beyond. Jack and Lulu Just managed
to reach the gate in time to get over It
there was no time to open and shut the
gate) when up came the believing calves,
paving the earth In the most furious
manner. The children, now safe outside
the fence, turned to look at Rosebud and
Redpepper in amazement. why, who'd
believe itv' exclaimed Jack as soon as
he could get his breath.
"Yes, they have always been as gentle
as Kittens remarked Lulu.
But both children blushed with shame
as they noticed the looks of amusement
on their visitors faces. 1t was plain that
they thought 1t a good joke on Jack and
Lulu for they had Dragged SO big about
riding the calves before showing their
prowess.
''Well. we'l never tell on you," said
Tom Franklyn, one of the visiting boys.
''The joke would be too bad II 1t got
out. But l wish you could have seen
yourselves as we saw you," he went on,
laughingly.
Well" said Jack, bit crestfallen,
"I'll admit we didn't ride very grace
fully; but it would have looked about as
funny to an outsider to see you all run
ming pell-mell to the gate to get outside
the fence, SO 1t would"
And as the little party went homeward,
some blushing and ashamed, while others
laughed over the joke, Rosebud and Red
pepper, standing in the pond of water up
to their round little bellies, laughed tin
their very tails trsmbied %a, aRa caused gof
our revenge on those mischievous chill
dren, all right" said Red-pepper. Nov
Well be allowed to grow up as we
should"
And Rosebud, laughing too much to talk
only nodded her head affirmatively, and
took a sip Of water.

point of rebelling against It, We are not

Il agree with you cousin" said little
Rosebud, nibbling a bit of clover. "And

In this world And one of those rights Is

Rosebud turned up her funny snub nose
at thought Of the animal she so detested.
We'll. suppose we put stop to this
riding on our backs tomorrow" said Red
pepper. "The way to do 1t is to play

anticipation.

You're right, kid" admitted sammy
Fred's chum. And so 1t came about that
pretty soon all the Hrecrackers Of the
crowd were used up and only the big
guns left for the final "wind-up."
Now It's time to let Off the Roman
candles" said Fred the self-appolnted
master of ceremonies.
Yep, the Roman candles" cried Sammy
and all the other little chaps together.
| "The Roman candles next -
Say, fellers," said Fred, meditatively,
I've just recollected that all such things
as Romancandles and skyrockets should
be sent OFF at night. Then they show OF

Sure acquiesced Sammy "we'r save
'em till night, Then we'll fire em of in a

cannon did at the battle Of Of"

/ eled-faced boy of ten who was considered

Here all the boys maintained discreet

well, l think 1t best to wait till dark
an set off the big guns" said Jim, the
freckled-faced historian might makes
things look so big an bright and scary."
So 1t was decided by the boys to wait
till nightfall to make n display of their
Romancandles aud skyrockets. The rest
Of the day was spent In wandering about
the woods, back frequently to the picnic
grounds for Lemonade (that was in bar
rel free for alD and to beg cakes and
sandwiches from their mothers.
After many hours spent in strenuous
play the little band of boys became tired
out from so much celebrating" and ind
ing a cool spot near the rivers edge de-
cided to lie In the shade and tell stories
till the sun should set.
But one by one they fell asleep, over
come by the quiet of the woods and the
song of the swiftly flowing river. After
little nap, however, Fred awoke to see
all his companions sleeping as soundly as
though they were In their beds lively
thought possessed him. Would 1t not be
great fun to FIRE off skyrocket and
frighten them all out of their very shirts?
Aha! That was just what he would do.
Gently taking skyrocket from the
bunch Of "big guns near at hand Fred
stepped a safe distance from his slumber-
Ing comrades and prepared to touch a
match to its business end" But before
doing this he looked about for some place
to rest the stick before gniting the fuse.
Seeing no spot that seemed satisfactory
he suddenly decided to hold 1t In his
hand. Then he lighted the match, touched
1t to the fuse and-siz-siz, snap, roar
away went the sky-rocket with Fred hold |

ing to the end OF the long. strong stick.
Up, up through the trees into the clouds
they went, the skyrocket emitting fire
and noise and Fred holding on with
tenacious grip thinking that at any
minute he might fall to earth and be
killed. But on he Travelled through air
sweet and cool. Pretty soon he opened
his eyes to hnd the earth n long way be-
low him. Then Fred became conscious
that he was going away from the globe
on which he lived; and had 1t not been
that he knew death would be his reward
should he let go and fall hnck to earth,
he certainly would have let go the stick
that was taking him beyond the clouds to
some strange world.
The picnic grounds were fast disap-
pearing, and Fred's heart ached as he
thought of his dear parents consterna
tion when at evening they should begin
searching for him. Then the alarm
would be sounded and everyone would
| join In the search for the missing Fred.
who would be soaring through the heav-
ems at the end ofa skyrocket stick
After n while Fred became drowsy
and decided to take a nap. But before
doing so he saw that he had a good hold
on the stick. Then closing his eyes he
slept for n long, long time. When at
last he awoke he was going through
the milky way. How bright the tiny
stars were when one was In their midst.
And strange to say, Fred did not feel
the least bit tired. He was taken along
on the air like a bird that did not have
to exert Its wings. Once he looked be-
low him IN COO ~ 10 cOuId still
view of the earth; but only the stars
surrounded him. Pretty soon he felt
that thcy--he and the skyrocket-were
approaching some place Of destination
a place that would come IN the way
of their flying further into the sky. Look
ing up he saw this was true There over
head hung a great planet whose surface
looked much like the dear old earth he
had just left. Or had he just left 1t?
Indeed, he seemed to have slept for
days, weeks, maybe months, during that
long unconscious spell. Maybe it was
now September or October! oh, how
terrible to contemplate the anxiety and
suspense of his dear parents.
But Fred's attention was called to the
fact that he was being drawn very rapid.
ly to the planet Just above him. Then
of a sudden he was whirled over and over
like a ball In the air, his feet remaining
towards the planet when the whirling
process stopped. Fred drew n breath of
relief. He knew that he was to land
right end up. He had felt a bit of fear
few moments before, thinking he was
to land on his head.
And then there was a strange sensation
of quiet Fred was standing on ground
once more, his head swimming fearfully
from the long flight through space He
looked all about him for some house, but
nowhere was there a sign OF life. "Ah,
this Is the MOON" Fred said to himself
Teacher has told us how 1t is a dead
planet without any water or atmosphere
But how do I breathe so nicely If there
amt nothin' to breathef Pshaw, reck-
on Teacher don't know quite so much
about the moon us she pretends to. Any
way, I'll look about for something to eat
and drink
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-07

