 Nothing nothing! Go ahe d, Roberta"
 Roberta wasn't at all convinced, but, keeping one eye on her father, she placed the firecracker on the grass, a little way off, secured a match from Harry, struck it, lighted the fuse and ran. So did Cecil and Helen run. But not Harry. He just sat on the side of the box and-smiled.
 The fuse burned and spluttered and then went out
 Don't go near itl" cautioned Cecil "It might go off! That's when they're the most dangerous"
 But I want it to explode!" Roberta insisted.
 As bold as you please, Master Harry climbed out of his box and marched straight up to the firecracker. He picked it up and-pulled off the top
 And there, as they all could plainly see, was-well, the firecracker was filled with little candies, red and blue and white and green and pink-and wasn't real firecracker at alli"
 And he laughed uproaBiously at them and waved his hand at Papa on the porch; and Papa waved back and called to them to ask how they en- joyed the surprise. Helens firecracker contained candy. and so did Cecils and Harry's.
 So, you see. Chinese firecracker mer- chant Is a pleasant game-at least when it's played that way.

yes they do have them in China, yes indeed-they call them coolies or something like that, think"
 Cecil smiled indulgently and seated himself on the edge of the box
 Harry reached down and unwrapped his parcel. Presently he strengthened up, with tin pan and a piece of kindling wood in his hand. He beat upon the bottom of the pan and gave vent to a series of queer sounds which, he imagined, sounded something like Chinese must sound Then he wound up with:
 Me seHee fiierworks-me sellee shootee clackers-yoi = vol" - bang bang and buy cheapee" And he whacked the tin pan a dozen times with the piece of wood
 Nice ladee. you buy my f1ier- works?" he continued. "All-lightee, Here slave-girlie, you takee this fiier- clacker for your mistress"
 Again he reached into the parcel and fished out a big firecracker, which he handed to Roberta It. must have been all of six or seven inches long, and it was fat and thick and mur- derous looking.
 Another dive into the box, and he came up with one nearly twice as long, which he handed to Helen. Then, one for Cecil and, finally, one for himself.
 All the while Papa was watching from the porch and smiling.
 Roberta looked toward him and whispered, "What'll he say if I set this

seemed to be some kind of secret between himself and Papa.
 The children were curious to see what was in the parcel, but he wouldn't let them.
 Now, Helen," he said, you sit down on the grass and pretend you are a Chinese lady come to buy your fire crackers for the Fourth of"
 The Chinese do not celebrate the Fourth of July objected Cecil promptly.
 Harry glared at him. Well then, !" he said, shes buying her frecrack- CTS to celebrate whatever they do eel ebrate with theml I don't care what it is, but she's got to buy firecrackers. And you, Roberta, you're another Chinese la-no, you are the slave girl" He stopped and glanced at his brother Cecil out of the corner of his eye. But. apparently, Cecil didn't know whether or not they have slave girls in China. At least, he made no comment, so Harry continued:
 You are the slave-girl, Roberta, and of course you must stand behind your mistress to wait upon her. Cecil you can be my--my delivery boy-oh

 "No! No! I'll be the Chinese mer- chant" protested Helen. She didn't know what the game of Chinese mer- chant was but, on general principles, she considered it wise to speak up. Then she added, You always want to be everything, Harry. and-and it's my turn, anyway"

 He returned in a little while drag ging with him a large wooden box which had been placed in the wood shed after their father had removed the fireworks" from it. On it's side was painted in black letters the warn ng-"Fireworks Handle with care!" What is that for?" inquired Cecil.

 "I want lantern! I want lan- terni" Helen walled
 "Aw, stop that noise!" cried Harry You'll have your old lantern-only I'm running this thing and you're a regular cry-baby, you are!"
 Presently he returned from the house with four of the Japanese lan- terms Papa always hung from the roof of the porch every Fourth of July night. He also had a bamboo pole as tall as a man and a piece of wire.
 He strung the lanterns on the wire, fastened one end of it to the porch railing and the other to the pole which he stuck into the ground. Then he placed the box beside the pole and climbed into the box bearing with him a small wrapped parcel.
 He looked toward the porch, where Papa was standing watching and waved his hand at him gaily. There

 "Notkat all, and if you promise not to tell any of the girls, I'll tell you few of the games we will play when they come next Tuesday" T promise" said Lefty solemnly.
 See these questions on these cards?" asked Sue, handing one to Lefty.
 Yes. Which were the thirteen original States?' and By what person or company was each one founded?' Whats the answer?" asked Lefty. The game is to have the guests write as many correct answers as pos sibe on the cards. The one with the most correct ones wins the prize"
 What's the prize?" asked Lefty. "I'm sorry I can't compete. because I happen to know great many of the answers"
 Then you might win this book" said Sue. unwrapping book, the His tory of United States"
 "I'd love to own that, but what's the use of repining. Whats the next game?"
 "Our Presidents, it is called, and it is played in this way. Again each one gets pencil and one of these cards" said Sue, handing one to her chum to see.

JOHN ADAMS LETTER.

AH OU may not know It, but the reso- V lution that declared the American % Colonies independent of Great Britain was passed by the Continental Congress on July 2, 1776. On the 4th it was formally signed. And, con- corning this momentous occasion, John Adams, the second President of the United States, wrote letter to his wife that, fortunately preserved in his- tory, is a striking embodiment of the true spirit of that great day.
 "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America he wrote her. T am apt to believe that 1t will be cele- brated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival.
 "It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and pa- rade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells bon-fires and illuninations, from one end of this continent to the other. from this time forward forevermore!"

 Whats this one?" asked Sue, hand ing her drawing of a girl pasting a stamp on an envelope. Lefty had to give that one up and Sue said Stamp act enacted" The next picture was that of COW looking at two pens and represented the Battle of Cowpens" Then there was drawing of a lake with a pointy rock protruding from the middle This was the Battle of Stony Point" Sue had the 'Battle of Germantown" by a drawing of a town which bore this placard: This town belongs to the Germans.
