Up tho narrow val leys tho ferns are rank, nnd on the klllHides bellow ered vines cIIiil; ff lT to tho rugKed trees. Tho grnvo Is under ft willow that Hlmdcs un open Hnaco. It is tho only willow in tho neighborhood. Once every year slneo tho war a mun and u woman ktivo como from tho north to dec orato this lono gruvo. At llrat the woman, brij;ht eyed nudspriiiKy of step, was oxcct'diiiKly handsome, but latterly timo had censed to bo playful with her. Tho man was sturdy nnd of Hober mien, i Ho looked ns if his lifo had nlwuys ' held n oecrot suffering. This man and i this woman havo rather uniiiuo his-1 tory. j At tho timo of tlio breaking out of tho j war John ami Henry Archer, brothers i bo nearly nliko that they wero often I taken for twins, Uvwl in Lako county, Ills, John was engaged to iniiiTy Tress Pryor, and tho day for tho wedding was , appointed, but before tho timo camo n drum beat, nnd sturdy young follows ( mustered on tho grass. I It was evening, and Tress Pryor win i standing on thovurauda. John rodu up, i sprang oil his horso and with n now no- cent in his manner a peculiar bearing ciuno up tho walk. "Tres-s," ho Mild, "did you reo tho mou mnrching?" "Yes." "Do you know what It means?" "They say it meaiiB wnr," sho nn swered. , "It menus nioro than that, Tress. It means that you nro to marry a hero." "I don't know that 1 understand you." Ho laughed. "Aro you so dull, little sweothenrt? It means that I am going i to tho wnr." "It menus nothing of tho sort," somn ono oxcluimcd, nnd John, wheeling nbout, wiw his brother Henry stnuding nenr. "Whnt'8 tho tro'iblo with you, Henry?' I "There's no trouble with mo. I am j simply benslblo, and you, must not Iw foolish." Ho iwlnted to tho girl. "Vhere' is your present duty. I am going to tho war. x on aro going to stay hero, nml after awhile if wo need you I will send i for you," 'Well, now, this is n pretty como off," John declared. "You would make a I horoof yourself and a drudge of me. Yob aro not engaged to bo married nnd Wife (...Mv ItJl 4 ik '.TWIlW - la n.ro (hereforo n patriot.

"It means that you must do what you consider your duty." " Yott nro a bravo girl, Tivhs." "If not, I nhouldn't bo worthy of you, John." "That sounds very well," said Henry, "but without common sense bravery in but an aimless plcco of foolishness. Ono Holdler from our small family, I hould think, is enough to provo our loy alty to tho government." "Henry, you needn't sny a word. I'm going to tho wnr." Tho next day John nnd Henry were mustered into tlio service, and it wii not long before they wero under lire. I Ono day in a skirmish not far from I'nyettovllle, Ark., John was shot while ttmnliiig under n willow tree. Ho was lo severely wounded that it wns thought ho could live but a few hours, but when tho next morning lnul como ho showed tlgus of Improvement. Ho wits taken to tho hospltnl, utid his brother Henry wan tletnileil to attend hliii until nn advance mould bo ordeied, Ono da ' there enmo to the hospital n young woman from Kentucky. Sho had been regarded m n bello in tho blue grasH couutty, hut , she gavo up society nnd went south to , uurso wounded sohliets. This young woman took special Interest in John I Archer. She timilo n lomnnco of hot I duty, nnd ut times when tho wounded mnn seemed brighter than usunl she would sit near his cot and rend poetry j to him, Hut upon this Henry began to look with disnpprovnl, nnd ouco when tho girl had gone to fetch another book ho said to his brother: "1 ilon't think thnt'H right, John." "Don't think what's right?" "Why, having that girl rend lovo verses to you." ! "Shu's reading to herself as much as sho is to me." "I don't know nbout tlint, John." "I do." "Well, but 1 don't think it's right, nnd I know Tress wouldn't approve it." "Then why doesn't sho como nnd read to me?" "Sho doesn't know that you are wounded. I haven't had tho heart to tell her." "Hush; hero comes Miss Hush." Henry withdrew, but soino ono spoke to him, and hohnlted within hearing (lis tnnco of his brother's cot. "I didn't suppose you wero so fond ol jioetry." said Miss Hush, speaking to John. "I wasn't until I heard you read it." "Oh, that's a compliment surely; but, tell tue, sinco you acknowledge that I havo pointed out tho beauty of" She hesitated. "Tell you whnt?" "Oh, nothing." "Hut whnt wero you going to sny?" "Something hardly proper, I fear." "Tell me," ho pleaded. "Oh, I don't suppose that it nmounts to anything. I wns simply going to ask if there had mi been u timo when some girl stirred a jiootio emotion in your heart." A few moments elapsed before ho re plied, "I worked so hard when I wa at homo that 1 had but little timo for"- "For lovo?" she asked. Ho nervously fumbled with tho cover, of tho bed, and gently sho arranged the pillow for him. "Near our place," said ho, "there is u girl that I'vo known a long timo. 1'vo known her about all her lifo, I guess." "What nbout her?" "Well, I told her that sho should marry a hero. You see, I thought I'd go homo covered with glory." "Oh, you nro engaged to her." "Yes, in a way." "In a way! Why, what a fnnny sort of an engagement that must be I Shall I rend now?" "If you plenso." After returning homo it wns some timo before Henry hud tho courngo tc call on Tress Pryor. Hut ono evening I ho went to see her. As ho entered the 1 gnto ho saw iter stnuding on tho spot 1 where bIio had stood when John chiiih dashing up to tell Iter that ho was going to tho war. Sho reached out and took his hands, and for a time neither of them spoke. i "Tress, he died for his country." TOOK SI'rX'lAL INTKIIKST IN JOIIN AUCHKR. "And for me," sho snid. "Y-o-s, Ho lay a long time in tho hos pital, and wo thought ho was going to get well, but n sudden chnngo came, and ho died. Ho begged to bo buried under tho treo where ho fell, nnd wo buried him there." "But did ho send no word to mo?" "Oh, ys, ho talked about you a great deal. II.) wns bravo, nnd if ho had come bnck you would havo married n hero.' And it wns Henry Archer nnd Tress Pryor who went every year to decorato tho gravo under tho willow. They bo enmo well known in tho neighborhood, i ml school children used to climb high 'up tho mountain side nnd get strange 1 owera for them. Henry moved to the MM -(k iiCIZMrl ; m ..

