1t had to be Imported" Johnnie
asked good and tried friend of his on
the freight train bound for New York to
get it for him. During the next week
Johnnie's imagination worked so hard
that he seemed TO think his friend would
return standing, like the Goddess of
Liberty, on the freight car, holding
aloft whole sunset and sunrise c !
light. Silly Johnnie was so carried
away by his fancy that he received a
real shock when, on the day before the
Fourth, Jim tossed him only a small
package as the train slowly passed his
house, calling out gayly: open your
mouth and catch your light"
Johnnie ran indoors in a state of great
excitement and showed his treasure 70
his mother, who rejoiced with him in his
happiness.
That night, Just after he had blown
out his candle, Johnnie was looking out
of his window trying TO decide whether
the morrow would be fine or not. There
was something in the air he did not
like, and he saw that storm was com
ing. The moon was shining, but there
was a certain stiffness in the warm
wind. The little river was running more
swiftly than usual.
However, Johnnie could not feel that
the Fourth would be unpleasant and
he began TO think what he should do
with his red light, and the splendid idea
came to him to build a small raft and
set the light on it, and then send 1t
floating down the river. In fancy he
could see il going its course, shining
brightly and lighting up the trees on
the opposite bank. And how surprised
the little fish would be to find the river
turning red! He wished he could see
the fishes with their mouths wide open
staring at his light-the little fish who
didn't know anything about the Fourth.
Johnnie did not need TO be so patroniz-
ing in his feeling toward the fishes, for
he himself did not know much more
about the Fourth than that people
always shot off frecrackers on that
day. lie was glad he had not gotten a
green light, for it wouldn't make much
contrast with the night, which is dark
green. Then, as the water looks green
anyway TO the fishes 0t must, for 1t
looks so TO people on land), why, they
wouldn't be much surprised to see the
river simply lightening-they would
think II was morning. But think of the
exquisite shock 10 each flshy heart TO
be awakened by burst of rubiness
overhead Johnnie's head was sinking
lower and lower on the window sill and
his thoughts were getting very fan
tastic, as you see. Rousing himself, he
slipped into his little bed and then put
his hand up under the cool pillow to
tonch-the red light Think of 1.-THE

The wind, as Johnnie's senses were
being stolen by the sandman, was in
creasing, and there was distinct smell
Of rain in the air. The hoy opened his
eyes and looked out Of the window.
The wind seemed 10 be blowing the lit
tie fy-away sailboat Of moon over the
green sky at dashing rate. Johnnie
thought the moon was a boat--I am not
making him think so--and as he closed
his eyes he wished be were in the boat
and wondered IL be should be able to
hold the sheet Of the golden sail ia such
a gale, and then be fell fast asleep.
1t seemed to him that he had been
sailing for some time when there was a
stopping of all things, and he awoke
with a start. II was at that s5lemn
hour just before dawn. Johnnie crept
to the window TO see il there was now
a promise of fair day. The storm had
ceased, but it must have been a furious
one, for the firm little bridge that Mr..
Duckworth had built over the river a
few steps from the house was broken.
Johnnie could plainly see the wreck in
the clear night. just then he heard a
sound, a sound as big as a sigh, way,
way off. 1t was the Canadian express
whistling for a switch at the junction.
The boy waited at the window to see il
90 by. Suddenly a thought flashed into
his mind and his heart stopped beating.
He slipped into his clothes in a twink
ling and stole quickly downstairs and
quietly out of the door. then scuttled
over the plain TO the place where the
little river fell over the crest of a slight
hill and then dashed under the railroad
bridge. AS Johnnie thought might be
the case, the bridge was as much of a
wreck as the little one was. The rails
were twisted and lay like jackstraws
among the jumbled wood. Johnnie
heard the distant sigh again, and his
heart beat wildly. What could he dof
In few minutes the express would

"or it is fact at least familiar to all fond
parents, that children, without exception,
like 10 play the piano with the hard pedal

the noise they can, in playing the piano as in
everything else. Playing upon the piano
without the heavy pedal does not disturb me
at all; but the minute the heavy pedal is put
on am greatly disturbed, and the continued
resounding of the notes fairly racks me-

why she didn't come of the plain and
live among them, more coy like"
where the trees grew, but both she and
Johnnie felt 1t duty to stay whers
they could watch the long sweep Of
railway track. Johnnie's interest in
everything concerning the trains con
tinued and grew, and the boys in the
neighborhood used to laugh and call
them his big pets.
Johnnie was a serious boy, and his
fathers death made him more so. He
did not seem to care to play with other
boys very much. His mother used TO
urge him 10 do so, saying that he was
getting too old-fashioned, yet dreading
all the time that be would follow her
advice. for he was very cornpanionable.
Johnnie was old-fashioned; but boy
would have been very old-fashioned
indeed not TO want TO celebrate the
Fourth Of July royalty. For this special
Fourth that / am going to tell you
about, Mrs. Duckworth had promised
her son a dozen packages Of little fire.
crackers and five packages Of great big
ones; but Johnnie, although he did no:
say anything, was not satisfied. What
he wanted was a colored light, and he
wanted it fervently and persistently.
The year before one Of the rich farmers
celebrated the Fourth by a display of
fireworks in the evening, the like of
which Johnnie had never seen. The
farmer had imported them from far New
York. There were rockets and Roman
candles and scintillating wheels, such
as the little village way up in the north
Of the state had never had on the coun-
terofits one store. And, wonder of won
ders! there were great lights, green and
red, tha. lit up acres and acres of the
farm, and even illuminated Johnnie's
and his mothers faces as they sat on the
little piazza of their home watching the
distant show. The next day Johnnie
asked in the village what the great
lights were, and was told that they were
called Grecian lights. Immediately the
desire 30 possess so much glow seized
Johnnie, and he resolved to have one
himself the next year. His longing was
so deep that somehow he could not tell
anyone about IL, not even his good
mother. His secret had a charm for
him. In the following spring he was
| still as enthusiastic, and he began to
| hoard the occasional pennies he made
| by one and another little service to the
village folk. By the last week in june
he had saved IS cents, and was ready for
! his purchase. And now, how TO secure
| the glorious brilliancy?
