(Copyright, 1B1T, Irrlag Bkctaeller)
Just below me Is the valley of Eter
nal silence. You will understand my
haste now. I have sought only to do
Justice to my friend and to give my
country a name, long neglected, but
equal In glory to those of Washington
and Lincoln.
Come, let us take one last look to
gether down the road we have trav
eled, now dim In the evening shad
ows. Scattered along It are the little
houses of the poor of which I have
written. See the lights In the win
dows—the lights that are shining into
the souls of the young—the eager,
open, expectant, welcoming souls of
the young—and the light carries many
things, but best of all a respect for the
old, unchanging way of the compass.
After all that Is the end and aim of
the whole matter—believe me.
My life has lengthened Into these
days when most of our tasks are ac
complished by machinery. We try to
make men by the thousand, In vast
educational machines, and no longer
by the one as of old. It was the lov
ing. forgiving, forbearing, patient,
ceaseless toll of mother and father on
the tender soul of childhood which
quickened that Inextinguishable sense
of responsibility to God aud man in
these people whom I now leave to the
Judgment of my countrymen.
I have lived to see the ancient plan
of kingcraft, for self-protection, com
ing back into the world. It demadds
that the will and conscience of every
Individual shall be regulated aud con
trolled by some conceited prince,
backed by an army. It cannot fail, I
foresee, to accomplish such devasta
tion in the human spirit as shall Im
peril th* dearest possession of man.
If one is to follow the compass he
can have but one king—his God.
I ••••••
1 I am near the end. I rode back to
Baltimore that forenoon. They had
nominated Mr. Polk of Tennesse for
president and Silas Wright for vice
president, the latter by acclamation. I
knew that Wright would decline the
honor, as he did.
I hurried northward to keep my ap
pointment with Sallly. The boats were
elowed by fog. At Albany I was a day
behind my schedule. I should have
only an hour's leeway If the boats on
the upper lakes and the stage from
Plattsburg were on time. I feared to
trust them. So I caught the west
bound train and reached Utlca three
hours late. There I bought a good
horse and hl9 saddle and bridle and
hurried up the north road. When he
was near spent I traded him for a well
knit Morgan mare up In the little vil
lage of Sandy Creek. Oh, I knew a
good horse as well as the next man
and a better one than she I never
owned—never. I was back in my sad
dle at six In the afternoon and stopped
for feed and an hour's rest at nine and
rode on through the night. I reached
the hamlet of Itichville soon after day
break aud »ut out for a rest of two
hours. I could tal^e it easy then. At
seven o'clock the mare aud I started
again, well fed and eager to go on.
It was a summer morning that short
ens the road—even that of the young
lover. Its air was sweet with the
breath of the meadows. The daisies
and the clover and thj cornflowers
and the wild roses seemed to be wav
ing a welcome to me, and the thorn
trees—shapely ornament of my native
hills—were In blossom. A cloud of
pigeons swept across the blue deep
above my head. The great choir of
the fields sang to me—bobolinks, song
sparrows, meadowlarks, bluebirds,
warblers, wrens, and far away In the
edge of a spruce thicket I heard the
flute of the white-throated sparrow.
I bathed ut a brook in the woods
and put on a clean silk shirt and tie
out of my saddlebags. I rode slowly
then to the edge of the village of Can
ton and turned at the bridge and took
the river road, although I had time to
spare. How my heart was beating as
I neared the familiar scene! The
river slowed Its paee there, like a dis
cerning traveler, to enjoy the beauty
of Its shores. Smooth and silent was
the water and In it were the blue of
the sky and the feathery shadow-splrcs
of cedar and tamarack and the reflect
ed blossoms of Iris and meadow rue.
It was a lovely scene.
There was the pine, but where was
my lady? I dismounted and tied my
mare and looked at my watch. It
lacked twenty minutes to eleven. She
would come—I had no doubt of It. I
washed my hands and face and neck
In the cool water. Suddenly I heard
a voice I knew singing: "Barney
Leave the Girls Alone." I turned and
saw—your mother, my son. (These
last lines were dictated to his son.)
She was In the stern of a birch canoe,
all dressed in white with roses in her
hair. I raised my hat and she threw
a kiss at me. Old Kate sat In the bow
waylnjs hex .handkerchief. They
stopped and Sally asked in a tone 01
playful seriousness:
"Young man, why have you come
here?"
"To get you," I answered.
"What do you want of me?" She
was looking at her face In the water.
"I want to marry you," I answered
bravely.
"Then you may help me ashore If
; you please. I um In my best, white
"Then You May Help Me Ashore, If
You Please."
slippers and you are to be very care
ful."
Beautiful! She was the spirit of
the fields of June then and always.
I helped her ashore and held her In
my arms and, you know, the Hps have
a way of speaking then In the old, con
vincing, final argument of love. They
left no doubt in our hearts, my son.
"When do you wish to marry me?"
she whispered.
"As soon as possible, but my pay is
only sixty dollars a month now."
"We shall make It do," she an
swered. "My mother and father and
your aunt and unci.' and the Hackets
and the minister nn>! :i ntmher of onr
friends are coming In a lieet 01! boats."
"We are prepared either for a picnic
or a wedding." was the whisper of
Kate.
"Let's make it both," I proposed to
Sally.
"Surely there couldn't be a better
place than here under the big pine—
lfs so smooth and soft and shady,"
said she.
"N'or could there be a better day or
better company," I urged, for I was
not sure that she would agree.
The boats came along. Sally and I
waved a welcome from the bank and
she merrily proclaimed:
"It's to be a wedding."
Then a cheer from the boats, In
which I Joined.
I sh:ill never forget how, when the
Compuuy had landed and the greetings
were over. Uncle I'eabody approached
your mother and said:
"Say. Sally, I'm goin' to plant a kiss
on both o' them red cheeks o' yours,
an' do It deliberate, too."
lie did it and so did Aunt Deel and
old Kate, and I think that, next to
your mother and me, they were the
happiest people at the wedding.
There Is a lonely grave up in the
hills—that of the stranger who died
long ago on Rattleroud. One day I
found old Kate sitting beside it and on
4 stone lately erected there wad the
name, Enoch Rone.
"It is very sorrowful," she whis
pered. "He was trying to find me
when he died."
We walked on in silence while I re
plied the circumstances. How strange
that those tales of Mood and lawless
daring which Kate had given to Amos
Srtmshaw had led to the slaying of
fter own son! Yet, so it happened,
and the did wives will tell you the
Jtory up there In the hills.
The play ends just as the night is
'ailing with Kate and me entering the
little home, so familiar now. where she
tlves and is ever welcome with Aunt
Deel and Uncle Peabody. The latter
neets us at the door and is saying in a
:heerful voice:
"Corae in to supper, you rovers.
Sow solemn ye look! Say. if you ex
)ect Sally and me to do all the laughin'
iere you're mistaken. There's a lot of
t to be done right now, an' it's time
