Opens on September 3. By T. C. HARBAUGH Hats o(T! Here they come to the tap of the drum, A thin and wavrring: line; They stood long ago in the face of the foe, In the shade of the battle-struck pine. There’s many a ridge on their brows, as you see, Their features by Time have been niarr’d; And the ivy is green, with a daisy be tween. On the graves of the gallant Old Guard. And sabred their way thro’ the foi They were stalwart and true In tlielr They were "boys” w’hen they charged on the fort on the hill ■ e fo* in tni garments of blue. In the days of the long, long ago. A stillness comes on and the night nestles down As the diamond dew sparkles the sward. And feebly they march 'neath the star- sprinkled arch— These men of the noble Old Guard. They dream of the battle, the camp, the foray. Of victory, prison and rout; The night will fall fast; it will claim them, at last. And summon to "mustering out.” They hear the wild bugles that blew in the morn. As clear as the notes of a bard; They laugh as they come to the tap of the drum— The remnant of Freedom’s Old Guard. The wind softly blows thro’ their snow- sprinkled hair. As slowly they march down the street: And their step on the grass you may hear as they pass. Not long at a muster they’ll meet. Tramp! Tramp! They are moving In glor ious review 'Neath the flag that Columbia has starr’d; It floats o’er but few in their old, faded blue— The last of the cherished Old Guard. Forget them? No! Never! Columbia kneels. With tears on the velvety sward; And there falls from her hands at AfTec- tlon’s commands A wreath for the deathless Old Guard! Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. Nation Can Never Forget. Once more comes Memorial day, and, while the gallant deeds of our noble young soldiers in the late World war naturally are fresher In our memories, the .sacrifices of our patriotic defend ers in 1861-Cm will not Ue forgotten while the nation endures. Tlie pass ing of those vctenins in blue has been rapid, and it is saddening. Each day sees 100 of these old veterans, and two-thirds us many of their wives, car ried to the grave. For them the end Is not far off; another decade and scarcely a veteran will remain. The ofiicers who led the Union troops averaged several years older than the enlisted men, many of the latter, as is well known, being mere .•<tripl5ngs at their entry into service; and few of the higlier ofiicers of volun teers noAV remain alive.

He always marched in the Jlemorial day parade. The pa rade was much larger than it had been for a number of years back. The men of the World war now marched, too. Richard had always been a very ac tive man, and be had taken part in many a celebration in the towii. By day he sold cigars and cigarettes and fruit at the little stand in front of the snmll house where he and Mrs. Peck- ham bad lived for so many years. Kut at night, o^i, so often, he would dress in his best fireman suit or in bis Civil war uniform as special town con stable. Richard could remember so many yejirs back. He could remember when they had no such fire department as they had now, for example. Now they h:;d a pplendid firehouse too. above which was a clubroom for the fire men. What a magnificent place that was. They subscribed to several magazines, always there were some papers lying about on the great shiny tj*l)le they bad bought for the center of the room—to make it cozy and club like, they had said. How good it was to talk over the old days. There were some of the present men of the fire department who had remembered the old days. How they had pulled the hook and ladder up tlie great surrounding hills! “I remember one cold night,” Rich ard Peckham would begin a tale of former days, and so the story would be continued, a story of fighting against great odds, mighty hills, fright ful cold and w’ater that froze. They hud motors now. The new hook and ladder was new. It w’as a handsome Jiook and ladder. Richard Peckham admired it. Now he w^as merely an honorary member There It Was. of the fire department, but a picture of him hung on the wall in the club and ov^;>* it w’as the word “Kero.” 0!i, yes, Richard I’eckham had had a si)lendid life; useful, brave, and the remembrance of it gave him great happiness. The past was not the past w’ith him. It was the present, too. It was al ways along with him, nudging him, as it were, and saying: "Do you remember so and so?” And then Ric'hard would smile at the th».’jght. He was often smiling at his tlioughts. But since there had been these great Improvements In the fire department they decided that they had no room for the old hook and ladder. • “We’ll have to sell it to the junk man.” they said. “He may give us ten dollars for it.” Richard bad missed that meeting. Wasn’t that just like a lot of young men with no sentiment, no feeling? They would sell that splendid hook and ladder which had been pulled up many a hill and which had saved many a life! It was sacrilege, sheer sacrilege. “The.v’re goin’ to sell the old hook and ladder,” he told Mrs. Peckham the next day. “Yes, ma, they’re goin’ to sell it. I wasn’t at the nieetin’ last night, but I’ve heard how they’ve made all arrangements. If I only had room—” he broke off then, and his eyes filled with teaifs. Mrs. I’eckham knew what it meant to her husband. It was almost something alive to him. Sell it for junk? It would break his heart. Richard Peckham was getting dressed for the Memorial day parade. He was ready ahead of time. He knew that he would be. “Richard,” she came toward him. “before you start for the parade I want you to take a look in the .vard. I’ve a little Memorial day present there for you—a real Memorial day present.” His heart was beating happily, joy ously. as he hurried along. But n<», slie couldn’t have meant that. No one really knew how he loved it except himself. And besides the yard was too small. He had thought of that himself. But there, in the yard, just squeez ing in, as though it knew it was its only chance and had to do it, was the old hook and ladder. There it was and there it would be, not as jank but as having found a home. “Oh, nia; ma.” Richard cried, “I—I —I .just can’t sa.v what I feel !*' Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.
