Mrs. Bowser sighed, but said no
more. He had no sooner left the house
than she looked about to see that there
were brandy, camphor, hartshorn and
mustard in the house. Brown was
waiting with the bicycle at the gate,
and he said to Mr.. Bowser:
you have Is minutes yet before the
club meets, and you'd better practice
up a little. Come around the corner
and ride up and down a few times.
You've ridden before, haven't you?"
"A few times hfYol
When they had turned the corner
and were out of sight of the house, Mr..
Bowser made his beginning. He had
heard an cid rider. say that confidence
was half the battle. He summoned all
his confidence and jumped into the
saddle. After a good deal Of clawing
he got one pedal, but the other kept out
of his way, and the bike wabbled and
lodged around and finally banged into
the curb and sent the rider over the
handle bar. Brown looked at him du-
biously as he got up and rubbed his
bruises, but Mr.. Bowser was grit.
I'm a little out OF practice he said
in explanation, but it will come out
all right in five minutes. You don't
think I'm too fat, do you? Mrs. Bow

through. Lemme try again"
Take her right out in the middle OF
the street and resolve to conquer or
die. When you once get on, keep your
head"
After two or three vain efforts Mr..
BoWser reached the saddle again. and,
to his intense surprise, his feet struck
the pedals and he was off. A bike some
times does this in its %eccentrieity. If
he had been left TO himself, he might
have waDbIed and twisted the length
OF a block and banged up against the
shade tree on the corner, but he had not
gone a hundred feet when the 16 mem
bers OF the Zephyr club turned in on
.-.e block. Brown yelled and Bowser
yelled. when the 16 Zephyrs saw
something wabbling all over the street.
they also yelled, but the yelling did 20
good. Mr.. Bowser tried to fall off or
jump off or get Off, but six OF sever
festive riders struck him in chorus and
with exceeding unanimity. and what
Brown saw was a dark cloud lowering
over me street with human bodies
and parts of broken whee.s ascending
and descending and Whirling around.
Mrs. Bowser and the. cat arrived be-
fore the performance was all over. AS
they watched the cloud it drove away,
and men and women limped to the
curb and sat down. Mr.. Bowser was
left alone among the wrecked wheels.
He was lying or the broad OF his back,
and the look on his face was like that
of a man being burned alive at the
stake. They picked up the body and
carried it along and lugged it into the
house, ano as they backed out they
said to Mrs. Bowser:

urday night came, and there was the
usual crowd at the postofice, he shot
off his gun. He had his speech all pre-
pared. He told how the American flag
was first flung to the breeze-how
men cheered for liberty as they saw
it-how it had given freedom to a con-
tinent and brought happiness to mill
lions. Men had fought cheerin for
that flag, and men had died blessin it.
He wanted it h'isted in Jericho at sun
rise every day in the year, and he
wanted children to cry for it and men
and women to venerate it. Monday
was wash day in Jericho, and front
yards and back yards made a beauti-
full shown of sheets and shirts and
fowls and tablecloths, but above
them all would flap and flop the flag
which had covered the heroes of Bun
ker Hill as they died in the cause of
liberty.
AS soon as the crowd had recovered
from its surprise and begun to cheer
Deacon SpOoner said it was a mighty
strong pint and one worthy of a leadin
patriot of Jericho. He was heartily in
favor of the idea, and he would then
and there contribute 10 cents toward
the purchase of a public flag. He also
thought a vote OF thanks was due Enos
for his cuteness in thinkin out the idea.
A f1appin. 1oppin flag h'isted to the
! balmy breezes of Jericho would give
the town worldwide fame and prob
ably result in a boom.
| Then Hosea Saunders spoke. His
grandfather had died while fightin I'M
der the stars and stripes. His father
had fallen and killed himself while
climbin a fagpole. His mother had
wrapped him in the flag of liberty
when he was born. and he had long
thought of havin a group of stars tat
tooed between nis shoulders. He loved
his wife and children. and he set a
heap of value on his boss and COW, but
he loved the flag of his country nor
1t was hard times. and money was
tight, but he would go without tobacco
for a month in order to contribute a
shillin toward the purchase of a flag.
With his W hands, If agreeable to
all, he would hist the emblem at sun
rise and lower it at sunset durin the
rest of ms natural life.
| The deacon said that was also a
| beautiful speech, with a mighty strong
pint to it, anu the feelin's Of the
crowd had got so worked up over free
dom and liberty that tears stood in
many eyes Hosea was follered by
Squar' Joslyn, Philetus Williams, Alb
raham White and others, and there was
frequent cheerin and shakin hands.
ABOUT ten years ago Abijah Davison's
dog tore n ear 0 fla hog owned by
Joel Hardman. and the men have been
enemies ever since, but under the ex-
element and the patriotism engender-
ed by them speeches they fell into each
others arms and became brothers
ag'in. 1t was 1nal-y settled that a pub
lie contribution should be taken up to
buy a SIS flag, and then came the ques-

groans follered. There was signs that
three or four patriots would soon be
punchin each others head when Lish
Billings strolled in in that careless
way Of his. Deacon Spooner pounded
and ratified till he got order and then
said:
II want to hear from Lish Billings
on this matter. Mebbe he can suggest
sunthin. Lish what place in Jericho
would you say the American flag ought
to float from"
How many stars are there on the
American fag?" calmly asks Lish.
Nobody could tell.
Pears to me-" said Lish as he start
ed to wander o ag'in-" pears to me
that as none of you can tell the differ
encec between the American flag and a
tablecloth you'd better hang up an old
army blanket most anywhere and let
it go at that"
And at the end of five minits more
there wasn't a patriot left in the post
ONCE, and nothin more has ever been
said about buyin a public flag.

While the Bowsers were! eating din
