Abraham Lincoln once said, away
back in 1887:
"From 1777 to 1870 long years
the Nation has thrived and grown
great In the visible presence Of the
surviving heroes and heroines Of the
Revolution, the very sight Of them in
spring us. But now, in 1887, these
are all gone, with few exceptions, and
the Nation is closing the door upon
the herOism Of the past; and must
now turn and face, without this In
spiration, a future, which / cannot
hIlON, dlh Noi III hilON, diIu Ohi
God Himself can foretell."
SO in 1923 we Of this day and gen
Grafton have thrived and grown great
for 60 long years in the visible pres
ence Of the heroes Of 1868. Now the
heroes of that time-and no finer,
smarter fighting men ever marched at
the double-quick-are bent and
stopped, tired by the long march, a.
most ready to break ranks fF the
last bivouac.
But for TIE next 60 years of TIE
nation there is a new heroism-the
heroism of the boys in Khaki. May
the coming generations thrive and
grow great in their visible presence.
May their visible presence be as IN
spring as that Of the men Of 1776 and
the men OF 1861!
"The loftiest tribute we can bestow
today-the heroically earned tribute
fashioned in deliberate conviction,
out OF unclouded thought. neither
shadowed by mors nor made vain
by fancies, is the commitment OF this
Republic to IN advancement never
made before" said President Harding
at the burial of the Unknown Dead"
at Arlington. IF American achieve
ment is a cherished pride mt home, if
our unselfshness among nations is all
we wish it to be. and ours Is n help
full example in IL world, then let us
give our influence and strength, yea,
Of our aspirations and convictions, TO
put mankind on a little higher plane,
exulting and eXalting, with vars dis.

Time, they say, heals all wounds.
1t is well that it does. But time, also,
grasses memories. And this is not
so well. Time should not be allowed
to entice us away from the music of
the b~oisterous drum and silver voice
Of the heroic bugle" of the days OF
1865. American citizenship came
out of the crash Of combat, not only
unscathed and unblemished, but also
enriched and glorifed, and 1t was for
that very citizenship the war was
fought.
The Spanish-American war vas a
short war and soO over. But 1t was
a tremendously important war for all
that. This war put the American
Navy on the Seven Seas to stay. 1t
made the United States a w%orld-power
over night. 1t was to the world an
object lesson that the American Of
1898 was still the same old fighting
man Of 1916 and 1912 and 1S4S and
1861.
And it was in this war that the
Blue and the Gray first blended into the
Khaki. When Miles and Wheeler
fought under the r-Spangled Ban
ner and drove the ~bloOd-red flag OF
Spain with it's yellow heart from It's
last staff in the Western Hemisphere,
the way was clear for complete recon
Citation between the North and South.
One day in 1898 a great transport
Of the United States, bearing 1000
American soldiers and sailors, left q
dock in the Hudson river for the Phil
ippines. This great ship turned north
instead Of south and steamed slowly
I'D the Hudson to the tomb Of Grant.
And then q mighty salute was given.
When the Grant memorial was dedi-
Gated in Washington it was a veteran
in Gray who flung out the Flag and
said: ale gave us this!'
No more reverent homage is paid
at the tomb Of the Unknown Dead"
in Arlington than by the Gray veterans
Of 1861.
Said President Harding last month
at Augusta-and remember that it was
through Georgia that Sherman
marched "from Atlanta to the sea-"
II believe the framing Of the
Constitution was inspired | believe it
with Gods intent, and yet there was
an ambiguity in this Constitution that
brought the North and South together
In Il great civil war, and that ambigu-
ity had to be wiped out at great costs
and yet, again, this is one of the best
things that has ever happened TO the
American republic, because it has
! brought us to a greater understand
ing.
II want to say now, l don't believe
there is q vestige of the Civil war feel
ing left in the United States. l spoke

The ground fought oyer varied In
width, but averaged three-quarters of
a mile. The killed, and many Of the
severely wounded of both armies lay
within this belt, where it was practi-
callv impossible to reach them. The
woods were set on fire by the bursting
shells and the c~onflagratiOn ragged. The
wounded who had not strength to
move themselves were either suffo-
Gated or burned to death. Finally,
the fire communicated with our breast

wood they burned with great fury. But

unfailing common sense and her
quick insight into his affairs delighted
Bruce. Her new womsnliness, her
Difference, was balm 10 him.
Then their companionship was
broken for time. Bruce's father
was i'll and sent fer him.
Bruce asked Muriel to accompany
him. but she refused, saying:
1T is no pleasure for me 10 see
you making a fuss over your father
and that old housekeeper - giving
them the affection that belongs to
me- He urged her no further, feel
ing that in the mood she was and
because of the attitude she took ner
going would do his father no good.
Il shall stay as long as l am
needed" he said when she asked how
soon he would return.
NO one needs you as l do" had
been her reply.
Days passed and still Bruce lin
his bed. He had fretted for his son.
Bruce assured him he would remain
as long as he desired him to. The
doctor had expressed grave fears for
the invalid who had never been u
strong man.
Almost every day came a message
from Muriel, either a letter or tele-
gram, demanding his return. He wrote
kindly. telling her he would not come
until his father was able TO Sit up.
But his letters had no effect. Her de-
mands continued.
IL am i'll. too. Your place is with
me-" and similar messages were sent
continually. Even when away Bruce
could not escape from her insistent
calls upon him. her reminders or rhe
duty he owed her. When he looked
at his sick father the father who had
been so good to him. and who had
tried to make friends with Muriel,
Bruce almost hated her. Her selfish
ness appeared colossal when directed
against the lonely old man..
Mr.. Longworth had hold him TO
stay as long as he was needed and
that they would manage without him.
although he conceded that Bruce
would be missed, and that others
might not handle as efficiently the
work laid out for him,

said, business can wait, And as
day by day his father grew weaker

Bruce saw Lulu often now, as often

never had experienced-the happiness
of being understood, of sympathetic
companionship. Like children they
talked and told their plans. Chivalry
and pride kept him from ever men
tioning Muriel, but Lulu knew with
out being told that he was not happy
in his home. At times he would be
gloomy and distract when first, with
her. But she cleverly drew him out
of himself and after a bit she always
. made him forget everything but her.
He had offered no more caresSes,
but the memory of that embrace, that
kiss, fingered with them both.
He cares-he wouldn't have kissed
me as he did if he didn't" Lulu often
/ soliquized, while Bruce warned him

Il must be careful! 1 can't trust

Naturally, in town like Westfield
they could not meet often without
it becoming known. Tom and Ann
Mason often discussed the gossip,
. Tom wondering if he ought to speak
to Bruce.
= "Poor chap, / can't blame him
much" he said TO Ann after one of
their discussions. "If you were like
: his wife I'd go philandering myself"
Just let me catch you, I'd pull
your hair" she returned laughingly.
Becoming serious again she said:
! I'm not so afraid of Bruce-if it
was a different kind Of girl. But

.day just to sound him l asked how
she was doing and he said she was
doing well and making good in every

him more mistakenly than ever.
