II EY never would
ha ro had any
soldlor or
known a thing
about htm If
thoy hadn't
come home from
school around by tho cemetery that
night Tho teacher had been telling
them that afternoon that all tho ar-
rangements wero mado to havo n
big celebration Decoration day. It
never had been celebrated at Crane's
Corners before but when tho Crano's
Corners folks undertook to do a
thing they did It "up brown." En-
quire Tonnley nnd Deacon Miles had
been up to tho city and engaged a great
could cntch a gllmpso of graceful wil-
lows nnd mattod roso bushes between
the pickets. At tho front tho big whlto
gates wera fastened with a padlock
and tho steps Hint usually served to
senlo tho fence had been carried away
to be painted In order to present a
morn crcdltablo appearance at tho cele-
bration. As the children stood wondettng how
they cmt'.d most easily get In a neat
llttlo old lady came round tho corner
of tho churchyard and joined them.
Bho stopped nnd looked when sho'saw
tho stens wcro gone. Tho children
noticed she carried a crutch and was
lame.
"How con I get In?" sho asked np
peallngly.
The children looked at her nnd then
at ono another.
"Oh soy. Lit" Fred began suddenly
"don't you remember thcro used to bs
sorno loose pickets over on the other
side? Maybe I can tako them out nnd
we can nil get through In that way."
"Come onj lei's see." And Lulu nnd
Fred went to cxamtnolhe fence.
Tho old lady sat down on tho grass
and tmlled at Molllo and Nellie.
"I'm very tired children" sho said
opologctlcullr. Sho held a llttlo bunch
of lilacs and syrlngas which sho laid
down In her lap.
Tho children smiled back nt her
sympathizing'.
"I try to come to his gravo every
year" tho old lady continued. '"My
boy you know no was unicu in me
war."
"A soldier!" tho children said under
thnlr breaths.
"Yes a soldier and a bravo one too
even it It Is his mother who says It. lie
was only eighteen. Ho enlisted younger
than they meant to tako them but ho
was largo and full grown and ho was
f.lld to go. Oh those woro terrible
times back in '03 terrible! tcrriblcl"
and a tear trickled down tho old lady's
cheek.
"Wo always Intended to have a stono
with his amo and tho company to
which ho belonged nnd 'Died In de-
fense of his country nt Vlcksburg but
stones used to cost moro than they do
now and then fifteen years ago wo
moved on ay and after that wo didn't
seem to huvo good luck. John that's
my husband and I used to come hero
every year to Ilobert's grave; till eight
years ago John died and l'vo been
coming nlono ever since."
The children wcro silent and Kclllo
was wiping her eyes on the corner of
her checked apron. Finally Molllo
asked softly:
"Do you Hvo far from here?"
"Yes It's a day's Journoy and I'm
getting to old and so lame that each
ycor I'm afraid 1 won't bo nblo to como
the next"
Just then Fred nnd Lulu camo back.
"Oh wo'vo found a splendid place to
get la. Como ont" they cried.
Nellie helped the old lady to her feci
and koptathcr side while Molllc led
tho way with Fred and Lulu. Sho told
them softly all about tho old lady's boy
soldier.
They helped her carefully through
the fence whero Fred had pulled out
the pickets nnd then followed her
slowly down the soft green paths be-
tween graves covered with myrtla nnd
star-like blue flowers. Sho brought
them Into a forsaken corner to a grave
covered with rosa briars and hidden
under last year's dead leaves. Then
she sank down and said pltcously:
"I'll havo to rest"
mention tliu fnct that he was op at
four o'clock and had been rnklng and
putting a certain lot to rights nil the
morning.
Decoration day camo bright and
beautiful. Tho sky smiled down as
blue as the myrtla blossoms. It seemed
as If everything was conspiring to
make the day a success lion. Horatio
Illgclow camo on the morning train
and Deacon Miles brought htm over
from. tho station In his buggy. Ho and
tho minister were going to head the
procession In Esqulro Tonnley's best
phaolon.
At ten o'clock to the minute they
started. They wero followed by the
squire's gray team nnd tho deacon's
doublo carriage with the four "old
veterans" that Crane's Corners pos-
sessed. Oh dear mol I forgot tho
band. That headed the procession of
course and It did credit to all of its
practicing tool After the veterans
came tho citizens in line and last but
not least by any means the girls and
boys laden down with flags and
flowers.
