CHAPTER IX.
Pursuant to his orders. Major Berrien,
with liis battalion of the Twelfth, hal
U-n scouting the ojien conutry tiiat lay
1 1 'he northeastward of the cantonment.
S ;:larmii; had the situation lieeouie..
iizuificant if not actually defiant
vas the manner of the Indians whos
Ik'os were pitched all over the prairie
around the agency that the command
ins general had caused intreniliments
to"be thrown Tip on every rid-e over
ly .kins that threatened Ktf lenient. Ad
ditional troois. inclndins a strong force
of infantry and detachments f light
artillerc, had been nt to the scene.
lK.tchkiss and field gun were placed in
jnMtion commanding the Indian camp,
and night and day t'ne earthworks were
heavily manned and mttries and out
lets guarded every approach.
Meantime the main boily of the hos
tile was still ffhost dancing and howl
ing through the wintry night f.ir over
to the north among the 1pmL ;:t:d
chasms of the Bad Lauds, xo str.-ngin
uuinliers and so secure fnun assault
within the linis of their nataral fortress
as to laugh to scorn all premonition of
disaster. Banners had gone to every
tribe nrging concerted action and united
revolt. Every day brought nevr acces
sions, and all that was ncciled to enable
them to bid defiance to the em ircling
f.-rce was the arrival of the great 1-auds
that had broken away from the reserva
tion along the Missouri, followers and
v cuM 1 avengers of the old chieftain,
JSitting Bull, who had died in harness, a
rela-1 to the last. Brule and Ogalhilla.
Uuciapa and Minnccocjoa here were
the warriors, re-enforced by many a
i;ew grown son, who had fought the
v.hite soldiers snnuncr after summer,
time and again, in the bloody days of
the decade Jast the Ernies especially,
once restrained bv the wisdom of old
fcintogaliska, iwff rips for any deviitrt-
and well nigh unanimous for war to the
knife.
Without noteworthy incident. Ber
rien's i or.:mand had circled around to
the east of the sacred lines of the reser
vation, had spent a d.ty or two explor
ing the breaks and ravines of a dozen
little streams flowing into the Wakpa
Washtay, had located trail after trail of
travois, pony and lodge pole tracks, had
6conred the wide vallev of the main
stream, but without sight of a singl
warrior, much less a war parry. The
still smoking ruins of two ranches told
however, of recent visitation, and the
hoof marks of cattle mingling with the
jmny tracks pointed unerringly whither
the spoil had been unven. Meantime
vhile nothing could be seen of the wily
red man. every hour gave new proof
that their own movements were chisel v
oliserved. Signal sinokes went puffin,
skyward on almost every side, and the
night sentries declared that twice jus
before dawn of two successive morn
ings they had dimly seen shadowy
horsemen darting over the neighUiring
ridges and had heard the thud of nimble
Hoots. Lven m tne taueu grav ot ii;e
bunch grass, even on the hard fiozen
ground, experienced eyes could find cor
roboration of the story.
Almost in the fitcr of tlic fun mnrt Sioux
ii i rof nr hitizt iJ ehtillcwji:
U.inng Indian econts were ever on
their flanks and front und rear, making
no overt move against them, but keep
ing the hostile camp fully informed of
ov.-rything that was In-ing done and
watching restlessly for opjiortunity to
cut off every straying charger, to cnt
lo'.vu every straggling man. Knowing
ail this full well, Berrien had given
strict orders neither oflicer iior trooper
was permitted to leave the column by
thiy nor the Involute by night; and how
lis luLssiou accomplished, the column
liad started oa return march, and up to
this lime no casualty lir.d (ninmil. So
long as the isolated liattalion was mov
ing toward the hostile camp, nearing
every hour the overwhelming array of
tLe im-iuv and separating itself farther
and farther from friendly stipjiorts, i:o
bar had ln-eu ut to its piogress. B :t

end iu all its broad expanse the" pale
blue vault of the heavens wore not so
much as a feather of vatHir. Who that
rode in the laughing, chatting, janufy
column that sparkling day could realize
the change a few hours might effect on
the silent, breezeless solitudes around
them? At mam the sna was so warm
that many a trooper had stripped off
bis heavy overcoat and turned up tiie
taps of the rough fur cap. Except iu
ccp ravines hardly any snow w.:s to
Le seen. The dull gray surface of liu
rolling irairie. wave after wave, lay

