Being the Story of a Happy >
1 Decoration Day. i
By MANDA L. CROCKER. >
"Isn’t Genie going, too?”
Vinnie Egerton, Aunt Helen's guest,
paused to glance back over her pink
shoulder knots at a neat figure in gray
standing in the center of the room, as
she asked the question. Her hostess
pursed up her mouth mysteriously and
whispered, “Oh, no!” looking straight
at Miss Egerton.
"Ah!” The half suppressed excla
mation of the curious Vinnie was met
with a solemn shake of the head by
Aunt Helen, and, together, they went
down the steps.
It was on the occasion of the first
Decoration day, and all Clear Brook
was out patriotically in honor of the
brave departed. Bufc Miss Genie, the
shy little southern girl, who lived with
the Burnhams, shrank from taking part
in the exercises.
Miss Buffiington had come north at
the close of the war to make her home
with Aunt Helen; and no one knew
better than she why the dark-eyed
niece did not Join the flower-laden
ranks in memory of the nation's dead.
Then, this northern auntie knew of
something else; a strange-Iooking
mound—thut is, strange for a garden—
hidden away in the farthest dorner be
hind the big syringa.
Yet it was there, fashioned by Miss
Genie's own hands, a memorial to the
brave but mistaken lover who fell at
Allatoonn.
Although he had turned in misled
duty from the stars and stripes to the
palmetto, he had been royally loyal to
her to the last; for had he not
staunched his wounds with his coat of
gray and kissed her picture as he faint
ly said; “Goodby, little sweetheart; It
Is all over with me now!"
And no one ever gave it a thought,
either, why the girl was so partial to
gray gowns trimmed with blue, and
blue gowns trimmed with gray; tha.t is.
no one but Aunt Helen. She had fig
ured It out after the unerring arith
metic of a woman’s heart, and under
stood.
"Antony was wrong.” Miss Genie was
wont to say. "but he was true as
the heavens to what he deemed duty,
and to me.” She always looked so
pained when she said this, that one
could almost see the shadow of car
nage on her face.
But she had put away the “mistake,"
and, in honor of a once more united
brotherhood under the old flag and th"
memory of handsome Antony Packard,
she habitually wore blues and grays.
”1 heard what she said,” mused the
neat figure in the middle of the sunny
morning room; and two misty eyes
looked wistfully' after the disappearing
ladles. “Oh, yes; I heard, but auntie
will keep my secret, I know.”
A thankful confidence lighted up her
countenance as she turned away to
finish the dusting, for Miss Genie was
a real Ebenezer in the Burnham home.
By and by she put on a broad
brimmed hat, something after the style
of sweet southern days and pleasant
plantation custom, before there was a
confederacy, and went out alone in the
soft May weather.
The spring had been tardy and the
old-fashioned roses were still in great,
sleepy buds, the last few kindly days
of warmer airs not having been suffi
cient for their unfolding.
But the plumy lilacs, white as milk,
and purple as royal attire, were still in
bloom; besides, there were oceans of
pansies and violets.
“The lilacs are like—conquering
plumes,” she said dreamily, holding her
flushed cheek close to their wealth of
fragrance, “and the pansies have such
innocent earnest faces"—looking down
lovingly at them—"but the ail but open
roses here are most suitable," and she
kissed the dawning beauty of Sharon
and the “great double white.”
Gathering a basket to the overflowing
of the “all-but-open" treasures and a
sprinkling of pansies and taking a wide
shallow dish and some water. Miss
Genie timed her feet to an old south
ern melody of childhood days—his and
hers—and marched slowly down the
garden path.
as she passed, and the bees droned In
lower monotone as the lonely proces
sion of one made Its way to the corner
shielded by the friendly syrtnga.
“Of course, he Isn't here,” she said
In tremulous tones, as she knelt to ar
range the offering, “but he Isn’t there
either,’’ thinking of the cemetery where
now the peole were assembling, “so my
flowers are as appropriate in this place
as—anywhere.”
