in Danville, Va. That was in 1862. He
said that at the close of the civil war

He told me that he attached him
self to the service of Lieut.. Charles
Bundy of that regiment. Not long
after reaching Washington Lieut.
Bundy was married to Miss Mary

near Oxon Hill, and then found work
on the farm of David Fountain, near
Good Hope
He spoke with particular kindliness
of Dave Fountain and his daughter
Bessie, who still lives on the old
place. He spoke happily of two men
of the Good Hope neighborhood, and

Jinkins meant to give them, they are

Hopkins. They are no longer of this
world, but Rays son Charlie. who

about eight years. and told me that
he never "haid a cross word, an /
kerried on de farm, an, Mr.. Ray he
never knowed what war planted an

He told me of an immensely rich
friend who has helped him through
gloomy times when the meal and
bacon got low. Il KANT let i'm go

After mentioning half of Washing
ton and most of Chicago in an Off
hand way, Ed pointed emphatically to
small and pleasant frame dwelling
a few hundred yards away.
l asked Ed what he does to get
along and he told me that his work

The Rambler cannot guess what
the effect on you would be had this
adventure been yours. He fancies
that great many persons with diff
ferent slants of mind read these ram
bles. At least, he hopes that a good
many persons read them. But as the
Rambler sat on the doorsill in that
tangled garden of lilacs and roses,
certain ruminations stirred in his
mind. Here was a man who was born
a slave and sold to a stranger in an
other state. Behind the Confederate
lines he saw tragic scenes of the civil
war. He was not far from the the
ater of operations where the Army of
Northern Virginia was surrendered.
He heard crowds talking of Apo
| mattox, and he saw groups of ragged,
ill-fed men. who had followed their
flag with as heroic devotion and
glorious courage as any flag was ever
followed; he saw these men trudging
home. He saw the streets of his lit
| tie town and the dusty roads thronged
| with the soldiers of Grant, who from

across all the bloody and corpse
strewn fields from the Rappahannock
TO the James had carried the banner
of the Union.
He heard crowds talking of the
murder of Lincoln, a man whom he
and all his race almost deified. He
came to Washington with that great
flow of troops and camp followers in
the spring of 1865. 30 doubt that
"feefty ?fo'th regiment" passed in the
grand review.

SEPARATED from his soldier hero
he went back to the soil and
worked on farms beyond the Eastern
Branch. All his early and middle
manhood he plowed, hoed and chop
ped. Wages for that work were so
small that the margin between food
and hunger was often narrow and
never wide.
The buying of that little lot and
building the house were the realiza-
tion of a dream of years. There had
been deep "cogitation" on il. De-
ferred payments. interest and taxes
often sore perplexed him. But. when
the cold wind blows, that house is
home-the best home he has known.
And when the coal-oil lamp shines on
the kitchen table and a wood fire
crackles in the cook stove, it is a
CHEEKY place to Ed.
This man is religious. AS the fires
of youth went out, he turned to spirit
things, and he might write a record,
though he never will, of famous bush
meetings, March baptisms in icy
rivers, of revivals and of preachers
great throngs, but whose names you
have never heard.
The Rambler is sure that this lowly
man has never read a line of the dis
pute between the fundamentals and
the modernists, the strict construc-
tionsts and those who construe at
will. Ed is a fundame ntalist. He is
content. He believes. He has given
little thought to the siege of Troy,
but he has heard all about Joshua S
conquests. Gideon's battle with the
Midianites, Saurs rout Of the Am
monites and Jonathan's slaughter of
Philistines. He is weak on Agamem-
non, Achilles and Hector, but strong
on Moses. Samson and David, and
which of you will say that it IS more
useful to know the myths of Greece
than Bible men?
You remember that last Sunday the
RambleN told you that on coming to
the site of the old and happy Worth
ington home near Good Hope, he
found it taken by the barn and cabin
of George Washington, describi 1g
whom, an old neighbor said: He jes'
jogs aroun' doin' a little haulin, a
little plowin', chopin wood an
hucksterin' fo' a livin.' Since writ
ing that the Rambler has not met
George, but has talked with his wife,
Mary Washington. She is old fash
ioned, has not bobbed her hair, and
she smokes a pipe. On busy business
days, she offers herbs for sale outside
the market "Befo' de wah" she was

Hogs Prices Day by Day

Despite a decided decrease IN re-

trading at the local livestock market
today as the result OF a dearrn of
shipping orders that left the market
largely in the hands Of local packers.

having taken more than half the days
receipts Of $500 head, inclusive Of
1900 holdovers from Fridays mar
ket. Trading was done on a 1875
basis for all weights and classes, one
load Of fancy 275-pound hogs having
brought a premium of nickel for a
top Of $780, The feature of the days
market was the steadiness In pigs at
$3.50 down for 140-pound kinds. Sows
reflected the general decrease by sell
ing weak to Csc lower at $3.50 down,
due to lack of competition and the
demand from packers for lighter
grades. Compared with a week ago,
hog prices were generally nickel
higher, all weights and classes hav-

Trading in the cattle market was
unusually duh as the result Of light
