The Spirit of A!ie?ce. if A Fourth of July Story .? By EMMA ARCHER OSBORNE. '? Copyright. 1S07, by E. A. Coc PTpiHE street in which the Mc ? sbanes dwelt was one of the ^ least inviting of the lower west side. The long rows of old red brick buildings were ornate with non descript collections of superfluous household articles thrust on to the fire escapes. A boy. yelling vociferously to his kind in the street, five stories below, balanced, his scantily clad little body across the iron railing of the McShane fire *escape. - / This was the lad's first pause since daybreak, since the young America of the neighborhood had emerged numer "I SWEAB ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG." ously, yet as one man, with crackers and joyous spontaneity, to hail with diabolical din the nation's natal day and to awake many a grownup to a profane realization of the hour. He raised himself and took a long view of the street in either direction. He broke into a surprised exclamation. "Gee:o e!" he shouted. "Look at the flags!" For the space of a few seconds the boy gazed delightedly. He seemed to forget the thrilling bangs that filled the air. Then he glanced quickly in the direction of a nearby schoolhouse. "She's there, all right!" he exclaimed as he.tauight sight of a, good sized gay bunting floating above the building. A swish of skirts and a happy faced girl stood beside him. "Who's there, and where?" she asked. "Well, if girls don't ask the foolish est question!" sDiffed the boy in un disguised scorn at the girl's qn^cy. "A flag ain't a 'who.' " "Oh!" breathed the enlightened girl, with a smile. " 'She's' a flag, is 'she? But you'd better flag yourself in to breakfast. Mother's waiting for you."' She turned to go Inside. The boy caught her. "Say. Kate, we learned somethin' i at school to say to the flag. Want to hear it?" , The boy was the brightest spot in Kate's prosaic life. "Of course I want to hear it." she re ?^-plled eagerly. At once the boy assumed a military air. With body erect and dirty little heels in close contact, be raised a grimy hand in soldierly salute to a much befreckled forehead. Ignoring surroundings and apparently address ing Ihe flag in the distance, he repeat ed clearly and in a high pitched boy ish voice: " 'I swear allegiance to the flag and to the republic, for which it stands one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'" He was immediately gathered into the girl's strong youug arms. "Terrance. my little man, you talk like the president." she exclaimed, proudly kissing the boy's red hair "And you learned that In school? Oh, It's fine!" She clasped him so tightly that patri otism was forced to cry out for liberty "Lem-ine-go. !era-me-go!" roared Ter rance, spu:tering and wriggling from his sister's embrace. "Sure, I learnt it in school, but you needn't squeeze a feller to d";ith about it." giving him self a reas uring shake. "Ti's such a pretty speech," inter rupted Kr.te, ignoring the uncompli mentary allusion to her sex. "that I'm going to fetch you something nice from Coney Island for learning it." "Aw," blustered Terrance conde scendingly and slippiug through the window into the flat, with Kate in close pursuit, " 'taiu't nothln' 'cept what we say in school. Even,- moniin' one kid he dips the flag like this?see? an' the rest of us stand up like this? see?an' say it? Who you goin' with to Coney?" he asked abruptly, chang ing the subject. "Mike Peters?" "Indeed I'm not," replied Kate, with a disdainful toss of her head. They joined their father and mother at the table. As the family ate its breakfast Kate was bombarded with queries as to who was to accompany her to Coney Mike Peters and Kate's father were teamsters, and it might have be-PD this West Point Examination. I will hold an examination of all applicants for appointment to the United flutes Att.tiary Academy. 01: Friday August 7th, 9.3 0 a. m.. at Columbia.S. C.