Ono time when ho came sho snid to him: "It doesn't look right to drag you way from your business avery year. My time, you know, doesn't uiuouut to anything." "Mine doesn't amount to so very much," ho answered; "and besides it isa great pleasure to go there." "Yes, it is. Hut tell mo, Henry, why Is it you havo never married?" "Oh, I don't know. Hecauso titer havo been so ninny divorces, I suppose.'" "That's a iiueer reason. Hut it isn't tho reason, and you know it," she nddeu, looking him full in tho eye. r - j. fS? ? in: had bKizr.D nun hands. "Well," ho replied, avoiding her gaze, "if that isn't tho reason I don't know whnt It is. Perhaps 1 had n cuuso n good whilo ngo." "And you havo forgotten whnt it was," sho said, laughing, but in her laugh there wns more of sadness than of mirth. After a timo sho usked, "Do you thiuk a man's lovo Is ns constant as u womnn's?" "Not always, but sometimes," ho an swered. "Dut do you believo that a man or a woman can lovo twico with equal devo tion?" "I don't know how it may bo with others," ho answered, "but I could never lovo but once." "Oh, you havo been in lovo, then, hnve you?" "Tomorrow wo start for tho gravo," ho said. "Yes, but you havo not answered my question." "I will unswer it ut tho grnvo." It wns tho JlOth of last May. Henry nnd Tress sat under tho willow. An other generation of school children hud brought violets from wild places and had gathered blossoms on the mountain side. The grnvo wus ablaze with red rocs, whito dogwood blossoms nnd bluebells. Tho sun wns low. Tho cows, ringing their bells, wero going homo. Henry told n story which so often ho hud re Inted: "Tho skirmish wns sharp, almost a battle, nnd there wns danger everywhere, but John was too bravo to stand behind tho tree. I was not fur away, nnd tho bullets were buzzing thicker thnn bum blebees in our meadow, but somehow I I was not afraid of being hit iny mind I was centered on John. Whnt difference could It havo made if I had been shot?" i "Don't tnlk that way," sho inter rupted. "But why should I havo cured for my self? There was no ono at homo wnitiiig for mo to como bnck a hero." Ho paused i for a fow moments, "An increase in the , firing to tho left caused mo to turn in that direction, nnd when 1 looked back John wns down." "Y'ou huvo never pointed out tho pluce where tho hospital stood," sho said. Ho wus silent for a timo. "I ilon't liko to think of tho hospital." "Why?" sho nsked. "Oh, on uecount of a woman!"

How could sho bo my nemy?" "Sho loved John." "Oh, nnd is thut nil?" "All." ho repented. "Isn't thnt nough?" "To huvo iniido her my enemy? No." "But but it's got to como now. John loved her." "How do you know?" Sho wus so quiet that ho wus surprised at her. "I might us well tell you nil now. Here." Ho took from his pocket un old nnd faded letter. "Ho told mo to give you this, but I hadn't tho heart. Head it." Tho letter wns brief. It wns tho breuk Ing of un engagement. Sho rend tho let ter nnd quietly handed it buck to him. Ho gazed ut her in astonishment. "Tress," ho cried, "on his deathbed ho mnrried thut womnn." Sho did not answer. "I sny ho mnrried her." "Well?" "Is it possible? Tress, I ought to havo told you ought to havo given you tho letter but I thought you worshiped him. And why huvo you decorated his Uruvo nil these yeurs?" "Becuuso ho wus your brother." "Whnt! I I ilon't" "Henry, oh. how stupid you hnvo boon, you" Sho did not completo tho sentence lie hnd seized her hnnds. "Merciful heaven, girl, I huvo always loved you!" "And, precious, I never loved John, be cuuso I loved you, but I was afruid you would despiso ino if I wero not truo to his memory. Y'ou engaged mo to him. I don't know how, but you did." Tlio sun wns down, and tho musio of tho cowbells wns fur away. Ohk Read. Tired of It.
