A RRAL FOUnTII OP JULY FAITHFULLY
rORTJlAYKU.
"HarH.r Clcltmiil Is going tip in thebnlloon
on the Fourth of July "
The speaker was LI ml Icy Custls, 14 years
old. Ills only lienrcr wns his sister Ailn,
who had tho icpulntlon of being tho liatul
MiDKt mid proudest young lndy In tho some
what uppish Mclety of tho solf satisfied and
prosperous town of Lafayette,
She received tho news with mi Incredulous
sneer.
The boy was well awnre that his nows was
d 1st ju to fill to his silent nuditnr Tor that
reason ho was determined to comcl belief,
IIo had the proofs of his talo In his pocket,
svnd hu Intended to enjoy to tho full tho dis
playing of It presently Didn't ho know all
about her overwhelming pride, her lovoof
tho convent loiml thlngsot lifoand herhatrel
of nil that uns original or xx.-ulinr! Ilnd
he not hiintelf suffered because of her preju
dices f When had he over attempted nuy thing
ouUIdo tho grim limits of tho commonplace,
that she had not rcbukod him and inndo hint
fool small and ashamed? And didn't ho
know exactly why hit nows about Harper
Clelland nnd tho balloon was hateful to her!
lie was no fool, not ho. Couldn't hoseoby
certain sciitimwitnl stniws which had been
flying around recontly just how tho wind
was blowing? Tho indications wcro towards
a matrimonial harbor for his sister and Har
per Clelland, or he was no prophet. And
wasn't ft fun allvo to seo Ada wlnco at tho
Erospcct of tho wholo tomi seeing her sweot
eart go up In a balloon like a circus mnnf
Revcugo for many a rebuke lay within his
hand, or rather his pocket.
"Don't bellovo It, sis, do you!" continued
'theboy sarcastically, his eyes dancing with
wicked delight, his mischievous llttlo soul
rejoicing over tho "clincher" ho was about to
draw forth. "Couldn't bo true, of course.
Mr. Clelland, Miss Custls' beau, is too great
swell to make a clown of himself, Isn't hot
As Miss Custls' beau he has too much dignity
to sustain to dream of furnishing nmuvment
for a Fourth of July crowd. That's your
opinion, no doubt, Miss Custls; but It Isn't
mine. Harier Clelland Is neither a fool nor
a coward. And ho is rich enough and popu
lar enough to do anything. I have thought
at times that he was something of a fool to
be so fond of you, for as sure as snakes you
don't appreciate tho stuff that's in that fel
1 w. He's clear grit. IIo Isn't afraid to slap
11 Lafayette In tho face by doing something
that rich men's sons wouldn't dare to do no,
not ono In n thousand of 'cm. I hate rich
men's sous, it I am one myself. Nearly all
tho boys that have anything in them are
poor, and blamed If I don't feel sort of Insig
nificant when I'm with them. If It wasn't
that mother would take It hard I shouldn't
caro if Custls benlor failed. Ungrateful, ant
If Not a bit. I bellove It would be good for
all of us, you particularly. Perhaps you
would then find out which ono of your beaux
was worth having. I'm do fogy, I am an
advanced thinker, if you please; I believe In
lota of new notions."
"You seem to have made remarkable prog
ress," said Ada In Icy tone.
"That's neither here nor there," said th
boy. "It is Harcr Clelland that I am speak
ing of. He Is going up in the balloon, sur
enough. I was around everywhere today,
and heard all about it. Contract's signed,
and he's under training. Professional aero
nr.ut hero already. I saw tho balloon, flabby
old thing; looks like an elephant that had
ooflapsed. Uut here's the wholo story In The
BeGOTd."
"HKIIE'S Til WHOLE STOHY IN THE IIKCOHD."
With an Impish gleam of pleasure in his eyes
the boy drew a crisp copy of tho city's most
Important Journal from his pocket and read
aloud the Hues of a tremendous "horse head"
which told in tho boldest and blackest faced
typo In Lafayette that the young and hand
some Harper Clolland would inako an ascen
sion from the court houso yard on tho Fourth
of July In tho balloon "W. B. Larkel," named
In honor of tho editor of Tho Record, who,
with Mr. Clelland, from motives of patriot
ism, will pay tho expenses of this, the city's
first balloon ascension.
