Tom leave you behind, too? 1t is too bad,

Thus appealed to, Tim ran up to the gate
and scratched at it until the dexterous little

swung open.

as if the little dog had spoken. "We'll go to

Fourth of july she ever had.
There was one thing which kept her from
being perfectly happy, and that that in
all that crowd of faces, nowhere could she
see Toms.
All her resentment had died out, and she
hoped most anxiously that he had as good a
place to see the show from as she had.
When they passed Mr.. Walkers barn, she
looked eagerly up to the loft door, but he was
not there; nor was he on the roof, where a
great many of his friends were.
Late in the afternoon the carriage drew up
in front of the town hall.
What are We going here for?" Kitty asked.

said the middle-aged man. Aren't you hun

Kitty was very hunrgy. She was hot, too,
and glad to get in the shade of the porch.
They carried her carefully into the hall, and
there was a long table all set for dinner Her
oldest friend sat at the head, with the middle
aged man on his right, Kitty on his left
with a Websters dictionary on her chair
and the young man on Kitty's left. The rest
of the places were all filed with men she had
never seen before and there was great deal
of lively talk and laughter.
Some of them were in uniform, and others
just wore dark suits, with gay ribbon badges.
They laughed SO much, and told such funny,
interesting stories, that she was quite content
to sit still in her chair and listen.
Presently she gave little start, and said
to her left-hand neighbor
