  The next evening the Wilders were gathered on the steps of Old Flemming. It had been a hurried, confused day, for the morning had been devoted to departing friends, and the afternoon to packing, since they were to leave Flemming Hall early the next morning. Now all was done, and they had gone down from their forlorn, dismantled rooms, to enjoy the still, warm night. “I believe this has been an unusually moony commencement,” said Louis thoughtfully, as he watched the white light on the lawn and buildings before him. “It most certainly has,” responded Leon fervently, while he stepped on Alex’s toe, under cover of the shadow around them. “I wish we could be as lucky, next year,” said Stanley. “Most likely we shall have a rainy week, to make up for this.” “Never mind if we do,” said Max consolingly. “We don’t need the help of the weather, as this year’s fellows do. We can stand on our own merits.” “What are you all going to do, this summer?” asked Paul. “Our plans are only just made,” Harry answered, as he took off his cap and ran his fingers through his hair. “We’ve been so unsettled since father’s death that we haven’t known what to do. Mother didn’t feel as if she could go back to the old place in Lenox this summer, so we’re all going abroad for the season. Jolliest of all, Alex is going with us.” “Alex! Why didn’t you tell me, old fellow?” asked Stanley, turning to his friend. “I only knew it myself yesterday,” Alex answered; “and it didn’t seem worth while to discuss an uncertainty.” “I wish I could go too,” sighed Jack enviously. “Where shall you go, Hal?” “England, mostly. Leon and I both want to go to Eton and Harrow-on-the-Hill and Rugby, and see the places it tells about in Tom Brown. Mother and Dot care for the Cathedral towns, and then we shall take in France and Germany. We shall have to be back by the time college opens, so we can’t do much. It won’t make much difference if Leon is a week or so late, coming back here. Lieutenant Wilde has just decided to go over on the steamer with us, so we shall have quite a party, just by ourselves. Where are you going to be, Paul?” “Home, through July; then Jack and I are going camping in the Adirondacks for a month.” “What a mixed-up set we’ll be, in a year or two!” remarked Jack. “When we’re scattered through all the different colleges, we shall come back here as rivals, to fight our battles. If you go to Columbia, Paul, and Alex and Hal to Harvard, and I to Cornell, that’s something of a break up. Where shall you go, Max?” “Yale, every time,” responded Max promptly. “Louis?” “I’m not sure yet; but most likely Yale. Father is a Yale man and he wants me to follow in his footsteps. What do you do, Stan?” “I’m going to Cornell for the electrical engineering,” replied Stanley. “Give me the red and white for my colors!” “We’ll be patriotic, at least, with our red, white and blue,” said Max, laughing. “We sha’n’t have any stripes, though, for we’re every one of us bound to be stars.” “Gyp has been in her element this afternoon,” observed Harry, after a pause. “She’s been wandering back and forth between our room and Louis’s, with Mouse in her arms, offering all manner of suggestions to help us in our packing. She wanted me to give Mouse the sash of my tennis suit for a parting gift, and was quite disgusted when I refused to bestow it on her.” “Mouse came near being a dead cat this afternoon, though,” said Louis. “I had my trunk all shut and locked once; but I heard a dismal, lonesome little noise inside, so I suspected something was wrong, and went on an exploring expedition. There was Mouse, carefully put to bed in the deepest box of my trunk-tray, on top of all my collars and cuffs. Gyp had stowed her away in there and forgotten all about her, till I rooted her out. She was so distressed, that I gave her that little old lambswool rug of mine, and sent her off home, to put Mouse to bed.” “Mouse is getting old,” remarked Alex; “and I’m afraid that, if we come back here next June, there won’t be any Mouse to welcome us.” “She ought to be perfect through suffering, long before this,” said Leon. “With the best intentions in life, Gyp has tormented the very hair off her head. I don’t know what she will do, when Mouse dies.” “Do you know,” said Paul reflectively; “I believe this has been the jolliest year we have had. I shouldn’t have been half so sorry to leave Flemming, a year ago, as I am now. We nine boys have had uncommonly good times together.” “Especially after the football game,” suggested Leon maliciously. “You did get rather the worst of that, Leon; but then, you did by far the best work on our side, and I’d be content to make such a record as you did, on almost any terms,” said Jack admiringly. “But do any of you lads know what Bony is going to do, next year?” “I’m afraid he’s getting ready to leave,” said Max regretfully. “I’m no end sorry, for now I know him, I like him. He’s a good man, through and through, and it will be a long time before we get anybody to fill his place.” “That’s true,” assented Louis; “but it took us long enough to discover it.” “I told you, in the first place, he was like an olive,” retorted Max. “He’s puckery, the first you get of him; but if you keep at him, you’ll want more and more. I do wish he’d stay another year, to finish us off.” Just as he spoke, the boys caught sight of two figures coming up the hill from the doctor’s house. “Is it a farewell-session of the Wilders?” called Irving Wilde’s voice. “Yes, and we only need you to fill up the number, you and Mr. Boniface,” said Alex, as he moved to give them a place on the steps beside him. “We were just talking about you, Mr. Boniface, wondering if you were to be here another year, or not.” “And devoutly hoping you were,” added Max. Mr. Boniface turned to him gratefully. “Thank you, Max,” he answered. “I don’t really know, myself. I had expected to go away at the end of this term, to finish up my studies; but the doctor is urging me to stay at least one more year. If I thought I could do good work here and be of any help to you boys, perhaps—”, he hesitated, then went on; “but whatever comes, I know that I shall be better through all my life, for having come to know and care for my boys, here at Flemming Hall.” Lieutenant Wilde broke in upon the pause that followed. “Well, Leon,” he asked; “what do they say to your news?” “He hasn’t told it yet,” interposed Harry. “He’s been waiting till he could have the floor, and make his announcement with proper effect. Go it now, Leon; we’re ready.” “What’s up with Leon?” asked Max