"Then you won't tell him to stop
coming?"
"How can I?" mildly. "He's a nice
young man?nice ways and nice talk
ing. And he's company for Etta?and
for me. too," with unusual spirit. "It's
been lonesome up here since John died.
We used to reud a good deal and?and
talk," a wistful quaver coming into
her voice. "John loved books, like
Etta. We read now and talk, us two,
but it?it can't ever be?the same. I
was glad when Howard Chandler
camped In the woods near ~aS and be
gan to call. He likes books, too, and
knows what Is going on in the world.
He's been company for us both."
"Company," aggressively, "an' me
an' Ben Urin' right here in arm's
length! Ben left his tanbarkin' all
last week an' hung around Etta just
to be company, an' Etta scarcely no
ticed him. An* I'll say right here an'
now that Ben don't like this Howard
Chandler. That's what he's hangiu'
around so much for."
"I wish you wouldn't talk like that.
Jane," expostulated the other woman.
"Etta is only a little jrirl yet and not
ready for such thoughts. And?and. If
yon won't mind my saying so. Ben
Isn't the sort of company she ought to
have. He drinks a good deal and
won't work. That tanbarklng job he's
been talking about a year,' and I don't
believe he's worked on It a week alto
gether. He's always leaving it for
something. Ben couldn't support a
wife even up here in the woods. He's
too mueh like"?
Jane bounced up angrily.
"Like his pa, I suppose you was
goiu" to say." she snapped. "Well,
p'raps he Is. I hope so. I like folks to
be just what they be. an' Ben goes
round with corduroys an' galluses an'
pipe in his mouth,'with no put on.
This Howard Chandler of yours works
mebbe. though I've never seen It. He's
been cam pin' here five weeks now,
huntin' an' walkin' with Etta?yes. an'
read in' books." scornfully. "But he
puts all bis money in clothes an' looks
fine, an?but there they be now," as
two figures rounded a point in the
mountain path and approached them.
"Well, my eomp'ny won't be welcome,
so 111 be goiu'. But mind. Kate, if
Etta takes up permanent with that
feller ye needn't ever look to Ben an'
me for no help. We won't face no
such goin's on.. Pity John couldn't 'a'
lived longer."
"Jane!" The older woman's voice
was tremulous now. and there was a
note of entreaty in it. "I don't want
yon to go away feeling like that.
You're John's own cousin, and almost
his last words were that I must try
to"?she was about to say "bear with
you," but changed it instead to "be
friendly with you." "I wouldn't have
said what 1 did. only that Etta"? *
But Jane was already beyond hear

Kate Jordan sighed, and her dim
old eyes swept down the slope and out
across the valley beyond. It was

all woods, woods, woods, beautiful, but
inexpressively lonely. Suve for these
two little cabins, a stone's throw
npart, there was no sign of habita
tion within the whole range of vision.
Her luisband when -they first came
here, ten years before, had well named
the place Lonely.
But in his quiet way he had liked it.
He had bad his books and his
thoughts and his short, feeble walks
among the rocks and trees, and his
physician had said that the quiet and
the ozone of the mountain top were
the only things left that could help
him retain bis frail hold on life. So
she and Etta had never. Ijy word or
look, expressed a consciousness of the
isolation, and even when he had spoken
of it. watching them wistfully, they
had forced gladness into their eyes
and assured him it was all beautiful.
But after he lcfl II all came over
them?the deadly isolation and crush
ing loneliness. As a girl and woman
Kate Jordan had been in society and
always, till they came here, with many
friends and acquaintances around 1km-.

Go see it, it's a beauty. It stands
out among all its neighbors, because
the coloring is so bright and clear.
Mr. Ericson painted with L. & M.

ever before. He bought only 12
gallons of L. & M. Paint and 9 gal

This made 21 gallons of pure paint,
and cost only $1.20 per gallon. It's
as handsome as the finest in town.