tttonwoods overhanging the frozen
jiools were glistening, sparkling iu the
hfegivtug rays. The advance gr.itrd.
itftcr breaking the ice and treating tlit-ir
horses to a mouthful f water at tli
stream, had moved on at brisk trot, and
liow tlie stalwaj-t rilers were spreading
out iu extended ord.-r as they bn'asted
the siojie. Out ?i the v.t, full five hnn
Ire.l yards, the wary flankers cov.Id lie
seen, some crossing thf streatn farther
down the valley, while other comrades
c;jeired over the barren ridge behind,
that no sneaking foe might crawl np nj
ibs'r. ed and send a long l-ange bullet
from i;s shelter down into the swanu tif
troojx-rs at the ford. So, too, the flank
er to the cast and the sturdy little knot
.f rear guardsmen jnst lppijig up over
the divide so recently crossed, all told c.f
-eas-less vigilance on every side. Bc-r-rieu
has not ridden the Sioux trail a
m ore of years for nothing. He takes no
chano-a where the security of his com
iinmd is eenccrucd. and lias small onin
in of the leader who subjects theia to
needless risk.
And now one after another the four
troops rida into close colaian on the
irthward back; the men dkmouat, un
saddle, and presently, with side lines in
hand, each trooper leading his faithful
steed, the tmr herds are guided to the
eeparate grazing grounds already chosen
ad "pre-empted" by wide awike subol-
i terns or sergeants. ITiere the de linos
j are carefully adjusted, the bridles slipjied
tiff, three or lour men remain in sau
lle as herdguard and the horses are
left to graze. Rich with nutriment is
that crisp, dry bunch grasp rich and
plentiful. The mules of the pack train
bray with impatience to shed their loads
and join their envied four footed com
rades, but presently they, too, follow
ing the belL are streaming out upon
the guarded prairie, rolling in luxury
upon the fro6tv earth and kicking their
legs in air in genuine delight. From a
dozen little fires among the bare limbed
cottonwoods the thin 6iuoke is curling
aloft, and the rattle of tin cup and plate
and the jovial voices of the men seem
to clamor for their soldier rations. In
long rows the saddles and equipments
were aligned upon the turf, each man's
carbine and belt at his saddle. Huge
rolls of robes and blankets are unstrap
ped and spread to air, and all this time,
while the troop officers are looking to
the comfort and security of their horses,
Major Berrien, followed by a single or
derly, is riding about from point to
point to satisfy himself that the guards
are stationed where best they can se
cure the bivouac against surprise.
The ridge to the southwest is higher
than those which limit the view at other
points, and thither Berrien is now riding
at easy lope. Rolfe and Ilazlett, watch
ing him for a nioiueut, exchange an ap
preciative nod as they hear from the
group of soldiers at the nearest camp
fire some brawny son of the old 6od re
mark, "Just luck at the ould man now;
sure it's a smart redskin that will ever
get through the pickets he posts." Not
since the days of old "Major Slowtrot,"
old "Pap" Thomas, has there been a
battalion commander better loved by
the rank Mid file. They know nothing
will ever induce him to forget one pre
caution for their safety, and reward his
care with a loyalty of devotion good to
see. Watching him still further, Ilaz
lett notes that a distant vedette has sig
naled, and that Berrien, slowly now, is
riding up the slope to join him. A ser
geant has some question to ask at the
moment, and when Ilazlett again looks
out to the southwest, major, orderly and
vedette have disappeared from view
around a little shoulder of bluff. Other
vedettes can be seen at their itsts on all
bides, and a few dismounted sentries
lying prone where, unseen themselves,
they can scan the country to their front.
But Hazlett's curiosity is excit.nl by the
fact that two men. mere specks in the
distance, are huddling together at the
crest half a mile away to the southwest
and evidently watching something out
at their front and motioning to the ser
geant back with the supports. Presently
this troojier, too, trots out to join them.
Berrien and his party are still out of
sight from camp.
"Captain, may I borrow your field
glasses?" asked Mr. B-ewvter, swinging
up to the fire where Hazlett stands. "I
have leut mine to the sergeant of the
guard."
"Did you see where the major went?"
asks Ilazlett by way of reply, as he
hands the desired instrument.
"I last saw him at the jtoint yonder.
He rode around it with Sergeant Ellis
and a couple of men, and that vedette
must have been calling to him. It
seeui3 to me they've been gone somo
time; so Gorhani says I can ride out and
find out what it means."
"I'd go with you, Brewster, but my
horse is out at herd. Take the glasses
with yon, anyhow." Brewster's big
black is led up r.t the moment, and the
lieutenant quickly mounts and canters
easily away.
Meantime, old Berrien, who has noted
the signals of the vedette referred to,
has joined him, with the brief inquiry,
"What is it, Scott'
Why, sir, I was posted here by the
sergeant, tnd he had no sooner gone
than I saw what I took to be horsemen
in the valley several mih-s out yonder to
the sonthwest. The major can see the
whole conntry from a buttc tliat lies
perhajis three hundred yards farther out
beyond this ridge. But here comes the
sergeant back, sir."
It is Ellis, cantering briskly from the
advanced iiosition Scott has designated,
and coming to them now around tha
shoulder of the bluff a little to the right.
That Ellis has seen something is evi
dent; his face shows it in an instant.
"An Indian war party, major, per
haps a dozen, rode from behind a long
ridge over to the west and down into
the ralley of what I take to lo a branch
of the Porcupine. That bntto hides a
good deal of the valley; but we can see
it from there, though."
Yon three men come with me." says
Berrien quietlv. "We must look into
this."
Two minutes' lops brings them to the
butte Ellis has tainted out. Leaving
their horses with the orderly. Berrien,
the sergeant and the sentinel go crouch
ing r.p the hither slojie, throw thetn
lelvea on the ground and crawl to the
jummit. As he vedette has said, the

