"I don't either , " said Bobby as resolutely ,
" 011 Jim was a soldier just as much as

Isn't he , even it he does get old and die at

"Courso ho Is ! " chimed in Bcrt , stopping
n moment in his wood piling , "Iio went to
the war , one of the very flrat ones , and
stayed way through. I heard pa say sot'
"And ho's burled over in the old south
lot ? " demanded Elllo , "and don't over anyone -
ono take any notice of him , or decorate his
grave , or anything ? "
Bart shook his head ,
"Well , I don't think it's fair , anyway , "
she repealed again ,
"Well , what ara you going to do about
It ? " asked Hart , piling up two sticks withr
a thud ,
"He's the only soldier here in town and
folks didn't think rnuclr of him anyway.
ho hadn't lived hero for a long time 'tore ho
died , and they just brought him back and
burled him , that's all. h'olks didn't take
much notice and didn't nobody care , "
"You couldn't expect folks to get up a
procession and Decoration day services just
on his account , could you ? "
"Somebody'd ought to , " returned Ellie ,
reflectively ,
"That doesn't count ! " said fort , catching -
ing up the axe anti splitting scone obstinate
sticks , " '
"Falka-don't-do-what-they-
"No , you couldn't ; It's five miles thero. "
Eillo'e face fell.
"That's just the way ! " laughed Ilert ,
throwing down the last sticks ,
"You want to be In things just the same's
everybody else does. You're blaming 'em
for not decorating old Jim's grave , and now
'you want to go yourself just the same's the
others , '
Elllo was silent for a moment.
"I guess wo'd better decorate that grave
ourselves , " she said slowly ,
Bobby stared.
"And have a procession and everything , "
contlnned Ellio gravely ,
"I don't suppose it makes much difference

"You haven't got any flag , " suggested

"That's sd , " aasented Bobby , "and flags

"Do you have to have 'em2"

" 1Vell , why don't they ? " asked Ellie , exasperated -

The axe was at work ,
"Yea , they do , " Itoh spoke up after a' '

IIo began to outline the stars.
. . . . . .
A solitary rider on horseback rode down
the grassy street.
Ile glanced sharply to the right , then
dismounting , let down some bars and turned
into llmo faint path which led across the
fields to the Ilttle unused cemetery ,
Ile threw the reins over his horse's head
and let him graze at will. Then he ivan-
dered on into the little plot.
He had scarce reached the spot when , approaching -
preaching from another direction , came a
little procession of five children , laden with
flowers.
A hey led the way , beating now and then
on a battered drum ,
The man slipped behind a tree.
The little procession passed through the
broken gate and marching solemnly onward
P auscd beslde a neglected grave ,
"t'0 must plant the nag now , Ellie , " said
the largest boy.
She handed it to him.
The man leaned forward , The flag was a
curious affair. I
The bright red woolen stripes puckering
and alternating with the white cotton ones ,
limo field of blue calico , with Its thirteen
stars ,
Tim boy took it gravely and stuck it ,
firmly into the soft ground at the head
of the grave ,
"We must sing , " Bert announced ,
Five young voices in five differentt keys
struggled bravely through "Marching
Through Georgln.
The man drew nearer ,
"Now we must pray , " said Ellie , glancing
down at the paper In her hands. The five
children knelt about the grave. The boys
removed their caps ,
"Our Father , " began Ellie In a tremulous
voice. The others joined her , "Now I lay
tee , " began Jelty , when they had finished.
The rest listened hr silence , but joined in
"Amnon.
Tim eyes of the looker-on filled with tears ,
"Now we must put on the Iowers. "
Quickly but tenderly the straggling grass-
grown grave seas covered with flowers.
They were of all colors.
Aosv I'll read you the Declaration of In.
dependence , " said Bert , and slowly the
tuuniliar words fell front his boyish lips ,
Petty could not understand It. Her roving
eye caught sight of the man , who was close
beside them now , She gave n little jump ,
" 1 will tell you the story of Comrade Jim ,
here , he began abruptly , but with a pleasant -
ant smile , Ito stood at lho head of the
grave , bareheaded , with the sun shining on
his gray hair ,
They drew about him. Then he told them
of Jim's courage In war and what the war
was about and how it should teach thorn
to be true and brave , nail the children
listened wjlli scarce a breath for fear of
losing a single word ,
"And I had come hero today to do honor
to my tallen comrade , " ho carded , "But I
find that you have done it already-more
titan I could do , " Iie glanced at the rough
flag. There were tears in his eyes.
The silk one in his lined fell to the ground.
Bobby picked it UP and would have planted
it on the grave.
"No , " said the man ; "keep it Yours
alone shall do honor today , "
And after a few more words the little
procession marched away , while the gonMral
-for it was he , the great speaker , stolen
away from his admiring attendants-stood
watching them , with head uncovered , until
they had vanished from sight
Thom with a farewell glance at the flower-
strewn grave with Its homely flag fluttering
In the soft May breeze ho rode rapidly
away ,

