ANNONS were booming down m ' the vjalley and at intervals & i there was the sharp rattle of musketry. Bodies of soldiers, some iu blue and some In gray, were, seen In places along the valleys and broken ground. But they were ail fur from the little rain-washed crevice on the side of the mountain where an old negro stood scanning the distant scene as well as his half-blind eyes would permit. After looking he would return to the farthest end of the crevice. “Is tin filin’ all over yit, so’s we kin go ’long, LonzoV” "I reckon lilt ’ll never git done,” said the old man, nodding his head to the frightened woman, who crouched down Into the smallest possible space. It was no wonder site was afraid, for the war had swept away the lust member of her old master’s family. And nothing remained of the fine plan tation and home hut blackened chim neys, for the tide of war had swept hack and forth over It until all was gone. Alonzo went to the edge of tho little rift In the monntalnslde and looked down the valley, hut his bleared eyes were filled with tears he dared not shed, and his broad chest heaved with the sobs he held In check. Finally he cleared his throat with a mighty ef fort and said: “I reckon we might git ober the ridge fo’ daiik, but we got ter creep mighty close to de gully tell we reach de tlmbah. Mebbe we fin’ a fahmeh w’at’ll give us a bite an’ let us sleep in hees ba’n. Come." With many groans the woman rose to her feet, tottering with weakness, for since the sweeping away of her master’s family, the destruction of the plantation, and the death of their chil dren these two had suffered terribly from privation. For the last three days they had lived entirely upon wild fruit. But they struggled onward toward Washington, whyre in their simple hearts they believed the good, the tender, the human Lincoln would make them welcome. They hud their Sunday garments in little bundles, and in her bosom care fully wrapped from injury or contami nation was an orange eyprln. Its rich colors and beautiful form bad so charmed her that her young mistress, whom she had loved and nursed with the* unselfish devotion of a dog, gave It her. She held it in her hands the night she died anil when Lureeuy had asked if It were not very precious the dying girl said: “Yes, Lureeny, It is precious, very precious. Cousin Godfrey brought It to me, and he has gone where I shall “Is de Fitin’ All Over Yit?” soon follow. Never part with it so long as you live, and when you die give it to tire best person you know.” Then she kissed the eypria. In that moment her eyes closed, and her last sigh drifted into the beautiful shell. Now, Lureeny was going to give this precious thing to her hero, the com passionate Lincoln. Who hut he was worthy of this gift over which had swept the pore breath of the maiden who died of a broken heart? Some times Lureeny put the shell to her ear and the soft breath of tier young mis tress seemed to be sighing inside. Days the poor old couple journeyed on, weary and disappointed that the way was so interminable. At last they reached a height from which they could see in the distance the goal of their efforts, the city of Washington, i They both lifted their hands in joy and thankfulness. It was more beau- I tlful than they had dreamed. I “Oh, 'Lonzo. it is like the new Jeru salem. But I’se too plum tuckered out to go on topight. We’ll eat a snack, an - den set hyar till daylight, and den put on our store cloze an’ go on. What ye reckon Mass’ Linkum ’ll say?” “1 dunno, but I reckon he'll be mighty kin’, speshully w’en he larn | ail ’bout us. You lean back agin the PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, APRIL 4. 1919 tree an’ I’ll cubber you up wld our be#’ cloze.” The feeble eyts of the old man were clear enough to see that Lureeny was very weak and weary. She re plied: “You hasn’t got a bit o* sense. But, I duz feel kinder chillin! ’Bears like sumpfn in hyar is plum wore out, dess like a ole clock mos’ run down. And, if we tu’n ’em inside out —” Lureeny felt strangely weak and cold. A chill such as she had never felt before benumbed her by degrees. So strange did she feel that she called her husband. “ ’Lonzo, I is awful col’. I reckon I’s gwine ter die right now, in sight of de promise’ lan’. ’Lonzo, ef dat is so, I want you to take dis yere o’inge cipperus to Mass’ Linkum, an’ tell him to