the
flag-enshrouded form, lying among lilies before the Speaker's Chair, in
the Virginia Hall of Delegates, in the Capitol of the Confederacy. All

A man of the Stonewall Brigade, pausing his moment before the dead
leader, first bent, then lifted his head. He was a scout, a blonde
soldier, tall and strong, with a quiet, studious face and sea-blue eyes.
He looked now at the vaulted roof as though he saw instead the sky. He
spoke in a controlled, determined voice. "What Stonewall Jackson always
said was just this: _'Press forward!'_" He passed on.

Presently in line came a private soldier of A. P. Hill's, a young man
like a beautiful athlete from a frieze, an athlete who was also a

Others passed, and then there came an artilleryman, a gunner of the
Horse Artillery. Grey-eyed, broad-browed, he stood his moment and gazed
upon the dead soldier among the lilies. "Hooker yet upon the
Rappahannock," he said. "We must have him across the Potomac, and we
must ourselves invade Pennsylvania."

JOHN WINTERBOURNE'S FAMILY
