I ii J ,y . Trie Fipr EKIND A.MEM W Wk!$mL G&.w&rv .?.--r HAL DiSfTORY by CJ a i re whl lace. tjlynn f vrNH Cs HK rat-atat of tho drums nnd the dauntless voice of tho flfo began to nwnlten tho quiet Btreets early in tho morning. Adam Hoth, brought to his window by tho In Blatent call of tho flfoB, raised his oyeB to tho cloudless bluo fr&i jrfiSst) nnd ,hen lot thora Ti""' shift hnrk nnnnallv to hlB shabby room. Ab tho sounds died awny, Adam went and stood beside the bed. On it was laid tho full uniform of a Zouavo, discolored with tho smoke of many battles, ragged and worn with tho Btresa of weary marches. Near ono houlder a faded stain spoke of a wound received nt Alexandria. Adam looked long on this uniform, and then, brushing away a mist before his eyes, ho whispered tho name "Dan!" Dan, tho brnve brother who had first donned them in 'CI, who had with unabated lovo and energy and pride worn them on every Memorial day since tho first, had gono to tho great "assembly," nnd only Adam was left. And Adnm! Thero wbb no part for him in all these half pleasant, half wus dead! Tho whole post had heard of It nearly n year ago. Who, then, was this silent, mysterious figure, springing suddenly from the crowd and Joining them? "Who arc you?" asked the man. Adam wavered a moment beforo he answered. Tho simple query blotted out his cherished dream; porhaps It would make tho continuance of his inarch Impossible. Hut Anally ho turned nnd answered: "Dan Roth's brother." Suddenly he felt the silent encour ngement of n handshake. The vet eran meant to bo hlB friend. Then tho command of "Forward march!" came to them, nnd thoy wcro off once more, this time flnshlng warm, triumph ant, Into Riverside drive. Tho long march was over. Besldo him stood tho color-bearer, holding aloft the tnttered glory of tho regiment. Tho wordB of tho orator floated on the quivering air, and tho ennnon boomed from tho gunboat In tho river; but all sounds now seemed to como to Adnm from n great dis tance. Ho waB aflame with tho spirit of devotion; the darkened lamp of patriotism had been lighted nnow In him, and In the whole world thero was nothing else. Presently Adam's kindling eyes fell upon a man among tho crowd of spec tators, a man whoso haggard face and WtffkkJr'' & i- '- h- "There Goes One of Those Grizzly Flghten, Boys." sad, reunions, theso enthusiastic pa rades through tho great city, those glorious awakenings of memories of deeds well done In tho past That was what ato into his soul and blottod out the light In his face Ho had been a coward coward! In those days, whon tho uniform beforo him had been a bright red, and tho gun, leaning against tho foot of tho bed, had sparkled and shone, he had failed to answer tho bugle call of his country. Tho soundc In the street below grow louder, nnd tho sun streamed Into tho room, sending a sudden riot to Adam's heart. Tho veins in hln temples throbbed llko ceaseless threshing ma chines, separating nil tho chaff of his long life of failure and cowardice from thlB Btrnngo, burning prayer that sprang up within him, that ho might once, only once, go forth in tho uni form of tho country ho loved, to march behind tho flag ho had failed to pro tect, to be nn American soldlor! He found himself taking off his coat with Blinking hands, and, almost be foro ho realized It, ho was hurrying into tho uniform. Ho dusted tho moth eaten fez and put it on his head. Tho worn tassel fell over his car, and ho tossed It back with a now, freo fling of his head. Tho mnntlo of Dan eemed truly to havo fallen upon him, bringing with it tho spirit of '61. A mnn leading two llttlo boys by tho hand pointed him out to tho children. "There goes ono of thoBO grizzly old fighters, boys. I tell you, they did great work!" Tho words reached Adam and sent n gleam to his oyos. With ono great throb of hlo heart Adam stepped Into tho street and ewung into lino. Tho man next to him glanced in his direction, and his fnco whitened. Dan nothl Surely old Dan Roth twitching body marked him apart. Rage, wild, unreasoning rage at fate, oried out from nil his features. With somo fascination Adam noticed that his oyes were fastened upon the flag, or all that was left of it. But what a gaze. His glance was a menace, hia look burnt with' the hntrcd of on whoso hand is forever set against the Insignia of law and royalty. The ceromonles wore drawing to a close. A bugler stepped forward nnd played the first bar of the "Star Span gled Banner." From his higher place Adam saw tho man whom ho had been watching push his way to tho edge of tho crowd, directly facing tho flag. The peoplo wero singing now. The man's arm shot out. Something gleamed in tho sunshine, something sang in tho air above the words "in trimuph shall wave," and on old Zouavo Btumbled nnd fell forwnrd upon tho white stones. Tho commander of tho post stooped over tho fallen man nnd lifted his head. Tho mnn was n strangor to him. Ho looked nt n Zouave standing near, silently questioning him. "He pushed In front of Peterson, sir, Just as that scoundrel fired. He tried to grasp tho Hag, sir. I guess ho saw what tho follow aimed nt." "Who la ho?" asked thoofflcor. "And what is ho doing here? Ho Is not ono of my men." "Ho was Dan rioth's brother. We hnvo nil heard of him ho was the boy that wouldn't Join In '61. But to day ho ho " Tho old man knelt down besldo Adam. Just below tho dim stain on tho shoul Ucr of Dan's Jacket, tho stnln which marked that day at Alexandria, there was a new, fresh ono. Tho heart that lay beneath It was at pence. (Copyright, 1S09, by J. li. I.lpplncott Co.) HE IS A "BLUE SKY" OFFICER Admiral William May, Commander of Britain's Main Fleet, Never Saw a Battle.