Llndley read the blazing head linos in a
Yolce that admitted of no furthor doubt on
tho part of his hearer. Then followed a col
umn or moro of double leaded particulars of
tho highly dramatlo ovent, as It was to bo, In
The Record's most conspicuous columns.
Young Custis read every lino of It aloud with
diabolical joy, not umnlxod with genuine ad
miration for tho hero of the day.
Miss Custls heard it through In sllonco, but
her fupu grow very hard nnd whlto, and her
dnrkejcibhuitl with wrath. Then, with a
confmptuoiH laugh, which gurgled away
Into n snatch of song, to prove her Indif
ference, blio went out of the room. Hut her
young tormentor was not deceived. "It
grind her lllu everything," husuld to him
self, and the thought teemed to givo him
extraordinary satisfaction, so high and flue
a thing Is brotherly uffectiou nt II
Tim whole town talked of young Clelland
thatuveulug. Tho richest, handsomest and
most popular young gentleman In tho com
munity -It wu.s gonernlly admitted that ho
could do almost anything not positively
criminal without lowing custo but a Iwlloou
ascension wan a llttlo too much for tho "best
kx1o' to forgtvo Lafujetto was not scl
eutlllo in Its taste. It rotlior leaned to tho
ology, nnd Imlloous wero then Mippofced to
owe their origin to theology's moot jiowerful
foe Certain ten table circles dcubted tho
propriety of letting their Juvenile members
nee tho uvil thing go up. They scented cou
I tumlimtlon In the air. Nothing but the lb
tvnwof tho Immortal Fourth could mitigate
' wide a departure from decorum. Hut
I .lltoi ty looses her stays on that hlsturladny
I nnd breathes with case, nnd everybody tae
til v ogreo that sliu has a right to compel t
licrxelf fantastically If ho chooes to do so.
Home of the innt rous of lnfa)cttflald thnt
if lliuper t'lellaud's mother was alto this
balloon esonpaili' of lil would never late
place Hut ho had had his own way always.
Ills father was traveling In i:unK, and was
I he kind of innn any way who never iiired n
iiivellng for the opinion of others, If he
was In the right And wasn't llnlver Just
, like lilmf FcitrlcxM to thn paint of reckless
) ness ho never counted the cost, never oven
i thought of what "they" would sny Hut
was ho not, with all his recklraiiroM, the
1 manliest, most noble hearted young man in
tho wholo state! Ho geutlonnd Courteous to
tho huiublo n well as to tho rich, yet always
so bravo and strong The most polished nnd
best Informed of all tho beaux known to La
fayette, too. Tho younger youths looked up
to him In envy and admiration, for he was a
graduato of ono of tho best colleges and had
traveled abroad, two glorious achievements
not common in Iifayetto In that early day
And ho certainly hail n taste for science. As
a civil engineer ho had already made n fnlr
start. Tho few who know him liest said thnt
Ills promised balloon ascension was not In
spired by any vulgar love of notoriety Ho
wanted to make the trip lecause of tho ex
erieiice, nnd because ho was anxious to
treat Lnfayotto to a novolty on tho patriots'
own day. It would cost him over so much
monoy, too, they said; for ho and Mr Lar
kell, cf Tho Record, wcro payn.: f ir It '!.
So tho excellent people of Lafaj Mto talked
1 it over, lamented It, hoicd ho would chnngo
his mind nnd soon; but ho was too great a
social figure for any ono of them to snub,
even If he went up In a balloon every day.
Tho Custls homestead stood on n hill over
looking tho town. That evening as Hanger
Clelland was walking toward it lie caino sud
denly upon a man and woman resting under
i a treo at tho foot of tho long hill. Their fig
ures wero but dimly outlined In tho twilight
, shadows, but ho saw that they wero not of
his town. They weio gypsies.
Three or four stars gllmmcicd In tho
heavens, and tho disc of the full moon roso
slowly over tho edgo of tho horlroti, like the
, sunny face of a chubby child peeping over a
wall. A night bit d shrieked and flow from
the treo as tho young man approached.
Tho woman leaned ngnlust the tree, bars
headed. Tho moonlight shono upon her dark
i face, in which blazed a pair of eyes llko stars.
A bright shawl wns wound about her
, shoulders and nalst, her arms were half
baro, nnd her short skirt revealed n pair of
shajiely ankles and trim but dusty shoes.
