will make the red crosses"
They we're busy the rest of the
morning. After dinner they had
their parade. The band marched
first, then the Red Cross nurses
with Mary for their leader. Next
came the soldiers. The boys who
did not have toy guns used boards
or limbs from nearby trees. Al
most everyone had small flag ex-

very tired that evening.-Glenna

(By Myrtle c. Gibson)

NY "yItAC ~. NIUsOUy
One cool summer evening, as
ten-year-old Johnny McCree sat
with his mother on their vine cover
ed porch, he decided TO ask her
something which had been pushing
him for quite while. This Is what
he asked, Mother. Why is it that
old Judge Hendricks will never
allow any 6reworks to be shot of
here in this town."
"Well. JOHNNY" she answered.
II believe Mr.. Hendricks has
very good reason for not wanting
to hear the nrecrackers. II is a
long story and / am not 50 sure
you would like to hear it,"
Eyes, Mother, do tell 1t to me:
| have always thought it was just
queerness on the part Of the old
man." cried Johnny.
"Then, perhaps l had better tell
It to y0u," and Mrs. McCree took
a long breath much to Johnny's
delight and settled himself st his,
mothers feet to hear the story Of
Judge Hendricks.
MANY years ago, when ! was
very little girl, beautiful little
baby boy came to the Hendricks
home. AS he grew older he be-
came more the sunlight Of their
home until his parents fairly idol
ICED him, doing everything in their
power to make him happy. No
words of anger or discomfort ever
passed their lips in his presence.
People saw their love for that only
child and trembled to think OF the
time when he would not have the
love and protection Of fond parents
and a good home.
"Well, on the Fourth Of July.
three days before little Robert, for
that was his name, would be six
years old. the family was out row.
ing on the lake near their home.
In some places the lake was veTs
deep and dangerous and they kept
away from these places as much
as possible. AS they passed boat
full of boys, one Of the boys care
lessly tossed a lighted firecracker
over into the Hendricks boat. They
scarcely knew how it happened,
but little Roberts dress caught
afire and as they tried to put out
the fire the boat capsised. AL
though they searched the lake
again and again the little boy was
not found until about three weeks
later. The parents never recover
ed from the blow. Three years
safterward the young mother died.
Ever since the time the baby was
drowned, Judge Hendricks has
never allowed any fireworks in the
town"
When Johnny lay down to sleep
that night he had decided to do
something to cheer the old man up
q bit.
Two evenings later. on the
Fourth Of July, Johnny with seven
Of his boy friends stole quietly to
the Hendricks house and scattered
fresh roses and lilies all over the
veranda snd about the yard. Then
beneath the window where they
knew .he old man sat broOding,
they sang softly in their young
boyish voices.
Judge Hendricks listened until
1t was finished, then he feebly
opened the window and with tears
in his eyes, thanked them for their
kindness towards him.
A few months later, just before
he Joined his wife and baby, he
asked the people in the town to
henceforth celebrate the Fourth
any way they liked and to be sure
and have a good time.

he got just about what he demanded.
Trader Bartlett married an Eski-

north. Those who do not marry call
these others "squaw men," though
there is no OpprobEium in the term.
His wife was faithful, if unde-

stitched and kept the humble home

seven seas.
To complete the measure, nature
gave him four children, in due time.