Tho exercises opened with a prayer
from ltev. Mr. Doollttle pastor of tho
brick church and then Hon. Horatio
Illgclow mado a speech that added
luster to his already famous reputa
tion to this day tho Crane's Corners
folks speak of hint in tho same tono of
awe-struck admiration that they uso
In speaking of Daniel Webster and
Gladstone Then tho band burst forth
Into "My Country "Til of Thee" and
tho procession began to move.
There weren't very many soldiers
burled In tho Crane's Corners burying
ground. There wcro Bqulro Tonnley's
two boys who wero shot nt Hull Run.
Tlioro was a large monument put up to
their memory tho largest In tho ceme-
tery. The procession marched to that
first Tho band plny'ed softly: "Tent-
ing To-night" while tho children laid
a wreath on each grave and the boys
planted their flags. During the cere-
mony all heads wcro uncovered and at
its close Hon. Horatio Jllgelow made
some appropriate remarks.
Then tho procession moved on to an-
other gravo and another cvon stopping
at old Mr. Dean's grave who ruined
ills health In tho war but lived to a
good eld nge and died a peaceful death
many years after it was over. That
was tho last grave the last that had
been marked for the children to visit

joralor obi a wonderful manl to come
and mako the speech. And tho Crane s
Corners band nnd tho band from
East Mllbanlc met twlco a week In the
old brick meeting-house and practiced
till their lips wero sore and their
arms ached. And now tho school
trustees had decided that after the
bands and the orator and tho few old
veterans and tho citizens who would
Join In tho parade the children should
march In line. Tho girls wcro all to be
dressed In tthlte with bluo sashes and
to carry bouquets and tho boys woro
to carry flags for the soldiers' graves.
The graves wcro nil to be marked be-
forehand uud after tho orutor had
spoken tho band was to strlko up Borao
real stirring war tuno and the children
wero to march up tho narrow grassy
walks and on each soldier's gravo the
girls wero to leave a bouquet and the
boys to plant a 'lag.
After school was out they all walked
together as far as the corner nnd the
teacher told them they would meet
and go over It nil together Saturday
afternoon for Decorntion day was only
next Tuesday and it would bo awful
not to have everything go Just right
Then sho went Into the houso where
she bonrded. and tho most of tho chil
dren said good-night and turned down
the west road toward homo. There
wero Just Molllo and Nellie Dent and
Lulu and Fred Ashley who kept on
straight up tho rond. "Say" Lulu
said when they wero by themselves
"It wouldn't bo but a llttlo out of the
way to go round by tho cemotery.
Let's go."
"All right" tho other girls aaH. "!
Frou said ho'd Just as soon- 89 they
went w the longest way round till
they enmo to tho dear oltl-fushloned
cemotery. It wm surrounded by a
lilgh boird ftnc. painted white Ilk
tit VomlrttouM ptfpinir writ. ou
Nelllo got down on her knees nnd be-
gan scraping away tho leaves with her
lingers and the other children followed
her example.
The old lady sat watching them with
tho tears trickling down her cheeks
"Saturday morning I'll bring over
the rake and theso roso bushes need
trimming" Fred said with a business-
like air.
Molllo slipped her han1 Into the old
lady's as she rose U her feet
"Do you like pinks?" she whispered
"I'll bring a root over nnd plant on his
grave."
"They were his favorite flower" the
old lady said with a little choke In her
voice.
"Theronow" snld Nellie "l'vo made
n nlco plato for tho flowers. Of course
you'll w out to put them on his gravo
your own solf."
A sho knelt over the grave with tho
flowers Nellie whispered to the others:
"Don t you think we ought to go nnd
leave her nlono with him?"
And eren Fred nodded "Yos."
Sho seemed to havo forgotten all
about them until Nellie whispered:
"We're going now ma'am. Uood-byl
And we'll bring sonio water for the
r flowers to-morrow and Fred will fix the
lot all up."
Tho old lady clasped her hands as if
she wcro praying:
"fJood-by children! Ood bless youl
I ahull never forget all your kindness!"
