Then half itdiir.cti of the largest llrccracker.n In the little store were selected, nud thn reat of the money wits Inid out In llrecrnck crsof ordinary slr.o "Thoy ain't ns good as the blgones," said Jnmes phlloMophlcally "but you get u heap more.'' "Do you want nny torpedoe-af" nxked the good old lady who kept the store., "Nnw," said Allien, with great scorn. "Torpedoes N only good enough for girls." Supplies having been obtained, there re mained o n I y two things to do, but these t w o wore enough to keep tho lioya busy nil day. First a safe hiding place had to bo fouud, and that waa uo on ay matter, for there were oth er boys In tho village wbc would not lies itato to plunder thorn If they b o u I d find such treasures, nml neither Al bert nor James i1M- dnrod enrry them Into hla own house. A licking wasn't so vary much, but It would not do to have the powder nnd crackers confiscated. "Say, Jim, HI toll you what," said Al bert nt lougth. "We'll tie 'cm nil together In a big buudle nnd keep it lu your barn till tonight. Then nftor nil our folks has goue to bed you fetch It over nud come under my wludow.and I'll letdown aropo nnd pull It up. You glvo mo tho whistle when you come, and I'll be nil ready." "All right," said James, nnd that wns settled. Then It remained to quarrel about whether thoy had spent the money to the host advantage, James contended that they ought to have bought some Itomnu candles, while Albert favored the thought of having skyrockets, and so earnestly did each advocate his own views that they almost emtio to blows. After some hours, however, this subject was forgotten in consideration of the still more exciting question, whether any of tho ammunition rdiould bo used thm night, or whether It should all bo kept for the Fourth, A boy has u great many things to consider ou such occasions, and It was important to decide on the bc.st way to nvold getting licked, and at tho same time got nil the good out of that doltni. Finally it wns decided that it wns best to wait till morning it Is a most interesting nud Instructive thing to notice how things thnt wem to ba tho most irrolovcnt nml Inconsequent sometimes work together towam the most astonishing results. In this case, If It had not been for a hole in Mr, Whltuker's vest pocket, a splinter, a penknife nnd a dent little white Auger; and If Albert hadn't oarried off two spools of cotton from Mag-JTo-bwurti. onsKet tne day before, It would probabjy have But this Is a little too fast. All went ou na the boya hod planned It until Albert went to hla room to wait for !nuM. To h sim.OnnrcM Whtttttlr-,n,t finger may bo or may not bo a matter of itm portnnco. It depends nuclrcumstnuccH.

Just before ho did so Albert apoko to himself again, "Goshl" ho said, "what a fool n feller is to kiss n gal's handl If he wants to kiss her, why don't ho kiss her In tho mouth? She'd n good deal druthor he would." Very possibly George Whlttnkcr did not know this. Ho let go her baud with n llttlo sigh, nnd slipped tho penknife into Ills vest pocket. And the penknife slipped right through and fell on the ground. Maggie saw It fall nnd told him nbout It, nml ho Itmv.tl gated things, discovering thnt tho lining nnd pocket were both torn. "Well, there," said he, "thnt accounts fur It. I lost n silver dollar last night. It oat havo slipped through that hole." MVou must I live II mended right away," said Maggie, with womanly promptness. "Come back In the sitting room." So thoy went back, Georgo nothing loth, and found old Mr, Wilson there rending and smoking Ills pipe. Ho did not object to tlio courtship thnt wits golnxLotb.bi.t on the .ontniry approved it thoroughly, but you would never catch him going to lied until Maggie wns safe in her own room. Ho looki'd up Inquiringly when they en tered tho root i, nnd Mngglo begnn with en tlrely unnecessary confusion to explain what hod happened, Mr. Wilson did not talk much, but what he did say waa generally to tho point. Moreover, ho was fond of a joko. Ho lis tened while Mngglo explained, nnd then said drylyt "Il'ml That's what conies of a young man living alone, with no women folks to take care of him." George wns fully us much embarrassed as Mngglo was nt this kind of a speech, but there didn't seem to be nny way of concealing his confusion, while Maggie busied herself looking for n needle nud thread. So ho stood still ami suffered him. It was it Hue situation for n boy with n dollar's worth of fun in his room, and an Impatient chum whistling outside, of a Fourth of July. It seemed n long time to wait, for Albert wim nwnko before four o'clock, but ns a matter of fact Mr. Wilson went tip quite enrly to his boy'a room, Kntorlng, he