Tho man, all frlngo and color, lay upon the
i ground at her feet
A magnificent stago picture, thought
I Clelland, as ho approached. Tho man sprang
I to his feet with a noiseless, cot llko move
ment, and In very bail English asked Clel
land to tell him tho name of the best doctor
In town. As ho spoke ho pointed up tho hill,
where a train of gorgeous wagons containing
tho gypsy's pooplo was slowly descending.
Clelland was of tho order of men who are at
home any whero, and make everylxxly else at
oaso In their presence. At onco he became a
figure in tho scene quite In interior nnd ex
terior harmony with the others. Who so
well as ho know how to avoid showing any
astonishment at sight of tho unexpected
strangers? Who had so much delicacy In all
relations with others? Who so entirely with
out that curiosity of manner which Is the
expression of Ineradicable vulgarity?
The gypsy asked about the town, tho roads,
the country, and wondered If there could be
any objection to his people camping for a
few days In the grovo to the left. Clelland
h was the owner of tho land, and he at once
gave tho necessary permission. Then tho
gypsy told him of the sick man In the first
wagon, and how vain had boon all the medi
cal knowledgo of his tribe in his case, how
they wanted tho best physician that could
be had as speedily as possible, and thoy
had the gold to pay his price, too.
The wagons rolled near. The man went to
the roadside and directed them to tho site of
the camp, and repeated the information be
' hflfl tlisfr. nhtaftlnfl ntwiilf. Mia Jmtrr
lUtherto tho woman had leaned against tho
tree In sllonco. Now she stopped forward,
saying In good English;
"You are so kind. May I not show you
that we ore thankful? Let me take your
hand and tell your fortune something good,
I hope. You dosorvo It."
She was young and comely. Her voice was
low, her w ords very sweet.
"If it pleases you," ho said, extending his
hand.
She took It and led him out of tho shadow
of tho treo, whero the moon shono over them
in Its full glory, for already ft had climbed
abovo tho horizon fence and was looking
down at them with a big half comio, half
tod srallo. Tho wagons rumbled Into the
grovo and the gyy mail returned and
threw himself on tho ground under tho treo.
Tho dark eyed jwjlmlst bent her head over
the young man's hand and looked at it In
tently for several tntnutos. Thon suddonly
gazing Into his frank eyes, she said:
"I am sorry that so brave and gentle a
heart has not n fairer fortune. Your star of
luck is even now clouding. To-night you will
lose your love. Sho will meet you with anger
and will part from you with bitter words,
which will never bo Bweetenod in this life."
The prophecy of ovll always moves us, in
spite of our skepticism. Who shall say that
words are not potent for good and ill?
"Not now, but In the futuro," continued tho
palmist, "you will bless her anger. A better
lovo will yet bo yours indeed, is yours iiow,
though you know it not. Before you lies a
Tolloy of Pain, into which tho hand of Folly
"TO-NIOHT YOU WILL L08K YOUIt LOVK."
III load you, nnd out of which you will bo
conducted by tho Angel of Truth, On your
twenty-ninth birthday you will bo tho victim
of uti accident which will color your wholo
Hfo. Ho careful! He carcfull Hut at lust
out of sorrow will come peuoo, out of disap
tolntmeut, huppiuchs."
At this moment two shadows fell on tho
white sutid of tho road, nnd In u second moro
tho figures that wist thorn tauscd beside tho
palmlift ami her bubject One was Net tin
Haukard, u young girl who earned her bread
by sowing ut tho houses of tho rich. The
other was Llndley Custls, tho Irrepressible
brother of MU Ada. Ho was ecoi ting Net
(lo home after her day's worh was done, and
loomed rather proud of his mission. Ho was
her fervent admirer, nnd often told his sister
(lint If Nettle llanknrd hnd half n chnni'O she
would "throw her (Ada) in tho shnde" In tho
matter of beauty nnd jwpulnrlty.
Clelland greeted her with gonlnl courtesy.
The gypsy woman looked nt her with de
rides! interest, Tho young man laughingly
told her that ho hud Just had his fortuuo told,
and that ho was to bo unlucky In lovo nnd
have n lot of trouble on his twenty-ninth
birthday
IIo did not see, but tho star eyed gypsy
did, that tho dreamy, yearning face of tho
young girl grow rigid and whlto as sho
listened.
"When Is your twenty-ninth birthday, Mr.
