FOURTH OF JULY WARNING

The state fire marshal has issued
the following warning regarding the
Fourth of July, which is well worth
our attention:
There seems to be no question but
what the Fourth of July will be cele-
iasm than ever, this being the result
of the ending of the war and doing
honor to the returning soldiers, most
of whom will be home by that time.
Realizing the tremendous popular
enthusiasm which will give vent to
itself on this day, and with no idea
of discouraging proper expression of
the great patriotic impulse underlying
it, State Fire Marshal w. N. Van
Camp earnestly appeals to the people
of the state to keep this enthusiasm
within safe and sane channels.
During the past few years, great
strides have been made in South Da-
kota looking towards a safe and sane
celebration of our Independence Day,
with the result that the toll of death
and MANNED and the number of fires
have been speedily decreased
AS result of the glorious victory
achieved by our boys, the temptation
TO go to the extremes will undoubt-
edly be great this year as the slim
ulus to celebrate was never greater.
Therefore, the need of restraint is
correspondingly gerat and as the les
son of restraint was well learned dur
ing the war, let everyone continue 10
apply it in times of peace
Reports coming into the office of
TIE State Fire Marshal would indicate
score of localities throughout the
state are already planning for great
community observance of the day,
with rousing homecoming celebra-
tions for the homecoming fighting
men as big feature. These events
will be marked by a parade, band con
certs, addresses by prominent speak
ers and programs of great variety and
community display Of fire works
Fire Marshal Van Camp strongly
indorses such Observanccs, and he
urges city officials, commercial clubs
and such organizations as are accus-
toned TO take the initiative in these
matters in their respective communi-
ties, to make the day one long 10 be
remembered. Certainly no time is
more OppOrtune for community
Fourth Of July celebration than this,
when every city. village and town de-
sires to honor all of its fighting heroes,
but great care should be exercised in
the handling of fire works, fire crack
ers, torpedoes, roman candles. ky
rockets and other kindred displays,
and the utmost caution should BE- OBJ
served by those having the handling
of fire works in charge
1t is the hope and desire Of the Fire
Marshal that when these great cele-
Abrations are over that we can look
back and point with pride TO the fact
that not one single life has been sac
rificed or one building destroyed by
fire
Let us keep the Fourth of July
"carelessness" under the ban. Let us
not revive the casualty lists and need
less fires. This can be done by safe
and sane Fourth of July celebration.

Within ten minutes after an appli
cation Of Danderlne you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
Will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes--but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dam
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect Is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
un appearance of abundance; an In
comparable lustre, softness ard luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair Is as pretty and soft as any
that 1t has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it If you will just try little Dan
derine.-Adv.

propose.

Captain Elisha seemed pleased, but
he shook his head.

That evening the captain made a
definite proposal to Stephen. 1t was
briefly that, while not consenting to
the latter's leaving college. he did con-
slider that a trial of the work In a
brokers office might be good thing.
Therefore II the young man wished he
could enter the employ of friend of
Sylvester and remain during July and
August.
The novel. the wonderful tale which
Captain Elisha was certain would
Gilpin observer., 1919-01-09

make its author famous, was finished
that very day in June when Stephen
came back from New Haven.
The advance copy, the first one, was
ready early in September, and the au-
thor. of course, brought 1t Immediately
to his friends. They found the dedica-
ton especially interesting, "To G. w.
and e. W., consulting specialists at
the literary clinics, with grateful ac-
acknowledgements" Probably Captain
Elisha was never prouder of anything,
even his first command, than Of that
dedication.
And the story, when at last 1t appear
ed for sale, was almost from the be-
ginning a success, and, most important
of NIL perhaps, 1t sold and continued to
sell. There was something in it, its
humanity, its simplicity, its clearly
marked characters, which made hit.
Pearson no longer needed to seek pub
fishers; they sought him. His short
stories were bid for by the magazines,
and his prices climbed and climbed.
He found himself suddenly planted In
the middle of the highway to prosper
ity.
The novel being out of the way and
Its successor not yet far enough ad-
vanced in plot or general plan for much
discussion, the 'literary clinics" were
no longer as frequent. But Pearson's
visits to the Warren house were not
discontinued. All summer long he had
been coming out once and usually twice
week. Captain Elisha had told him
not to stand on formality, to come any
time, and he did. On most of these
occasions he found the captain at
home, but If only Caroline was there
he seemed quite contented. The cap
tain was planning a glorious Thanks
giving. At least it would be glorious
to him, for he intended spending the
day and several days at his own home
in South Denboro. He would not leave
Caroline. of course; she was going with
him. Steve would be there, though he
would not come until Thanksgiving
day itself. Sylvester also would be of
the party. He seemed delighted at the
opportunity. Pearson was asked and
had accepted. His going was so far a
settled thing that he had commissioned
Captain Elisha to purchase stateroom
for him on the Fall river boat, for, of
course, the captain would not consider
their travelling the entire distance by
train. A day or two later Pearson an
nounced that he had decided not to
go.
Hey" Captain Elisha could scarce,
ly believe he had heard correctly. "You
can't go-to South DenboroT

here! Let me look at you"

close to the lighted window of the sta.
tion.
"Humph" he grunted after mo-
scrutiny. you've made up
your mind; can see that Have you
told Caroline? Does she know?"
Pearson smiled, bur there was little
mirth in the smile. ~ think she agrees
with me that 1t is best" he observed.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Rejection.


