FORWARD—MARCH!
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!” [Music:
“_Here Sir!_”
Words by E. W. HOWSON. Music by EATON FANING.
Allegro moderato. ♩= 112.
CHORUS.
Like an an-cient ri-ver flow-ing
From the mountain to the sea, So we fol-low
[Music:
com-ing, go-ing To the wid-er
Life to be—On our course From the source
To the wi-der Life to be!
]
[Music:
Here sir! Here sir! Here sir! Here sir!
On the top of Har-row Hill, Here sir! Here sir!
Here sir! Here sir! In the wind-y yard at Bill.

PUBLICATIONS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
A SCORE OF FAMOUS COMPOSERS. By NATHAN HASKELL DOLE, formerly musical
editor of the Philadelphia _Press_ and _Evening Bulletin_. With
portraits of Beethoven, Wagner, Liszt, Haydn, etc. 12mo, $1.50.
No pains have been spared to make this volume of musical biographies
accurate, and at the same time entertaining. Many quaint and curious
details have been found in out-of-the-way German or Italian sources.
Beginning with Palestrina, “the Prince of Music,” concerning whose life
many interesting discoveries have been recently made, and ending with
Wagner, the twenty Composers, while in the majority of German origin,
still embrace representatives of England and Italy, Hungary and Russia,
of France and Poland. Free from pedantry and technicalities, simple and
straightforward in style, these sketches aim above all to acquaint the

sufficiently detailed descriptions of the chief labors of these
statesmen, and the young reader will find them stirring and stimulating,
full of anecdotes and bright sayings.

(Mrs. Croly). A book for girls. 12mo, $1.25.

shows in her practical, common-sense way, what chances there are open to
young women, when the necessity comes for self-support. The wise,

dramatic interest, a photographic touch, and a fine moral tone. It ought
to be a favorite with many girls.
WAR STORIES BY WARREN LEE GOSS.
RECOLLECTIONS OF A PRIVATE. A Story of the Army of the Potomac. 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._

During a recent visit abroad, Mrs. Bolton had the opportunity of
visiting many of the scenes made memorable by the residence or writings
of the best known English authors, and the incidents which she was thus

Translated from the Russian of Count L. N. TOLSTOI by Nathan Haskell

such as any healthy lad, or girl either for that matter, will feel heart
warm toward. The simple incidents and amusements of the village where
they live are invested with a peculiar charm through the hearty and
sympathetic style in which the book is written. It is a book quite
worthy of Miss Alcott’s pen.
