An Onward Struggle
1 struggled to get out of my slough
of despond and to find an answer
for the beautiful gracious woman
who still held my hand in her slim,
SCARED one. But I couldn't find
words. Mrs. Bryce filled in the gap
Jim's friend wasn't awkward like his
wife.
I'VE a splendid idea If your little
Princess dosen't mind. We've n big

old peas in a much-too-big pod. We're

some of the boys with whom you and
my poor Atherton went across in 1915.
viii you come, Mrs. Harrison? Jimmie
surely has still a place in his heart
for his old pals-and perhaps we can
dance a bit"
She swept us along with her to her
limousine. 1t was a great monster of
battleship gray with a wonderful or
chard in her green coat with the
purple cushions framing her. I won
cred if she were as cold and unat-
tainable as she looked, warm and
sweet as she seemed when she spoke
to Jimmie boy"
Miss Moss was pIVsented-a dull
little PERSON with soft gray hair, an
apologetic voice and a chinchin that
wabbled like the gelatine we used to
have for desert at my clearinghouse
Wednesdays. There never was more
dolorless, flavorless little lady-some-
how she made me think of a poached
egg.
Another Little Jar
After a drive that seemed to me
hours long, could see lighted hotels
and hear the ocean--a great roaring
creature, and murmurtng $riend
like our little bay.

lot to talk over. but that will walt

ory and to his children their great
est heritage.
Have you ever seen a party of
Civil War veterans foregathered for
camp fire or reunion? Their Great
Adventure was the liberation of the
slaves and the salvation of the
Union. Honors and experiences in
abundance have come to them in
later years. but their service with the
flag is the great outstanding feature
of their lives"
Now I feel like adding to the
above this one thought, that the
Grand Army of the Republic" has
been very prominent contributing
factor in the grand, spontaneous up
rising of the American youth of to-
day. These young men who by the
million are now beneath the colors,
have been accustomed, from their
earliest years, to seeing the solemn
professions of aged G.. A. r. veterans
on each Mem 1orial Day and at the
funerals of comrades. They had come
instinctively to view with reverence,
almost with awe, the men who had
dared the bloody track of battle to
keep our nation undivided. For more
than half a century the G.. A. r. has
been a constant, tangible lesson of
patriotism to the youth of the land.
