And Ted turned away, while Allie, gathering
up her treasures, began to climb slowing up
the porch steps.
I was so tired and warm that sat down
under tree to rest; the boys strayed off a
little way toward the woods.
Allie was alone. She had package of fire.
crackers with her, and was evidently deter
mined to send them of. when she discovered
that she had no punk
What followed did not notice, being more
than half asleep; but Allie slipped into the
parlor and returned with half a dozen matches.
She knew that these were things she had
been forbidden to touch, but either her mem
ory was short or the temptation too strong
Terrified, she let it drop; but whether it
fell on her thin muslin apron, or whether she
knelt over it in STOPPING down, she could not
tell. All l know is that l was reused from
my feet, I saw Allie standing at the head of
the steps, her white pinafore in blaze.

fresh in my mind; Sick with fright, l stood
as IL TOOCcu 70 Tile BTOuuu, uidDlc 70 move
o step, unable to utter sound. A second
passed like year, and then a boy sprang
across the lawn and up the steps like a
fash.
1t was Geoffrey Dunbar, and in an instant
he had snatched up the heavy rug that lay
inside of the front door and rolled it tightly
around Allie, pressing her down to the ground
and smothering her feaHful shrieks for help.
1t seemed to my dazed mind that he was
killing her, and / staggered towards them,
while at the same moment my mother came
rushing out of the house.
Ny head swan and my eyes were full of
tears, but 1 saw Geoffrey unroll the rug, and
there lay Allie at our mothers feet, white and
unconscious, her apron and frock scorchcd to
cinder, her bare arms burned and blistered
her pretty curls utterly destroyed.
But that was all. Thanks to her timely
deliverance, she had received no serious in
jury.
back Just in time to give the aid so terribly
needed, and while our mother gathered Allie
to her bosom, Ted stood by her side, white
to the lips and with strange softness in his
sturdy little face.

"Of course. said Bertie-"when tomorrow

Instinctively we all glanced, at our guest
perfectly unconcerned.
"What is the Fourth" he said, pleasantly

BERTHE looked, at him in speechless amaze.
ment and disgust. Such ignorance surpassed
his comprehension.
But Ted said, boldly:
''The Fourth of July is the. day the Decla-
ration of Independence was signed. Perhaps
you may have heard of that"
Godfrey looked puzzled for minute, and
then his face frightened.
"Oh, yes, to-besure" he said. 81 had for

"Oh, -Bertie!" whispered, shocked at his

"Don't want us!" gasped Ted 'I guess you
could not have us if you did!"
81 suppose not, said GeoHrey; and added,
candidly, "Of course we did want you at the
time-at least, some of us did-but we don't
now. We have got more countries than we
know what to do with"
"Oh, have you?" began Ted, shortly; when
to my great relief the tea-bell rang and put
an end to the discussion. which was becoming
too heated for good manners.
II don't like him." whispered Bertie to me,
in the hall. 'Do you?"
'I do" said Allie, who was close at my
heels. 81 think he is lovely"
The next morning was clear and bright, and
the only thing to mar our perfect happiness
was Geoffrey's presence.
He was willing enough to join in our fun,
and both boys tried hard to be polite and
cordial. But it was easy to see that they
had no real liking for each other, and in con-
sequence our sports lost heartiness, and little
discords Jared the pleasure of the day.
Geoffrey was inclined to be superciious, and
Ted would take him down, and as this did not
tend to mutual good feeling, they several
times nearly had an open rupture.
To me our visitor was politely Indifferent,
but he evidently returned Allies fancy, and
spent good deal of his morning in helping
her send off her frecrackers and encouraging
her when she felt afraid-in return for which
attention she followed him around like little