The j following are the qualifications of the candidates required by the War D< partment: "No candidate shall be admitted! who is under 17 or over 22 years of age, or less than five feet four inches in height at the age of 17, iluailarity of occupation and their al tnost constant association which en Seared Peters to the major portion of the family. It might have been bis big. handsome self, hlB wholesome good na ture, coupled with a dogged patience in waiting for Kate, that was subtly bringing the girl to a realization of his p::f?u::;: : devotion. T'is idrvr- of es txi'.'i, thei'ef*.>wi on tue day ?.i ah days for an outing naturally aroused curi osity. Kate's days were passed in a big department store. Many persons stop ped at her counter and made pur chases. Some were One people, and from snatches of their conversation she gleaned mental visions of their luxuri ous mode of living. Frequently she looked out covetously on to their beau tiful plane of life. She often wondered how people get rich. But today she was for once to be "a real swell lady," as Susie Mullins had expressed iL "Now. look a-here, yez two." inter 'runted Kate's mother, coming to the girl's assistance at the breakfast table. "Kate's goin' to Coney wid Susie Mul lins an two rale giutlemen as has axed the glr-ruls. an' thim as has autimo beels too. Shure, if she wants to be a-goin' wid quality Instid av the loike? av Mike Peters?an' I'm sayin' nothln' again' Mike, ayther. God bless him? why can't she?" The question at issue seemed con j vincingly answered with a strong in timation that no further discussion j was desired. The meal was finished peacefully, but not without some in ward resentment on the part of Kate's father over the seemingly unwarranted sidetracking of Peters. Later a gay little automobile party sped swiftly through the city streets, across the river, over vast stretches of lowlands and on to the fantastic wood en city by the sea. It was a still gayer little party as it indulged in the pleasures and revels of the place. The light heartedhess of youth made the day one of irresponsi bilities and freedom, and the cloudless sky ar.d the lifr giving sea breezes , were In accord with the* blissful mood, and high spirits of the merrymakers. Not even a passing thought was giv en to the unconventional circum stances of their meeting. Paul Ricard, chauffeur for an uptown garage, made some purchases of Kate one day. "She Is very pretty." said Ricard to himself as he noticed ber delicate fea tures, crowned by auburn hair. When she looked up to more clearly catch the address he was giving for [ the delivery of his purchases he saw that her eyes were of a deep blue, and there wns a hidden laugh in them. He smiled at her boldly with his croat brown eyes. The little flush, scarcely perceptible, and the slight parting of the lips tele graphed to Uicard his victory. He found other occasions upon which to visit the store, never forgetting to pass Kate's way. An acquaintance fol lowed, into which Susie Mullins was introduced, and the Fourth of July trip was planned. I may invite, my friend Mathot?" he asked.' "Sure!" chimed the girls unhesitat ingly. Kate was swept to heights of ecstasy by the flattering attentions of Ricard. He was tall and handsome, lithe, dark and had winning features. Mike Peters became merely an occa sional thought It was evening at Coney Island. The little party had dined on the balcony of a b!g hotel. The quieting Influence of twilight had hushed their irrespon sible chatter, and they sat dreamily watching the shifting scene before them. The ocean sighed and broke softly on the gray sandy beach. In the distance the lighthouses flash ed their warnings to ships plying their j lonely ways over the dark wsters. Away off at the horizon the big moon peeped?hesitatingly, so it seemed, for a continuous performer?then, reassur ed by the long silvery reflection upon the wavep, rose bravely to the occa sion. Kate was as if charmed. Ricard sat complacently smoking, his eyes feasting on the changing beauty of the girl's face. Susie and Mathot strolled away. ' Then the witch of fire appeared. Little lines of white light shone out moving indefinitely about like Illumi nated snakes. They reached upward, outward und encircling; they outlined buildings: they crept high, leaving no ble towers: they wrought stirring em blems commemorative of the day: they lighted the highways; they pointed to the scintillating places for the night's revels, and they traced great piers stretching far into the sea. Coney was depicted in exquisite sil houette. Suddenly the air was filled with flam buoyant glory. Myriads of explosives shot skyward ?up. up. swiftly at flrst, with hissing sounds. High in the heavens they fal tered a bit as if in search of stellar ob jects against which to dash themselves. Then, bursting into gorgeous displays of varicolors. they spread into showers of beauty simultaneous with the shouts of delighted spectators and fell gently, like brilliant iridescent spray. Kate was hi raptures. She laughed and clapped her hands. She let out lit tle screams of delight. To gain a better view she moved to .the railing and leaned far out. She was In danger of falling. Ricard sprang to her side, caught her and held her protectingly with an arm encircling her. He talked to ber lightly, merrily at first; then he beut Iiis handsome, dark head until it was close, very close, to the auburn tresses, and he spoke in deeper, more serious tones, and the girl forgot c*onoy in the music of his voice. or five feet five inches in height, at the age of is and upward, or who is deformed or afflicted with any disease or infirmity which would render him unfit for military ser vice, or who has. at the time of pre senting himself, any disorder of an infectious or immoral character. Candidates must be unmarried. 