keep it till de longes’ day he live, and den give it to de bes’ pusson he know, an’ tell him ’bout de chllluns, an dat I axed him to befrien’ you. You’ve been a good man to me, ’Lon zo —” Here the husky voice broke off and Alonzo was alone. Who could depict the grief and an guish of the poor old man as he sat that long night through beside the dead form of his wife? In the morn ing some other refugees came along and helped him to bury her wrapped carefully in her “store clothes.” Then Alonzo started on his mission. Days of misery, anxiety, hunger, cold &sM jfjj|f| Before Him Stood the Tall Form. and rebuffs passed, but always the white head and wrinkled face haunted the grounds. He wus not allowed to see the president. At last, one day, worn out by his sufferings he sank at the foot of a tree just as the joyous voice of a child was heard. The boy was none other than Tad, the Benjamin of his father’s heart. Tad saw the poor old man vainly trying to rise and went to him frankly and fearlessly. Young as he was he saw thaffthe old man was In a sail state and asked if he wanted anything. “Yes, young massn, I wants to see Mass’ Linkum. I done got sumpin berry precious fo’ he all, but dey won’t let me see him.” "Well, you come with me,” said the lad, with spirit. Alonzo could scarcely totter to a place where the boy seated him on a bench saying: “Wait here a minute. IT! bring him.” Tears streamed down the old man's face. He was weak from hunger and exposure, and the death of his wife was a great blow. He fumbied in his pocket and brought out the shell, and thinking that the cloth around it was too soiled he threw it away, anti then —before hint stood the tall fprm, with the ruggetl features of his face aglow with deep compassion that was part of his nature. The great man, great in all things, sat' down by Alonzo say ing pleasantly: “Well, uncle, what is It?” “Oh, Massa Linkum, praise de Lord dat I done lib to see dis day. Here is a gif’ fo’ you from Lureeny—my— wife. She died afo’ she could gib hit hersef. She say hit am berry precious, and she done hah to gib hit to de bes* pusson littbin’—and she was a chillin’ fo’ death when she gin hit to me fo’ you.” Saying this Alonzo held out his toil deformed hand with the beautiful shell gleaming in a ray of sunshtue that filtered through the tree on his dark palm. “I thank you for the gift and she who is gone, but I do not feel that I deserve it.” “Oh, yes, you do, daddy. Yes, you do!” said Tad eagerly. Then the homely faS? of Lincoln quivered and his eyes suddenly burned. Only Lincoln’s great heart could un derstand the pathos of this gift and appreciate it. It was all the giver had. He coughed two or three times before he could speak. “Tell me about yourself gijd where you came from." Alonzo was a man of few words but his tale was even the stronger for tIUIL as he told of their sufferings ou their way toward the realization of their hopes. As he finished, the o]<J man fainted and sank to the ground, Kind hands raised him, fed him, and took him to a hospital where he ended his days in a comfort he had never known. His last words were: “Lord bless Mass’ Linkum. and give him the desire of hees heart-’’ The orange eypria is in the Smith sonian institution, now with its mate, which was found in the pocket of a young Confederate officer. Few know its history or how It came into the possession of the “best person in the world.” (OopjvUbt, 1918, Western Newspaper VtMM.) OR file Woman the Germans Shot.” “She dared to love her country. Her country was England, but she was living in Bel gium. So the Germans killed her. ‘The laws of no country in the world, not even German laws, give the death penalty for what Edith Cavell did. Nevertheless, the Germans killed her. “She was a gentle fragile woman of middle age, the head of a Red Hospital in Brussels. She helped some of her countrymen to get back to England. For this, fhe Germans killed her. “It is fitting therefore that on the anniversary of her lonely death, women everywhere should thank God that he gave a woman the opportunity to show such love of country, and that Edith Caveli was able to show stuff so noble, so pure, so heroic, that the Ger mans could not understand her, even though because of this lack of understanding they killed her” You have read the Caveli Story in the News papers and now you can see it oil Canvas.
