ANNONS were booming down
E the valley and at intervals
A there was the sharp rattle of
musketry. Bodies ~ soldiers,
some in blue and some ia gray. were
seen in places along the valleys and
broken ground. But they were all far
from the little rain-washed creyice 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
Creyice.

Il reckon hit II never git done" said
the old man. nodding his head to the
frightened woman, who crOuched down
into the smallest possible space.
II 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
tation and home but blackened chin
ucys. 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 TO dahk, but we got ter creep
mighty close TO de gully tell we reach
dc timbah. Mebbe we fin a fahmeh
w'atn give US a bite an let US sleep in

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 uurSed with
the unseliiSh devotion of a dog, gave

night she died and when Lureeny had
asked if it were not very precious the
dying girl said:

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
yainly trying to rise and went TO him
frankly and fearIessly. Young as he
was he saw that the old man was in
sad state and asked if he wanted
anything.
Yes, young massa, 1 wants TO see
Mass Linkum. 1 done got sUmpin
berry precious TO he all, but dey won't
let me see him."
"Well, you come with me- said the
lad, with spirit.
Alonzo could scarcely totter to q
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 shell. and
thinking that the cloth around il was
too Soiled he threw it away, and then
before him stood the tall form, with
the rugged features of his face agIow
with deep compassion that was part
Of his nature. The great man, great
in all things, sat down by AIonzo say
ing pleasantly:
We'll, uncle, what is it?''
"Oh, MasSa Linkum, praise de Lord
dat l done lib 10 see dis day. Here
is a gif' 70 you from Lureeny-my-
wife. She died afo' she could glib hit
hersef. She say hit am berry precious.
and she done hab to glib hit to de bes'
puSson libbin'-and she was a chiIIin'

Saying this AlonzO held out his toll
deformed hand with the beautiful
shell cleaning in a ray of sunshine
that filtered through the tree on his
dark palm.
i thank you for the gift, and she
who is gone, but do not feel that I
deserve IT,"
"oh, YES, you do, daddy. Yes, YOU
do !" said Tad eagerly.
Then the homely face of Lincoln
qulvered and his eyes suddenly burned
Only Lincoin's great heart could IN
oefstand the pathos OF this gift and
appreciate IL II was all the giver
had. He coughed two or three times
before he could speak.
Tell me about yourself and where
you came FROM

Raw Grifin's father died from the
effects of a shock suffered some weeks
ago in the home of his daughter at
Fairfax. His funeral took place from
Curtis undertaking rooms the hrst

town are improving except some OF
the elderly people, who remain about
the same.
The annual Methodist donation
(chicken-pie supper) was held at

spite of the severe storm a great
crowd filled the tables from 6 o'clock
until nearly 8. Seventy-five people
came up from Newport, two large
sleighloads, small teams and others
by train. The townspeople also turn
ed out we'll The supper was the best
ever and plenty of chicken-pie and all
the fixings for everybody and then
some. The entertainment was partly
by home talent and partly furnished
by the city people and was excellent.
The amount taken in was $135 with
only $40 or $12 of this amount for
expense, hall rent and incidentals.
The biggest and best donation the
Methodist people ever held. Thanks
to all who assisted in any way.