Come this way, then" said a voice
that sounded so much like a squeak that
Fred had to laugh. Turning he saw that
the skyrocket had become animated with
life and was jumping about in a very
jolly manner.
"Well, Funny Stick" smiled Fred. $50
you've come to life, have you? Gee, I'm
glad of that for l was getting aw-
full lonesome, ! was. But did you say
you can take me to some place where
we'll ind something to drink an eat?"
Follow" was the sticks reply. Then
he danced of over the moons surface like
a dancing master giving a lesson. Fred
followed In the same lively way, laughing
as he went. Pretty soon they came to n
| lovely fountain of cold water. Fred drank
his all and waited till the skyrocket stick
dipped his head into the cool trickllng
stream. Then away they went TO n
green grove that appeared in the dis
tance. Inside that. grove dwells the

1 Stick" as Fred called the skyrocket that
now appeared possessed of human intelli-
gence. We'll tap at his gate and ask
for some refreshment"
In response to Funny Sticks" tap on
cred bower: WHO'S there and what's
wanted?"
Its Master Fred and Funny Skyrock-

Informed Funny Stick" Immediately
the gate was opened by a nymph dressed
In rosebuds and leaves. "This way"
said the nymph, leading the strange Wis
itors to the bower. Once inside Fred
looked about for the Man in the Moon,
but he did not at first see him. Then
gradually he dawned upon his vision, a
being the color of the leaves and bios
SONS about him. He was a giant in stat
ure and weight. most noble brow
shadowed deep purple eyes. Hair like
soft vines fell over rose-tinted cheeks
"Ah, how did you reach my world?" asked
the Man Of the Moon. "For centuries
uncountable men of the Earth have been
studying my planet without finding out
very much about me. Well, and SO it
takes boy and n skyrecket to shoot
themselves to n place that can't be
reached by mans genius. All, ha! You
are clever little pair I'll just keep
you forever" And hereupon he reached
out long slnewy arm that resembled
the branch Of gnarled oak tree, with
fingers all twisted like the tendrils of
Wild grape vine. Fred felt that once he
was in the clutch of that giant arm and
hand there would be no more hope for
his return to earth. With a bound he
was out of the bower, screaming to the
stick to follow him. Come, Funny,
come. For dear life come!'
Say. kid, what you yellin' 'bout?' ask
Fred, rubbing his eyes and painting from

about him in dazed way. Gee, when
did I get backf'' he asked. rising to his
feet and looking about him. "And where
is Funny Stick?"
Say, wake up there" cried several of
Fred's comrades, all sitting up in the
grass and rubbing sleep from their eyes.

Master Fred was a most patriotic little
chap, especially on the Glorious Fourth.
Early on the morning of the Fourth OF
July he sailed out to celebrate. His papa
gave him fifty cents with which to buy
the necessary ammunition used on such an
occasion. Fred supplied himself with one
huge sky-rocket, a Roman candle and sew
eral pocketfuls of frecrackers. Then he
proceeded to the picnic grounds, where
right royal celebration was to be held by
all the village folk, young and old, little
and big.
After reaching the picnic grounds Fred
fell in with several of his young comrades
who had preceded him there. They began
celebrating in the most expressive manner
by shooting or whole lunches of fire.
crackers at a time. This may have seemed
rather extravagant behavior but Fred
said, What does a little noise amount to,
anyway? It's a big blowout feler

On the Glorious Fourth

With many irecrackers in his hand;
Some matches in his pocket;
A Hip, hip, hurrah!' OF his tongue;
And one immense skyrocket,
Thus little Billy wandered forth
Most joyously to try
To celebrate in the right way
Th' Glorious Fourth of July
He fell in line behind the band
That played "Red, White, and Blue;'
He sang to help the noise along,
Though the words : he never knew.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-07

Then to the Celebration Grounds
He marched with gallant tread;
And listened while a Wondrous Man
"The Declaration" read.
Then came the picnic dinner
Spread meath great oak tree;
And little Billy ate his fill
While the band played Liberty"
And all the rest the day was spent
In making fun and noise;
Shooting lots of firecrackers of
With all the girls and boys.
And when at eve he wandered home,
AS tired as he could be,
He said, II love the Glorious Fourth,
'Tis day what jest suits me-"
