How he had fought In that niM.s war of all wars, the civil war. now brave he had been. How heroically he faced prison life. I low his com rades had loved that tall, broad shouldered man with his snapping black eyes and the great shock of heavy black hair. When the war closed, I'nele Ueorge came back to his little hweet-heart, riding on a splendid black charger. (Urandina says It was only a horsu but I know that all heroes ride chargers). He had on a dark blue uniform with gold braid and brilliant epaulets, and a soft felt hat pulled down over his curly black locks. Who could resist such a hero'.' Aunt Nancy couldn't, and in a short time he had carried her away to the far west. My rctlectious came to an end as the train ctiuie to a stop with a jerk. We were tumbled off into the arms if Uncle lieorge who yelled to the con ductor In his great rolling voice, "Thank you; thank you," and than turning to grandma he said: "Well, well, Mary .lane, it seems good to sec vou again. You get right into this carriage with Alf and the kid and I'll walk up to the buggy. My horse Is a little spirited and doesn't take kindly to trains." 1 walked along by the side of the tall, stoop-shouldered man and won dercdvagucly If the "spirited horse"' might be a second "noble charger." Hut I was disappointed, the horse was a horse and no charger. Hut as I'ucle (ieorgiv.sald, It had many Hue points, you could hang your hat on any of them. In a few moments we were jogging along a hot and dusty road and I'ucle (ieorgo was explaining. "We just got your letter; so we hitched up immedi ately and came In our every day clothes." I noticed then that he was indeed In blue; but it was faded blue overalls with bright blue patches on the knees. What do you think of your I'nele (icorgc, Kiddie." and the great kind eyes peered Into mine. 'Well,'" I answered truthfully, "your hair is gray and grandma told me it was black when you married Aunt Nancy, and 1 guess thnt I expected It would always be black." He laughed I jumped. It was so unexpected, so loud and yet so musical. "Hlcss your lie-irt darling, I haven't had black hair for years. I'll tell you what though. Two years ago 1 took the notion while in town to have my hair and mustache dyed black." Again that laugh. "When I came home, Hazel and Roy they .-.re my grand children, you know didn't recognize me. Your Aunt Nancy was so angry that she refused to get dinner for me. Mho was sorry though afterwards. ' That seemed to tickle him. He tho't over It for some time with a little amused twinkle in his eye. "You see," he said gently, "1 went down cellar We only have one cow now and keep the milk down cellar. I was very thirsty and drank over a quart. Hut it turned out It wasn't milk; it wits cream that Nancy had been sav ing for a party that night."
