\"XcT,IiTjlM rioRKiNS was
\/\/ eight years old and Nero '
\ Y W:KS i,u'.v f??nr, but when
Nero walked on nil fours
tic was nearly as tall as Willie, and
when lie lifted his groat shaggy dog
ship upon his hind legs he c^pUl lay
Ids forcpaws on somebody's shoulders
ami that somebody was Willie's father.
Mr. Perkins railed Willie ami Nero
"the ejiuins," and it was indeed seldom
that the two were apart, except at
school times and meal times, and
when the sandman had paid Willie a
visit; oven at those times they were
not far apart. When Willie went to
school Nero 'vottod along by his side,
nnd, like the good fellow that ho
was. when they came to the door and
Wlllje said, "Now, old boy, you wait
for me right here in the yard nnd be
sure not to frighten nuy of the chil
dren as they come In. Tell ine good
by now and be a good fellow." Nero
would wag his tail very hard, lick
the hand that had bvrn patting his
head lovingly all the tlfuo Willie
was talking (o him, and then lie down
nnd watch his master disappear
through the great door of the school
house. ?
Hut the happiest time for "the
chums" was when Willie put his hooks
nway for the long summer vacation
and he ami Nero had the whole day to
gether. liven when Willie had cut
the kindling i( was Nero who carried
it to the house In a basket held tightly
by his strong toeth, while Willie car
ried a bucketful of coal.
Hy and by Willie began to tell Nero
of a great day that was coining when
all the boys would have firecrackers
ami Koman candles and torpedoes, and
there would be Hags Hying and bands
playing and everybody would have n
good time. Nero always listened to
every word that his little master said,
pud now and then when Willie would
give his head an extra hard pat by
way of emphasis Nero would bark and
tot his tail going harder than ever.
That tail always wagged when Nero
was pleas- d. Sometimes "Willie's
mother would allow the dog to come*
Into t lie sitting room, but one day the
tail knocked a handsome vase off of
the table and broke it, and after that
Nero had to lie down very quietly if
lie Kot Into the house.
Two days before the Fourth Willio
bought his fireworks; there were live
packages, of lire crackers and five of
torpedoes, four rockets, four lloman
candle?, two wheels and a long piece
of punk. Nero went with Willie to
? he store to buy them, but he had to
wait outside r/lillo Willie want in, and
to as soon as they reached home Willie !
opened the package and showed Nei
.everything it contained.
"Now, we'll lire off a few crackers."
Eahl Willie' to Nero, "but we'll have to
save the most of them till the Fourth,
h'eause us boys arc going to have our
crackers an' torpedoes together. Won't
we have a fine time, marching to tlm
commons, with our drums beating am?
horns blowing and U.:gs llylnn! But
there's one trouble about yon, Nero,,
un' that is, you can't n arch with us
(?'cause the boys decided that nobody
can march without they have one of
our flags, an' there's Just ten flags an'
ten boys. I'm to give oui (he Hfigs an*
THET FORMED IN DOUBLE COIXMN.
If (hero was any ^boy that was nick
you coult. have his place, If you could
ouly wave a llag."
Nero dropped his head antf looked
very sad. Willto thought It was be
cause Nora 1vas bo badly disappointed,
but perhaps It was because the-fatth
ful fellow saw that his friend was
troubled. As they *at there, Nero look
ing so sad and WlIUo With his elbows
resting on his knees and his chin
burled In his hands, they heard some
one whistle and. looking up. saw<tTow
Ersnn 'coming toward them.
"Heard the new*V Tem asked.
"No. What Is it?" answered Willie,
fotgftting for a moment his trouble
orer Nero.
Ed. Bishop's golos with his folks to
the city forJhp Fourth, an* so you'll
Mitc to flndftome take hit
place In mi pretension." .
Willie fare Nero a quick look. "Oh,
I ekk you* had hands."
"Who'll you getrr asked Tom, after
waiting a moment for Willie to speak.
? ?'Dunno jet; I'll kave to think about
It flrat. See hem 1'r? tot iota o|

"Well, you ought io have Iho right
to give out the ila,ar?. NVo'll nil moot
ho re at 10 sharp." a?ul Tom sauntered
on.
When lie was gone Willie began to
talk to Nero again.
'?Now, there it Is. I have firecrackers
an' torpedoes enough for you an' me, j
too, an* you helped me earn Yin, carry-*]
[ ing kindling, didn't youV Oh, why
haven't you sonic hands to carry a
flag with!"
Willie was exelfod now, and up
Jumped Nero, waving his tail as hard
as fce could. Willie looked at him for
a minute and then turned a double
somersault, ;.nd came up shouting,
"Hurrah! hurrah! You shall march
with us. 1 know 1 eon do It!"
At last the Fourth came, and at 10
o'clock all the boys except Ed. were
gathered in Willie's yard and Willie
was talking to them.
"Now, boys," ho was saying, "you
l"ft It to me to put some one in, Kd.'s
place, tin' I have selected some one
that you all know an' like. lie has
his share of crackers and will wave
his Hntf fine. Will you promise to
give him a rousing welcome when 1 e
comes, so's he won't feel hurt at being
asked to inaivch with us nt the last
luiuute?"
*They nil promised, nnd tlien while
they wero asking who It was Willie
ran Into the house. A few moiueuts
later lie came out, and who should
conic trotting by hl.i side hut Nero,
carrying in his mouth the handle of
a hr.sket that was tilled with lire
crackers and wagging his tail, to which
was tied a little flag, polo and all!
The l?oys jm^ave ft great shout
when they daw Nero, nnd then they
formed in double column and started
for the co'iimon, Nero walking by Wil
