Uses to a dependent people, who will

see whether we have indeed the liber-

ed? cannot believe that the senate
will let this great measure of construc-
tive justice await the action of another
congress-. Its passage would nobly
crown the record of these two years
of memorable labor.
But think that you will agree with
me that this does not complete the toll
Of our duty. How are we to carry our
goods to the empty markets Of which
N have spoken If we have not the
ships? How are we to build up great
trade If we have not the certain and
neQpstant means Of transportation upon
which all profitable and useful com.

get the ships If we wait for the trade
to develop without them? To correct
the many mistakes by which we have
discouraged and all but destroyed the

trace the steps by which we have, It

that with regret now, because the sub.
sides led to many scandals Of which
we are ashamed, but we know that
the railroads had to be built. and If
we had it to do over again we should
of course build them, but in another
way. Therefore propose another
way of providing the means Of trans
portation, which must precede, not
tardily follow, the development of our
trade with our neighbor states of
America. 1t may seem a reversal of
the natural order Of things, but it is
true. that the routes of trade must be
actually Opened-by many ships and
regular sailings and moderate charges
before streams of merchandise will

War has interrupted the means of

an instant's pause and then the reply
softly spoken:
Eyes, the hardest battle man ever
fought"
That was years ago and now the
whole nation had chosen the day OF
this mans death as the time for re-
membering with outward observance
the heroic dead.
"In sacred memory OF a soldier OF
the South" was the inscription on the
marble slab at the head. Nothing to
show to what southern hearts he had
been dear In the olden days OF fire
and storm, nor what had been his
rank in that devoted army that had
sealed its faith with the blood red
seal. "a soldier of the South" was
all that she had ever known OF him.
and the fact that he had been dear
to her mother. as shown by her mem.
ory Of him when the day Of flowers
came.
There were other soldiers OF the
South sleeping on that hillside at
peace with the soldiers of the North
who shared their spacious grounds.
Rosemont had been near the line in
war days and they who wore the gray
and they who wore the blue had come
back to their home to the beat OF
muffled drums and gone to rest side
by side, with never q vestige of bat

a hand-to-hand struggle, sudden dark
ness-that was soldiers death.
Through an opening in the tent he
looked out into the moonlit night.
Against the wilderness he could see a
dark form passing to and fro in front
Of his tent. In his isolation there was
companionship even in the measured
tread and dark shadow of the sentinel
whose duty 1t was to see that he did
not escape from his prison.
Suddenly the door opened and the
sentinel stood before the prisoner, who
turned toward him, wondering why he
had come. Was he to start tonight

They stood for a long time In ST.

marble shaft that bore the name great
before the world. But they did not
see the monument or the name. They
only saw a lonely grave somewhere

no name to show whose loved one had
been glorified with the chrism of death.

She opened her trunk and took from
1t silver casket which she unlocked
with gold key. In 1t was q folded
manuscript that she held a moment
reverently in her hands. Her mothers
hands were the last to touch it, when
she put 1t away in the casket to be
read on the twentieth birthday. At
last she opened 1t and read:

stones In those consecrated grounds.
A man to whose memory It had been
erected did not lie under its shining
white shaft He was buried in far
famed field of the dead where the ma
tons most honored sons lay at rest.
They looked at the marble shaft
with its head lifted high against the
golden light. The name 1t bore was
Of one who belonged to the world and
to history. He seemed far away in
some lofty region from which he sent
no individual appeal to their hearts.
Alan Goodwin looked from the cold
white marble to the girl at his side.
What vivid CLEAN Of light she was