Pressing the dish into the earth, she
filled it with water, and then arranged
the bursting buds, so that they all
might “lok heavenward,” bordering
them with the other blossoms.
"Pansies," site tnurmered softly,
touching their surprised faces, “I leave
you, dainty little soldiers, on picket
duty. Keep off the enemy: these un
blown roses, nty sober little friends,
are types of—of his life and—mine;
full of beautiful possibilities, but
broken off before the realization.”
Then, bowing her head, she breathed
a prayer that even the pansies did not
hear.
The afternoon shadows were length
ening on the lawn and Miss Buffing
ton sat on the steps, humming ''Ameri
ca," and mending wee Bobble’s flag.
"The stwipes got ta.red from the stars,
didn’t a’?” questioned the miniature
soldier, leaning comfortably on his
sedate cousin’s knee.
"Yes, Bobble, the dear old flag has
seen lots of trouble,” and her lips shut
tightly over a sigh, as she fastened the
last stitch uniting the "stwipes" to the
stars again.
”An' lots o’ wars an’ things?”
"Yes, dear.”
“An’ Decoration day corned ’en?" per
sisted Miss Genie's young relative,
waving the mended flag thoughtfully.
"Yes, Bobble.”
"An' folks put posies on sojers' graves
•cause thy’re solly?”
"Yes, I think that Is one reason.” she
answered, looking away over Bobbie’s
head and seeing Aunt H'dlen coming
through the shrubbery alone.
"Are you solly, too, CoUsln Deena?" ,
and the blue eyes were lifted curiously.
"Your mamma is coming, dear,” she
replied evasively; and away went
Bobble to meet his mother and pour
a grist of questions into the maternal
■ear.
"Who did she march with? Did Miss
Eddyton dlt lost ? Who carried the flag;
and .who drummed the big drum? And,
could he go next time if he glowed a
‘whole Jot?"
But (the maternal ear seemed seized
with sudden deafness, for Mrs. Burn
ham marched light through the swarm
of lnterjOTgatlves and almost over the
Interrogator and, coming slowly up the
steps, sankMnto a rocker, dusty, weary
and warm.' Unloosing hex* bonnet
strings, and fanning herself ^*Ith a
magazine for' ..several minutes, Aunt
Helen Anally said: "I came arouiixf.by
the postofflce ana was lucky enough U>
get the mall before they shut up. Here’#
you Atlanta paper and the usual letter
ttOBi Cousin Mab/’ and she t0S3ed Miss
Genie's mall Into her lap; then she
went out to the well to get a “rest up"
drink.
When she came back with a pitcher
of water her niece thrust the open let
ter Into her hand without a word and,
turning away quickly, went Into the
parlor, locking the door after her.
"Well, I never!” exclaimed Aunt
Helen; “cousins dead, or some dread
ful thing has happened. I’m sure.”
After rummaging the clock ahelf and
work basket for her “near glasses,"
Mrs. Burnham finally found thorn on
the table, “In plain sight.”
•'Of course she wanted me to read it,'
she said, settling herself In the rocker
once more and unfolding the paper.
And this letter—not Mab’*—met her as
tonished vision;
"Eugenia, dearest: When I was car
ried off the battlefield I was supposed
to be dying; but, after months of hob
nobbing with death. I recovered.
"I have searched for you, Genie, until
I knew not which way to turn next.
Today I met vour cousin In Marietta
and she gave me your address.
"Is the old love warm and true, denr
est? If so. come to me to the deserted
homestead and, together, we will build
It up anew. You were so right In the
matter of the war, Genie; I bless the
dear old flag which waves over me to
day!
"Believing you will come, I enelope
a draft for your expenses, and will be
watching for you. Your own Antony,
still."
Mrs. Burnham read the letter
through, drawing- her breath In sharply
at the close. "Can It be possible!” She
exclaimed, half aloud; then ah# went
to the parlor door and listened.