"Oood-byl" and they stole softly and
reverently back through llio fence.
"Havo to leavo 'em out till to-mor
row" Fred said looking at tho pickets.
Thoy talked it over nnd over on thn
way home nud they mado u plan but
thoy didn't tell n soul about it until
Decoration day so Pin not going to
either.
Thoy met ou Saturday nnd rehearsed
lor tin clbritlon ud Vrd didn't
anybody to keep step with anybody the night
uui iney lonoweu jusv 1110 same until
Fred and Nelllo stopped at their sol-
dier's grave.
Hon. Horatio Illgclow looked in vain
at 'Squlro Tonnley for a hint toward an
appropriato word over tho grave In this
far away corner. Esquiro Tonnley
looked back at him with a blank face.
He aid not kn ow who was burled there.
Hon. Horatio Illgclow decided to
take matters into bis own bands and
made a way for himself through tho
crowd up to Nolllo and Fred.
"Was this soldier a relatlvo ol yours?"
ho asked softly as ho saw tbe tears In
Nellie's eyes.
Then Nellie poured the whole story
Into this great man's cars. He listened
to It with close attention.
"Don't be afraid" ho said. "I want
you to tell that Btory over again Just
as you havo been telling It to me" and
before sho knew It he had lifted her
onto tho front seat of the deacon's
double carrlago that was waiting in tho
driveway to carry back the "veterans"
and she was telling the story orer again.
When sho stopped thero was not a
dry cyo In tho crowd.
Esquire Tonnley was wiping his eyes
with a big red bandanna and saying to
Deacon Miles "that be rememberei as
distinctly as If It was yesterday. It
was John Allen's boy Kobert s good
a lad as over lived."
Then Hon. Horatio illgt-low's dear
voice rang out:
"Follow citizens! Brothers! Patrlotst
Your faces tell mo that you are deeply
touched with this llttlo story. You are
grateful to theso llttlo children who
have saved one of your heroes from
neglect to-day. You weep with the
widowed mother whose fond ambition
to ralso a stono to hrr son has not beeu
gratified. Lot roe tell you do some-
thing moro than veep raise the monu
ment for her. Mako the widow happy
nnd do honor to her boy hero!"
Here the speaker's words rtere
drowned In wild applause and tho band
broke Into "Tho Star Spangled Wan-
ner." In tho midst of it nil Nellie
found herself In tho crowd with Hon.
Horatio Illgelow's silk hat in her
hands nnd men and women young
folks and children were doing their
best to All it raining In bills sliver
und small change
That was several years ago. The old
lady still lives and Is able to cotne on
her annual pilgrimage to her boy's
grave. Tho year after this first Deco-
ration day at Crane's Corners Nellie
and Molllo Dent Lulu and Fred Ash-
ley wcro waiting for Iter at the train
and escorted her to the little cemetery
behind Deacon Miles' gray team with
the deacon himself driving. Tho mar-
ble monument that stood over her
soldier boy's gravo could bo &em tow-
ering slim and wblto a halt mile away.
Tho children had written her about It
but It was more beautiful than she hod
dreamed.
And to this day thero Is not a lot so
beautifully kept nor a gravo ho con-
stantly covered: with flowers as the oue
vtlth the tall monument inscrtoeu:

A Novel Trap.
A short timo ago a hunter found in
a patch of woods in Connecticut eleven
large black snakes tied up in hard
knots and stone dead. Two telegraph
wires ran through the woods overhead
and a few days before thcro had been
a heavy blast set off in a quarry near
by. This broke down the wires and
started a colony of black snakes from
their slumbers In a neighboring ledge.
One of the wires was crossed in a dis-
tant city by a trolley wire nnd hence
the broken wires which lay near the
snakes' den made a death trap. When
the snakes came to the wires trailing
on the ground one after another
crossed over them touching the ends
of both wires at tho same time. They
thus "short circuited" them and re-
ceived a shock which caused death.
Immediately upon being shocked each
snake curled up In a hard knot thus
opening the circuit and setting the
trap again. (Jolden Days.
cordtngly they called the sergcant-at-
nrms to their assistance and mrcctca
that n subpcna bo Issued for lluttz.
