i T was thr first of" May; and tha
annual reunion or tne uonrea-;
erate yeterans waa being held
In Atlanta. It was the gala
week of the year.' v Every, town" and
city In the south Bent Its official repre-
sentatlTes : and ; its ' maids r ...of honor.
The hotels were crowded and the streets,
thronged" with an incongruous multi
tude wearing badges of TibboBv Soathv
rn generals and their, wives And daugh
ters were holding gay receptions. Ev
erybody -was welcome; hands were ex
tended to people from the north as well
as from the south.' Shouts. filled the
air when the carriage ot an ex-Conf ed
erate officer passed through the streets..
Thi - bands Waved "Dixie," -' Men,
scarred and maimed, stood on the street
fcoraers and- iix the bars and hotels and
told war stories and sarig the -praises
of Robert E. Lee -and Stonewall Jaekr
son. . All was mirth And- good feeling.
From the public buildings;" the clubs,
hotels and carriages floatedr the .Amer
ican flag. It hung everywhere, but It
was never applauded and jet never
hissed. It .was beautiful to look upon
and stood forpeace, ' patriotism;; and
prosperity The -- southerners . would
have admitted this, and; y et there was
another beauty idearer : to their weary
memory & beauty for which they.had
fought grimly and lost Cv , -.
Mrs. Cranston, Lydia and Kitty Cos
by were visiting the Dunleighs, a Vir
ginia family who lived in one of the
best houses in Peachtree street; George
Buckley ? was in the city, but he had
gone only -to attend to the work or in
specting the books of a broker who
handled considerable grain, and cotton
fox the Darley house.-'"" -
tTh broker. Mr. Harry Stone, -was a
young man of high social-standing in
Atlanta; and he .had formed a strong
friendahio for George and extended the
hospitality of the "beat club in. the place
to himand offered to. Jntroauce mm
to his- friends, ; but .George, refrained
from acceptlngC"He was too- fine a
man to feel at ease in" general, society
so earlv after his father's disgrace, and
Stone understood this and did not press
tnose tnmgs upon mm. - ;
"I see you've got some stunning girjf
"up your ;-way,"Astone remarked as
George sat at a desk inthe corner- of
the room "checking up" the books:
i "if a rannrtpd down here that our gov
ernor runs up that way every charfce

leighs, and I guess I'll meet her while
she's here. You know her, of course?'
"Yes, we are friends,' " George said
simply. ,
'"I've never- seen her," said the
broker, "but, Judging from her picture,
ho must to crood. lookmtr. - tioweveri
one can't tell about that. The pictures
in the newspapers" are always bad."
"In the newspapers?" said George, to
surprise.' ' . S -
"Why, yes; tar In Toth the papers

reception: the governor la giving: to her
and her party at the mansion-tonight,

but he snarls like m possum ;when we
meet now. He can't forget an injury.
Did you ever see him?" -..."Oh,
yes," said George. "Hes been

"Oh, ot course; I'd .forgotten," They

blood running cold, his heart sinking.
" "Why, the reception, you know. That
looks a little like she's giving in, don't
you "think? But L may be dead wrong.
She may want to make that friend of

Never had '.the burden of his birth felt
so heavy, never had he so keenly long
ed for the -unattainable. He "was in
the lowest dregs of despair; be had be
gun to pity himself. '" Everybody " else
was ' having a holiday;" no holiday
could come to. him. while his own fa

law. while. the only-things he craved
were" eluding, his grasp., - "3 -v -;
A Uttle : warmth came to 'his -cold
heart over .the thought... that .. Lydla

then striving philosophically to put him
out of her life.?-That striving had be
gun with the acceptance or tne recep

be the formal announcement of her en
gagement; to the governor, and" then
she -would begin to look upon Telfare
as her future husband. - George stifled

He wanted to give the driver warning,
but it was too later The wheel was
