T TNCLE SAM is lat years old this Fourth of
~ July, dating from the signing of the
Declaration of Independence in 1776. In those
lat years the red-white- blue orators have
said about everything possible on the subject.
But as the years slip by the fact that
stands forth most indelibly about the Glorious
Fourth is that the men who engineered the
Declaration of Independence and later framed
the Constitution which, with the Ten Com
mandments, is the basis Of our laws, had re-
markably far-sighted vision.
Lawyers frequently comment that it is al
most uncanny how the Constitution makers
were able to see into the future and anticipate
many phases of modern life The things
they overlooked were relatively few, and prob
ably they didn't overlook at all, the 'over-
looking" being in the way their followers

his reluctant feet were propelling
him in the direction of the Town
Hall. Once he paused on a street
corner, delaying his ordeal for mo-
ment. Raising himself on his toes,
he looked over the heads of the spec
tators, who were watching the pa
rade. A detachment of boy scouts
was marching past. And at their
head, cleaner and straighter than all
the rest, marched his Gino, bearing
the colors!
Pietro's cheeks flushed with pleas

After long time Mildred sighed
and moved. A gray cat came down
the stairs, his eyes cleaning in the
dull afternoon light. He sprang to
her shoulder and she stroked him
gently; his nearness recalled a duty,
besides there was no reason for
standing there now. She must gath
er her few pitiful belongings and
go away-shef could not stand meet

where to go; she knew only that she
would go away from Greenville for
ever.
She wondered what Keith Walls, to
whom she had been engaged for four
years, would say. She would never
marry him before because she
couldn't leave Uncle Mark, and now
oh, well, she hadn't heard from
him since her uncle's death, and al

table and whispered into Pietros

swarthy skin and stumbled wildly to
his feet.
But the fat man did not abandon

rapidly, opnvincingly, and, at last, to
his great satisfaction, he saw the

An hour later, when Pietro stepped
out into the afternoon sunlight, there
was a stiletto under his shirt and
five crisp 500 bills in his pocket.

He did not sleep that night. His
mind was too crowded with plans
and the terrors of the law that await
ed him if any of those plans should
go wrong. Towards morning, how
ever, he managed to doze off into a
light slumber. When he awoke his
eyes rested on an unfamiliar object
which was hanging on the wall be-
side his bed.
1t was the portrait of man with
homely, rugged features. in which
there was a note of brooding sad
ness. Over the picture had been
draped an American flag. Before it
stood Gino, straight and tall for his
ten years, in the uniform of a boy
scout. At the foot of the bed sat
