The family is feeling fine,
The Fourth has woeless gone,
Save for the rocket that misfired
And took an eye from John.
The day went off without a hitch,
And all was bright and fair,
Although there was catherine wheel
That burned poor Nellie's hair.
And mommer said she liked the fun
"Im not too old, guess"
But what change when Willie's bomb
Burned through her party dress
We all look back upon the Fourth,
Without face that's glum,
Though uncle's rather sensitive
Since Bud blew off his thumb.
Why even Pepper, yesterday,
Lit bombs and yelled and cheered,
But my He looks so comic since
A cracker singed his beard.
And Auntie Toodles (she's got COIN
Was asked to spend the day
A cracker fastened to her skirt
Cut short her quiet stay.
The family Is feeling fine,
If one or two are sore
We had happy, peaceful Fourth,
And hope for many more.

1t startled Constance, as / have i'm
piled, and for the first time caused her
to question her own prudence in allow
ing him to look in upon the family
sitting-room.
The week following it was hermetic-
ally closed, but Constance more than
once caught a glimpse of the detected
figure, and she thought of speaking to
her uncle to desire the man to go
away. One evening he stood outside
in pouring rain gazing at the house
long after the curtains were down
until Mrs. Hamilton grew deeply vexed
with his folly.
''It must be stopped" she said to
herself, decidedly, and she concluded
to go over and talk with Mrs. Fry
Perhaps she could learn something
which would explain his strange be
havior.
A man sat by the stove holding
little boy, while Mrs. Fry hustled
about trying doughnuts.
You jest walk right into the settin
room, Mis- Hamilton, an I'll be in in
jiffy."
Constance walked through, but not
without seeing that the man was the
same she had seen in church, and She
recognized the fact with a momentary
tremor.
AS for the man himself. he looked
with an eager regard that seemed to
pierce the door beyond which she had
disappeared. The child set up a dis
contented roar, which recalled him to
his task for Mrs. Fry had set little
Johnny in his lap. asking him to mind
him while she fried her doughnuts
The man resumed the jingling of his
keys and the child was quiet. Finally
the hot lard kettle was put away, and
with a capable swoop of her arm the
boy transferred from the mans arm
to her own, and moment later Mrs.
Fry appeared in the sitting-room
where her visitor was.
"a poor creetur as ever was" she
said to Mrs. Hamilton. with a back
ward sweep to her head, indicating
the man in the room she had left.
