When Wiliiam Boyce settled at Creston, a quiet little Missourl town, he found himself aggrieved and em- bittered to an extent that soured in him all the milk of human kindness. during the Civil war. He was still a stanch, loyal son of the Southland. Long since, however, he had buried all the old dead issues. At the town where he had last lived for over twenty years, on Decoration day he had marched side by side with his old battle foes in amity. But now— A meddlesome busybody within a week after his arrival in the new town had repeated some idle gossip. It was to the effect that Morton Ball, an old Union soldler, had been overheard saying: “Captain of the Fifteenth Ten- nessee, eh? I have a friend who knew them like a book.” Then the scandal monger missed part of a sentence, but caught its final words: “We gave it to them at Mission Ford.” Now Mission Ford was a sore spot with Captain Boyce, and his friends never mentioned the name. At Mis- sion Ford the Union boys had, indeed, ‘“given it” to their adversaries. Never had there been a worse rout, with a capture of one-half a regiment at the end of it, “Gave it to us at Mission Ford, did they?” repeated the fiery southerner wrathfully. “I'll never forget that mean taunt. We gave it to them quite “I Saved This for You.” as rough on many an occasion. This Ball fellow is in poor business, raking | up a dead and buried business like that. I shall cut him dead on all oc- casions.” | Bluff, whole-hearted Morton Ball marveled at being coldly, almost in- sultingly repelled when he attempted to be neighborly to the new arrival in town. Boyce declined to join the Blue and Gray club. He would not even attend the church where the Balls went. His wife acquired his of- fense and tabooed Mrs, Ball in her social invitations. Then there came up a discussion in the local newspaper over some pros posed improvement which Ball warmly favored. Naturally Captain Boyce opposed it and the bitterness grew, On Decoration day Boyce and his family visited the local cemetery apart from the marchers. A Confed- erate general was buried there and they did due homage to his memory. Captain Boyce took with him his most dearly prized memento—the torn, shot- riddled flag of the intrepid Fifteenth Tennessee. He loyally mingled with it the folds of the national stars and stripes, but all his talk of the day was of the heroic deeds of his dead war comrades. That faded, tattered Confederate flag was guarded jealously in its sanc- tuary at the Boyce home. The little room where it was draped and cher- ished was a temple of memory, of ardent devotion to a lost ideal. There began a social rivalry with Ball now on the part of Captain Boyce. He emulated the society life of the Balls. They had a piano. He immedi- ately purchased one, too, Boyce had lost his left arm in the war. Ball had lost his right arm. “Father,” said the captain’ day, “I hear that ) 1 to play a tune on the piano n one s learned “H'm!

The front upper part of the struc- ture was smoking. Suddenly one end burst into flames. Edgar Ball came up at that moment. . "Hurry for the fire department,” or- " dered his father, and he himself hur- ried to the front door of the imperiled house, broke in the door and rushed up the stairs, He had heard all about the treasured | flag of his neighbor and where it was | kept. A thougzht heroic had come into . his mind. He dashed into a room | where it was festconed on the wall, ! almost overcome by smoke and the flames. Gently he removed it, carefully he carried it to his own home and re- turned to the fire to help in saving the greater part of the building.

Ball laughed. “Why, captain,” he sald, “what I was saying about Mission Ford was that we gave you back that flag, be- cause of your known valor.” “Is that so?” cried Boyce. “Well, here's my hand, the only one I've got, and my heart goes with it. I'll be at the Grand Army hall next meeting,” “All right,” returned Mr. Ball heart- ily, “and you'll play ‘Dixle’ and I'll play ‘Marching Through Georgia,’ and then we’ll have a duet of the two grand tunes at the same time!” (Copyright, 1914, by W.
