CHAPTER VIII.

There are some people In this world
with whom it seems impossible to quar-,
rel, notably the parents of attractive
daughters.
Perhaps, If Gracia Aragon had not
been watching him from the window
Philip De Lancey would not have been
quite so cordial with her father-at
least, that was what Hooker thought,
and he was so badly peeved at the
way things had gone that he said 1t,
too.
Then, of course, they quarreled, and,
one thing leading to another, Phil told
Bud he had a very low way of speak.
Ing. Bud replied that. whatever his
deficiencies Of speech might be, he
was not fool enough to be drawn in
by a skirt, and Phil rebuked him again.
Then, with a ecornful grunt, Bud
Hooker rode or In silence and they
said no more about it.
1t was a gay life that they led at
night for the Fortuna hotel was filed
with men Of their kind, since all the
staid married men had either moved
across the line with their families or
were under orders to come straight
home.
In the daytime the hotel was nearly
deserted, for every man in town was
working for the company; but In the
evening, when they gathered around
the massive stove, 1t was a merry com
pany indeed.
There were college men, full of good
stories and stories not so good. world.
wanderers and adventures with such
tales of the East and West as never
have been written in books. But not a
college boy could match stories with
Phil De Lancey, and few wanderers
there were who could tell him any
thing new about Mexico. Also, wher
1t came to popular songs, he knew
both the woods and the tune. So h,
was much H. demand, and Don Jual
passed many drinks across the bar be
cause Of him.
In all such festivities the two pard
ners stayed together; Bud, with
broad, indulgent grin, listening to tn,
end, and Phil, his eyes alight Will
liquor and good cheer, talking an,
laughing far into the night.
Outside the winter winds were still
cold and the Mexicans went wrappe,
to the eyebrows; but within the merr,
company was slow to quit, and Phi
making up for the lonely month
when he had entirely lacked an aud

But on the evening after their spa
Bud sat off to one side, and even Phil
sprightly and ventriloQuistic converse
ton with the-little-gir l-behind-the-do
called forth only a ~feeting smile.
Bud was thinking, and when er
gagged In that arduous occupation eve
the saucy little girl behind the doc
could not beguile him.
But, after he had studied 1t all on
and come to a definite conclusion, h
did not deliver an ultimatum. The ole
good-natured smile simply cam bac
to his rugged face; he rolled a cigal
cite; and then for the rest Of the eve
ming he lay back and enjoyed tn
chow. Only in the morning, whe

On June IA, TIT, the continental con-
gress voted that the flag of the thir-
teen United States should consist OF
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, the union being thirteen stars,
white in blue field, representing a
new constellation. In 1894, Vermont
and Kentucky having been admitted
to the union, 1t was voted that new
stripe and a new star for each should
be added. The apparent design was
to continue this process Of addition
as new states came in.
In 1918, however, Tennessee, Ohio,
Louisiana, Indiana, and Mississippi
having joined the union, with Illinois,
Alabama, and Missouri knocking at
the door, 1t was decided to alter the
arrangement. In that year 1t was
voted that the stripes should be thir-
teen only. recalling the original thir-

States, "Old Glory" as 1t has lovingly

meath its protecting folds.
To the American citizen 1t stands
for sovereignty. And sovereignty to
him means more than it does to the
citizen of almost every other country,
because 1t Is vested in the people
themselves rather than in some individ-
ual who claims 1t by right of birth,
or divine will, or conquest in war. The

anxious questioning of Francis Scott

the fierce fighting of the soldier in
the last rally about the standard have
common birth.

The flag itself has been used to make
sacks for the transportation Of coal
and other merchandise.
AS the result of the efforts of the
American Flag association, which is
made up of committees representing
many patriotic societies, and of the
societies themselves, there are now
laws intended to protect the flag from
dissertation on the statute books of
nearly every state. The federal gov
eminent has also forbidden the use of
the flag In registration of trademarks,
and the United States Supreme court
has affirmed the constitutionality of
flag legislation by the different states
and the right to make criminal all acts
of dissertation.
That 1t should have been necessary
70 obtain decision from the Supreme
court regarding the constitutionality
of such measures may seem curious.
The value of the use of the flag for
commercial purposes was thought by
a vender OF cigars to be sufficient to
warrant him in carrying d case
brought against him under the flag
law of New York through all the
courts of the state, from the lowest to
the highest. The result was the de-
cision that part of the law was I'M
constitutional. When an effort was
made the succeeding year to have the
law amended to meet the flaw a com
mittee of a bar association, without
the authority of the association, OPP
posed the passage of the amendment
at the solicitation of one of the mem
bers who had represented the Cigar
makers association. Although this
measure was fought up to the very
desk of the governor, 1t was placed
upon the statute books.
Today In a large majority OF the
states the flag may be used for only
such purposes as are in keeping with
its great significance. The laws are
not uniform, and therefore there is
more license regarding the use of the
flag in some states than In others. In
New York 1t is against the law to put
any lettering or-design upon the ma
tional or state flag, or to sell or give
away or even possess any article Of
merchandise or vehicle for the trans
portation OF merchandise which has
upon 1t representation of either flag.
1t is also against the law TO mutilate
or deface in any way, trample upon,
defy or cast contempt by word or act
upon these emblems.
Flag day is observed with greater
confederation with each passing year

The recognition of this anniversary
and, in large part, the growing rever-
ence for the flag which Flag Day ex-
ercises are intended to inspire are Of
recent birth. 1t was IS years ago that
the American Flag association was
formed for the purpose of REFRESHING
the many insulting uses to which COM
mercialism had submitted the flag and
to stimulate a greater respect for 1t.
At that time the flag and pictures of
1t were employed to do duty as an ad-
vance agent for every conceivable kind
of merchandise. 1t was used to adver-
tise bicycles, book beer, whisky, cam
brio, sour mash, tar soap, chewing
gum, theaters, tobacco, tea, awnings,
breweries, cigars, charity balls, cuff
buttons, dime museums, door mats,
fireworks, furriers, living pictures, pic
mic grounds, patent medicines, pool
rooms, prize fights, restaurants, roof
gardens, real estate agencies, sample
rooms, shoe stores, saloons, shooting
