~ lannon's were booming down
81 the valley and at intervals
there was the sharp rattle of
musketry. Bodies of soldiers,
some in blue and some in gray, were
seen in places along the valleys and
broken ground. But they were all far
from the little rain-washed crevice on
the side of the mountain where an old
negro stood scanning the distant
scene as well as his half blind eyes
would permit. After looking he would
return to the farthest end of the
crevice.
"Is de fitin' all over yit, SOS we kin
go long, Lonzo?"
Il reckon hit III never git done," said
the old man, nodding his head to the
frightened woman, who crouched down
into the smallest possible space.
1t was no wonder she was afraid
for the war had swept away the last
member of her old masters family.
And nothing remained of the fine plan
tatOn and home but blackened Chin
neys, for the tide of war had swept
back and forth over it until all was
gone.
Alonzo went to the edge of the little
rift in the mountainside and looked
down the valley, but his bleared eyes
were filed with tears he dared not
shed, and his broad chest heaved with
the sobs he held in check. Finally he
cleared his throat with a mighty eff
fort and said:
81 reckon we might git ober the
ridge fo' 6ahk, but we got ter creep
mighty close to de gully tell we reach
de timbah. Mebbe we fin fahmeh
w'at'll give us bite an let us sleep in
hees BAN. Come"
With many groans the woman rose
to her feet tottering with weakness,
for since the sweeping away of her
masters family, the destruction of the
plantation, and the death of their chill
dren these two had suffered terribly
from privation. For the last three
days they had lived entirely upon wild
fruit. But they struggled onward
toward Washington, where in their
simple hearts they believed the good,
the tender, the human Lincoln would
make them welcome.
They had their Sunday garments in
little bundles, and in her bosom care
fully wrapped from injury or contami-
nation was an orange cypria. Its rich
colors and beautiful form had so
charmed her that her young mistress,
whom she had loved and nursed with
the unselfish devotion of a dog, gave
it her. She held it in her hands the
night she died and when Lureeny had
asked if it were not very precious the
dying girl said:
eyes, Lureeny, it is precious, very
precious. Cousin Godfrey brought it
to me, and he has gone where 1 shall

soon follow. Never part with it so
long as you live, and when you die
give it to the best person you know"
Then she kissed the cypria. In that
moment her eyes closed, and her last
sigh drifted into the beautiful shell.
Now, Lureeny was going to give this
precious thing to her hero, the COM
passionate Lincoln. Who but he was
worthy of this gift over which had
swept the pure breath Of the maiden
who died of broken heart? Some
times Lureeny put the shell to her ear
and the soft breath of her young mis-
tress seemed to be signing inside.
Days the poor old couple journeyed
on, weary and disappointed that the
way was so interminable. At last they
reached a height from which they
could see in the distance the goal of
their efforts, the city of Washington.
They both lifted their hands in joy
and thankfulness. ct was more beau
tiful than they had dreamed.
"Oh, 'Lonzo, it is like the new Jeru-
salem. But Use too plum tuckered out
to go on tonight. Well eat a snack,
an den set hyar till daylight, and deD

tree an I'll cubber you up mld our bes'

The feeble eyes of the old man
were clear enough to see that Lureeny
was very weak and weary. She re-
piled:
you hasn't got a bit O. sense. But,
I duz feel kinder chillin! Pears like
sumpin in hyar is plum wore out, dess
like ole clock mos run down. And,
if we tu'n 'em inside out"
Lureeny felt strangely weak and
cold. A chill such as she had never
felt before benumbed her by degrees
So strange did she feel that she called
her husband.

Here the husky voice broke off and
AlonzO was alone.
Who could depict the grief and an
guish of the poor old man as he sat
that long night through beside the
dead form of his wife? In the morn
ing some other refugees came along
and helped him to bury her wrapped
carefully in her "store clothes.'
Then Alonzo started on his mission.

and rebuffs passed, but always the
white head and wrinkled face haunted
the grounds. He was not allowed to
see the president.
At last one day, worn out by his
sufferings he sank at the foot of a
tree just as the joyous voice of child
was heard. The boy was none other
than Tad, the Benjamin of his fathers
heart. Tad saw the poor old man
vainly trying to rise and went to him
frankly and fearlessly. Young as he
was he saw that the old man was in
a sad state and asked if he wanted
anything.

Mass Linkum. I done got sumpin
berry precious fo' he all, but dey won't
let me see him."
swell, you come with me-" said the
lad, with spirit.
Alonzo could scarcely totter to
place where the boy seated him on a
bench saying:
"Wait here a minute. I'll bring
him.
Tears streamed down the old mans
face. He was weak from hunger and
exposure, and the death Of his wife
was a great blow. He fumbled in his
pocket and brought out the SHE'LL and
thinking that the cloth around it was
too soiled he threw it away, and then
before him stood the tall form, with
the rugged features of his face aglow
with deep compassion that was part
of his nature. The great man, great
in all things, sat down by Alonzo say
ing pleasantly:
well, uncle, what is it?"
"Oh, Massa Linkum, praise de Lord
dat I done lib to see dis day. Here
is gif' fo' you from Lureeny-my-
wife. She died afo' she could glib hit
herself. She say hit am berry precious.
and she done hab to glib hit to de bes'

Saying this Alonzo held out his toll
deformed hand with the beautiful
shell cleaning in ray of sunshine
that filtered through the tree on his
dark palm.
who is gone, but do not feel that
deserve it."
ooh, yes, you do, daddy. Yes, you
dol" said Tad eagerly.
Then the homely face of Lincoln
quivered and his eyes suddenly burned.
Only Lincoln's great heart could I'M
derstand the pathos of this gift and
appreciate it. 1t was all the giver
had He coughed two or three times
before he could speak.
"Tell me about yourself and where
you came FROM"
Alonzo was a man of few words,
but his tale was even the stronger for
that, as he told of their sufferings on
their way toward the realization of
their hopes. AS he finished, the old
man tainted and sank to the ground.
Kind hands raised him, fed him, and
took him to a hospital where he ended
his days in a comfort he had never
known. His last words were: Lord
bless Mass Linkum. and give him the
desire of hees heart

young Confederate officer. Few know
