signing OF the declaration of independ-
ence on that famous Fourth of July in
1870, he said that it was everybodys
duty to celebrate the anniversary of this
great event He meant to give the
girls and bows Of his school Il treat on
the night of the Fourth. lie !::t
bought a lot of fireworks for his chill
dren, and they would be set off on
Playfair hill after eight O'Clock.
Every scholar in the school was invited
to be there to witness the display
every scholar with one exception.
Simeon Shlks, he said, had been an
annoying and disappointing scholar all
the year. He had failed TO learn his
lessons, had been sullcn under reproof,
had wasted the teachers time and dis
tracted his fellow-scholars. Conse-
quently he had recommended that the
trustees should not permit Simeon to
return to the school after the vacation,
and they had agreed to the expulsion.
Certainly they had learned from Mr..
Carver that the boy was not n proper
companion for clever scholars or good
children. And in addition to the dis
grace that he had brought upon Sim
con Sulks Mr.. Carver had another pun
ishmcnt for him, The teacher said that
the boy would not be allowed to come
to Playfair hill on the night of the
Fourth. The fireworks were not for
him. In spite of all the dne speech
about equal rights he was to share none
of the pleasure that would be given his
mates. For the first time he openly
resented the treatment he was receiv-
ing He stood up, his face flaming with
anger and shame, and walked out of
the schoolroom.
On the night of the Fourth all the
children in AmmoRaville, save one,
went up to PlayfA hill. There was
a deal of enthusiasm. The fireworks
were hurried, for a breeze had risen
which portended shower, and the per-
formance must needs be over before
the rain began. While the crowd WAS
on the hill Simeon Sulks came out of
the inn and went slowly down the
road. Under one arm he carried u
bottle wrapped in Il piece of newspaper.
His face was very white, and he was
as profoundly agitated as his nature
permitted. His blood ran sluggishly,
but deep down in his inner conscious
ness had slumbered spirit of revenge,
and tonight, for the first time in his
life, It controlled him. He had reached
a crisis in his history.
He had determined to burn down the
schoolhouse AS he walked along bent
