She was deeply moved by the
girls sympathy and more than ever
convinced that her sons choice was
wise.
Deke drove Joyce slowly back to
the apartment. He went up with
her without waiting for an invita-
ton. Got present for you." he
said, squeezing her elbow.
Joyce shuddered a little. She had
enough of presents for a while.
She was glad that Frankly had swept
and garnished the apartment,
Frankly had asked no questions
Nhen Joyce had dumped Carriers
offering of flowers into the waste
can that morning. She, too, guessed
that Joyce and Carter had reached
climax and she was glad that
Joyce had thrown off the handsome
man-about-town's influence.
Now Joyce thrilled with gratitude
to Frankly that she could bring Deke
in and find no evidence of the previ-
Gus evenings storm.
Deke settled himself comfortably
and lighted a cigaret. Dad looks
pretty well all in, doesn't he?" he
commented.
ooh, Deke, it's a shame. never
felt so sorry for anyone in my life.

"Sorrier than 1 can tell you. For
things at the plant are in a bad
way. Father must have been letting
the business slip for a long time.
I've got to work like three men to
pull it through. The disgrace of a
failure there would kill him, I'm
afraid"
"Then you won't have much time
to"

VERY little, Joyce, and very little
time, too, for you these next few
months. I'm sorry, dear, for had
planned to give you real rush and
lot of fun. But right now Deke's
got his hands full of chemical and
all he can do is want to see you"
But you'll be here in Cleveland,
and we can talk over the phone to
each other and whenever you are
free I'll drop everything to be with
YOU" Joyce promised.
"Joyw his tone was eager. Twill
you do something for me now?"
Anything you ask" she said
softly.
II wish could take you all the
way on that" he answered. I'd
carry you off to minister tonight.
But I'm going to be a poor man,
maybe. and I'm going to be a busy
man certainly; no time for a honey
moon now, is there, JOY, girl?'
II guess not" said Joyce, half
wondering whether if Deke asked
her tonight she could run away
from Carriers proposals and win
back her self-respect.
But am going to ask you to
take this" Deke went on, giving her
small white box.
Joyce opened it. Her eyes caught
the CLEAN of a solitaire set in plati-
mum with ring of sapphires around
it.
"Deke!
"It's for you, Joyce, whenever you
want to wear it" he took her band.
Tonight" he questioned.
But Joyce slowly shook her head.
She could not promise.
Deke laid his head against her
hands. will you keep it, Joyce,
darling, and let me hope that some
day you will wear it,"

DR.. Muller proved that the little

Leader in Ceremony at Monument

compensations for the deiay in the
beauty and the appropriateness of the
memorial and in the demonstration of
the enduring quality Of his fame.
Cites Gettysburg Victory.
"As is indicated by the inscription
before it. this monument has been
erected by the great Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania to the memory of one
of her distinguished sons. But in this
case there is double reason for this
honor. because in one of the great bat.
ties of history he met and turned back
in defeat almost at the border a mighty
army bent on the invasion of that
State. Every one with even the most
elementary knowledge of American
history knows that Meade was vic
torious at Gettysburg. That in and of
itself would be sufficient warrant to
unending acclaim by his fellow coun-
trymen. But informed students of the
war know that he played n vital part
throughout its whole course. He was
a modest man, accustomed to giving
credit to others rather than himself.
Lacking the partisan support of
those high in Office and of the public
press, he had little opportunity to be
glorified during his lifetime. But
finally justice comes to be done; time
sets it's clearer, truer estimate. The
records more and more reveal Gen.
Meade as gallant soldier and Chris
tian gentleman. He was the great
commander of the Army Of the Poto-
mac. 1t was that great force which
for nearly four years held in check the
ablest officers in the main military eff.
fort of the Confederacy. That army

half of its history. from June 2S 1868,
until It was dishan nded after Appomat

alone. He was displaced not by de
feat but by victory.
"The military record of Gen. Meade
may be said to begin in 1881, when he
entered the Military Academy at West
Point from Pennsylvania. In 1885 he
retired to private life, mainly on ac
count of impaired health. But he re-
turned to the Army in 1912. where he
remained until his death in Philadel
phia. November 6. 1872. While he was
out of the Army he was engaged in a
survey of the mouth of the Mississippi
River. There he made some original
experiments. which in later years led
Maj. Gen. Humphreys to investiga,
tions by which he discovered the
causes which formed bars and shoals
at the mouth of the river. He re.
entered the Army as second lieuten
ant in the Corps of Topogra aphical En-
gineers. After serving on the staffs
of Gen. Taylor and Gen. Scott during
the Mexican War, we find him in 1857
as the chief engineer of the geodetic
survey of the Great Lakes, where his
scientific work was highly commended
by the Smithsonian Institution.

"At the outbreak of the war he was
about to accept command of a Michi-
gan volunteer regiment when Gov.

President Coolidge, in accepting the
Meade memorial from the State of
Pennsylvania, spoke as follows this
afternoon;
Ladies and Gentlemen;
america has ever been the most
generous to those who have rendered
service in time of war. We have not
only been lavish in the public honors
which have been conferred upon our
veterans. but we have also bestowed
upon them pensions and Sratuities
reaching down to every man in The
ranks, with which no other country
can make any comparison Such
beneficences accorded to Civil War
veterans will probably exceed twice
the cost of that great war. although
it lasted for space of four years. 1t
has been in this field, rather than in
the direction Of memorials and monu-
ments. which might correspond TO the
resources of our country and the inn
portance of the men and events cum
memorated, that our action has been
most conspicuous. 1t took the better
part Of a century to raise a fitting
monument to Washington. nearly 60
years to express our appreciation of
Lincoln, and about the same length
of time to place statue to Grant in
the Capital City of the Nation.
This condition arose from no lack
of appreciation of distinguished serv-
ices. but rather from IA lack of app:e-
citation of what might be done in the
way of public adornment through the
agencies of architecture and sculpture.
1t cannot be denied that some of the
efforts which the Government has
made, both in buildings and in monu-
ments. have served to confirm the i'm
preston that they do not always IN
crease the beauty of their surround
ings. 1t is a satisfaction to realize
that a change has come over public
opinion. We have made a marked
increase in our ability for artistic ex-
preston. 1t is not to be wondered at.
therefore, that While some memorial
has been raised to a number Of his
comrades. it was not until the present
time that a statue has been erected in
this city in honor of Maj. Gen. George
