Dunlap, aged 73 years, now living at
Stroud, believes that he as the only
survivor of the pony expres • ers whol
•arried nia from Sr. Joseph. Mo., to |
the Paciiie in the eurlv 00-.
He was a veteran of the Civil War,
a brave and fearless soldier, and his
grandchildren knew that such another
cra:idlatlH r had never lived. Kverv
sunny day you could see him ti his
whoi 1 chair or limping painfully along.
Tod and Tucker trying to help on one
side, and Marthy and Emmy on the
other. It troubled them not a little
that grandfather, who was the bravest
of the brave and the truest gentleman
on the whole earth, should wear
clothes that were shiny and frayed and
had been worn for many, many years.
For themselves they did not can ; they
had never done anything to merit fine
clothes.
Hut grandfather had done so much,
had been so faithful and brave and
true, and he should be clad in tine
raiment, it seemed to them. By hard
work they had managed to gather
enough nickels and dimes together to
buy the wheel chair from a second-
hand furniture man. It wasn't good
enough for grandfather, but it was
nln' very best they could do.
It was all Mrs. Monroe, tin
dren's mother, and grandfather'
daughter, could do to keep th
pairs of feet covered and the four little
bodies from suffering from the cold.
She worked hard and long, but she
never complained not even when
father left her suddenly to go to the
Beautiful Country where we shall all
meet some day when we are called
aw ay.
His four grandchildren were not the
old man's only admirers by any
means. He was always the center of
an interested group of boys ami girls,
who listened with rapt attention to his
wonderful tales of the war. The po
lieemen all knew and shook hands
with him. the firemen always touched
their caps to him. and the ear con-
ductors smiled at him as they dashed
by Grandfather thought it was only
common politeness, for he greeted
everyone because he had joy in his
heart, if his body was warped and
bent.
Grandfather had been shot in try-
ing to carry an important message
through the lines—he was the only
one who volunteered to carry the mes-
sage, for it was a terribly dangerous
undertaking.
What did it matter now, that he
had failed then? Was it not just as
brave a deed as though he had been
successful? He was the only man in
the regiment brave enough to under-
take it. The Monroe children knew
that if one is brave and does one's
vci v best, failure is as honorable as
much fit1.'

Margie Morris lived around the cor-
ner from the Monroes
house, and her dresses were soft and
pretty and not at all like those Marthy
and Emmy wore.
"Please dress me plainer, mother,"
she said more than once. "You see,
I feel very gaudy beside Marthy and
Emmy and the rest, and I wouldn't
like them to feel I'm better dressed. '
Margie need not have worried about
her clothes, however, for the Monroe
children did not care, although they
admired the dainty things she wore.
It was grandfather they cared about—
and Margie had no grandfather, so
they gave her a share in theirs. If
grandfather only had fine new clothes
and comforts like other old men they
would be happy indeed.
"Marthy. said one of the newcom-
ers in the neighborhood one day,
"why don't your grandfather wear his
soldier cap 'stead of that shabby old
h It hat? '
Marthy looked at Tod, Tod looked
at Tucker and Tucker looked at Em-
my. Then Emmy answered bravely:
"It's uecause his sojer cap is moth-
eaten."
Then why don't you buy him a new
other hat. persisted the newcomer.
' 1 should think you'd be ashamed of
him."
Emmy and Tod and Tucker and
Marthy had tears in their eyes by this
time, when Margie t ried suddenly to
the newcomer:
1 can beat you to the next corner!"
and off they started.
I think it was just cruel, I do!"
declared Margie at supper that night.
"They're just as poor as can be, and
every cent has to buy food, and their
dear old grandfather won't let them
buy anything for him. 1 do wish 1
could help them."
1 doubt if they would accept char-
ity." said her mother.
"Indeed they wouldn't." said Margie.
Big sister Mabel spoke up:
"Didn't he ever get a pension?" she
said.
"What is that?" asked Margie.
It's money paid yearly by the gov-
ernment to those who are disabled in
its service," explained Mabel.
The next day Margie asked Marthy
about it.
"We tried to once," said Marthy.
"but grandfather always said his fam-
ily thought more of him than the
government did. for the pension was
never given him."
"Mabel says he ought to have one,"
said Margie thoughtfully. Oh, Marthy
1 have an idea, and if you'll promise
not to tell till it's time I'll let you
help."
Cross mv heart, ' said Marthy sol-
emnly. "I'll only tell grandfather."
"But he's the most important one,"
cried Margie. "You must keep it a
great secret."
Marthy agreed, and later two flushed
faces bent over a sheet of paper, upon
which Marthy was writing at Margie's
dictation.
Nothing wonderful happened for a
long time, though the two little girls
had many talks over their "secret.
It was necessary to have some help.

"Let Margie open it." whispered
Marthy in his ear, "it was her idea.
So grandfather asked Margie to
open it; and open it she did right
there in the cemetery, among the
graves of many of the brave soldiers.
And what was it? A document that
told of a pension for grandfather!
And that meant enough money to keep
him clothed and comfortable ail the
rest of his life.
"And Margie got it. ' cried Marthy,
anxious to give her friend all the
glory. "She wrote to the President
herself, and he answered her letter,
grandfather; isn t it beautiful ?
Grandfather's eyes were dim with
tears of joy. Slowly he rose from the
wheel chair, and, standing erect on his
crippled feet, he saluted little Margii
in the stately way that he saluted his
general's grave.
What cheering there was. and what
a happy cavalcade danced home, each
in turn pushing grandfather s chair.
Margie never forgot that day. and
her most valued possession is a beauti

thanking her for her interest in one

DOCTOR ON FOOD.
Experimented on Himsc f.
A physician of Galion, O., says:
"For the last few years 1 have been a
sufferer from indigestion and al-
though I have used various remedies
and prepared foods with some benefit
it was not until 1 tried Grape-Nuts
that 1 was completely cured.
"As a food it is pleasant and ngree-
able, very nutritious and is digested
and assimilated with very little effort
on the part of the digestive organs.
As a nerve food and restorer it has
no equal and as sucli is esp'ecially
adapted to students and other brain
workers. It contains the elements
necessary for the building of nerve
tissue and by so doing maintains an
equilibrium of waste and repair.
"It also enriches the blood by giv-
ing an increased number of red blood
corpuscles and in this way strength-
ens all the crgans. providing a vital
fluid made more nearly perfect. I
take great pleasure in recommending
its use to my patients for I value it
as a food and know it will benefit all
who use it." Name furnished by Pos-
tum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.*