1 Each candidate must, upon re porting at West Point, present a certificate showing successful vacci nation within one year; or a certifi cate of two vaccinations, made at least a month a part, within thrcej Kate caught herseif wondering why Mike Peters had never acquired the l>leasant ways of Ricard. After awhile he-placed a big, firm hand under her chin and raised bur face so he could watch Its every linea ment His dark eyes were luminous and tender. Eis voice was persuasive as Lr> s.:i 1 something to he:. ui,-v .:?"! ai:..i.i hs t'Jues pleading, aud lie em phasized his words with soft tittle pats on her warm c-hesks. Silently Kate's head drooped to bis shoulder, and he bold her tightly for the space of a few momeDts. Then he took her by the shoulders gently. lie stretched his arms at full length and held her there. His band? ?oine face was aglow with exultation. Kate laughed hysterically. She fell: herself helpless in his strong grasp, and she expected any moment to be gathered back with a .mighty rush into his embrace. Something dark, like a great mantle, floated noiselessly in betweeu them, shutting each from the other's view. Ricard caught it and flung it off. It whipped back again, swept toward Kate and partially enveloped her. The girl was frightened and strug gled to disentangle herself. Ricard was helping her when a blaze of light from an exploding rocket revealed what they were pulling and tugging at It was the trailing end of a big flag moved by the shifting breeze. Like one electrified, Kate ceased ber struggles. She snatched wildly at the fluttering bunting and held it captive. Her face turned like marble, and into her eyes there came a new. strange expression as she stood motionless, liar white gown gleaming here and there between the folds of the flag. As swiftly and silently as the com ing of the colors enlightenment had descended upon her. Oblivious to the presence of Ricard and her surroundings, she was living ''again her commonplace^existent i- of the morning. She was seeing her home, with Its mean environments, and all was beiug borne in ou her mind swift ly and with new significance. ? Again she saw Terrance saluting the flag and heard his childish explanation. "One nation indivisible?one nation indivisible.'' repeated itself over and over. Then it seemed to merge into "one home' indivisible" and ever In Terrance's clear boyish voice. There could be no "home indivisible" if she went with Ricard into his enchanted world, as he had suggested. With a cry that was half sob she sank to her knees, burying her face in the flag. "Terrance!" she whispered. Ricard had watched the girl wonder ingly. Her tears, brought him pityingly to her side. "Don't! Don't do that!" he pleaded tenderly, attempting to raise her. Kate sprang to her feet shuddering at his touch. She shook him off. He was perplexed by her action. "You are tired," he ventured and took her bands in his. She made no reply. Instead she tried to free herself. Ricard, aroused aud angry, would not release her. "You shall not shake me off," he said sternly. "You are mine." And be grasp ed her by the shoulders, hurting her cruelly. She did not speak, but met his eyes unflinchingly. For the space of a few seconds they thus faced euch other. He searched in vain for the light that bad shone in her eyes but a few moments before. What he saw instead were "AW?CUT?IT?OUT 1" HE PROTESTED. awakened, aroused womanly intuition, chastity and hatred. What she saw was determination, pleading. She yielded not a bit to him. The red haired Irish shopgirl was like the embodiment of an age of Celtic queens. He wanted to crush her, to devour her. And still she said not a word, but looked and looked at him steadily, coldly, dominatingly. He met her gaze with equal fortitude. It was as If the souls of the man and woman were in visual combat Ricard's perfidious spirit swayed. "Forgive me." he said in a trem bling, humble voice. "Let me take you home." Terrance awoke with a start when Kate, fllngiug herself on her knees he side his bed. commenced to smother him with kisses. "Aw ? cut ? it ? out!" he protest**! sleepily. "Wbat'd ? you ? bring ? me, Kate?" "These." she replied, spreading an array of trinkets and souvenirs of tho day out upou the bed?"these, dear boy"? The boy was asleep agaiu when she added sobbingiy?"and your sister." months."

Though each colonist was to own his own property, the colony was co be to a certain extent, co-op operative. During the summer and fall 5f 1856 there was much sickness and the greater part of the colonists left the country. The only reminder of the colony which now remains is the fact that the stream on which they settled is still known as<iVege tarian Creek.?Kansas City Star. Divine Clamor Appreciated.. The family were gathered in the library admiring a splendid thun derstorm whon the mother bethought aer seh of Dorothy alone in the nur sery.

Men may be "spoiled" as well as children, and if too much be done lor them by their wives or daughters, or even female servants, they will lose their respect for the sex.
