flowers. They bothered tho man. beard, his
He was old; gray were his
eyes, his hair. But his figure was ma
jestic. His black slouch hat dr:>oped,
uncreased, low crowned and round
brimmed over his face. Only his mouth
and chin were visible, and they were
very 6ad and stern, despite the softening
effect of the beard. This much the
woman saw, and something in them
made her long to see tho rest of the face.
But he continued to look upon the
ground. He was one of the Confederate
veterans, who were standing in some¬
what broken file around a monument to
which they were then doing honor. He
had taken his sword from its scabbard
and stuck the point of it in the ground,
making an unsteady staff upon which to
rest lii3 folded hands. The old blade
was rusty; the damp e.T h would not
hurt it; its days of usefulness, like its
master’s, were over. the
It was midafternoon and ceremo¬

crowded to suffocation. The wind had
risen, and the woman could not help
her skirts blowing across his knees.
“Clash!” went the presentation of
arms.
Boom! boom! boom! roared the salute
of three guns, and volleys of gray smoke
rolled off on a blue sky. Then there
were priestly tones praying: “Heavenly
father__comrades— honor — memory of
brothers who sleep—flowers and prayers
_messengers of love to thy mercy seat—
Christ Jesus, Amen.”
These wore the drifts of the prayer as

were filled in with the ronlades of mock

outskirts of the crowd, and the champ

curved with the rim of a huge tstone jar
