Before Bransome departed it was
understood that they were engaged.
And Lionel Travis ring reposed in
Bransome's pocket to be handed to
the agent if they met. Bransome
would affect ignorance of the contents
of the little box. 1t was a cruel mis-
sion, but there was no way of getting
a letter to Travis, who might be in
any part of the coast.
Bransome sailed the following day,
and. fifteen days later, arrived with
his regiment at the coast town. All
the interior was in a ferment. The
regiment was sent up hastily tc the
base, where 1t halted while the pio-
neers cut roads through the forest.
And 1t was there hat Bransome met
Travis.
He was to accompany the column
as political delegate to the loyal tribes.
The two men, who knew each other,
greeted each other warmly, though

together afterward. When Travis rose
to depart to his quarters Bransome
spoke of Mary Starr for the first time.
She asked me to give you this" he
said, honding him the little box con-
tanning the ring.
"Thanks!" said Travis indifferently,

The column started a day or two
later, Travis accompanying it.. Often
tn men exchanged words. Bransome
would look %curiously at Travis, but he
could gather nothing from the agents
inscrutable countenance.
There was, however, littlu time for
thinking. On the sixth day the one
my's stronghold a sighted. The
messenger who went forward with a
summons % surrender was met with
defiant shouts from the negroes. Half
an hour later the seven-pounders
opened fire on the rebel stockade.
A fusillade from elephant guns fol-
lowed, but few of the attacking party
were hit. Presently the guns ceased;

The regiment spread out in line.

Then he saw Travis beside him in
his civilian clothes. The agents

mark for an enemy. go back, you
fool" Bransome shouted.
But Travis ran beside him, and
Bransome had no time for argument.
The whole line followed, with fixed
bayonets, roaring behind him. The
bullets churned among the trees and
cut splinters from the boughs. Show
ers of leaves came down.
The yelling, defiant Krus manned
the walls of the preached stockade.
The ~assaulting party was compelled
to form into column to mount the
breach. And now the enemy displayed
its secret resource, nothing less than
an old brass ships gun, which might
have lone good service in the sixties,
and was none the less effective here.

IDN'T it make you glad yesterday
 \ when you saw the flags flying A and heard the drums beating, and the bands playing, and met the gallant heroes of the south-"the boys in gray = that you were the son or daughter Of Confederate hero?
 Didn't your heart beat twice as fast as you felt the warm clasp of some splendid gray -haired veteran, and didn't 1t make you love the Host cause" more than ever, and with all your warm, impulsive southern nature. Didn't you glory in the fact that these were the fellow comrades of your soldier father, and now were they not your comrades-those who are left yours by divine right of loyalty, sincerity and love?
 You couldn't have talked to Gen. Ben nett H. Young as I did-the beloved and honored commander-in-c chief of the United Confederate veterans-and not felt that way.
 I've always loved the Host cause" and
 our dear soldiers with all my heart; I re-
 mep.ber once in school that it came my
 turn ill the history class to relate the in-
 cident about how Stonewall Jackson was
 wounded by one of his own men, and I burst into tears and covered my face with
 my books--it hurt SO.
 General Young stands for all that Is chivalrous, honorable splendid, fine-all that is expected of, and accredited to, the ole school southern gentleman and sol dier.
 Towering above his fellow men in stature, his slender, alert form at the age of f2 is as erect as boy of 20; his clear, searching eye is as bright as a girls, and his snow white hair above his noble brow shows that time has dealt kindly with him in spite of the silvered years.
 General Young has been honored above
 many men in many ways, particularly in his relation to the Confederate Veterans He has held all the positions in the United Confederate Veterans association; commandant of camp, adjutant general l of the division, commander of the Ken lucky division for F years, two years commander of the department of the Army of Tennessee and four years com mander-in-chief of the United Confeder- ate Veterans, succeeding General Gordon who, by the way, was the youngest man who ever held the office. and the only l man under the rank of brigadier general upon whom the honor was ever con ferred.

 These words swept the mighty gather ing off it's feet in one loud, tumultuous storm, and unanimously General Young was accorded the most thrilling ovation ever witnessed by an audience composed Of southern and northern men.

prove yourselves TO be good children
of the country which has adopted you.
The duty toward Japan. BY yir.

a remark at the last graduation exer-

So you are in favored situation to
contribute your share toward better
