Crosspatch Mans house, he heard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
window. He couldn't help hearing. it
was SO quiet in the street. Perhaps it
was the "lull before the storm"
THE sahib cannot bear It." gentle
soothing voice was saying. but Mere
dith recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in 1t. THE sahib will
be again sick
Then came Merediths astonishment.
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was
answering. and it was quite calm and
gentle: and 1t said:
"Of course shall be sick again,
Hari!I've made all my plans to perish.
But what can you expect? The little
chaps must have their Fourth O. July.
| was little chap myself-once. Shut
the window .Hari There's suspicion
of draught."
Meredith stood still in sheer amaze
ment, and watched the turban-man
close the window. He was a little
chap himself once. the Crosspatch
Man was! And how kind his voice
had sounded too. 1t made him sorry
for the crasspatch Man-sorrier than
he had ever been before.
Hes a-dreadin' it like sixty. He's
'spectin' to perish" Meredith said
aloud. Its goin' to make him sick.
OF course-that's what he said to the
turban-man. An he was a little chap
once, an his voice was kind an tired
out
Then Meredith went home and
perched himself up on the banister
post in the hall, to think. That was
where he always thought things-big
things, you know. This was, oh my
such big thing!
I'm cap'n,' unused Meredith, knit
ting his little fair brows. Il can say,
Go, an thou ghost" like the man in
the Bible; but they'll be dreadful
will be. Still-well. he sick an he
had a kind spot in his voice. an he
used to be little chap too. so of
course he used to bang things an
make noises don't think he sound
ed much like a Crosspatch Man"
In little while. after little more
tough thinking. Meredith slipped
down and out of the door, up the
street. He got together the Rudd
Street Seconds and made a little
speech. as captain may. to his men.
The next day the city and all Amer
lea celebrated Fourth o. July. and
Rudd Street was famous again. but
this time for being the very quietest
street in all the city! There were just
as many boys in it. too. as ever.
The Crosspatch Mans white, ner-
vous face smoothed and calmed as the
day wore on. and at last it actually
smiled in gentle way, as if he was
thinking about something pleasant
And the captain of the Rudd Street
Seconds and his brave men, drilling
and popping and banging in distant
street, were happy, too.-Annie Ham

which Miss Quilhot and Miss Eroma-
thea were old maids, and the minister
oh, no, he wasn't an old maid, but
you couldn't expect him to have boys
in the house. for how could he ever
write his sermons?
So it was, as I said, an unfortunate
street to hay, NERVES" on. And the
Crosspatch Man had so many!
The three days between soon went
away. and it was the night-ths very
night-before it! There were only a
few hours more. for, of course. you
didn't have to wait till the sun rose on

The admirers of Eugene Field will be
interested in a new volume of verses by
him published by Tandy. Wheeler & Co..
on Denver. The verses were originally
printed in the Denver Tribune when Mr..
Field was on its editorial staff. Many
of the poems have a local interest to
merit, All OF them are permeated with
that sympathy and pathos which was
such a marked characteristic of his later
work. We understand the advance sale
of this book has been very large. and it
will undoubtedly run through several
editions.
