 reached that bridge in tracing back your ancestry?"
 NO, I've only read of it,, replied Dr. Little.
 The conversation continued for some minutes, when Dr. Little said to Colonel Gunter: T was in Montgomery at a reunion a few years ago, anu there were two persons l tried to find you and Tom Owens. But ' didn get to see either of you"
 In a few minutes the name of the elder General Gorgas was mentioned. "Yes, yes, fine man." commented Colonel Gunter feelingly. Do you know" he continued, its pity to leave-unless you grow old like us"
 Yes. but most of my friends have already gone over" replied Dr. Little.
 "An of mine have,' continued Colo mel Gunter, I'm the only one of my class left.' And there was pathos in his voice that was touching.
 At this point pr. Little drew from his pocket paper which he handed to Colonel Gunter.
 Gan you read this?" he asked.
 "Oh, yes, I can read anything--but Greek" replied Colonel Gunter quickly
 You never could read Greek, could you% queried Miss Gorgas, and Colo mel Gunter did not reply.
 The paper contained list of the hundred oldest living graduates of the university in 1878. The two old gem tlemen started ruminating through the list of names that were so familiar to both of them.
 The first one is Dr. Richardsons," commented pr. Little. Hes died since; he was S4"
 Well, I'm going to live to be a hundred announced Colonel Gunter, and no one present could find any cause to disagree with him.
 In a few minutes the circle broke up. and pr. Little went with the re- rcrter to a typewriter where the lat ter could copy the list of HOO Oldest Living Graduates in 187S."
 Thus ended a thoroughly unusual and exceedingly interesting conversa- tion, and while the press correspon- dent failed in his purpose of extract ing from Colonel Gunter a story of days that were" at the "Capstone" he was favored by kind fortune in overhearing this conversation, which was not intended for the press, but WhASh VIII, HO aOuDt, PiONO iulcIcS lillsg to vast number of friends of the university and of these two old gen. tlemen over the state.