found Albert fully dressed, looking out of tlio window, listening to various noises lu tlio village. There were tears In his eyes, but ho brushed them nwny beforo turning to speak to his father, "I understand," said tho father, "thnt you bought somo firecrackers yesterday." "Yes, sir," said Albert. "Iiot mo see them," said Mr. Wilson, nnd tho boy brought out his bundle nnd opened It. "Thnt N a line lot. Where did you get thu money to buy them with!1" "I found It, sir." "Where did you llndltf" "lly tho front gate." "Didn't you know who It belonged to?" "No, sir," said the hoy, hesitating a lit tle; nml then with a desiernte burst of couragu he saldi "Yes, I know well enough; but, Pop, don't you know It's the Fourth of July? I reckon when you was n boy you wouldn't 'a' gone 'round hunting up owners for silver dollars when thoy jumped right up nt you, nnd you hadn't got no money nor no llrecrackers." Now, Mr. Wilson did not. suppose for u minute thnt he would have done nny such thing, nnd moreover he liked the boy'a frankness, nml although ho did mo the strap occasionally, believing that ho ought to do so, he did not like It any more than Albert did. It wasn't tho first time the boy had put him In a quandary. "Well, my son," ho said, not unkindly, after ho had considered a moment, "I am willing to make allowances, but you must remember to bo honest nbovo nil things, You must pay back thnt dollar." "Yes, sir," said Albert, delighted nt get ting off so ciu.lly. Hut after he had escaped from the house nnd Joined Jim, nnd tho two woro disturb ing the peace to the best of their ability, ho saw a well known figure coming down tho vitiligo strvet, nnd ran toward It. "Say, Georgo Whlttnker," ho exclaimed ' breathlessly, "nin't you going to be my I linitlmrt" WhlttJtkcr laughed and said, "Why?" " 'Cos if you are," said Albert, "1 don't a'poso I'll have to lie in any great hurry about pnyiu' back thnt dollar o' yours what I found. It'll bo nil In tho family, you know." And Georgo laughed agnln, and told him he needn't lie lu nny speclnl hurry. And after tho firecrackers wero nil goae, Albert said confidentially to Jim, "After all, it makes u feller feel heaps bettor to get his money honest, don't It?" "I don't know," said Jim. DAVID A.

Hut Maggie didn't (1ml her thread, If shu had, perhaps Al bert wouldn't havo been found Mlt. wilON out. Slio searched through her work bas ket, and there was no cotton there. She waa an exceedingly human young woman, and she grew angry. "That Albert has been rilling this bas ket again," she said with somo temper "He Is always in mischief." Then it sudden thought came to her. "Oh, Georgo!" she exclaimed. "1 wonder If It wan your dollar that ho bought such a lot or iiretvorkH with." "What's that? What's that?" said Mr Wilson. "Oh, nothing," said Maggie, "only Albert bought a lot of firecrackers today from old Mrs. Jones. Sho wns speaking to mo about it, and I wondered whore ho got the money." George laughed. "That's all right," he said. "If anybody fouud It I hope- It was Albert." Uut Mr. Wilson looked grave. He said nothing, however, nnd Mngglo presently fouud some thread and mended tho pocket, and tho two young -K-ople weut out to the gate again. When they got out side Georgo gathered up his courage and spoke desperately. "Mngglo," ho said, "I wish you would mend all my clothes." Maggie laughed. "Why, 1 hope they don't nil need mending," she said. "Of course," stammered Georgo, "I mean when they do need It." "Well," said Maggie, hanging her bend, "1 don't, know but what I might under take to do thnt," "Ilut I menn for always, for nil yonr life," exclaimed George After thnt there was some moro conver sation, mid old Mr. Wilson had to como to tho door twice to toll Maggio how Into it was lasforo sho came- In. When she did como lu ho lookod nt herprcttycloscly, but sho only said "Good night, papa," and he kissed her and she went up stairs while, ho locked up. Then ho followed, and going on up to the attic he very quietly locked Albert's door on tho outside. If that deluded youngster had not hud his head out of the window looking for James ho would probably have heard his father, but as it was he drew up the bundle all right, nud hiding It under his bed lay down without knowing that ho was a prisoner. He was one, though. Mr. Wilson had been a boy himself, and ho had assigned J AHiert's room to him with special refer ence to thu fact that climbing out of tho win dow was out of tho question. Therefore Al bert had noth ing to do but to wait, when he found his door locked next morning, until such time ns his father saw fit to come HAOOIK. 1111 HXll ralaoaa She Your society refreshes mo greatly.