frail old scholar meant all that was
noble and tender; to Kate Jordun the
remembrance of him was now life.
True, there were lieu and his mother.
But their presence only added to the
desolation of the isolation. The shift
less family for years had been looked
after by Professor Jordan, and when
he came to the mountains he had con
sented for them to follow. His pen
sion was not large, but It had been
sufficient to maintain the two fam
ilies in the woods. Now, with him
gone and the pension stopped the nat
ural aggressiveness of Ben and his
mother was arrogating to themselves
what had been done by the dead man.
They tried to constitute themselves
watchdog and guardian and censor
all that did not imply actual giving or
help.
"Looking or?t across a bit of nature
that is unspoilea by man," said How
ard Chandler as he and Etta stopped
beside her, "I can understand how
Professor Jordan loved that view.
While a man has strength there Is
work out in the world for him to do,
that he ought to do, wants to do, but
when the strength goes it Is good to
live beside and above a view like
that, with Its sublimity entering into
one's soul. I have been here only five
weeks and feel like a new man."
? "You came here I'or rest, then?" said
Mrs. Jordan, for Howard had spoken
little of himself.
"Yes; I worked rather hard at col
lege, and my doctor advised it. And I
have you and Etta?Miss Jordan here
?to thank for contributing so much to
the pleasure of the stay. You have
been nice to me."
"It has been mutual. Do you think
of leaving us soon?"
"Yes. though not for a few days.
Miss Jordan and I have been talking,
and she spoke of?of Memorial day,
and"?
Mrs. Jordan's eyes grew tender.
"It is our first memorial." she said
In a low voice. "John was a soldier,
and the real cause .of bis death was a
wound be received long ago Ift the
war. Etta and I want to gather a few
flowers, and?and"?
She could go no further, for her
voice began to tremble, and her eyes
had filled with tears. Howard sat
down beside her on the roughly hewn
log bench which ran around two sides
of the cabin.
"I understand." he said gently, "and
with your permission I will stay over
until after Memorial day and join you.
There are very few (lowers in the vi
cinity except dogwood and the wild
wind (lowers, which fade quickly. But
I know of a fine clump of white rhodo
dendrons several miles down the slope
that are in full bloom, and I will bring
some of them, and perhaps I can find
a few flowers in the valley. My grand
father was a soldier, and l have always
taken part In Memorial clay exercises
at home. I will be glad to join you.
the more so from what Miss Jordan
has told me of the brave man who has
gone. She says you are from the west
ern part ol" the state. May I ask to
what regiment he belonged?"
'?The Second volunteers. Company C.
He was first lieutenant and served
from the beginning. About his only
regret at being up here was that he
could not see anything more of his old
comrades. He ofien wondered what
they were doing and how many of
them were still alive. His great wish
was to see his old commander. Gen
eral Tavis, once more. They were at
college together and dear friends.
When General Tavis founded his com
pany my husband was the first one to
enroll his name. I wish 1 knew the
general's address so I could write him
about John."
Howard's face bad grown eager, and
he was about to speak, but checked
himself.
"You have heard of the company
perhaps?" said Mrs. Jordan wistfully.
"It did some very hard fighting, and
more than one-half of the company
were killed in the war, and many oth
ers were wounded, some of whom soon
died. There cannot be very many
left."
Howard's face was grave, tender,
i reminiscent.
"Yes, I know of the company and its
brave deeds," he answered. "When
at home I always went to the reunions
with my grandfather and knew some
thing of all the companies In the state.
But everybody has heard of Company
C, Its heroism and tragedy. Only two
comrades were supposed left to an
swer their name at roll call, and one
of them was Lieutenant Jordan. I did
not connect him wuh Professor Jor
dan when talking with Etta. The
only man left of the whole company
now is General Tavis." ^
Mrs. Jordan's eyes filled; then a
strange, faraway look came into them.
"John has all bis comrades with him,
then," she murmured, "and they are
up there wailing for their old com
mander. A little while?only a little
while?longer and they will welcome
me too. Brave men ore lender meu,
find they will save n place for me be
side John."
"Please don't, grandma." pleaded
Etta. "Grandfather can wait tor you
awhile longer, and I need yon here
more tlnm lie docs tlier?-. Think of me
hero alone."
The old woman drew the girl down
upon her lap, but the faraway luok re-j
mained in her eyes.
"You will be taken rare of. child. j
like tho rest of us." sbe said. "But
don't worry. I a in ju--i :!-? strong to

Howard was on his feet before them,

Indeed. I had not Intended for Etta to

path, and it all came out iu an un

has been said and what passed be

very pleasant neighbors. I had Intend

some business and then come back for

known me for a few weeks, so I should

Etta would uot care for them. But
now 1 think it best for me to go down
only for a day or two aud. witli your
consent, come back with a minister.
Memorial day is Wednesday, and I'll
get here Tuesday afternoon. Thurs
day or Friday we will all go to my
house until 1 make other arrange
ments."
"Leave here!" exclaimed Mrs. Jordan.
"Yes; it will be best. Your husband
would say so. From what you have
told me of your life since he died you
can realize something of what the fu
ture would be. We could come back
every year, and it will be nice to come
at this season, to be here Memorial
day. You can trust me, Mrs. Jordan."
The old woman looked at him steadi
ly for some moments, her eyes soften
ing.
"Yes, Howard. I can trust you." she
said. "You could not look at me like
that otherwise. It may be you are
right. I think you are. We will ex
pect you Tuesday."
After he had gone the yearning wlst
fulness again returned to her eyes.
"I wish I bad asked him to bring a
few rosebuds," she said regretfully.
"John loved roses more than all the
other flowers. They were his favor
ites. I did think of It, but did not
like to ask."
"Oh, grandma. 1 wish you had!" ex
claimed Etta. "Howard would have
been ouly too glad. And he won't be
back in time to get the rhododendrons
he spoke about. We must pick all the
flowers we can, and perhaps we will
find some pretty leaves to arrange
with them."
So nil day Monday and Tuesday
morning saw them searching after
flowers; but. though the quantity was
satisfactory, the quality was not. as
showed in the disappointed eyes. They
were on the bench seat arranging
them when they heard the sound of
hoof beats and looked down the path to
see four horsemen approaching Instead
of two.
Howard and a tall, distinguished
looking man with white hair and beard
were riding ahead. Behind them was
a grave young fellow whose dress be
spoke the clergyman. The fourth rider
was almost hidden by a huge paste
board box carried across the pommel
of his saddle. Howard and his com
panion sprang from their horses?the
older with almost as much ease as the
younger?and came forward
"Mrs. Lieutenant Jordan." said How
ard, "this is my grandfather. General
Tavls. and this." lingering a little on
the name, "is Etta, grandfather."
Mrs. Jordan had risen to welcome
tbem, but at the name she suddenly
swayed. The general caught both her
hands.
"John's wife." he said gently. "I
would ilke to have met you under dif
ferent circumstances with him, but
waited too long. When Howard told
jne, I had to come. And this is Etta,"
turning to the young girl and kissing
her. "Howard has told me about you,
too. my dear. He Is fortunate. And I
am fortunate in the prospect of hav
ing you and John's wife with me. I