the v.ild Indian land spreads lief ore their
yes. Close at hand, tumbling, billowy
and abrupt, the ridges follow or inter
cept one another in rapid succession.
The face of the land is cut up into tor
tuous "breaks." the deep, narrow lieds
of countless little streams, all winding
tributary to the river that flows placidly
n way to the northeast ii the broad val
ley from which the column marched at
dawn. Beyond that, west of north,

gtiostly shade under the slanting rayscf

ices, and broad, yawning, impassable
gulfs, the storied Bad Lands of Dakota,
shunned ly all except the renegade and
outlaw in the past, now habitable only
by the Indian. Beyond these, faint and
Oiiu in the distance, the snow covered,
pine crested summits in the Black Hills.
All the rest of the surface, east, west
and south, a frozen sea of gray, glinting
here and there in the declining rays; and
there off to the southwest, iierhaj five
miles away, lies the valley into which
the jtarty of dusky warriors has gal
loped so short a time before the valley
beyond which, a long, long day's march
away, stands the guarded camp of com
rade soldiery awaiting their return.
Berrien studies the scene long and care
fully through his glasses. Intermediate
ridges are not many, but they are 6harp
and cleai j v defined.
"Who was It reported that the ad
vance saw signal smokes aouth t.f ns at
noon?" Le asks.
'Cortionil Waite, sir; he and two of
t!if. men saw them jduiuly, and they
scented to lie answered off here." And
Ellis iiuts miles away to the west,
Berrien ponders a moujeiit.
"Where away would yon locate tho
agency, sergeant, if yoa were going to
take a bee line for it: '
"Out off here, sir."
"And they crossed that line going into
the vallev?"
"They certainly did, sir, and Look,
major! look yonder! Another band,
and from exactly the same place."
A little bevy of dark objivts darts
suddenly into view from behind a cui-
tamlike divide and goes skimming over
a level stretch toward the lowlands cf
the valley. Berrien's glasses set in gl acd
to his eyes.
Twenty of them in that p3rtv! What
do they see? What'a their hurry? They
would not expose themselves to our
view unless there were urgent need for
haste."
The old road cones in from that di
rection, air," answers Ellis. "We left it
a few hours out from the cantonment.
as yoa remember. Can anything hava
been 6een along that road to give rise to
signal smokes?" j
Berrien turns half over .nnd look
keen! v into the sergeant's intelligent
face.
"That rtiad has been abandoned for
weeks iwst. Evervbodv to the east of
ns has taken refuge at the railway long
since. Nobody would be coming from
that direction."
"I know that, sir; but would not any
detachment coming from the agency to
meet lis, for instance, be apt to keep
the road? I understood we were to
strike for it in the morning and follow
it in."
Again Berrien gazes long and earnest
ly through the binocular. "They are
certainly heading for that road and
riding at lull speed. How many men
have you at this front?" he quickly
asks.
"Jurt eight, sir, all told, but eight
more are almost within call over on
onr left flank. Yonder is the ridge
where my men are iiosted.' And Ellis
points to their left rear where lies the
low crest.
"Just keep a good lookout here, ser
geant. I will move them over this way
and then ride to the left flank. My
horse, orderlv." And, thinking deeply
over the matter as he rides, Berrien
spurs into a lively canter across an in
tervening dip in the prairie. "Some
mischief ahead," he mutters. "They
are not speeding up that valley for noth
ing. We may have to saddle and get
over there.
Not two hundred yards has he ridden
when from the point which he lias just
quitted there comes a sudden yell of
warning, followed almost instantly by
two shots in quick succession. Then
bang! bang! another two, and, as he
whirls about, the first object that meets
