The Best Of 1t
A Juvenile Sketch
fol,
Independence Day

The Crosspatch Man was sick again,
and this time It must be pretty bad,
for all the morning Meredith had been
watching the servants spread straw
before the house and mufae the big.
shiny doorbell.
Poor mani" mamma said. pitingly.
HE is sick SO often!"
But he's q Crosspatch Mani" NUT
tered Meredith stifly. Then he re-
pented and looked as shamefaced as a

pied face. could look. I'm so sorry
he's very SICK" he said slowly. II

Mamma did not notice. She was
having her little noon gossip" with
papa. and they were still talking about
their invalid neighbor.
".It isn't quite so bad as It seems.
you know" papa was saying. HE al
ways has the straw laid down and
things mufled when he has one Of
his worse nervous attacks. It doesn't
mean all that it does in most cases.
He is terribly afflicted by noise at al
most any time
Noise! I should think sol" That
was from Meredith, who pricked up
his ears at the word. Didn't he know
how the Crosspatch Man felt bout q
noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd
Street Second? Wasn't he captain?
And oh. my, the times he'd seen the
Crosspatch Man a-scowling and a.
tuning when they marched past his
window!
"But Fourth Of July will be a terri
bic day to htm-poor mani" went on
mammals gentle voice. That made
Meredith start a little. He had been
thinking about Fourth O. July, too.
Odd he think Of much of anything
else nowadays?) He had been going
over in his mind all the glorious pro-
gram Of the day. For the Rudd Street
Second was going to celebrate In a
worthy manner. They were going to
even Guido themselves this year-and
hadn't they had the proud honor .of
being the noisest street in the city for
two Fourth O. Julys sa-running? Let
'em just wait till they heard this
Fourth o. July!
It was three days of. That would
give the Crosspatch Man time to have
the straw taken up and the bell UNI
mufled, for his worst .times" never
lasted more than two or three days.
Then he'll have to cotton up his
ears" unused Meredith, philosophic-
ally, watching the big foreign servant
that wore a turban go back and forth
past the Crosspatch Mans window.
The house Meredith lived in and the
Crosspatch Mans house were quite
close together, 81 it was easy to watch
things. L

voices distinctly issuing from an open
window. He couldn't help hearing, It
was sc quiet In the street. Perhaps It

"The sahib cannot bear It," a gentle

Then came Meredith's establishment.
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was
answering, and 1t was quite calm and
ge1tle; and It said:
"Of course I 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.
I was q little chap myself-once. Shut
the window, Hari. There's q suspicion.

Meredith stood still in sheer amaze