But, hearing nothing, she said to her
self: "Fudge! she has sense enough to
be glad alone, and I shan't disturb her.
I will go and tel! Homer.”
Ten minutes later Mrs. Burnham was
reading the wonderful letter to her
husband out among the all-but-open
roses, where he had gone to prune off
needless scions. And, together, they
rejoiced for their niece. At tea time
Miss Genie appeared looking "like Bhe
had taken the sacrament,” Uncle Ho
mer thought. A beautiful serenity
shone on her face ae she Bald to Aunt
Helen across the table:
“I shall start south In the morning,
auntie.’’
Uncle Burnham got up and, putting
his hand on the head of his niece, said,
feelingly: “The Lord reward* the
faithful, Eugenia. Tuke my blessing to
your sunny southern home.”
Then he went out under the' wistaria,
lest they shoula see that a man like
him "cried like a baby.”
The next morning, before she bade
Clear Brook goodby, Miss Bulhlngton
tripped lightly down the garden path
to the corner hidden by the syrlnga
tree.
And behold! the all-but-open roses
were fully and beautifully blown; so
much so, that the bright little faces on
guard duty could scarcely catch a
glimpse of the shining face above them.
THE GETTYSBURG EAGLE
This fine specimen of the American
eagle was shot and killed on n part of
the famous battlefield of Gettsburg on
February 22, 18S7, hence the Inscription
that is tied to his feet: "I Also Was
Shot at Gettysburg.” The eagle, or
rather his stuffed figure, occupies a po
sition of prominence In the picture
framing store of C. V. Ashdown, on On
tario street, Cleveland. Mr. Ashdown
has owned the eagle for the last ten
years and has refused offers of large
sums of money for it. Tho eagle meas
ures seven feet from tip to tip of the
wings. The bronze figures of eagles
on the Soldiers’ and Sailors' monument
on the public square were modeled
from It. During the national encamp
ment of the Grand Army at Cleveland
the eagle was exhibited In n show win
dow, where it was continually sur
rounded by ever-changing groups of
admiring veterans.
Union Will Live Forever.
With each annual recurrence of Me
morial day It appeals more and molt
to all the people. Each year there are
more who personally knew nothing of
the bitterness of the war and who are,
therefore, better able to appreciate the
splendid courage of the men who took
part In It on both Bids. Of the great
armies of men who volunteered 111 de
fense of the flag only a few survivors
are left. In the columns which march
to the cemeteries this year to decorate
the graves of the soldiers will be a
smaller number of those who wore the
blue than ever before. But the num
ber of those who “swell the chorus of
the union" Is increasingly larger. And
today more truly than ever before the
flag of the union flouts over a reunited
country.

In Society.
A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
nml balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down ns a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of I’eruna at such a time, if
they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN
Is our name for the patent Separating |
Grate and Check Plate in the famous j
RED RIVER SPECIAL THRESHER.
It has the BIS Cylinder, with lots of
concave and open grate service.
It has the Man Behind the Gun, that
does most of the separating right at
the cylinder.
Besides these, it has all the separat
ing capacity of other machines.
The average old-style small cylinder
thresher wastes enough grain and
time to pay your thresh bill.
Why not save the grain ordinarily
put into the straw stack? Why not ■
save the time which the ordinary
threshing outfit wastes for you.
This can be done by employing the
RED RIVER SPECIAL.
It runs right along, saving your
grain and saving time, regardless of
conditions.
As the modern self-binder is ahead
of the old reaper of forty years ago. so
is the Big Cylinder and Man Behind
tile Gun ahead of the small cylinder
old-style thresher.
The old-jstyle thresher with its small
cylinder and limited separatingcapao
ity, has stood for years without nrada
improvement.
The RED RIVER SPECIAL is the
crowning improvement in threshing;
machinery.
It Is built for modern, up-to-date i
work; to thresh well: to thresh fast;
to save time and grain and money for
the thresherman and farmer. It doen
