a long breath. "And now, sir," he
said, "you will understand why we
Greggs ore a proud race. We stood by
our native land In her time of direct
need. Can your family match this
record?"
The young man shook his head.
"I'm afraid not, sir. One of my
grandfathers was a clergyman, sir,
and the other was a physician."
The old man waved his hand as if
dismissing on audience.
Then, sir, you must give up all
thoughts of marrying Josephine. The
Greggs have too much pride to ally
themselves with a family whose patri
otic sacrifices date back only to the
Clvl War. Look up your forefathers,
sir, and if you find anything report to
me promptly. Good afternoon."
Good afternoon," said the younger
man.
The young man went away feeling
blue. He had dreaded this neeessarv
interview, and now it had turned out
much worse than he expected.
He found Josephine waiting for
him on the side porch.
She read his face as he came near.
"Well?" she said.
"Bad?" he answered.
"Did you approach father as I told
you?"
"There was very little approach
about it. He met me more than half
way and bowled me over."
"I'm afraid you blundered."
"No, I didn't. I didn't have time."
He frowned at her. "Why didn't you
tell me about the battle of Lake Erie?"
"Dear me, did he mention that?"
"Did he mention Is I Why, he pretty

what I'll do I'll consult a lawyer."
The old man looked up from his
writing.
"How are you, Stewart?" he said,
as he waved his hand toward a chair.
"We don't see much of you of late?
You mustn't let that little disagree
ment stand in the way of our contin
ued friendship, my boy."
"Thank you, Mr. Gregg." He hesi
tated. "I am here on a somewhat pe
culiar errand, sir. If you remember
our talk last month you will recall
that you advised me to look up the
records. I have done so, sir, and the
result in one instance is somewhat sur

big envelope from his Inner pocket.
"May I read this communication, 'sir?
It is quite brief."
"Does It concern me?"
"It It may interest you, sir."

or brakes had grown each year from
the soil, and here and there a few pop

by the wind and cherry trees from
seed carried by the birds. Left to it
