Mr.. Burton said that IL John Wesley
had the persistency to work for six
months to this one end he had the
right sort of stuff in him.
So it happened that all day long
Johnny sat around on the piazza
watching his smaller brothers and
their friends firing off crackers of as
sorted sizes. He could afford to
glance condescendingly and patroniz-
ingly at their innocent pleasures, for
out in the woodshed, carefully covered
with an old wash boiler, was the fin
ed by a small boy of Ashton. For
had not the catalogue said so? And
catalogues tell no fibs. when one is
just IA.
There were a dozen six-ball Roman
candles, whole pound of red fire,
rockets so long that their sticks pro-
truded through the rust-eaten holes of
the wash boiler, Catherine wheels in
profusion, including two that would go
two ways at once, and flower pots ga
lore. One OF the latter was guaranteed
to shoot twelve balls and a rain of
golden fire, exploding finally in a veri-
table stellar system. This one piece
had cost two dollars, but the presence
of Lottie Carter in her pretty city
frocks and armed with her pretty city
airs would more than repay him for
such reckless expenditure.
Only once did he remit his vigilant
guard over his treasures, and that was
in the morning when the Flyer went
by. 1t was little more than two years
since the railroad had come to Ashton,

and its fast train still was a source of
joy to the boys of the pretty farming
district around Ashton.
The Burton farm was a good mile
and half from town, and the Carriers
lived on the further edge of Ashton;
but directly after supper Johnny start
ed out, undismayed by the walk before
him and the weight of his load, for
the fireworks, packed carefully in a
burlap sack, was flung over his shoul-
der.
AS the railroad offered the shortest
cut to town he was soon skipping from
tie to tie, and when his enthusiasm

thirds of the distance, and was just
wondering whether he could spare a
Roman candle to salute the excursion
train which was shortly due, when he
saw something that almost made him
drop his beloved burden.
The bridge which spanned the cut
leading into town had sagged, the
timbers and girders cutting deep into
the bank. And the excursion train,
with its burden of pleasures seekers,
was due at Ashton in five minutes. His
interested study of train service had
taught him that there was no time
now to run on to the village, and even
If he got there in time this would not
help the train approaching from the
other way.
With a final glance at the saggine
bridge he started back the way he had
come, running as fast as his tired legs
could carry him. He chung to his bag

each other as he ran.
He had covered a half mile from the
gap, when the headlight of the excur-
sion train shone duly in the gather
ing twilight. The track was straight
and down grade, and Turner, the engi-
neer, was late. With throttle wide
open the engine tore along trying to
make up time on the straightest bit
of road along the line.
Suddenly the darkness was illum-
ined by the flash of a rocket and
Turner called his fireman to see the
display. One after another, eleven
rockets left their trail of fire against
the sky and burst, throwing out
clouds of stars and golden rain.
There was blackness for a moment
and then suddenly the tracks ahead
seemed to turn into a veritable flower
garden of fire.
Turner shut off steam and put on
the air. brakes with a suddenness that
shook up the passengers and threat
ened to telescope the train. The mo-
mentum was great, however, and the
heavy locomotive burst into the bed
of fire and through it, leaving a black
ened smouldering heap which every
little while would emit faint splutter
as some stray bit of powder was
reached by the fame.
Then the engine backed down and
Turner jumped off the cab.

This is the Fourth of July, you know

CHAPTER XIV.

All of the dozen slept like alIiga+ors
that night-all except Tug. who ~
spite of his great WEAKNESS. could No,
help worrying over the very success
he had been working so hard for
While the others only realized tba+
B. j. was safe among them once mora
and that the dozen was again COM
plete, Tug tossed about, thinking of
what might be the result of tbeir
desperate attack on Capt. Mudd and b,e
boat.
To his lively imagination the Lake
runners had committed burglary. as
sault and battery. highway robbery
disturbance of the peace, obtainino
B. J. under false pretenses, kidnapping
and almost every crime in the lau
books. Tug felt sure that Cant
Mudd had gone at once to the notice
at Keokuk and that they were even
now in search for the dozen. He Law
awake wondering at what moment
their little bivouac would be discov-
cred and surrounded. Every leaf that
went crinkle-erinkIe, every bough that
cracked in the cool of the night. was
a footsep.
Tug was not half so much worried
about the punishment that might be
inflicted on the Lakerimmers as ne
was worried with the fear that thew
would take away B. j. and give him
back to Capt Mudd. So it was a
restless night of torment that Tug
spent.
AS a matter of fact, Capt. Mudd
was just as much worried and was w.
ing awake in his own cabin. To his
restless imagination, the Lakerimmers
must have gone Immediately to the
police at Keokuk and sworn out a
complaint against him for kidnapping
B. J., and for cruel treatment. So
Capt. Mudd saw himself thrown
into a dungeon for years or lynched
by mob of indignant citizens. AS
he lay there in his cabin every slap
slap, slap of the ripples against the
side of the boat seemed to be the foot
steps of the police or a mob of fathers
who wished to punish the wretch who
could carry off and maltreat a young
boy.

and forced them to leave their COM

A SUDDEN
FOURTH OF JULY
BY EPPs WINTHROP SARGENT.

Great events had come into the life
of John Wesley Burton before this.
In his fifth year he had been per-
mitted to visit the barber and have
his curls cut off. The understanding
stuff which the barber had squirted
over his short locks had made him
feel quite like a man. At he had
started to school. At 10 Luella Mil
Ter had come into his life and the first
shafts of Dan Cupid had pierced his
juvenile heart. At II he had proudly
escorted Elsie Carter to the church
social and had "seen her home" again.
All of these were triumphs in their
way, but they swere as nothing when
compared with the decision of his IA
Their that a IA year old boy might set
off his own fireworks. The year before
he had been forced 10 sit impatiently
on the front stop of the Carter home,
while Billy Harrison, who was 16, had
shot off their joint pur16&lses, to the
great edification of Lottie Carter, who
was Elsie's cousin from the city and
the temporary idol of every boy in
Ashton Center.
Now he would not be compelled to
Watcn anOtner reap CHe SloIJ loI
which he had partially paid. Billy
Harrison had gone to West Point to
spend the Fourth, and John Wesley
was going to show the adorable Lottie
that he had grown considerably since
her last visit even to the point of
leading the celebration, which the
Carriers held annually on their front
lawn.
Ever since Christmas he had been
saving up his money that he might
have the most elaborate assortment of
fireworks in town. Mrs. Burton had
protested against the foolish waste of
S1216 in red fire and its noisier COM
plement of roman candles, etc, but
