Halt Ordered at Lunch Hour.

THE spot seemed the logical one for
lunch. and having made late start,
and the hour little past IL o'clock, a
halt was ordered. Scme chose rocky
lodges or grassy mats on the gently
sloping creek bank, others formed lit

they might listen to the ripple of the
creek skim stones across, or amuse
themselves with seeing their reflection
in the stream. Some found hot coffee
at a farmhouse nearby, and ham

More than 250 Washington wander

Visit Dunkard Church.


Dunkard Church and the various monu-
ments nearby. The old church, which
offered shelter to the wounded men on
both sides still serves as a meeting
place for it's humble worshipers.
Leaving the church and retracing
our steps for a short distance, Hagers-
town pike led us to the quaint village
of Sharpsburg, the center of the bat
tlefield. Children by the roadside sold
some US bullets which are supposed to
be relics of the great war. Some
wanted to stop at the cemetery. but as
an excellent view had been obtained
from Boonsboro pike and the time
limit was doubtful this point had to be
left, except for a few who took the
risk and came very near getting lost.
From the historic little town small
ravine was followed, along the road
side, to Antietam creek again, thence
down the course of the creek to Burn
side bridge, threearch structure,
built of white stone. In its setting of
trees and with the sparkling water be-
low it was a study well worth the time
and money of any artist to make a spe-
cial trip to paint.
From the bridge a private road over
the property of Mr.. Burton was fol-
lowed to Porterstown. The lane was
covered with fallen leaves and the
walking and scenery was more in keep
ing with the usual hikes. Young How
ard Burton came out, as we passed the
old homestead, with bucketfuls of red
apples. Another youthful American
came along with his goat cart and Of
fered to "jitney" those who were tired
out for so cents per head
Village of Porterstown.
The village of Porterstown was en-
tered from the south, within a short
distance of where we had passed in the
morning to Middle bridge. The regular
road was then followed around the
mountain spur to Eakles Mill. AT the
point of the mountain range another
fine view of the surrounding country
could be enjoyed. remarkable thing
about the entire walk was the grand
views all along, both near and far
Then the sunset across the valley. with
the long shadows. the purple and gold
of the sky and trees, was glorious in
the beautiful afterglow.
"Eakles Mill was reached about quar-
ter past 3. The small station is in
charge of c. 0. Eakles, grandson of the
man for whom the station was named.
The ruins, the foundation and water
wheel. of the old mill are still there.
The station itself was burned some
three years ago and an old brick and
frame dwelling is now used as home
and station by Mr.. Eakles and his
daughter Doris. We persuaded Doris
to make some coffee. and when she got
under way several of the young ladies
of the party joined in and helped her in
washing the dishes and assisting gem
orally
"As the real station was nix, and the
air had grown somewhat chilly, some
one suggested a campfire.
".Just the thing, Bring your lunch
boxes and some stray bits of wood,
suggested another, and, presto, the twi-
| light was frightened by the fires glow.
A circle was formed, and while a few
still were enjoying their lunch and cof-
| fee, Johnny Rosson and G. T. Aldridge

crowd in singing patriotic and religious
airs, including Maryland. My Mary

When the dry weather Is already

And you think twill rain forever more
