a mile farther down the valley. and in~
quire for the mail.
The boy knew his mother to be quite
an anxious as he that the trip should be
made to the poctoilioc. For more than a
week hie daily visit after the mail had
been fruitless. and he was certain she
was worrying. in spite of her usual air
of checrfulness. for the head of the lit-
tle family was at the front. wearing a
blue uniform. and vague rumors were
afloat of a bloody battle in Pennsylva-
nia. ‘
Singularly onorl‘gh. the mail had latc-
ly failed to bring newspapers. as well as
letters. and it had not been possible to
borrow from the neighbors as usual. The
boy and his mother had not talked much
on the matter; but. whatever his mother
thought. he suspected bad news in the
papers-«news that would explain why
there were no letters. He was impatient
to go to tho postoiilcc. but he dreaded
the visit. too. and this made him climb
down the ladder slowly when at last
the pull was filled for the third time.
As his feet touched the earth he heard
the rattle oi wheels. and looking around
he saw Deacon Nelson's big hay horse
and decent black democrat wagon. driven
by the deacon hinmelf.‘ draw near. The
deacon's countenance.‘ which was gen-
erally smiling and jelly, was very sol-
emu now. and the face of tho dcacou's
wife. who sat on the back seat under a

gingham parasol. was tear stained. As
the deacon slowly got out of the wagon
and tethered the horse he asked, with a
fine show of checrfulncss:
“Has your mother board from the
older in a day or two. John? No? Woll.
Marthy and mo was just driving by. and
we thought wo‘d makoalittlo visit. you
see. just to ask how your corn crop was
getting on. you know.” Thou. to his
wife in an undertone. he said: “Now,
be ourcfal, Marthy. It's all right; it's
all right. It must be all right. I tell
you. "
Tho deacon was one of the chief pil-
lars in the church of which the boy's fa-
ther. before going to the front. had been
pastor. and. like all in that noighborhood
and similar ncighborhomls. tho deacon
always spoke of his minister as "tho
elder. ” This minister had been out-
spoken in his patriotism during the first
year of tho war. During tho second he
had induced many of the neighborhood’s
ablchoiiod men to enlist. Early in the
third he had himself marched away as
thoir captain. with tho young men from
his own congregation who had offered
themselves to their country. If the boy
was doubtful about his father‘s safoiy
bolero tho deacon spoko. ho was not aft.
erward. It accrued in his yonngmind as
if the deacon has said Iivtwocu his audi.
blo words:
“Tho older is killed. boy! Do you
hear? Killedl"
John harried into tho house with his
pail of cherries, kissed his mother and
started on a run for the postoflloo. It
was a hot day. but he did not mind tho
boat. It is’douhtfnl if ho know it was
hot. 110 thought only of the barn possi-
bility that he might get a letter address-
ed to his mother or himself in his fa-
ther’s dour handwriting. and he ran till
nntnro Was exhausted and ho had to
stop and rest under the shadow of a big
bnltcnball tree by tho side of the road.
When he had regained his breath. he
started on again, but this time at a
more moderate pace, and as he no
preached the little general store wine
the postoillcc was kept his footsteps
lagged. lie was afraid he would receive
the same answer that ho had for days.
“Nothing today, sonny. Tell your
mother the papers missed this week.
No. there is no letter. I swan. I wish
there was. "
That was just the answer the boy did
receive when at last he crept into the
store between rows of two tined hay-
forlrs and wooden hand rakes. but there
was this addition by the kindly old post-
master to the dreaded words that told
the story of no mail: . .
"Tell your mother that we may get
another mail today, and if we do we'll
send anything that comes for you right
up. '
There was no regular service to the
little postomce, for no railroad ran
through the narrow valley, but the mail
was brought from the county seat. ll
miles distant. at intervals by any one
who want that way. .

one of the men hastily stuck a newspa-
por. from which he had boon reading to
tho others. into his pocket.
In tho iitilo parlor of the whito house
there wore several women younger than
Deacon Nelson's wife. 'l'hcir husbands
were soldiers, too, and at thofrout with
the preacher. The boy's inot‘hcl‘ was sit~
ting in the center of a circle of knnoling
women. her eyes set and tcarlcss, but
there was a sound of subdued sobbing
from some of the others. Tho deacon
was just beginning a prayer.
“Dom Lord, our heavenly Father."
qnnvcred tho deacon in tender and rur-
orent tones. Then he stopped. What
was that?
