and told me of the deeds of I'nele
George. 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

were tumbled off into the arms if

"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

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,

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

and keep the milk down cellar. I was
