy Of
her."
The stranger paused for a few mo-
ments then added: There was one
thing more he said, but don't like to
repeat that. It's sacred"
"Pd like to hear it, stranger. l
won't tell"
"'Jim,' he whispered, make the dear
girl happy. Take my place."
The farmer sat silent with the loose
reins in his hand. He seemed to be
thinking hard
Stranger" he said presently, "ef
you'd "a come here and found Ethel

over Riggs and be consOled by you
But seein' she's married there's no con-
sOlin' to be done; leastaway none in
the female line. Ethel's husband
wouldn't mind a little O. that sort o.
thing. P'r'aps you might make a deal
with him to leave the field open to you
and see how she'd take the message
and Riggs plan o. maxim her happy.

There two good reasons why Representative j. A.
Faconer the Progressive congressman from Washington
state is called "Sver Alec by his constituents. One Is
that although only forty three years Old the Chinook
congressmans hair is white. The other reason is
his ability to "orate his gift in this direction being
similar that of the secretary of state former Senator

AN OLD FAVORITE

r EFT me go whereer / will,
hear a sky born music still
- 1t sounds from all things old;
1t sounds from all things young.
From all that's fair, from all that's foul,
Peals out a cheerful song.
1t is not only in the rose,
1t is not only in the bird,
Not only when the rainbow glows
Nor in the song OF woman heard,
But In the darkest meanest things
There alway, alway. something sings.
'Tis not in the high stars alone,
Nor In the cup OF budding flowers,
Nor in the redbreast'B mellow tone.
Nor In the bow that smiles IN showers,
But in the mud and scum of things
There alway, alway, something sings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
