trated bla initial end only act of boast
ing. He had said to her one day very
solemnly and no doubt sincerely:
J Toe purtee yo ! honah an' happiness
I 'ud th'ow away my wuthless life.”
Ordinarily Dave's speech was unpol
ished and provincial, but on this occa
sion it 'One to the dignity of what be
felt the occasion demanded.
Sue know full well his timorous dis
position, and would have thought it
safe to count on his poltroonery In any
event. Hut a day was sadly near which
proved to her the full worth of the
poor fellow's grandiloquent assertion.
I jong before the late unpleasantness,
and until this day, Honeypath was
only a siding where occasional trains
toolt water and passed each other.
Two or three log shanties, without
special pretensions to any architectur
al dlssimlarity, marked the site of-the
town, distinguishing it from the vast
area of impenetrable swamp that
hacked it and the arid waste of sandy
bottom through which the glistening
polished rails of the grand trunk line
writhed and sinuated. Along that
glowing metal highway troope of both
armies passed and repassed, gated
at curiously by ths fsw old women and
senile melee left la the village, but ex
citing no other emotion than a blank
ourioaity that died out evea before the
white mist of the One sand stirred by
the soldiers' feet had settled behind
the retreating hands

dainty aulU-colored llaards that played
aa eternal game of bids and seek amnag

The ttto bad disappeared into the
swamp and Dave calmly refilled bis
rifle, waiting aa though ioet la thought.
Presently from the roar of the cabin
came the harsh command :
"You cowardly bushwhacker in
there, come out an’ fight like a man i
If ye don't, we’U burn yean’ yer shanty
an'the gal with ye.”
There was no opening in the rear of
the cabin, the logs were thick and the
chinks were well stopped with clay, so
that Dave could not return a leaden an
swer to this brutal challenge. He fin
gered the rifle nervously and looked al
Sue. - --4 ——
"Ob, Dave, don’t open the door,” she
pleaded, meeting the earnest look bent
on her face from beneath the brim of
Dave's frouzy slouch hat; "I ain’t
afeered toe burn.”
His lips blanuhed, his knees were
wobbly with fear, but he had not for
gotten the one boast of his poor pinch-
edllfe, uttered so long ago. "Toe pur-
tec’ yo’ honah an’ happiness, I ’ud
fchr’ow away my wuthless life.” He ut
tered the words again monotonously,
fingering the ritle that was held limply
in his shaking hands.
Poor Hue, there was no answering
laughter in her soul now for those
grotesquely sententious word* which.
broke in husky monotone on her hear
inglike a last prayer.
In that moment Dave, who had al
ways been a coward, who had all his

The sixth annual convention of the
Confederate veterans met ‘In Hlch-
mond Tueeday, In tba vast and
gaily decorated auditorium erected for
the purpose at the exposition grounds
in inis city. Intermingled with the
Confederacy colors and battleflags are
the national flags and just above the
presiding officer's seat are two large
star spangled banners. Around the
galleries are the coats of arms of all
the late Confederate generals. Just
above was another tier of banners on
which are inscribed the names of all
the famous battles of the war sod in
termixed with these arb large star
shaped designs bearing the names of
all the famous Confederate generals.
The auditorium, which can seat over
10,U00 people, was uomfortably filled
and presented a handsome appear
ance when at 11 o’clock the arrival of
General John B. Gordon, commander-
in-chief of the Confederate Veterans,
was greeted by cheers and the band
played "Dixie.” He was then present

announced was made from a tree cut on
the battlefield of Chlcamauga. He then
opened the convention by introducing
Chaplain J. W. Jones of the Confeder

impressive and fervid prayer which
was followed by tTie band playing'

It recommended that the history of

for the vindication of its honored dead.
The proposed history should be na

Dave's face blanched to a sallow

inside the door.
"Whatyou gwlne to do?” She asked,
nervously, keeping near her cousin, but
he apparently did not hear. He had

"What you gwine to do, Dave ?" the

several cartridges into the cylinder of
the rifle, and waiting in silence, appa

was garnished by several strong exple
tives and accompanied with more vi
cious pounding.
Then for answer went the spiteful
snap of the rifle followed by a surprised
how! of pain, more voluble profanity
and footsteps in rapid retreat.
Dave went to the window and through
. a knot-hole in the shutter reviewed the
situation of the enemy. Then through

