Fifty Years After

- n all the centuries, with their in
Vulnerable wars, there have been
few great, decisive battles. The
world has been full OF bloodSlcd
and carnage and the horrid rapine that
goes with war, but among the battles
innumerable there have been but few
that greatly influenced the worlds his

but fifteen of them between Marathon
and Waterloo, and of all that were
fought before and since those epoch
making dates none has been greater
or more decisive than Gettysburg.
The town OF Gettysburg is peace

ened somewhat since the wartime, to
be sure, but only slightly larger than
then and not very different in outward
appearance.
Several things about the battle-ground
impress the uninitiated visitor. First
is its vast extent. 1t embraces twenty
five square miles. You may ride over
it all day and not see it all.
In its monuments and its carefully
marked sites of interest 1t IS the most
remarkable battlefield of the world.
Here, scattered over the hills AND
fields, are no fewer than GOO monu-
ments and tablets. Most OF them are
of elaborate and artistic design. costing
all the way from a few hundred to a
hundred thousand dollars.

havin' an old soldiers picnic over to
Jacksonvillei There was an excursion
in the cars to place where they had
big dinner. and there was military
bands and speeches-all about the bat

The. loud changing Of bell at the
house announced that the evening meal
was ready, and the light suddenly fad
ed from the old mans face as he walk
ed away. The dimning Of his eyes,
the droop of his shoulders, as he turned
from her touched Miriam, and there
flashed into her brain thought SO
startling chat she seized the first lei
sure minute to consider 1t. What If
they should have an old soldiers pic
mic of their own-she and the general?
Oh. 1t was n wonderful plan! Miriam
could scarcely sleep for thinking of 1t,
and by morning she was ready to COM

personally conducted or otherwise,
ever gave such satisfaction as did this
little trip. They tried singing Hail
Columbia" and John Brown" and de-
rived n great deal of satisfaction, If not
much melody, from the attempt. The
little girl from nearby farmhouse
ran down and brought them some lem
onade. and altogether it was day
crowded with pleasure.
But it was just at the close Of the
day that disaster came. They had
fingered as long as they dared, and
then when they started back to the
station the feverish hurry of inexperi-
enced travellers seized them.
A carriage with party Of gentlemen
turned down crossroad just as they
approached the station, but the gen
eral. intent only on the train that was
drawing up to the platform, saw moth
ing else and pushed forward. There
was a warning cry, a shout to the
horses, a groan.
"oh, he's killed, he's killed. and now
/ can't never take him back!" sobbed
Miriam.
But the general was not dead. One
Of the gentlemen, a@physician, speedily
assured himself of that.
II do not believe he is dangerously
hurt" he said after swift examina-
ton. ''but there is a fractured bone In
the leg, aud with that and the wound
in his head he ought not to be moved
IL he can be cared for near by. Where
does he Iive?"
All eyes turned upon Miriam. and
the simple story of where they belong

pleasure was told between pititul
catchings of her breath as she tried to
restrain her tears.
The station keeper suggested that
the people at the farm near the grove
had comfortable house and had plen-
ty of room and might be willing to
care for the invalid until he should be
able to travel.
I'VE viii see that they are well paid
for it." said the leader of the party,
who instructed the volunteer messen-
ger, and word was soon sent that the
mistress OF the house was willing l.
Miriam would stay to assist her.

wounds dressed. and he Begin to mend
