He 'just got np and walked away with his anna folded and his face white and left Mr. Joe standing with dumb Hps and scarlet face. "A few days after that I saw Mlas Martha and Mr. Henry drifting down the river In a boat Miss Martha waa sitting in the stern looking down at her hands trailing in the water, and Mr. Henry, with his oars crossed in his lap, wag leaning forward gazing into Mlas Martha's face. "Pretty soon Mr. Joe cam along. I knew he bad Beta Mlsa Martha and Mr. Henry, but he never let on, only he waan't whlatling, as usual. "Well, about tbl time the war with Spain broke out. Old Judge Singleton drove around making speeches-end be was a powerful speaker in bis day and General Beasley got on hla old white horse, all fixed out in the uni form lie wore when he fought with Sheridan, and went galloping up and down, calling on all the men folks to enlixt. .

Then, arm In arm. they went tip th path, and there wasn't any shadow between them after thatthere never waa any more. Mr. Joe and Mr. Henry found Miss Martha In the meadow back cf her father's house, and Mr. Joe explained What they had come to find out. ".Vow, of course Mta Martha knew very well what her answer should be. but she pretended not to be Interest ed. Bo she glanced roguishly first at on, then at the other, the sunset creeping Into her cheeks and the light of all the aura creeping into her eye. Then she plucked a dale out of the clover and said she would let the daisy decide. And with that ah pulls off the petal, saying, 'Joe, Henry, Joe, Henry,' Like that.

"I never aaw aay brighter sunshine or any bluer aky than there was that day. Old General Beasley was on hla white horse, galloping back and forth and waving the sword with which he fought with Sheridan, and Judge Sin gleton climbed on a box and made a speech to the auldlera, exhorting tbem to bring glory to old Lawrence county. "Presently the captain spoke, and the soldiers put their gun on their shoulders and they were off down th road. Mr. Joe and Mr. Henry were marching aide by aide, and as they turned the corner Mr. Henry glanced back at Mies Martha. She flutttwed hor handkerchief, and he waved bla cap. and In his eye waa a great happiness. But Mr. Joe never looked back: he just kept his em to the front And there was a mealow lark singing some where down by ihe river. Miss Martha received many letters from Mr. Henry, and she used to come down the path and alt la the door right where you are sitting now and read them, but I could tell by the way she sighed when she flnlnhed that the let ters from Mr. Henry didn't satisfy her. "Onelday she aaya to me, playing with the strings of her bonnet, 'Auntie Becky,' says she, 'do yon ever get any letters from Joe, Auntie Becky f "Then she pulls the bonnet down over her eyes, but I aaw her cheeka, and they were the color of a aumac leaf In October-that red. 'Oh, Auntie Becky,' she said, 'I wish there never bad been any dalaiea In oar meadow,' and she covered her face with her hands. "So the weeks and the months went by with nothing but war, war, war. But one day Mhw Martha burst In at the door all excited, and ah aaya, 'Oh, Auntie Becky, sit down, I've some thing Important to read you.' "It was a letter from Mr. Henry, and he wrote about a big battle down In Cuba. The letter wasn't written for more than two weeks after th fight, for Mr. Henry bad been wounded and waa In a hospital. "Mr. Henry called It Ban Juan where he was shot He wrote that when be came to himself after being struck be was lying on the ground and there waa a terrible pain In bis breast He tried to get upon his feet, but fell back exhausted and waited for death. And pretty soon Mr. Joe came crawllDg to him. "Mr. Joe didn't have on any hat, nor he didn't have any gun, and hi hair was matted with blood, and bis face was black with powder emoke. : "He took Mr. Henry' head In hla arms, and he held a canteen to hla mouth and he said, Here, Henry, drink some of this.' ' "But Mr. Henry only glanced up Into Mr. Joe's face weak Ilka and aaya, I 'low I'm done for,' says he. "Then, Mr. Henry wrote, Mr. Jos listed Mm uo a 1UU aud aa, T.oat talk that wy,' ho say, 'tout t to live, Henry j j'no've got to llv for Ml Martha; you've st to llv to go b;k to th old Whlw river,' li aaya, I mlnaed you wliou we pulled our Ire together over lucre,' ha aaya, 'aad I came back after you, Henry Hold oa tight Tin irolug to tak you through that hell or .Mix Martha ain't going to Me either of us again.' And n did, and that was all Mr. Beurr wwot to Mis Martha In that letter. "When Mima Martha lulahod reading fat e fpnt It back in the envelope ejomly and didn't any word for tw or tw minutes.

"Then I saw clearly bow thing were, and I saw my duty aa th Lord mad me to understand It "So on day when Mr: Joe cam down the path Under the wild grape Tinea and tat down In the door to talk to Aunt Bccty I told him bow anxious Mlas Martha had been regarding bitn, and 1 aaw his face brighten suddenly, a the old white river brightens when the clouds part and let the aunahln tumble down. "That gave mo courage, so 1 said, Mr. Joe, says I, 'why don't yon go courting Miss Mnrthar "Mr. Joe roe up, and there wa t look of deep pain on his face, but bis Hpa were pressed tightly together. '"Aunt Becky.' he aaya, 'Miss Mar tha has decided between us." And with that he turned and walked away, "I told Miss Martha what Mr. Joe said. She dMn't make any reply, but wandered slowly away down by the river, and I lout sight of her behind the brush over there. "I followed her and found her lying amid the clover, with her face burled In her arms, the new sunshine falling asleep In her balr and her slim, little body shaking with her sous. "I took her in my arm and dried her tears and helped her back to my cabin. Then I heard aomo one whistling and aaw Mr. Joe coming down the path. So I told Miss Martha to alt down, and I shut the door and went to meet Mr. Joe and told him there was an old friend In my cabin who wanted to aee him. - Who Is Itr he asked, but 1 says, Go In and see, Mr. Joe, and God bleaa yon both,' says I. Then I opened th door, and Mr. Joe went In alone. ' "I walked down by the river and aat on the bank, watching the tree limbs bending to kiss the ripples. "When I retunied It was nearly aun- aet, and when 1 glanced In at the open door I saw Mr. Joe holding Miss Martha's hands and looking down Into her face, and Mls Martha wa amil- tog np into Mr, Joe's face, and in the eyes of each I aaw a great tender ness. There was a deep stillness in the room, but down somewhere by the river there was a sapgucktr singing." Aunt Becky arose and, going to the door, drained the water off the pota toes. The child mulled. "I am so glad," she said. Then she arose hurriedly. "But I hear mamma calling, Good by, Aunt Becky," Fisher Brothers Company SOLS AGINTS ...