Thursday eae beyoed all doubt the
greatest and grandest day in the histo
ry of the historic city of Itichmood. ft
was the crowning event o
sixth Confederate reunion
all of the living leaders of the wer we
present and when they bad for their
distinguished guest that well known
Union soldier and patriot, Corporal
James Tanner. The three days' meet
ing of over 100,000 Con federates ended
in the laying of the cornerstone of
an imposing monument to bo erected
to the memory of Jefferson Davie, the
Proeident of the Confederate States.
This was what called from the North,
the West, the East and the South every
old Confederate soldier and sympa
thizer.
For four days and over- they came,
thronging in on every line of railroad
until the hospitable city of Hichmond,
with its grand hotels and open doors of
every private house, were so taxed that
the overflow reached the city of Peters
burg and adjoining villages, and filled
their homes with welcome guests. Dur
ing these four days the streets and
houses of public reception here have
been packed by a living mass of Con
federate humanity. The demonstra
tion surpassed all previous events in
t'-- history of the city, and as far as the
crowds present were concerned, over
shadowed all former occasions, when
the South sent her representatives b >
the thousand to honor the memory of
her distinguished leaders and sons in |
the ex-capital of the Southern Confed
eracy.
No sooner than General Gordon had !
announced the adjournmentof the Con-
federato reunion convection sine die
with three expressive raps of bis Chic-
amauga tree gavel, than .thorp was a
rush of the veterans to get into the ap
pointed locations in time to fall into the
line of the procession, which. moved
promptly at 1 o'clock p. m.
Knights Templar, and by the Blacks
burg, Va., cadets.
The lady sponsors and their maids of
honor, roue in separate carriages and
made the brightest feature of the pro
cession. Each sponsor waved the flag
of the State she represented and all of
them were royally cheered as they
passed through the brilliantly decora
ted streets, crowded with •Southern
blooming womanhood and tovliness.
The Society of the Army and Navy
of the Confederate States in the State
of Maryland, escorted by the Fifth

Throe lag a glance backward, be show
ed bow, 31 year* ago, tbe man whose
memory they hed met today to honor,
lay maoncied in a casemate uf a atroeg
ly-garritoaed fur ires*, charged with
the mtst atrocious crime known to
mao -treason abd murder. " And
yet,” he continued, " bo died, by mil-
Iiun* more slnceiely muuroed and
deeply loved than any. other man In
the history of the nation. If his ene
mies had succeeded in putting him to
death ne would have been the mo«t
conspicuous figure in American his
tory.”
Gen. Lee expressed an abiding belief
that when the mists of passion and
prejudice have passed away, . the
calm light of justice wilt givo tbe
right niche to each figure in history
"The descendants, of the men who
burned Joan of Arch,” said he, "now
regard her as a character of heroism
and beauty. The posterity of the men
who hung witches in Salem as a pious
duty, now hear the story with horror.
The descendants of the men who today
look on Jefferson Davis with unkind
expression will see him as we do—,he
stainless gentleman, the gallant sol
dier, tlie devoted patriot, the pure and
gifted statesman.”
Gen. Lee declined to discuss the
causes leading to war. The war had
settled that secession is impracticable
,and the amendments to the conslitd ;
tion have adjusted all other differences.

Lae concluded
euloffiutn of Jeffersou Davis’ pure, pn
vale lltu, hie exquisite courtesy and
gallantry as a soldier, with the declara
tion that his dominant (characteristic
was his fidelity to principle^ It was
well said of him : " He bent to none
but God.” He came among us as a Ho
man born out of time, so long ns he
felt he bad done bis duty conscientious
ly, as be saw it, and he was never for
given. One after another bis great
comrades entered the beyond until he
stood alone, but he never wavered. He
K assed from us a stern and majestic
gure, broken but never bent. Gen
eral Lee quoted from a speech deliver
ed by Mr. Davis in the senate in De
cember, 1860, in which he’declared that
the union was dear to him as a union
of fraternal states. He argued from
this that Mr. Davis was opposed to
disunion, and that at the conference
called by Governor Pettis of Mississ
ippi, of tha representatives in con
gress from tnat State in I860, Mr. Davis
declared himself opposed to secession
as long as the hope of a peaceful rem
edy remaihed.
As a President, the speaker thought,
Mr. Davis may have made mistakes.
He yras a constitutional ruler, not a
revolutionary chief, but when.the night
of defeat was darkening add the dis
mantled ship of the Confederacy was
oinking beneath the-waters, ha atood
at the helm to the last. He referred
to the popular demoostrations of affec
tions which always attended Mr Davis’
appearance in public, and referred
with deep feeling to the occasion when
his remains were en route to Hich
mond for final burial. No conqueror's
march was ever half so triumphant
In the capitals through which it passed,
his body lay(in state, visited by thoi s
ands, .and everywhere aiong the wny
the people, old and young, thronged
and stood with uncovered heads day
and night along Ihc railroads as the
train rolled by, to testify their devo
tion to the dead. It was spontaneous ;
it was universal.
General Lee’s prooration was a
magnificent tribute to Mr. Davis as the
typical southerner.
As a soldier, bis brilliant and prom it
mg career was cut short. He bad m>
opportunity to Jevolop tbe great qual
ities of Lee, tbe prince of oommaader*.