Clelland I" ipiestioned Nettle, with tho sim
plicity of n child, but with eyes full of In
tense Interest,
"When? Oh, In n fow days on tlm Fourth
of July I was born n patriot, you seo. Tho
snlrlt of lndciendoiico comes natural lo mo."
The girl looked at him with an exju-wslon'
In which theio was greater anguish than
words could translate. Hut he did not seo It,
As Nettlo walked away tho gypsy woman,
with her eyes fixed dreamily iion her, said
softly to herself i "We meet them at tho foot
of weary hills and In lonoly bywnys and
know them not. Yet, as surely as tho com
ing of tho morning, will Iki tho awakening,
and we shall know them ns our own."
Two bonis Inter Harcr Clelland was leav
ing tho door of tho Custls home. Tho hand
some face of Miss Custls was whlto with
wrath, as she bade him good night and
good-by A fow paces from tho stcw ho
turned and looked at her as sho stood on tlm
balcony, her white gown glinting through
tho green vines, her dal It eyes burning with
linger ills heart swelled with pain. Ho
loved her well, but she had told him to go
nwny and cimio back no moro. Tho balloon
was tho enemy that had douo this. Clolland
emphatically nnatlienuitlred It ns ho stood
there, even while remaining loyal to It,
"I am not to come again?" ho said Inquir
ingly, hoping, lover like, thnt sho would re
lent ut tho last minute, "Wo aro to lw
nothing to each other hereafter!"
"Nothing," sho answered, with tho quiet
emphasis pcciillur to heartless people.
Ho walked nway burling mental Invectives
nt tho balloon, and curses, they say, rebound
against tho ono who utters them. There Is n
philosophy abroad now which holds that a
curse, even an unspoken ono, damages Its ob
ject, but damages its uttcier still moro.
Preparations for tho gicat day went on
briskly. SccchcH, music, a dinner, n proces
sion, the firing of camion nnd, most of nil,
the balloon, were to inako that particular
Fourth of July glorious and memorable.
Patriotism was to walk forth in continental
purity. Frocdom was to shriek as much as
It pleased. Tho eaglo was to soar, and Inde
pendence to reuow Its youth.
"NOTHINQ TO F.ACI1 OTHEIl HEnBAFTKnl"
The morning of tho Fourth came at last,
though half the male children of Lafayette
doubted that it ever would. Citizens of the
surrounding country chased the sun Into tho
town. Young nnd old they came, deter
mined that nothing so fantastic, not to say
demoniac, as a balloon should leave the oarth
without their seeing it. All went to look at
tho Irreligious thing as It lay a limp moss In
tho court houso yard, guarded by tho pro
fessional aeronaut, and hovered over by
swarms of boys.
How exciting was tho business of Inflating
It Every other attraction lost interest as
tho work went on. Drinking glosses grow
dry as powder horns on tho lemonado stands.
Tho dealers In ginger broad and early apple
pies rocklessly left their posts In subordinate
hands nnd drew near the throng of patrlotlo
humanity which surrounded tho court house
yard llko a broad and breathing wall.
Tho balloon, fastened to Its guy ropes, and
receiving tho gas which was to boar It up
ward, was sighing and floundering llko an
Impatient animal, anxious to bo off. At
last all was ready. The ropes wero put Into
tho hands of stalwart patriots, five and six
to each rope. Thon tho professional balloon
ist who had "bossed tho Job" addressed the
breathless populaco in the feollngless and
penetrating voice of u ring master.
Harper Clelland then stepped out from a
'group of Interested assistants, nodded right
nd loft to his friends, gracefully touched bis
bat to tho people and sprang into tho bal
loon's basket.
At this point all Lafayette opened Its
throat concertedly and expressed its patriot
ism and admiration. Tho cheer was mighty
and prolonged. Nettle Bankard, sitting on
tlie door step of her mother's tiny cottage,
looking upward in expectant agony, heard it
and knew that the dreadful hour had coma
Nover before had she bo clearly realized that
tho body was tho prison of tho spirit. She
longed unutterably for wings, that sho might
fly to that fearful thing which was bearing
her heart's hero away from tho earth into
danger and crhaps deatli.
Secretly, from her humblo sphere, sho
looked up to, loved and worshiped tho daring
young man who was to sail Into Baco "to
mako nn Amei lean holiday." Not n soul that
breathed knew of this ponderous secret.
Tho mnn sho loved did not even dream of It.
