dream for a few sweet moments of
that one girl before he should drift
into oblivion.
It is not at all uncommon for staid
and sober old bachelors who appear
to have drifted SO far past the age
of romance that they cannot see back
to that land of glories, to be nursing
a secret and hopeless love and getting
lots of comfort out of 1t.
Wilmont closed his eyes; the dream
fairy, that amiable sprite who tells
us SO many pleasant things that are
not so, was leading him gently back to
the old homestead and showing him
about the place, when from the calm
summer sky there burst forth thun-
der clap louder and more terrifying
than the combined report II all of the
artillery in the world were being fired
off at once.
Just moment later he realized that
1t was only a firecracker, singing Its
part in the nations Jubilee under his
chair.
That might have been considered a
good joke in the days when he was
young, but 1t didn't appeal to him just
then as such. "Confound those boys!"
he muttered, glaring at group of
celebrators a few doors away, who
we're, If appearances counted for any
thing, ignorant Of the fact that he
was this side OF the Atlantic ocean.
He closed his eyes to think whether
he would demonstrate with them OF

treat the matter with silent scorn,
when another reminder of the fact
that we licked the British once upon
a time sang forth a noisy taunt in the
air at his side.
With a bound he was on the lads
and, having seized two by the collars,
began in expletives far from polite to
threaten them with many kinds of
dire punishment which the law in its
infinite wisdom or the kindness of its
heart does not allow.
Meanwhile the boys were not only
protesting their innocence, but were
threatening him with that awful aven-
ger of all wrongs to whom the suffer-
er turns with all confidence when all
other means fail, the big brother.
1t was becoming an embarrassing
situation, in which Wilmont was look
ing for place to back out, when the
excited voice Of young woman broke
on his ears above the general din of
the day.
please don't hurt them," she ex-
claimed. "They didn't do it. threw
those firecrackers at you myself out
Of the window, but | didn't suppose
you would take on so about 1t on the
Fourth of July"
Wilmont turned, and there pleading
before him was the divine one.
IL beg your pardon" he STAN
mered; "of course didn't mind it."
ooh, | thought from the way you
acted, perhaps you did," she replied,
with twinkle in her eye.
81 will own up l ought to be arrest
ed for interfering with the constitu-
tional rights of free born American
citizens, but to tell the truth, l was
getting revenge on the world for leav-
ing me so lonely while 1t went off to
have good time"
"You might apologize to the world
through the boys" she suggested.
Il will" he replied; but on turning
he discovered they had not waited for
the little pleasantries of life.
81 know I shouldn't have done It,"
she said as they walked back, but
there was no suggestion of repentance
in her voice.
Eyes, you should have" he insisted;
"you should have blown me up"
81 am too big to shoot off firecrack-
ers anyway, but was all alone, and
bunch on the table tempted me-"
mo, you are not too big for that, OF
anything else you want to do. ought
to be disfranchised for not having shot

to the outraged Continentals.

Won't you please let me help shoot
off what is left Of your bunch, and
then we can get some more!"
But" she protested, hesitatingly,
I'VE are not acquainted"
"All American citizens are acquaint-
ed on the Fourth of July" he ex-
claimed, as though the oracle had spo-
ken. MY name is Wilmont, and

Truly charming name, and now
that we know each other, Miss Mar

Thus kindled by the spark of the
innocent firecracker, began a friend
ship which ripened into something
closer, for when some months later
there was another declaration, older
than the other, but ever new, the an

Must Wait Sixty Days, Z J. W. F.
Hughes, adjitaht general of the Kan
sas National guard, says that he does
not expect 10 pay the Kansas troops
for their time between the day of en-
listment and muster into the govern
ment during the Spanish-American
war for at least sixty days. He has
received a draft from the war depart
ment for $4,000 to cover the expense
of paying the soldiers, but must first
complete the roster Of the regiments
A part of the delay is also caused by
the fact that there is no means OF
compensation for John T. Nicholson,
the Kansas agent in Washington who
collected the funds. The state al
lows the agent 10 per cent on collec-
lions, but as these are claims OF in
dividuals 1t is probable that he will
get nothing for this work.

Doubtless there are certain number of per

no others. On these 1t is evident Mr.. Hearst
depends for all OF his vote which is not deliv-
cred to him like cattle by his friend Mr.. Muir
ply, "the chief criminal Of them ALL" On the
theory that the public memory is short, he
seems TO rely on these readers to forget his
own tributes to Mr.. Hughes Of year ago and
