to be termed cur iositydropped out of her conscious ness as frowning she turned on the light above her dressing table it was all very well for frank to be cheerful it did not matter much where a hoy was he seems always able to find enough to amuse him but a girl eunice though of ojjthe interests that now filled her life school with music and folk dancing and french with m petti just a con genial little class 7 her club her best friends the firstaid classes that all the girls in her set belonged to the parties and city jollities there was not one the equivalent of which she could bo sure of finding in the country school there woulof be school of a sort an academy father called- it a country school what else eunice h ner shoulders and regarded the slim modish figure in the glass pityingly of what use was it to bo pretty if you were burled in a hole in the ground of what use to wear clothes that looked as clothes should look in the country she should grow hopelessly dowdy and how- she loved the city h rush and bustle its dangr and hurry of downtown its brilliant windows its flowen stands why she even lovpd its pavements and polfceinen when she thought of leaving the city a hot lump came into her throat and a fierce dislike of fields and woods and aolltudo rose within her that howover she eaid to herself heroically oat she braided her hair was no reason for being disagreeable it the rest of the family were pleased but she would not be a hypocrite she would go to the farm with the others and endure until sometime sometime something should set her free the most exacting family could ask no more when the marbury gave up their apartment and quitted the city eunice shed a few tears although sho had determined to go dryeyed tho girls in the french class bought her a big bunch of violets and cried oyer her had it been only a summer vacation chat she waa called upon to spend within the walls of tho big square old house sheltered j beautiful elms eunice might have voted it a delight and a treasure it was just tho sort of house to make picturesque talk about when at the end of a long va cation you returned to the haunts of y6ur friends but as it was nothing pleased her jielther thq quaint land scape paper in the hall nor the long- legged new colt in the box stall she did not make herself disagreeable she was merely patently bored it was somewhat lonely being bored when everyone else in the family was so interested thoy ran about making discoveries and calling to one another to come and ee frank eunice real ized at once was going to be as daf fy as father about the farm mother the girl watched with furtive hopeful ness but no mother was not sham ming when mother came in singing with theugg basket in her hand eu nices last hope died when had she ever heftrd mother singing in broad daylight she tr1ed to be glad that mother was hmppy but somehow the knowledge only made her own heart hefcvtefc did anyone- ever find judiths leg acy f irrandraother asked one day tho house since judith went away said- aunt jane though its a hun dred years really it isnt very strange when you come to think about it that nothing hoe over been found just exactly what did judith say mother questioned i havo heard ttu story in at least threo versions- no one looked at eunice curled up with a book in the corner perhaps they did not know thnt she was there eunice thought the book was not very thrilling she sat with it open before her and hstenod well 1 know tho right one said grandmother x had it from judiths sister aunt mehltubel said that juat as judith wont out of tho door on her young husbands arm and he looking us proud as a king the bride turned and kissed her hand to tho houso that had been tho homo of her girlhood aunt mehltabot stood so neat sho could hear every word although jud ith spoko low and the young folks were laughing nnd peltng her with flowers at the time goad- bye dear old home judith said take good care of my httlo ghosttn aunt mehk abel told me that nferewards she rote and aaked vjudlth what she had meant hut what with the difficulty of getting letters through and the bust ness of settling u frontier home jud ith never answered her question before judith balled with her hus band for europe the first time he was minister to russia you know thoy spent a night in the old home and mehttabel aeked her again tho two were talking on their way tojfted judith had her candle all ready to tight judith looked pusxled a minute and then she laughed and then she blushed and then she laughed again q hltty she said i am afraid you will be plagued the day i was mar ried i hd a little ghost of my girlhood where i hope another girl will some day find it not all your houseclean- ings will search it out hltty at that she laughed again not a bit hko a great officials lady and she blew another kiss from her finger tips to the girl that finds my little ghost sho said and lighted her candle and ran off like a girl herself to her hus band eunice had not turned a page of her book during grandmothers story but not toxworlds would she have asked one of the questions that burned on the tip of her tongue how i wish remarked aunt grace wistfully that 1 were sixteen iwere not either of us said apnt jane so its no good wishing and we didnt live here when we were girls weve lost our chance grace that is judith over the davenport isnt it i like better the portrait in the hall she is the grande dame here said mother in the portrait in the hall she is just a girl aunt mehltabel said it was exactly like her remarked grandmother as she looked before she was married even to the necklaco that she always wore after her marriage she nevef had it on at least mehltabel neve saw it i think ill go and stir up those cookies now lucy presently fou yranrtmothpja as i look back i see my days have been murvctously happy shalthey be ns happy afterwards sornetlme unother girl will live here whore 1 have lived to her i leave my dearest treasure may sho be as happy as i i wih1i you good night little book- say adieu forever to judith marbury i leave her my dearest treasuro why had 4ho words sounded so vague nnd general whenever she had read them before now eunice saw clear ly thut they could mean only one think tho necklace tho necklace that the pretty judith had cherished but that she had never been seenj to wear after her wedding the motv sho thought of it the more certain eh became that that solution waa right j somewhere- in tho houso great great great aunt judiths necklace was hidden but that she knew what she was looking or did not seem to help her in the least tajlnd it it was when eunice had told her- elf for the twentieth time that she should never find it that mother motto her proposal eunice she said quite casually one morning in september aunt evelyn wants you to spend the winter with her in new york mother cried eunice brcath- icbaty mother smiled a little wistfully you would like that wouldnt you dear i think we can spare you if you wish to go eunice plroutted out into the hall op joyous feet taxis und skyscrapers and tho girls again oh jolly tin eblng back to the city she laughed pausing under judiths portrait for some reason after that aho walked ratherly soberly upstairs in the days that followed her grand mother and her aunts thought eunice very dilatory in her preparations for going she spent a good deal of time in the garden and the barn and tho at tic she took long tramps through the country she sccmedunaccount- ablyjess enthusiastic than anyone had oxpected i believe the child needs a tonic said her grandmother you dont think sho is sick do you cried mother perhaps in tho morning id better ask the doctor to stop ip in the morning the doctor received no such summons for that was the night that judiths portrait fell it dropped without warning while the marburys were at supper time said father and a worn cord frank got their first with eunice a close second it waa eunice who lifted the frame tho canvas foil out against her dress she isnt hurt she cried she isnt hurtl and then eunice made a discovery the picture had had double boards at the back and between the boards had been an air space and in the air space the girl gave a little cry her the prize pie mra- fingers closed on something wrapped miss myra looked over at the farmer in curious foreign tissue she did noi j na j called from the field need to open it to know what the fab- bxsldo the road it is she said two judges have already pronounced it well now thats good he replied but i aint surprised example they all scattered without once glancing at eunice the girl stared at the pictured lady over the davenport thenhe sauntered into the halt the face that looked out of the dim old frame was blithe and bewitch ing full of triumphant youth the necklace of curiously wrought stones that clasped the slender throat had been painstaking rendered one white hand fingered- the trinket lovingly as eunice looked a queer little flutter stirred the sedate organ that she call ed her heart a hundred years and now now there was again a srtrl in the old house well what of it nothing to get excited about surely she yawned with deliberate bravado in the face of the picture and took her way toward the cookies but grandmothers story she found was not to be so summarily dismissed it kept insinuating- itself into her mind at the oddest moments every little while she caught herself wonder ing where the blithe judith had hid den the ghost of her girlhood for that other girl to arid before she was aware she found herselfstudyias the house from the point of view of pos sible bidding places what form had the little ghost taken 7 why jt might be anything anything and while her curiosity stretched itself she kept saying that it did not matter that she did not really care furtively she began the search it started with the attic eunice put it to herself that since the houso had an attlo she xnigh as well see what was in it she found treasurers in plenty chests and boxes and trunks of treas urers but nothing that seemed la any way connected with the spirited jud 1th r- rlc held her mind was as clear on that point as it was when the quaintly wrought stones actually lay in her cupped nalma judiths necklace exclaimed aunt grace eunice you lucky girl so that was the little ghost said grandmother eunice said nothing the eyes of the portrait seemed to smile at her she felt exactly as if the girl on the canvas had held out to her that deli cate hand with the atones in it she felt something else too a conviction that suddenly set her restless thoughts quite curiously at peace but it was not until bedtime that night that she sought her mother mother she asked earnestly dhould you mind much if i didnt go to aunt evelyns why eunice dear aald mrs mar jmry what do you not dlckr i ahull be if i go ill be homesick i i cant bear to go away i love it so here miss

