ROYALTY LOYAL
A TRUE FOURTH OP JULY STORY
BY r1ANDA L. CROKER
BY MANpA |. cRockRR

T\HIS was the third Of July! Yes;
with one elbow on the corner Of the
gray lichened post, she stood by the
gate, gazing down the old clay road
in the blinking heat.
Tomorrow would be the Fourth; yes,
but she was net thinking of 1t as the ami
versary of independence, as couched in the
Declaration. Not one In all the countryside
knew that Marie Sweetland meant to keep
the day differently from most people.
She was patriotic; she had proved that a
year ago down in Cuba, but she had proved
more. And she meant to be right royalty
loyal all her life to the love enthroned.
People said that she was not the same
viyacious Marie since she returned from San
tiago that she had been hitherto. There was
more than neighborly gossip in this observa-
tion and none knew it better than she did,
for had she not left her heart with the oc-
cupant Of cot No. 2Os But nobody knew,
not even he; so of necessity there 1t would
end.
AT the foot of the long hill the old clay
road crossed a rustic bridge; and the bridge
spanned brook which had all it could do
to keep the troops of willows and alders
alive that huddled along its sides and bent
over for a cool BREATH
Somebody was coming around the bend
just beyond the bridge. Yes; that was
father and Cell. Father would always be
soldier and a boy, and she smiled little,
thinking of other soldiers, as Cell arched his
neck to the music of several tiny flags flap
ping from his bride.
The elbow slipped off the lichened post.
"They are late," she said, folding her hands

She nodded a glad welcome; her tongue
could find no words In this glad hour, It was
all so sudden.

daughter Marie was a nurse in the Spanish

takes him longer to make the trip nova.
days; then Cell is older, too"
Another thought flashed through the
blinking heat: "And am older, tool"
With sigh she turned back toward the
house, still musing. They had brought him in
terribly wounded on the Sd Of July and the
next day she stood by his cot. The hand
some sufferer of No. 20 seemed sensibly
nearer this evening; her heart gave great
throb and stood still. But, of course, it
could not be, as she did not even know his
name and he had not obtained hers. He
simply knew her as "Nurse Marie" and she
knew him as."No. 90"
Nevertheless, she gave him her heart when
he looked up, his splendid eyes full Of agony
racking his poor wounded body, and in a
pleading voice said: 'Pray that may live
for mothers sake!"
And, with the noise Of battle in their ears,
his hand sought hers, and two prayers as
cended as one.
But old Cell had jogged around the drive
to the dining-room entrance, and her father
was full Of the plans for the morrow. "Myt
Sara, he said to the mother, who was look
ing after the unloadsd parcels; 'we're going

He was close beside her now, and she
said in hushed manner: "This day is the
anniversary, dear, the Fourth"
Il had forgotten everything but you," he
answered; then reyerenty: at is; so diff
ferent, but not more loyal" Then he turned
and saluted the dear old flag as it hoated out
on the summer air.

went OUT to breakfast, "ths young soldier

But the surprise was reserved for the
countryside people, when the first cornet of
the Union city band came into the grounds
with Marie Sweetland ON his arm. Then
everybody composed a romance dating back
to "last year at Santiago" but most of them
were awfully "at sea-"
When the Union City band started for
home that evening the first cornet did not
go; he handed a note to the second cornet
for his mother instead.

For some little time ii has been the
intention OF the publishers Of this pa
per to give the reading public some
idea of the character and extent of the
above named industry, so will now in
this special issue OF the Leader carry
out that which has been so long con-
templated.
The India Spice and Drug Company
was organized In 1890, and until 1898
had only fairly successful career.
Upon this date the plant was purchas-
ed by the present proprietor, Walter
Kirby, and then began its unparalleled
career of success. This is not to be
wondered at. however, for Mr.. Kirby
any business he might engage in. He
was born at Bartlett. Washington
county, Ohio, June 4. 1867. and was
educated In the schools OF this city
and Lebanon, Ohio. His first busi-
ness experience was at Parkersburg,
w. Va, where he was for one year
manager OF branch Of s. B. Kirby &
Company. After that he came to Ma
rietta, and associated with his former
employers as junier partner. With
the exception OF one year spent in the
street railway business he continued
with 8. B. Kirby & Company until
purchasing the India Spice and Drug
Company. in November. 1898.
Mr.. Kirby was also one of the or
ganlzers of the Marietta Transfer and
Storage Company. and has been Presi-
dent of the same since its organiza-
ton. IL
The India Spice and Drug Company
Is located at 200 Second street, In a
commodiOus three story brick build
ing, 80 feet front and extending back
180 feet. The first floor of this build
ing Is used for storage. in connection
with a go foot addition in the rear used
for spice milling. The basement Is oc-
cupled by the Phoenix Broom Works.
of which Mr.. Kirby is proprietor
The front second floor Is used ex-
clusIvely for the manufacture OF va

are imported by themselves. And the