his 6 tart led gaze is Ellis' handsome black
horse plunging to earth almost at the
edge of a shallow ravine some distance
out in front of the butte.
"My God, sir," cries the orderly, "Ser
geant Ellis is killed!"
Berrien's heart bounds. There, face
downward upon the sward, motionless,
just a few feet away from the plunging,
death stricken horse, lies the sergeant,
his carbine dropjied from his nerveless
hand. At the 6ame instant red, glitter
ing, bedaubed with paint, bespangled
with cheap finery, two young Indian
braves lash their ionies into furious gal
lop as the- shoot up out of the shallow
ravine, and rifles in hand, coupsticks
advanced, race madly toward the strick
en trooper in eager effort to secure the
trophy of their prowess, the coveted
scalp of the fallen foe.
"Your carbine, man!" yells Berrien to
his orderly. "Quick! Shoot that lead
er!" And putting spurs to his snorting
horse, reckless of the fact that he is
armed only with revol -er and that the
ravine may be full of Indians, the vet
eran soldier drives full tilt at the charg
ing braves. He thinks only of the fact
that one of his men lies prostrate and
helpless before them. They are almost
njion Ellis before Berrien has galloped a
rod. They are within twenty paces of
him when, with a shout of delight, the
major sees him whirl suddenly over,
grasp his carbine, and, all in a second,
the flame leaps from the bronzed muz
zle, the foremost warrior drops his
rifle, whirls up a .clinching, convulsive
hand and topples headforemost out of
tlie saddle. Scott, the vedette, echoes
with another shot that kicks up the dust
close under the second pony's flashing
heels. Its red rider veers in broad circle
to the right, and in the twinkling of an
eve the feathered war Ixmnet bows low
over the pony's stretching neck. Ber
rien's bullet whizzes harmlessly above,
and the major hiinsvlf, borne by the
rush of his half maddened steed, dashes
on past Ellis, now kneeling for another
6hot, r.nd goes crash into the midst of a
little knot of yelling warriors just
bounding up out of tho guily to the res
cue of their stricken comrade. "Bess,
my wife; Winnie," are the only words
be has time or thought to mutter, for
instant death seems inevitable.
But all the old fighting instinct is up
permost, End almost in the face of the
foremost Sioux his revolver blazes its
challenge, and horse and jiony meet in
tremendous shock, and the lighter bteed
goes tumbling and rolling over the turf.
There is chorus of yells, shots, soldier
cheers, thundering hoots. Inere is a
vision of glittering steel in front of his
eyes, of hideous painted face, a sudden
sense of stumble and stunning fall, a
shrill whoop of triumph, changing in
stantly into the death cry, and while Lis
Brule antagonist goes crashing down.

superb leap of a big black charger over

head in his strong young arms, and the
voice that thundered in battle cry but

"We've got t woof them, sir, all right,"

Whisky From S a jar Beets.
The vast yield of sugar K-ets in Ne
braska and the inability of farmers to
disjKwe of tlie vast quantity as rapidly
as convenient bus provoked soioe pecu
liar violations of the revenue laws. A
still has been captured in Sherman
county from whie'j whisky was being
niTide from the lieets. The quality was
good, an l fears are entertained by reve
nue olliciuls that others will engage in
the luinos. Sherman county is one

friiii remarks made by ini in that
neighborhood, llcbcetune nnxiousto

t ie start by tlie fact that those who
kuew anything a!ut it were inclined
to shield the operator and protect him
fr :u the officers. After some time a
person volunteered the information
that the operator used sugar beets from
which to manufacture tle spirits, nnd
t ie still was soon located. The outfit
w.is ail made of oopjier, of approved
pattern, r.nd was iu good condition.
Tae still had a capacity of fifty gallons

The popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Iicmcdy and the high esteem
in which it is held leads us to believe
it ti W an article of great worth and
merit. We have the pleasure of giving
the exjKTieiicc of three prominent

u-ieof the remedy. Mr. A. V- Trud. ll
says: "I have always received prompt
relief when I used Chamlierlain's

Calling' a Bog by Telephone.
An intelligent hunting dog, who had
strayed away, was found iu New Hart
ford, Conn., recently, and the finder
notified the dog's owner In Winsted.
Tlie New Hartford man called up the

the voice, and set up a barking which
showed his joy.
Entitled to Confidence.
Mr. G. W. Ilen ford, druggist, should
have the confidence of this community;
his calling is one of responsibility;
very often precious lives are entrusted
to his care; taking the agency for sell

be a guarantee, it will do all that is
claimed for it, and no remedy excels it
for the quick cure of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Sprains and all bodily pain.

What Sid He Mean!
Two young gentlemen met in one o"
the Pittsburg parks, according to the
Cfironiclc Ttlrgrth. One of them

"Ah, good rooming, Mr. llelleficld,"
said the proud father. "Now, isn't
that a pretty baby?"
"It is indeed," said Mr. li. llefleld.
"I have never seeu your wife, but I

It is a Good Thing.
I say this for Pan-Tina: I have been
in the drug business many years, and
this is one of the niot successful
Cough remedies I have sold. A ease

Care for Headache.
As a rjmetly for all forms of Head
ache Electric Ritters has proved to be
the very best. It effects a permanent
cure and the most dreaded habitual
sick headaches yield to its influence.
We urge all who are afflicted to procure
bottle, and give this remedy a fair
trial. In cases of habitual constipation
Electric Ritters cures by giving the
needed tone to the Imwels, and few
cases long resist the use of this medi

Proper School Age.
Commenting cn the age at which a
child should be sent to school one
mother savs :
'After an experience of fifty terms
as a teacher, covering all grades, from
the alphahetariaii to the classical stu
dent, I venture to suggest that no child
should be sent to any public school lie
fore it is 7 years of age."
"Could I make sure that they would
be so taught as to not need rejietition
would have no child in school under
10 years of age. would ijot suffer my
own chad to receive a diploma of
graduation from the high school at 17
nor the university at 21. It were better
to add four years more as the limit of
either." JVctr lor World.

A ZHattcr of Lazine83.
President W. P. Fowler, of the Ron
ton Industrial Aid Society, deflares
that, with few cxcf-ption, men w ho
are Idle now are so from choice, for
there Is a great abundance of work on
every side, and it is sometime difiicull
to get men and women to till the places
offered to the wiciety. Many uri un
willing to p Into the country ; others
want "soft" jolis, and still others tie
sire something ditfeTcnt from that
offend them. The man or woman
who is ready to take hold of anything
honorable that oilers itself is the ex
ception, and this, after the experience
derived from the hard times oflSii.1-4,
seems unreasonable. Mr. Fowler says
that it is the shiftless and improvident
people who are still complaining of
lack of work and consequent iovcrty.
A Significant Departure.
With the departure of another jear
when a review is made of the condition
of affairs, it is only right that some
thought le given to the physical body
which enables every one to battle with
life's problem and figure for them
selves the profit or loss on the trial
balance sheet. Though tho lank fi"
cosiiit may lie large and c:teh one's
material gain be great, il would no be
surprising if it suddenly dawn.-j i:pni j