course she could not stop although every day she told her self that she would stop as soon as she had looked in one place more she conducted her search very quietly she was almost ashamed to be searching at all and then one day she cameroon a and it could not be ihe little ghost for tt was not really hidden at allr below- the topmost papers in a box of old letters she found it the girl judiths diary eunice sat down on tho floor beside a dusty spinning wheel and read ih y el lowed pages through from tho first flourishing cap ital to the last round period of the faded copybook script then she took the little book to her room the darling she murmured undei her breath the darling after that eunice studied tho farm from the point of view of her groat great great aunts diary not that she consciously set out to do bo but phrases kept reourrlngr to her mind she liked to read a little in judiths diary every day judith had chroni cled the advent of a family of little pigs with as many flourishes as she accorded to the visit of gen lafayette judith had found the first violet under the new lilac hedge there were violet leaves now under the row of strang ling old lilacs at the end of

sister pretended not to seeji but frank forbore to tease and eunice found it easier to let sleeping dogs he than to explain the unexplalnnble if onlyehe could cap ture the little ghont then sho could drop the house and farm from the centre of her attention with a clear conscience frank would see then how muoh her interest had really meant but she could not and the tutlo ghost and neither could she

turppfl the uut pages of the diary toinorrowv m thv delicate pal feorft i go- out to hew world rver it is well to keep one day sacred to common memory and a common grief not that after all these bitter years any living man or woman can ever lose either the constant sense of vast struggles and vast sacrifices will go with us to our graves but the vary poignancy of recollection makes us hide it commonly in a corner of our heart makes us meet others dally with different faces as if we wero trying to forget or disregard and is right apd wine that once in the year at least we should make our mourning public should recognise as a commun ity the hugeness of our loss and tho unutterable depths of gratitude that the survivors feel towards those who gave all they had and gave it gladly moreover aa we set apart one day for the past because of necessity tho other days are buy with the future the best way to reraamber is to forget the noblest memorial we can offer to those who gave their lives for their country is to devote our lives and thoughts with passionate ardor to mak ing a country lor which all men may bo proud to die sad memories arc fruitless except a on everfertile soli in which to plant ths blossom of hope and do we not hope that out of the long toll and wretched deprivation and cruel suffering of the millions who were slaughtered there mayun toe end come to a bctjter and brighter life for alt mankind f there must be lessons to be leaxaed for generations and gener ation to come lessons of splendid courage lessons of unconquerable de votion to duty lessons of limitless heroic sacrifice therefore we give one day to reversal thought of what is mortal that all our days may be given with higher cheefulness to tbo immortal for which they died and foi which we must live what is mortal is fear hate wrath bitterness and sorrow what is immortal is superb hope and effort of humanity for light and lovo and freedom and wide com munity joy a new use for
