Gordon.

the young man, rubbing hie hand

Halting at the closet door, the skel
eton waved Its adieu and disappeared
within. Gordon sat in his chair, deej
in thought, while his cigar burned It
self out between his Angers.
At last he got up and shook his broad
boulders as though freeing himself of
a disagreeable burden.
"Society has dared me," he mutter
ed, "but I know my heart now, and
I'll do as I please!"
After Harry Gordon and Amy Hep

brought his bride upstairs to his old

"My dear," ha said, "I have a confes

week in September, to find each other.
The most complete system of registra
tion ever adopted will be used, so that
the comrades are sure of meeting and
falling into each other a arms. By tne
syBtem, a man may find where an old
friend Is located In a few minutes, and
this will be of the greatest importance
to the veteran who comes to the city
a stranger and alone. He may nave
been in the city before, but he will now
want to meet some of the men who
were with him during his campaigns.
Well, he'll find It easy to do this. What
this man wants to know is what are
the special Inducements for him to
come to Philadelphia.
He can get the information he needs
without any loss of time. The way that
is to be accomplished is this: The
Registration Committee, of which Har
ry L. Neall Is the head, have arranged
7000 receptacles, designating regiments,
war vessels, etc.. giving accommoda
tions for 150,000 names.
What is wanted now is this: There
are about 10.000 comrades In Philadel
phia and 2500 In Camden, who are
members of Posts and whose Regis
tration will be obtained through the
Post Adjutants. There are 2000 com
rades ln the two cities who are not
members of the Grand Army of the Re
public, and they will also be regis
tered, so that their old friends may be
able to find them. Their names should
be sent to the Headquarters of the G.
A. R., Fifth and Chestnut Streets, or
to the Registration Committee, Room
I. City Hall.
The comrade will thus find a Recep
tion Committee aggregating fourteen
thousand resident comrades, each of
them ready and anxiously waiting to
greet his old army associates. What
that greeting will be. and what kindly
attention will be shown the stranger,
can only be known and appreciated by
one who has performed a soldier's duty
in time of war. and who has formed a
soldier's friendship.
The General Committee are exerting
every effort to accomplish this end and
the Registration committee are ousy
registering the names of those who will
be in attendance.
The plan pursued Is to correspond
with the organization, whether Posts
or regimental associations', which have
signified their intention of coming to
the Encampment, ana rorwaramg io
them sufficient cards at least ten days
before the opening of the Encamp
ment. The difficulty will, however, be
to get the names of those who will
come.
The plan to be pursued outside of the
city is to correspond with the organi
zations, whether Posts or regimental
associations, which have signified their
Intention of coming to the Encamp
ment, and forwarding- to them suffi
cient cords at least ten days before the
opening of the Encampment. The dif
ficulty will be to get the names of
those who will come Individually, and
every comrade who reads this article
should make up his mind that the nec
essary part of his coming here is to
be registered, or he win lose nair tne
pleasures to be enjoved.
Comrades, a royai welcome awaits
you.

Bureau of Information will be In Broad