And yet, In her heart, sho holleved that some
how, In soma silent mysterious way, her lovo
would go faith and blow its object. Who
can prove that her belief, bom of tho spirit
which creates and (topics worlds, was not
founded uou uu eternal truth?
The sllonco of death fell over tho crowd us
tho order wan given to clear tho ropes and let
tho ballixin go upwurd. Tho wonderful enr
iIoro of thu air t,hot up, but not straight to
tho sky The over excited men ut ono of tho
ropes held on wnne ecouils ufter the others
had let go This made the balloon Inich

Btandliig erect ho waved his linnd gnyly to
thu sen of upturned faces. Then tho great
ball Mkivo him trembled, lurched nnd began
tofnlter In lis Might, Tho pooplo watched
him with baled Invntlk Tho stoutest of them
groaned, the weakest wept. Their ktmlned
eyes saw the balloon limp through thu nlr,
now falling, then sighing nud rising n llttlo
again, tlieu flouudei lug to tho light or tho
left. A mile east of tlm town It lost nil Its
life, nnd with n sudden collapse sunk toward
tho earth Hiiishlug oer tho tops of trees,
It trailed nlT Into empt) space nud was lost to
sight,
They found tho amateur aeronaut lying
crushed and llfclelmitu a pnstuio Held,
He was was quite dead, they said,

vernacular of tho place. And they put
ropier cents on his oyes, ns was the custom
of tho day, for all this occurred many n year
ngo. The "oldest Inhabitant" told me tho
story And they covered his crushed liody
with tho whlto sheets of death.
Half the Inhabitants of Lafnycttfl wero on
tho sot almost as soon ns Clelland was
found, Among the number wns Nettle
Hunkard, who had fairly flown over the
ground, urged on by lou, which In tho mo
ment of danger forgot to lie shy. Nobody
wondered why sho was there, slneo almost
everybody was there.
It so hnp)oiicd that ns tho unfortunate day
nane.l sho stood on the orch looking Into
the room of death then left solitary. As shs

looked with tho gaze of tho soul rather than
tho eyes, sho fancied that tho long figure on
tho board moved. It w ns a fancy, of course,
sho told herself. Hut surely tho white sheet
hook. In a liouiid the girl was in tho room
tearing thu covei lug from tho face of the
man she lo cd.
Thon was there an excitoment grentor than
that aroused by his fall from thu clouds, for
lol ho was nlivo. Yes, alive; but crushed and
mangled In liody most pitiably. When tho
nows reached Iufayetto tho grateful town
expressed Its Joy by filing cannon nud send
ing up tho sky rockots which had boon for
blddou when tho nmuteur balloonist was sup
posed to Ik) dead.
Bod ns the accident was for Clelland, it
had Its dhino uses. Hut for It ho nover
would hau married Nettle Bankard, an
event In his Hfo which has blessed him ever
since. Tho wedding took place tho next day
after tho accident, being tho direct result of
it, in fact. Clelland road tho lovo In the
girl's eyes when ho camo back to conscious
ness. Seeing him suffering, sho forgot to
hldo.it. Remembering that he was rich and
Isho poor, and behoving that ho could benefit
her by his wealth, and also that bis days
were too fow to be a caro upon her, ho asked
the privllcgo of Itecomlng her hustuuid.
fivon the long, long months that passed
before his broken body was mado whole
wero not wasted. He thought out an inven
tion which brought him still greater wealth.
Better still, ho thought out a nobler philoso
phy of life. Guided by an inner light, uowly
born in his soul, ho expended for others tht
money his gonitis had earned. IIo is aa
elderly man now, as i-t'.rlotlo as over, still a
resident of Lafayette, and tho greatest phil
anthropist in tho state.
Ada Custis married a rich and respectable
prostdont of u savings bank. Ho had never
done anything so disreputable as to "go up
in n balloon," thereforo sho felt that her
prldo was safe from mortification. So It was
for several years; but ono day tho bauk
closed suddonly nnd tho banker hurrlod off
to Europo without bidding his family or
friends adieu, and has never been heard of
in Lafayette since, Ada and her children
would have hnd a sorry time of It had It not
boon for her brothor Llndley, who "turned
out splendidly," tho peoplo of Lafayette soy.
You havo heard of him, I am sure, ono of
tho broadest inludod men In tho country and
ono of tho best. Hut lie Is quite as radical
us ho promised to be nt fourteen.
