A Lively One

" WONDER If you children know why W celebrate the Fourth of JULY ?"

III their little friends meant to do IN the coming Independence day.
"Why, because it's the Fourth o. July" Jack replied wisely
because isn't a reason" objected daddy 81 suppose l shall have to tell
you. Well, it's because on July !, 1776-just 1876 years ago-this country told
King George of England that the people were tired Of the way he raj things
over here. England then owned America. They told him they would attend
10 their business for themselves thereafter.
"Yu se, the king wanted them to pay him 81 much for everything they
Ute and drank and wore The king called this charge q tai and vas veya angry
because the Americans refused 20 pay it They said If he would lot treat them
more fairly they would not have him for their king any longer.
at ws in the old saehouss in Philadelphia o July a i77e, that this d-
ysion of the American people ws reached. A number of delegates from an
parts of the colonies had gathered there to decide what ought to be done.
There was a old bell in the tower Of the statehouse, and the old bell ringer
was to ring the bell to let the crowd outside know when the delegates in the
HALL had made up their minds. He had his grandson stay downstairs to hear
What they agreed to DO

One evening late in June, 1880, Miss
Grayman had retired to her room on
the third story Of her fathers splendid
mansion In Fifth ven and was
about to begin her toilet for the night
with the aid Of her maid. Susan jack
son, when a peculiar noise at one Of
the windows facing Central park at
tracted their attention. Miss Gray
man had a favortte cat, which some
times signiHed Its desire to enter her
room by tapping on the door, and she
directed Susan to open the lattice. The
girl threw the window wide open, ex.
pecttng, hke her mistress, to see the
cat leap In.
But instead Of the cat a mnn stepped
inside.
He was instantly followed by a CON-
panion. Before the affrghted girls
could utter the scream that was upon
their lips they were seized and gng-
ged, though with all possible gentle"
ness, and then were swiftly carried out
of the wtndew and upon the deck Of
an aero which foated against the wall
Of the house. The leader darted back
into the room, saying, "fn put out the
light"
He was gone only a minute. As soon
as he emerged, leaving the room in
darkness, the aero glided out over the
trees Of the park. The hour was not
very late; but, although the avenue
and the park in places were brilliantly
lighted, no passerby seems to have no
ticed the presence of the areo.
Neither of the men who had entered
the room wore a mask or made any
attempt at personal concealment. In
fact, the leader Immediately impress
| ed Miss Grayman with his remarkably
handsome and refined face, as well as
his instructive politeness and gentility.
In a few minutes the aero had risen
to a considerable elevation, revealing
the fiery lines of the streets below, and
then 1t fitted out into the darkness
over the Hudson. The hahdkerehlefs
that had been bound over the capt1ves'
mouths were now removed, and they
were led into a beautiful little cabin,
brilliantly Illuminated with colored
electric lights, near the center Of the
deck.
Both sank into chairs, and Captain
Paytou-for Of course 1t was he-took
a seat opposite to them. He smiled In

but the march of progress has
driven him into we'll deserved re-

replaced, In fiction at least, BY
The sky pirate, who Is even more
mysterious, more daring and more
romantic than his predecessor.

Captain Alfonso Poyton and his

AFTER AN ALL NIGHT FLIGHT.

AFTER AN ALL NIGHT FLIGHT.
EATHEN Miss Grayman and her
AEI{ maid awoke the Chameleon
was running high in the cool
blue morning air, and the
rays Of the just risen sun were stream
ing across the tops Of seemingly bound
less forests spread far below them.
They were, indeed, at so great an ele-
walton that the hills and valleys, Gov
cred by the green mantle of the trees,
resembled the swells and trouehs Of
immense waves. Here and there a
bare rocky mass rose out of the sea OF
vegetation like an island.
Miss Grayman had never been on
an aero before. Her father always
preferred the old fashioned railroads
and steamships, and she seldom made
even q short Journey without him. AS
she glanced over the edge Of the deck,
which seemed frightfully close, and
her ayes ranged down the clear atmos-
uheric depths. beholding the earth SO
fur beneath, she became giddy and
chung convulsively to her companion.
But Susan was no less affected than
her mistress by the unaccustomed ex-
perience and could lend her neither
support nor courage. They were about
precipitately to retire into their room
when the CHEEKY voice Of Commodore
Brown was heard as he approached,
smiling and bowling calamity.

eighteen years Of age, and 1t was the
common report that several European

sQQE


- 5S3 Embroidery Design.
The dress that closes at the front is a
tavorite one OF the season and has many
advantages. 1t is easy to slip on and off,
II is smart in effect and 1t Is generally be-
coming. This one includes the peasant
sleeves that are so much liked and is fin
tshed with a pretty round collar and cuffs.
In the illustration, 1t is made of striped
linen with collar and cuffs of plain, but
the model will be found an excellent one
for all the simpler seasonable materials
with collar and cuff of any contrasting one
that makes a good effect: Plain colored
linen or ~ehaInbray with collar and cuffs of
white would make both a fashionable and
4 pretty frock. Figured material could be
used throughout, with collar and cuffs
braided or embroidered.
The dress consists of the blouse and the
skirt. The blouse is made with front and
back portions and includes only shoulder
and under-arm seams. The skirt is made
in three pieces and plated. The two are
Joined by means Of a belt and the closing
Is mado at the front by means Of buttons
and buttonholes.
For the II year size will be required 6R
yards of material 27 inches wide. 4 yards
