I i 1 3 y THE DAY THEY CELEBRATED A rouiiTii or imr iiomancr ii r rirruii maiituhiu h Copyright 1000 fcy P McArthur r MONO thn vorv first families to r u c Ii Ouglurn for the summer Benson were tliu Uroshiuns a n d tlu Ditvlscs It Is doubtful It ci ther of t h e in coulil toll exact ly why thpy liinl closed thuir town houses do early nnil the two who were chletly re sponsible would have denied us ing their inlliience If they had been ac cused And anyway neither would have thought of accusing tins other The Greshanis and Davlses lived in different cities during the winter but it so hap pened that they had selected Onglnrn as the choicest spot on the great lakes for their summer outing They had tried It for the first time on the previous year anil it was in that way that Jack Gresham and Iolly Davis first met They had met only a few times but were so congenial that all winter they had been thinking of each other and it was due to their influence exerted on their re spective families that the Hitting took place as cany as May And when they met they Immediately began to act as if they had known each other for years and had been in the habit of meeting every day It is strange but true that people who arc acquainted and think about each other a great deal find their friendship ripens just as quickly when they are apart as if they were associat ing dally Jack and Polly promptly began to en joy the beauties of Ougiara in company They organized botnnizing parties of two went boating and fishing and discovered that at no time of the dny Is the air so Invigorating or long walks so healthful ns in the early evening But ulthough they were inseparable neither of them was awaro of the fact for nothing had happened to make them study the state of their hearts Of course they were teased by their friends but they were so sure of the platonlc char acter of their friendship that they didnt mind in the least One evening about the middle of June however something un expected happened I have made up my mind said Tolly as she swuiig in the hammock that Jack kept In motion to celebrate the first Fourth of July in the new century by doing something unusual though I havent decided yet what It shall be Well you have plenty of time to make up your miudv Not so very much only about two weeks About a year and two weeks you mean dont you said Jack Certainly not Polly retorted with a slight show of temper Now surely you are not one of the cranks that try to prove that the new century does not be gin till the beginning of the year 1001 Oh I dont know that I am so particu larly cranky in thinking so and anyway I have the majority of the world with me Well Matthew Arnold used to say that the majority is always wrong and it most decidedly is in this case I dont see how on earth you can say so The argument is just as clear as a pikestaff Well Id like to have a look at that pikestaff I suppose the argument you refer to is the one about dollars and pay ing them out one at a time until you have paid 100 The tone in which this was said ex asperated Jack by its condescension and he answered in the same strain Not by any means The argument I use is much simpler and suited to any grade of intelligence Indeed said Polly Would you mind prattling it out Not in the least Let us suppose that we have 100 volumes of 305 pages each and each divided into 12 chapters The first volume would be volume 1 and so on to volume 100 and if I started to read them I couldnt say that tbey were all read until I had completed the three hundred aud sixty fifth page of volume 100 and in the same way a century can not be complete until the three hundred and sixty fifth day of its hundredth year has elapsed Thats no argument at all said Pol ly Books and years are entirely dif ferent things But each book represents n year No it doesnt not any more than that cow out there on the commons does You surely have studied rhetoric even if HO IT DOESNT NOT ANY MOBB THAN THAT COW OUT TnBRK you havent studied metaphysics Pol ly wu rather proud of her Wellealey ed ucation And you should know that you must never compare a thing that is concrete with a thing that is abstract Time is something abstract and the measurement of it should be compared with another abstraction Im sure I dont know what on earth you axe talking about with your concrete and abstract I didnt uuppose you would But I UTt s war of explaining jr position that Is also suited to every grade of In lelllgenw Indeed said Jack recalling iln own angry remark and her reply to it Would you mind prattling it for my benefit Not in the least 1 suppose you have noticed that on my bicycle there Is a flung called a cyclometer It registers the number of miles that I travel Well When I travel one mile It registers 1 and when it has registered 100 my first century is completed In the name way when It registers 1100 miles it means that I have completed 11 centuries nnd I Immediately begin my twentieth Now we have reglsteied 1100 years and for that reason li centuries are complete It U just the snino with the age of a person I was IS on my last birthday and I say that I am 18 years old aud the Christian era wan just 11HH years old on Ita last blithday Oh 1 suppose If one hunted around for it they could Hud some exception that would prove anything but I cant Ree for the life of me that miles are n bit more like years than books nre Well If you cant It is because you dont know any better said Polly hotly as she jumped out of the hammock Well said Jack with nn air of lofty decision 1 may not know much about the kind of arguments that they teach in ladies colleges but I know more about some people than I did I suppose you mean that for me Mr Gresham Well I dont know that It is any particular business of yours knowing anything about me one way or the oth er I am glad you think so Miss Davis and I hope that your celebration of the last Fourth of July of the century will be a notable one The first In the new century I she snapped Nonsense Idiot Woof Having thus reduced their vocabularies to Inarticulate sounds they separated In high dudgeon fully resolved that never again would they speak or recognize one another on the street During the two weeks preceding the Fourth of July they both spent most of their time In careful ly avoiding each other and for that very reason mot more frequently because one was afraid of meeting the other in their old favorite haunts and for that reason kept away from them Now all my summers fun Is spoiled Polly said to herself at least a dozen JACK MAKCnKD GRAVELY DP TO TIIE DAVIS COTTAGE times And all on account of that thick headed Jack Gresham Well Im glad I found hi m out anywny If we had been together all the time there is no knowing what might have happened and just think of having to go through life with such a stupid But oh dear I wish we hadnt quarreled just now or that there were some other young men in town that were any fun But all the other young men are silly aud at the worst he is only stupid Dear me but I am lonesome Jacks meeltations for the two weeks might bo condensed into a paragraph about as follows There is no getting around it I was fnlliug in love with her but it is a good thing I found her out when I did Whew what a spitfire she is And then think of having to live with a woman who thinks she knows more than you do But oh ye lor is at ladles intellectual Inform ua truly bavo ttiey not henpecked you allt Guess Ill go fishing today No Ill be hanged if I will Ill go botanizing But darn botnnizing anyway By the 3d of July they were both lone ly and very miserable and Polly had not yet decided on her unique celebration She had thought of exasperating Jack by buying a lot of set pieces each put- ting the number 20 In some different way and getting her little brother to set them up In some conspicuous place where Jack could not help seeing them from his home But still that would not be so very much fun after all Jack on the other band discovered during the two weeks of the quarrel that not only had be been in d nger of falling in love with Polly but that he was iu love with her and be argued himself into the conviction that if they could only get Into the new century safely they would have a hun dred years ahead of them before there would be any chance of anything arising so exasperating as this end of the cen tury dispute After be had arrived at this conclusion an idea came to him that was remarkably bright even Polly after ward admitted for such a stupid fellow On the forenoon of the Fourth of July Jack took an American flag in one hand and a flag of truce in the other and marched gravely up to the Davis cottage Polly smiled in spite of herself and grant ed the armistice Have you decided yet on the unusual celebration that you were thinking of for the last Fourth of July of the century For the first of the new century aald Polly Never mind that said Jack I dont care when the new century begins AH I know is that I will not be happy in it unless you agree to begin it with me Why not celebrate this Fourth by get ting engaged And we can celebrate the next by getting married and then well be sure of celebrating the right day Polly was so taken by surprise that Bhe didnt even say This is so sudden Instead she disappeared quickly Into the grape arbor while Jack followed When they emerged again they had agreed thoroughly that they didnt care when any old century began and two Fourth of July celebrations bad been arranged for instead of one THR NORFOLK
