roomy sat upon shaded fair Qelds the warm glances with foil cropland cool groves landscape hereand there under whose drooping lazy kino stood panting I a bit of cool damp wood and Jet ray horse at lib laziest pace I enjoyed tW shade I felt a sense of I was within it- Some woods cheery and refreshing how ever This was ailont end gruesome sandy road was that my horses feet no sound and that added to the queer senw of solemnity I felt I nsEsed down a long gently sloping hill into a still more gloomy hollow Under a little bridge a struggling stream of surface water slowly with a melancholy faroff sea hill on other of the bridge was steeper then tho one I had just descended Tho top stretch ed out into a brood land nearly half a in length toward north though it shelved off west of road about yards Into a near the road flood a disused dilapidated mooting house When I saw it I instantly understood the impres sive loneliness of the wood No places are full of mysteriously sad influ ences as those wherein men and wo men have dwelt or met and then The loneliest mountain Is not so lonely as a deserted house though it stands in sight of cheery homes I am not afraid of ghosts in such places not weird chilling shapes exactly but ghosts of the hopes joys sorrows and which were born and which died This rude old meeting house un- painted decaying and grim as a primitive tow made wood still more desolate An unfrequent ed road crossed another a few yards north of it j trees sighed about it moss grew upon its rotten roof and wild grass and briars clambered about its sunken doorstep It told its mournful story without the aid of words lie plainly habited honest people who met beneath its roof in the past had vanished from tha earth and their descendants were scattered or had departed the faith of their fathers and belonged to the look at said attempting to be deed you look it every inch A grimace was lib only answer Still it a friendly grimace His dignity not permit him acquaintance too cosily mast all the advances Going to a picnic are you not asked that best way to open a conversation with him would bo interest in his affairs though method as applied to myself No a strew ho answered- Awhatr A strew he replied with a little annoyanco in his voioo a decoration day strew Dont you know that this Is tho day to decorate soldiers graves the 30th of May I had forgotten it I answered humbly But where are there any graves I Not near here sore ly Ho turned like a bird on the old fence and pointed with a flag Into a mass of brambles Not there Yea there a graveyard graveyard that belongs to old meeting house Every body that used to go to meeting there pointing to the house is in here now pointing again towards and weeds so there no more meetings I looked at the graveyard with pitying interest It was nothing but a square patch of dark weeds inclosed by a broken and wormeaten fence and surrounded by the thick and iilent wood Nothing could be more isolated from busy life more completely forgotten by the world- No not quite forgotten for here was the brownlegged boy with hit and bis flowers his whistle and song But soldiers are not buried Ono of them Is the boy answer ed with an accent of pride and an ad ditional wave of his flog Its bis grave Missus is goin to strew with thfse though he Wasnt any relation of hers at all He was a captain and he has marble headstone the only one In the graveyard Ills company put it up Its getting a little old now for been dead nearly twentyfour most fourteen years was born rattled this off with child like eagerness happy in being the first to toll a bit of something Interesting to another Were you in tho war he asked Yes So was my I picture of a fight ho in He was kitted too This with a special accent of pride- Jt wis something to bo killed evidently in his opinion Biding close to old fence I looked over into tho neglected place of tho dead and saw the of a marble it the dark folds of a womans gown Come In and see tho soldiers grave said the boy glad of a new Interest hesitated occasion seemed too sacred for the intrusion of a stranger but ho insisted warm ly I left my and followed him into the graveyard His simple but not undignified Introduction an to the lady unnecessary Missis Wilson ho gallantly of Ins hit this gentleman was in the war and Ive asked him In to help put the flowers on grave Wo were on common sympathy at once Tills woman was no longer young but she was beauti ful with beauty of a spirit that had long dwelt on caltu heights was of the past scarcely seeming to belong to present at all Her soft black silk and its laces and her face were of a fashion not new She lady with the gentle dignity and majesty of manner that indicate tho oldschool training This not my sons grave she bat that of dearest friend and I am tho only one left hero who knew him or cares to lay a flower on the earth that covers I bent to read the inscription on the fastdimming headstone To the memory- of A true friend and a brave soldier This stone is raised by Co Regiment I ho commanded closest friend