THE HEART CALL OR DUTY
CALL—
It was difficult to decide—to hold
close to Southern life, love and
tradition, or to fight for the "equal-
ity of man" with the Northern
Blues.
Impulsive, proud and unreasoning,
his brother remained loyal to the
South ami slavery.
With the peach bloom of the South-
ern roBe, a girl l'air is the idol of
both brothers' hearts.
But while she loved them both she
chooses the one wh -e ideal-; and
loyalty are the same as liers. and
though the Northene v ins the
battle of principle, 1 e tastes the
dregs of defeat in '".Tie Sting of
Victory."