fresh to our childish eyes, that we considered
the sense of defeat must be as strong in our
enemy's soul as was the sense of triumph
in ours.
Of course this English boy would hate the
very sound of the Fourth, and how were we
to reconcile our hospitality on the one side,
with our cherished plans upon the other!
How indulge in ire-crackers and sky rockets,
without deeply wounding the feelings of the
guest whom our mother had hidden US to
treat politely?
1t was an enigma tnat puzzled us sorely,
and seeing no way to solve it, we resolved to
leave the matter entirely to our fathers judg-
ment.
"Only | tell you what it is, NAB" said
BERTHE; 81 haven't saved up my money for
two months, to be cheated out of all my fun
on the Fourth: If we can't do any better,
Ted and l will take our fre-crackers to the
much as you like at home"
We expected our father home on the first
of the month. but the steamer was delayed
by storms, and he did not arrive until the
seeing him we did not notice his companion,
who. jumped lightly from the carriage and
stood little apart until father called to him.
"Where are you. Geoffrey?" he said. when
our noisy welcome had subsidized. Come here,
and let me make you acquainted with all these
clamorous young people. They are to make
your visit so pleasant that you won't want to
leave when the time comes"
And with few words OF introduction and
another kiss for his little girls, he went up
stairs, leaving us to grow friendly in our
own fashion.
For a minute we all sat looking at each
other in awkward silence. Ted and BERTHE
were both as solemn as owls. and evidently
much oppressed by the situation. Even AL
lie. who was considered our clever specimen
seemed to have lost her ready little tongue
and remained mute as a mouse.
It was plain that must say something to
break the ice, but could think of no fitting
remark to offer. Our visitor looked intently
out of the window, and thought as fur
lively watched him, that his face was very
bright and pleasant.
lie was taller than Ted, and had clear blue
eyes, while his hair and skin were both ex-

by the summer sun to deep mahogany color.
Suddenly he turned, and meeting my appeal
ing glance, responded to it at once by opening
the conversation.

PROMISE AS "BAD" AS
POTATOES, WOMAN SAID.
John Southland offered to Square Things,
but He Didn't-Now He's Held
Under Bail.

John Southland, OF 42S Bergen street, who
sold several sacks of potatoes to Mrs. Sadie
Keyworth, of 239h Hawthorne avenue. and
Mrs. Catherine Crawford, of 249 Haw-
thorne avenue, on October u, which, ac-
cording to complaints by the women, were
nothing but s%weepings of the freight cars,
was taken into custody by Plainclothes-
men Kaas and Sebold today and arraigned
before Judge Herr in the Fourth Precinct
Police Court and held in 5000 bail to await
the action of the Grand Jury.
When the women appeared in the court
several weeks ago they had with them a
bag of sample potatoes they purchased.
the court decided to send for the dealer
and advise him to either refund the money
or furnish the women with potatoes like
those he displayed before making the sale.
This appeared satisfactory, but lays and
weeks passed and Southland failed to keep
the promise he made to Judge Herr.
When Mrs. Keyworth so advised the court
the judge was surprised and instructed
Clerk Pearson to issue a complaint against
Southland, charging him with obtaining
money under false p~retenses, and this
was done.
Southland made another plea iii court to.

court refused to entertain it.

two votes at the recent election, was
sworn in late yesterday afternoon by
City Clerk James f. Connolly, upon his
presenting his certificate from the
county election board, certifying that
he q won.
As the Democrats have made appli-
cation to Justice Gummere in the SUI
preme Court for a recount of the bal
lots of the First Ward, contending that
the votes on 1.-THE Independent ticket
which Endorsed Mr.. Wright was not
credited to him, the action of swearing
in Mr.. Masket was looked on with
some askance by politicians.
City Clerk Connolly Stated today that
he had nothing to do with the matter,
as the County Board of Election has
issued the certificate to Mr.. MaskeI
notifying him that he was elected, and
that it was the duty of the City Clerk
to swear in the candidate when he pre-
scented the certificate.
Enos Runyon, of the county election
board. visited the city clerk this morn
ing in regard to the matter and they
discussed it informally.
1t is held by, Wright's friends that
the county board, in view of the fact
that application for recoun had been
made. should nave held back the GER
tif1cate until after the recount.
1t was learned, however, that this
would not be necessary in view of the
fact tina the action would not have to
be taken If Masker had not taken his
seat, as the ruling of the court in the
case of the Masker-Wright recount las
year was to the effect that the failure
of Masker to swear in before the re-
count had no bearing on the case, and
held the oath of office administered by
the City Clerk in an administered ca
pacity invalidated for lawful reasons.
Mr.. Masker won in last years cleo
ton by eight votes, but failed to take the
oath of Office Immediately after election,
and a recount order was obtained, with
the result that the Supreme Court de-
clared Wright the winner by twenty-three
votes. throwing out as invalid more tina
thirty Masker ballots because of an error
in printing pastors,
At his place of business in Market street
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Masker said that
he had twice received a majority of the
votes of the First Ward for member Of
the Common Council, and that this year
he proposed to carry out the commission
that had been given him.. Last year, he
said, he had not appreciated the serious
ness of the attempt to seat Wright until
it was too late. He proposed that no stone
should be left unturned to prevent the
Democratic plan to get Wright in from
being successful.