continued the old in a soft sweet voice babies together achoolfellows com- rude and friends of each was as much the as his- They spent almost every hour of their together years They grew manners though they were totally- character Even names bled each other My boy was called Willis He was impetuous quick to anger not easy to con trol Wilbur bravo but to ways and of few words lovod music better than and dogs horses and tyros better than the society of most per sons I fancy I hear the piano under bis fingers when I sit and alone in my now child less and almost empty bouse And when quiet of evening cornea I sometimes close my eyes blot out a century and hear notes from bis violin float over the hills His mother and fath er my good neighbors lived over there house whose you can jnst see from and pointed through a break In wood They are long dead and lie here by side of their They were not members of Friends met in this little house bat their parents bad been and when they died be was after all no spot of ground in which to bury them more sacred than this though It is so desolate so very very But the boys I They wcro separated until a few months before tho war out My son grow raitlestv and talked of doing great things We had him here father and I foolish scuts that we were feel- that wo coald not let him go for ever You know that when once try their wings they never go back to tbo nest And we had only tho other child one girl our Katie At last the pressure upon his spirit rasped his over quick temper and he quarreled with his father left us in the night without a word Sho rose turned her face away and stood ao silent that I thought she meant to say no more But she went on presently stoop ing down and picking up a flower from the soldiers grave Never before had trial like that Ilia father had been stern with him I know but be loved him and I loved them both and now anger raged in their hearts towards each other One was gone where I could not help him and other hugged bis wrath in silence at home Oh the agony of those days One by one they went by without bringing a word from my boy The hours sat my heart moun tains of it almost kill ed us To tbink that our son our only son whom wo so loved had fled his borne like in the night and was wandering we knew not where At last Wilbur came to roe one day bringing a letter from Willis which had been sent within one to him Ho humbly to me beg ging mP to forgive his departure and Bearing mo again and again of love but said not a word of his father His heart was full of anger toward him I could see I that letter yet I have read It a thousand times It was the last line I over had from his hand in Georgia Why he South I do not yet Perhaps it was accident perhaps it was destiny Even then were were rumors of war and in a short time it burst upon the country In nil its ter ror and horror These hills soon echoed sounds of bugle and drum from night Down la the town companies were forming waited to be ordered toward the front Wilbur commanded a company and waited In camp for an order to depart Before he left the news came one day that our had joined the Confederate army that he was captain of a com pany I tried to doubt that awful story would not believe it I Thathehsd left us in anger was sorrow and of a Always this J the DaUiiOtA was the mother who had defied bis parents against country Three years later my died and was left alone of Willis often in the last of life But I w silent Not till long long after did find in my heart forgiveness for erring son J realUd a hut hid no right to judge him that perbsps I to I know passions sorrow and evils of became as nothing the sweep of time Ho was In the trenches of cannot lay a flower on grave io I on day they honor soldiers and lay my tributes n that body of Wilbur beat beloved friend Somehow fed that Willis understands and know that in my heart are flowers of affec tion for him They were both deai to mevery dear to mo if sorely understands have Jong that and have ceased to grieve Both my boys are safe safe and dead ii well wife She ceased to speak and stood with hand resting on the soldiers head- atone her eyes seeing visions of Kit and nothing of the present aat iu the grass at the foot of giavo with tears down brown cheeks The tale had touch him little as he could understand deep tragedy of it And I hear the and thunder of war saw the blaring fires of battle and felt in a rush of memory fierca fever of those vanished days of car nage The boy followed me oot to tho roadside Do you think he said earnestly as I mounted my hone do you thick there will be another war her in my time I think not I hope not I an swered He looked disappointed I said eagerly for I have a sword that was grand- I rode away from that lonesome- spot full of aad thought con- strife and anger seemed so needles all suffering so gratuitous Yet thank God and rest al ways come at last Oliver Every man must patiently bide time He must wait not inlsitlctsidlenvss but constant cheerful endeavors always willing and fulfilling and accomplish ing task
