who wui dnnhled up In
a discontented heap In
a corner of the ros snted voranda.
"It Isn't the games , " \\ml.-d M'try ,
disconsolately , "It's a race u Fourth

"Dear , dear child , you'll gut yourself
all heated up If you llomico about llko
that , and so you would in a race. We'll
go and BOO the boys , and you can wear
your pretty now white dress , " com
mented Grandannt Mary , calmly , with
no Idea of further rebellion which she
was arousing In her greatnlece'a
breast.
" { don't want to bo dressed up , "
Mary was beginning In a still greater
outburst of revolt , when she was In
terrupted by a now arrival a thin
girl with bright blue eyes and bright

( in tlit * program u | . all. And with our
records , tool"
"Who told you ? " demanded Uunny.
"Tom , " said Mary. That settled It.
The news was evidently authentic ,
Tom was Mary's brother , and both
girls knew his word was not to bo
[ loubtcd. Besides , ho was chairman Of
Iho ouuunlttoo on Fourth of July
Bliorts , which the boys of Dougluston
were going to hold at the village
school grounds. An admission of 2fi
cents for grown-ups and ten cents for
children was to bo charged , and with
the proceeds new suits were to bo
bought for the Junior ball team. Of
poursc , In oamo placed tie | girlri
Wouldn't have thought of having a
part in BO Important an event , but the
girls of Douglaston and their summer
visitor's wore very fond of all sorts of
sports , and Ilunny and Mary were
members of a small group of girls who
jiad come from fol schools where nth ,
lelics and gymnastic work were a
most Important part of the course.
Consequently they felt deeply ag
grieved at being debarred from par
ticipating In the Fourth sports.
"And It would bo much moro Intor-
os ting if they had at least one girls'
race , " wailed Mary , bursting faith
pgain with her complaint. "ICvory-
body Is always moro Interested in
girls' events than In boyo. I'm Hiiro
jnoro people would go. "
Hunny suddenly sprang Into the air
and began clapping her hands in the
wildest fashion. " "Mary , you're a dear ,
a dear , " she cried. "I've thought of
something and we'll do It , too. Hrlng
your gym bloomers and come over to
my house right after tea and tell Susie
and Evelyn. I'll tell the rest of the
girls. "
"Thoro , now , " said Aunt Mary ,
"what Is that child going to do ? "
"I don't know , but Hunny docs
Hunny's found a way , " carolled Mary
Joyously , and she ran gayly oft' to look
up her gymnasium suit.
On Fourth of July morning the boys
of Douglaston hud a surprise. Tom
Mason , Mary's brother , saw it first.
It was a banner a largo white ban
ner , which was Rwung across the
main street from the post olllco to thu
principal grocer's opposite. Tom ap-
proarhed it curiously. On It ho read
this legend :

LKMON'A Did KIIKH.
Tom stood spellbound a second.
Then ho turned and ran straight for
thu house of his chum , Johnny Drls-
coll. He stopped only a moment , and
that was to gaze over into the Kvans
meadow. Preparations lor the after
noon's event were already in progress.
A group of girls were pacing off dis
tances for the obstacle race , and his
own sister was twining a hurdle with
red , white and blue garlands.
"And they're going to do It up fancy
like girls do , " groaned Tom to Johnny
a few moments later , In reference to
the paper garlands , "while we've got
nothing but two Hags to decorate
with. "
, "They'll get all the crowd , " said
Johnny dolefully.
"Sure thing , " acquiesced Tom.
"Judge Evans' man had a dozen ban
ners to put up , and everybody'll see
them. "
"There's only one thing in our fa
vor , " ho declared , "and that Is the
openness of the meadow. Anybody can
BOO the races there without paying ad
mission , and , of course , some people
will bo moan enough to do it. Bo If
they want to rnako money they'll have
a hard time , while , of course , there's a
fence around our place. Not that that
jvlll do uo any good If the folks can
llnd something else to ace that's Juat
us lively and that they don't liuvo to
pay for If they don't want to. "
"Tho only thing lor us to do , " said
Johnny , llrmiy , "la to got all the fel
lows together. "
It was rather a wheeplsh lot of boys
who later marched two by two up to
the lOvaiis place. The Kvans meadow
was by this time assuming a decidedly
gala appearance , with its abundnnro
of Hags and garlands Hying Irani fence
posts and trees.
Tom 113 loader of the opposition"
called a parley. Ills overtures were
responded to with suitable reluctance
by Hunny as queen of the Amazons.
"You know , " said Tom , "you only
asked for one obstacle race , and
we're willing to let you girls have
half the events If you'll only combine
with us. You can't make muoU money
here , anyway. YQ can only keep us
from ninklng any at all , and we'll give
you half the proceeds. "
Now there was one very good thing
about nunny , which was that she
knew when to make concessions. So
she hesitated only long enough to tell
the other girls Unit they ought really
to forgive tliu boys , and then uhe
straightway went the Judge's man to
tuck the following addendum to the
white banners :
"Tho girls' sports will bo held in
combination with the boys' at the
school Held. "
And the glrU didn't take advantage
Of Tqm'u offer , either , for they didn't
really want half the events. All that
they wanted was a fair representation
on the straightaway races and an op
portunity of enjoying that fascinating
sport , the obstacle race. They didn't
make quite as good tlino an the hoys ,

Homo things , but when Urandnlcce

FOURTH OF JULY IN MANILA.
Birthday of the American Nation Is
Celebrated with the Greatest
Enthusiasm.
The little brown men In the Philip
pines , who fought against the Stars
and Stripes a few years ago , now celebrate -
brato Its birthday with as much en-
tuslaam UB the most patriotic Ameri
can could wish. Long before sun
up In Manila the bustle of prepara
tion Is heard In answer to the rutlle
of drums and the shrill notes of pipes
from army headquarters. Despite the
great number of Chinese in the city ,
Manila does not encourage the lire-
cracker , owing to the hlghly-lnllam-
inablu nature of many of the build
ings ,
In the afternoon there Is sure to be
u speech from an open-air platform
draped with Hags , and later a con
cert of patriotic airs from the ornate
bamboo band stand on the Luueta.
The well-to-do citizen of Manila puts
on an immaculate duck suit , plna a
tiny American Hag to his breast in
honor of the day and goes out to see
the fun and take part In the grand pa
rade of vehicles and pedestrians on
the Luneta , which takes place as soon
as the climbing of the greased pole
and the potato and sack races are
over. A brilliant display of llreworks
winds up the day. The harmless tor
pudo and less harmless toy pistol are
in high favor with grown-ups as well
as children , and it is very amusing to
see a fat elderly mestizo gentleman
gravely loading and firing a toy pistol ,
or gleefully popping torpedoes on the
pavement .
