the almos: torrid day dragged through
to its close, and the loungers began to
wonder what had become of Bud and
his promised exhibition. They fingered
on until the lights began to CLINT here
and there in the windows, and just az
they had abandoned the hope OF seeing
-':Buds circus" they were brought UP
standing by the rush Of something
down the main street, that to their
startled senses resembled a six-tailed
fiery comet with skyrocket attach
'ments on q rampage.
1t was only Bud. Yes, no mistake
about that; and such spectacle they
never had witnessed. He was astride a
wildly charging steer to whose long
horns were tied couple of tall stream.
ing flags and at whose tail hung a
huge bunch OF exploding frecrackers
while from end to end the frenzied
creature was. bedecked with streamers
Of red, white and blue. Bud himself
was a sight to behold. His face was
s1reaked "a la redskin) with red, white
and blue, a dozen small flags were
stuck round his hatband and in each
hard was monster Roman candle
belching forth balls of variegated fire
at every jump of the maddened animal
he bestrode.
Through the town the blazing appari-
ton streaked it, accompanied by the
unearthly yells of its moving spirit and
urged on by the fusillade of pistol shots
and cries which it's appearance had
awakened. But, alas, there was chaos
lurking in the cleaning. Into the
open doorway of neat little cottage
at turn in the road the jubilant Bud
was cast headlong, and away to it's ma
tive heath bolted his terrified steed.
And the worst Of all was that the chap
fallen fellow was deposited in q
tangled mass at the feet of the only
girl in the world whose love he cared
to win.
Bud made his escape and was not
seen in town for several days, and
when he did show up he sported q patch
on his face and limp, and when inter
rogated concerning his great Fourth of
July celebration with great vehemence
he calculated: "Oh, come off" But
he got the girl all right.

II there was q wilder specimen Of
reckless, tough-hided humanity in the
world than Bud Bradley, the residents
of the sandy, sun-dried little western
town of Lovelocks didn't know it.
Everybody knew Bud like town pump,
and they all declared they didn't know
any good of him; but this was said more
in good-natured spirit than from any
Ill will they bore him, for he was known
to be, like most of his class, full of fun
and generous to fault.
When Bud was in town the town gen.
orally knew it. There was sure to be
q cloud of dust sailing around in his
wake. He was ever on the move, and
when he moved the earth trembled-
that is to limited extent-and it came
to be saying among the people of that
region when any disturbance was afoot:
Its either a stampede of cattle or Bud
Bradley's broke loose again" Some OF
the quietly disposed members Of the lit

fellow would get q lesson some day that
would tone him down Q triAe and give
their nerves rest.
And he got it. .......... ....,

and Bud was not only jolted nearly to
Q jelly, but he was mortified beyond

sane efforts to fttlngly celebrate the
anniversary of our national independ.
ence according to his preconceived no
ton.
Such a thing as a Fourth Of July cele.
bration was never thought Of in that
part of the country; it was too faz
away from civilization. There were
firearms and firewater enough, but
fireworks were not to be had without
sending abroad for them. The COW.
boys sometimes had what they termed
q little ''fiareup," a sort of Bacchanalian
revel with gun-play trimmings, but
this kind of demonstration was toe
tame for Bud, and he made up his mind
to Introduce q change in the pro
gramme, and some days beforehand hi
laid his plans and warned the boys K
be on the watch, for there was going *

coming Fourth as would cause thu