curiously. “Tremendous honors are showered upon the infant,” answered Harry. “Speak and tell us, Leon.” Leon laughed; but even in the moonlight, the boys could see the quick color come into his cheeks, and his voice trembled a little with excitement, as he said,— “You fellows all remember Captain Curtis, Lieutenant Wilde’s friend that was here in March. He knew daddy, and after daddy died, he wrote to us. I answered the letter, and since then he’s written to me three or four times. Last Saturday I had another letter from him, and he’s offered to get me in at West Point, when I’m old enough.” “What!” And Max started up eagerly. “Yes, isn’t it fine? He has a cousin that’s congressman from Pennsylvania, and their district will have a vacancy the summer after I’m seventeen. Captain Curtis says he can get me the appointment, if I want it. Daddy would have been willing, I know, so, if nothing happens, seven years from now, I shall be Lieutenant Arnold, of the United States Army. Don’t you all envy me, though?” And Leon smiled complacently around at the group. “Just my luck!” sighed Max. “Another fellow is always sure to get the blessings I deserve. Why couldn’t Captain Curtis have taken a liking to me? Still, I’m no end glad you have it, Leon, for it’s just the thing for you.” For an hour longer they sat there, now talking, now silently watching the moonlight as it lay caressingly over the doctor’s house, and over their little group as they lingered on the piazza, where they had so often sat before. It was far past their usual bed-time, yet no one of the boys made the move towards going into the house. The next morning would end it all, so why not prolong the evening as far as they might? But, little by little, the light talk of past frolics and future hopes and plans had died away, and they sat there quiet. Perhaps they were growing sleepy; perhaps they were thinking of the morrow, and of the days and years to come. Then, all at once, Leon’s clear, high soprano voice took up the air of one of the Harrow songs which Lieutenant Wilde had brought back to them after a vacation tour to England. It was a song that the boys knew and loved, both for itself, and for that vague feeling of romance which overhangs all that pertains to life at an English public school. Often and often had they sung it together, when driving, or rowing on the lake, or when, as now, they sat on the Old Flemming steps; but never had it meant to them all that it did to-night, on the eve of their parting. One after another, the boys joined in the chorus, until the sound swelled on and upward, as if to carry out to the waiting world their promise for their future lives:— “Like an ancient river flowing From the mountain to the sea, So we follow, coming, going To the wider life to be. On our course, From the source To the wider life to be. “Is it naught, our long procession, Father, brother, friend and son, As we step in quick succession, Cap and pass and hurry on? One and all At the call, Cap and pass and hurry on? “One by one, and as they name us, Forth we go from boyhood’s rule, Sworn to be renowned and famous, For the honor of the school, True as steel In our zeal For the honor of the school. “So to-day—and oh! if ever Duty’s voice is ringing clear, Bidding men to brave endeavour, Be our answer, ‘We are here.’ Come what will, Good or ill, Be our answer, ‘We are here.’” Clear and true, the last notes lingered upon the air, and then slowly died away into the stillness of the summer night. Then Jack Howard’s voice led off in one parting cheer:— “Rah! F. L. E. M. M. I. N. G.! Fszt! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!” Reprinted in America by permission of Mr. Eaton Faning, music NEW BOOKS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. TOM CLIFTON; OR, WESTERN BOYS IN GRANT AND SHERMAN’S ARMY.

By Warren Lee Goss, author of “Jed.” With over 80 illustrations by Chapin and Shelton. Royal 8vo. Cloth, $3.25; seal russia, $4.25; half morocco, $5.00. Among the many books about the Civil War there is none which more clearly describes what took place among the rank and file of the Union Army, while on the march or on the battle-field, than the story given by Mr. Goss in this volume. It is one of the handsomest, as well as one of the most valuable works in American war literature.—Boston Globe. No volume of war history has given the reader more graphic descriptions of army life.... The writer speaks from knowledge and not from theory.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. From General Rosecrans, Register of Treasury Treasury Department, Register’s Office. Washington, D.C., Sept. 24, 1890. ... It may seem strange, but it is true, that I have had comparatively little time to devote to war literature, but I derived much pleasure from the perusal of this book. Its raciness of style, accuracy of statement, and often pathos of the story, so much interested me that I devoted a whole evening to it. It is all the more pleasant because from my own knowledge, I believe it to be a fair representation of the spirit of that great body of patriotic men, the private soldiers of the Union Army; and I hope it may be largely read, not only by old soldiers, but also by other citizens, young and old. Yours truly, W. S. Rosecrans. JED. A Boy’s Adventures in the Army of 1861-’65. A Story of Battle and Prison, of Peril and Escape. By Warren Lee Goss, author of “The Soldier’s Story of his Captivity at Andersonville and other Prisons,” “The Recollections of a Private” (in the Century War Series). Fully illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. In this story the author has aimed to furnish true pictures of scenes in the great Civil War, and not to produce sensational effects. The incidents of the book are real ones, drawn largely from the writer’s personal experiences and observations as a soldier of the Union during that war. The descriptions of life in the Southern prisons are especially graphic. It is one of the best war stories ever written. Boys will read it with avidity. Of all the many stories of the Civil War that have been published it is not possible to mention one which for sturdy realism, intensity of interest, and range of narrative can compare with Jed.—Boston Beacon. A book that every boy in the country will want to read the moment he sees it, and it is as instructive as entertaining.—Brooklyn Union. A thrilling story of bravery, endurance, and final success.—Boston Home Journal. For sale by all Booksellers. Complete Catalogue sent to any address upon application.