The Match Went Throtpb.
A pretty young gir'. rcti-nrng fr.
her summer holidays in Euro;-, met
on the steamer a wealthy inid.lie - aed
eoitinatriot. who was much struck villi
her vivacity and charm
Hj seeiutvi,
for some reason or another, a little de
pressed, and the pretty American set
herself the task of enlivening him. ik
fore the statue of Lilierty was sighted,
the slightly depressed mid . He-aged gen
tleman had proposed marriage, :-nd
was accepted. Rut while missy -us
arguing with the Custom House Ul
cers over her finery, she was horr
to hear her fiance paying duty o
coffin. The depressed elderly ge
mail, as a matter of fact, was carr
over the remains of his first wit . r
burial. Rut the settlements wer. t ..
eellent, and the vivacious young I u;y
married him.
The Wolf and the Shepherd.
A wolf, finding that the sheep were
so afraid of him that he could not get
ne:;r to thetn, disguised himself iu tli"
dress of a shepherd, which he hl'd
fro.n a c;sti!nu r, an I, thus attired, nj
proaehe'd the Ibx-k. As h eirie near,
he found tlie shepherd fast asleep. As
the sheep did not run away, he ro-olv-cd
to imitate the voice of the shep
herd. In trying to do so he howled so
violently that the shepherd awoke.
The shepherd was very angry, lie
cause he had lieen out late the night
l.ef. re and needed sleep; so he fell upon
the wolf and smote him sorely.
Moral: When you see a c'.iaiiCr to

Truth.
(ieo. W. JciikiiiS, ciiitor of the Sarst.
Maria "Times," Cal., in sjieaklng of
the various ailments of children said:
"When my children have croup then
is only one patent medicine that I ever
use, ami that is Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It j.ossesses some medical
projKTties that relieve the little suf
ferers immediately. It is, in my opin
ion, the best cough medicine in the
market." If this remedy is freely
given as soon as the croupy cough j
jKars it will prevent the attack. It is
also an ideal remedy for whooping
cough. There is no danger In giving
it to children, as it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by Reiiford's

'Tae Sunday Headache.
According to human nature explain
ed, the "Sunday headache," the regu
lar stereotyped excuse for not attending
church on Sunday morning, is not
altogether an imaginary affliction
instituted by the selfish proiieiisitie-s to
apjieasc the demands of conscience. It
is, rather, often the result of the ad
ditional Sunday morning nap In an
unventilated bedroom, where the oxy
gen has lieen completely exhausted
during the night, so that the extra
hour's rest is really an hour more in
the stupefying, poisonous gas. Xnv

A Woman of Nerve.
It was Mrs. James Kirnochau who,'
all alone one night iu her country
house, save for servants on the top
floor, caught a glimjise over the tran
som of her liedroom door of a familiar
face. He watched her as she counted
a roll of bills drawn that day from the
bank to pay her house-hold expenses,
but she continued to make up her ac
counts, contriving to a:ilx a mark on
every bill, and the whole sum, amoun
ting to several hundred dollars, she
put carelessly ia her desk drawer, blew
out her light, got into be-d and heard
very distinctly hen the theft was
made. Ry 11 o'clock the next morn
ing both thief and bit) were returned,
and in this instance quiet acquiescence
had undoubtedly savesl the lady'
life. Chittiytt l!e-orl.

Aphorisms.
Some cf the sins whose eonsenueiices
are visited upon us most cruelly are
sins most naturally, and most fondly,
committed.
Most men, however limited their
imaginations, are prone to ideulie
themselves; for self-idealization, iu
some degree, is necessary to preserve
many of us from self-contempt.
Complaint is a confession of failure.
The hopeful are never unfortunate.
Whatever adversity the past may have
brought them, their present is untroub
led; their future is always radiant.
The chief objection to the charity
that Ix-gins at home is its extreme
domesticity, which prevents it from
calling on any of its neighbors.
To the man lucky enough to git a
sujierior wife tlie average woman is apt
to lie insipid, if not tiresome.
Man is a lover by instinct, a husband
through reason, a bachelor from cal
culation. Our grief for the dead is often but
unconscious remorse for the unhap-
j pinoss we have caused llieni win e
Jiving.
The tWiiest wound to our love may
-,. , irvt.!.',uv l.ctded by a salve pre-
M.,iu l f-r our vanity.

.,..s.,..ls t ttK:r oYfcuse.
Most men are fools a'tout wonvn; but
lio man is tpiite so great a fd as be
who is sure that he knows all alx ut
them.
A e-nt may look at a king and if
she loves liiin, she is privileged to
scratch him.
The choievst flowers of rhetoric often
grow in the most sterile soil of the
heart.
It is as hard not to forgive a man we
have hated, when he is dead, as it is to
love a man who hates us, w hile alive.
Junius Henri Rrowue in the Decem
ber Century.
