Tomorrow the neighbors would gather and John Berwln would hang out the red ring. By nightfall tbe house would be emptied and Its con tents scattered through tbe farmhouses tor miles round.

She b.i even refused to marry Ben Folsonj because she had consid ered It her duly to stay by ber father and comfort blm In his sorrow. , Ben had gnu west and abe was left more than ever alone. Then had come that terrible ay, a year and a week after her mother'a death, when ber father had driven Into the yard with Sadie Connors, wbo had been teaching jcyool over lit the corners, and had anuouneed his marriage! Vesta trliil to leam to love this gnunt hustling woman, whose every trait was the antithesis of the woman whose plnre ih took, but the new Mrs. Brewstiu had repulsed every ad Tunce.

Xhe could bear ber futber laughing aud joking with ber atewotber. and tbe noise of mirth fell offensively upon ber ears.

'1 would rather die," aha murmured passionately. "It la like a aecond burial to go away and leave mother up there on the bill all alone." "And your father?" be asked gently. 'Do you still feel that be needa you more than I do?" How much do yon need me?" abe demanded shyly. So much tbat I have coma almoat arrosa the continent to ask you again If you will marry me," be declared. I have done well out west far bet ter than 1 anticipated. I can buy tbe farm. Pcrhnpa we can arrange with your father to bny tbe furniture, too, and we will make a new borne where the old one was. Are you willing. dear?" "Not for the sake of a home," said Vesta softly, "but because you want me, Ben, and because I want you, too, dear."

Tbe army regulations of tb TJnlted States provide that the nag at every post shall be raised at reveille each morning and lowered each evening at sunset, while the soldiers stand at sa lute and the band plays "The Star Spangled Banner." The flag la never left out overnight for any reason, except perhaps one. When a foil or military poet la actual ly under fte from the enemy the flag may wave defiantly until hostilities are over. This waa poetically exemplified In Key'a Immortal song, wherein one line has it "Through the night our flag was still there!" At all arniy posts, moreover, there Is a special stenu flag, half s large as the regnlnr post flag, wblcb Is flown in stormy and windy weather. Another regulation la that on nil oc casions when the flng Is displayed at half mast It shall lie lowered to that position from the top of the staff.