w up and Captain Elisha and his
wards moved to the little house
in Westchester county, Annie came with
them. Mrs. Moriarty came once week
to do the laundry work. Caroline acted
as a sort of inexperienced, but willing,
supervising housekeeper.
The house had been procured through
the kind interest of Sylvester. Caro-
line took domestic science course at
q university. She could not quite un-
derstand how ner uncle retained the
valuable paintings Of their old home.
One day at her request her uncle told
her the true story Of Mr.. Pearsons re-
lations with her father. Caroline wrote
to Pearson apologizing for her conduct,
but she got her uncles promise not to
invite Pearson to call. However, the
captain forgot all about 1t, and Pearson
appeared. As he turned in at the front
walk Caroline came out of the door.
They met face to face.
1t was most embarrassing situation,
particularly for Caroline, yet, with
feminine resourcefulness, she dissem-
bled her embarrassment to some extent
and acknowledged his stammered "Good
afternoon, Miss Warren" with a cool,
almost cold, How do you do, Mr.. Pear
sonw which chilled his pleasure at see
ing her and made him wish devoutly
that he had not been such a fool as to
come. However, there he was, and he
hastily explained his presence by telling
her Of the captains invitation for that
day, how he had expected to meet him
at the station and. not meeting him,
had walked up to the house.
"Is he in?" he asked.
No, Captain Elisha was not in. He
had gone to see sailboat man. Not
hearing from his friend, he concluded
the latter would not come until the next
day. "He will be SO sorry" said Car
Oline.
He was turning to go, but she stop
ped him.
"You mustn't 60, Mr.. Pearson" she
said. "You must come in and wait.
Captain Warren will be back soon, I'm
sure"
Pearson was reluctant, but he could
think OF no reasonable excuse. So he
entered the house, removed his overcoat
and hat and seated himself in the iv-
ing room to await the captains return.
They were deep in the discussion of
the novel when Captain Elisha walk
ed into the living room. He was sur
prised. stating his feelings at their
mildest, to find them together. but he
did not express his establishment.
Pearson did not take the next train
nor the next. Instead, he stayed for
dinner and well into the evening, and
when he did go It was after prompt
acceptance Of the captains invitation
to come again In a mighty little
WHILE"
Pearson came again q week later and
thereafter frequently. The sessions
with Cap'n Jim, the hero of the novel, |
and his associates were once more reg |
ular happenings, TO be looked forward |
to and enjoyed by the three.
IN June two very important events
took place. The novel was finished,
and Stephen, his sophomore year at an
and, came home from college. He had
been invited by some classmates to
spend a part Of his vacation with them
ON the Maine coast, and his guardian
had consented to his doing so But

do next. He wished more than any

viewed the little army and committed
the command Of the expedition to Gen
Henry Lee, Of Virginia It had been
Washington's intention to lead the
army In person. but he was called back
to Philadelphia to attend the conven-
ing Of congress and left General Ham
ilton as his deputy, giving instructions
to Lee to march each division across
the Allegheny mountains, meet on the
other side and to act vigorously
afainst the insurgents as circum-
stances might require. It was Wash
ington's announced policy ito deter
mine once for all whether small

dictate to the whole union"
BY the time the two detachments OF
the federal army had crossed the
mountains and united at Parkinson's
Ferry, the seat of the tnsurrecuon,
panic seized the revolutionists and
Bradford's army melted away, and In
few days the last remnants OF re-
distance had disappeared. The leaders
were arrested and Is of them sent to
Philadelphia, where they were march

were tried for treason and convicted
but were subsequently pardoned by
Washington.
Thus ended Americas first struggle
with the spirit of bolshevism. While
it was q war of very little military
prestige, its outcome was attended
with tar reaching political significance.
It was the first test of the young ma
ton arrayed against internal forces
which might have destroyed 1t, and 1t
made a triumphant demonstration OF
its ability to take care OF Its own
radical elements. Washington's firm
and vigorous policy received hearty
Endorsement throughout the country
and the red orators and fementers OF
anarchy soon found their occupation
gone.
