Jnmes phlloMophlcally "but you get u heap

"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

took fully fifteen minutes lieforo that
finger was In such a condition thnt George
Whlttnkcr was able to let go of it.
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.

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

Of course It was a good Joke. Hadn't
thu boss said that he didn't waul every

tho clerks that If the latter wanted any

bpeak to his Immediate superior and have
tho matter come to him through thu prop

to the bookkeeper:

message to Mr. Drown, .-tud so It went up
step by step to thu boss, who smiled a sick
ly sort of Bmlle when tho request wits re
pented to him.
"Ah, yes," he said, "tho assistant book
keeper seems to bo n greatstlckler for office
etiquette."
"Yes, sir," returned Mr. Johnson; "he
was anxious that the request should reach
you through tho proper channels."
"Quite right," snld the boss. "Now, I
might call him in and give him my answer
lu person, but that would hardly bo lu
conformity with his idea of propriety,
would it?"
"Well, sir, I suppose It is only a llttlo
Joke."
"Yes, yes, of course. Very nmuslng, this

will you plenso toll Mr. Wllklns to tell Mr.
Drown to tell Mr. Smith to tell the assist