"And it was yen children ? Elite's mother
said next day ,
'Tho General told us all about it in his
speech last night and he said that we must
emulate your example , "
She looked very proud and happy as she
kissed the children.
"We'll do it every year , " said Bert , looking -
ing at the silk nag hanging on the wall.
"Of course we will , " said the others ,

Ll iiung Chang , or the European , as this ,
broad-minded Chinaman is called , has for
some time been showing n keen interest in
Christianity nail the 'study of the bible.
Apart from the innntedesiro that Li hung
Chang has to possess , all knowledge , this is
probably owing to the skillful efforts of Oil-
bert Reed , who perhaps more than any other
missionary , has used the most successful
diplomacy in securing a hearing with
heathens of high degree ,
Gilbert Reed was first sent to China by a
Presbyterian hoard of missions. When
there ho recalled the well known motto of
limo Romans : When in home , do , ps the
Romans do ; and became in tact a thorough
Chinaman , lie rented a house in the circle
that is occupied by the high mandarins about
the court and furnished it in true Chinese
style , IIo adopted their dress and customs
and grew a very respectable queue. Curiosity -
ity was soon aroused about him and the desire -
sire was bred to know more about this estimable -
mable man , In the adoption of their cero'
monious pal iteness he particularly delighted
them and became a favorite guest at state
fetes and banquets. Ifo dltl not force his
opinions upon them , but stated them clearly
when they were sought after , Excepting
the emperor , ho was received by every high
Chinaman about the court. For ho argues
that it Is to this class Christianity must first
be preached in China ,
In this way he became acquainted with
Li Hung Chang , who delighted to ask him
innumerable questions , the first request always -
ways being to know his ago , that of his
fattier and mother , and nay other celebrated
members of the family : for this is a Cldneso
form of acquaintance , Shortly , Li higng
Chang became so interested In the handful
of men , as ho expressed It , that sought to
change the well-founded opinion of millions
that ho begged Gilbert Reed tb instruct him
more fully in the history of thin Christinna.
It was at this time that Gilbert Reed pro'
sentcd hint with the bible , Since then Li
llung Chang has studied the book closely.
His attendants are ordered when arranging
his apartments to put away all else but
that book , which is placed on a table by
his bedside , lIe also contributed $ :0,000
to help carry an the work that Gilbert Iteod
has started in China. As is well known ,
he is considered one of the wealthiest men
in the world ,
When the news reached Gilbert Reed of
his father's death in America , lie had his
house lung with all the Chinese emblems
of mourning. IIe phncnrded that his father ,
a most celebrated and worthy American , had
passed away and that he must return to
assist his country in its lamentation for lta
ancestor. In fact , ho followed in detail
the customs of China on these occasions.
He remained in this country long enough
to settle up his affairs and to marry a very
charming woman. He has now taken her
back to China with him , where they will
make their permanent home and continue
the great work that he is doing ,
