A Lost Hero

by Herbert Dickinson Ward, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward

Excerpt from A Lost Hero The express from Columbia was due. It was almost nine o'clock on Tues day night, the 31st of August, 1886. It had been a hot day, sultry toward night, and the loungers at the Summerville station were divided between pitying and envying their neighbors on the excursion train. In such weather, home seems either the most intolerable or the most comfortable place in the world.

It was short

It was easy short and touching. A fast before bed time read. I love it with a great ending that!
