AM writing on Wednesday, April
8, but thinking of April 0, fifty
years ago, when two powerful
American armies came together the
last time to fight after having fought
for nearly four years in a score or
more great battles. not to mention
many smaller ones; the day upon
which one of these armies, that of the
Army Of Northern Virginia, which had
been under the command OF Gen. Rob
ert e. Lee ever since June, 1862. sur
rendered to General U. s. Grant, com
mander Of all the armed forces of
the Union.

the rest of the Union prevented the
South from leaving the Union to build
up a southern confederacy. That is
why / say, fifty years after the mo
mentous event. it was a great day for
both armies and the nation.
Many things happened at Appomat.
tox aside from the one ov1rshadowing
event. One of them is the fact that
Grants soldiers and Lees soldiers be-
gan to fraternize as soon as possible

STEKETEE heard her coming. He
banged down the roll-top of his desk,
grabbed his straw hat, and stalked petu-

with significant fingers. "Wait until we
get outside, and I'll tell you something, :"
she whispered mysteriously.

silence until they were out of doors and
across the street. Then he barked:
"Well, what is it?"
