(>u the morning or the Fourth of July Loulsri May was very luippy oh \she stood before the small mirror In her he.d room and gave the last touches to her toilet. Her challls had made up very prettily, and her mother had de lighted her by an unexpected gift of a pretty pink libbon sash. She had never before had such n beautiful hat, and there wan but one thing to detract from her satisfaction with her ap pearance. "If I only didn't have such a mop of red hair!" she suhl to the mirror. "If It way mouse-colored, like Amanda Dane's, or a regular brlndlo llko Lucy Trent's, 1 shouldn't care. Hut red! It Isn't ns red as It used to be. though.,, and I shall wear my hot while I sing that will hide it a good deal." There had been few holidays In Lou isa May's life, and never ono so full of promise of pleasure us this. She hud been to the village the day before to rehearse her song with Miss Hope, who was to play the accompaniment on the organ, and Miss Hope had said that Louisa sang beautifully. She had a j very clear and strong voice, ami site said to her mother as they drove to- J ward tin* grove, "I don't feel a bit ner vous or afraid now." She did, however, feel a little ner vous when her turn to sing en me. and she found herself on the platform be fore the audience that tilled every part of the grove. The Chairman of the day stepped forward and said: "We will now llstcu to u fculo, 'The Star Spangled Banner,' by Miss Louisa May Hatfield." At this some of the Cirand Army men set up a shout, and I.oUlsa May walked to the front of the platform with the Inrgc silk tlag she was to hold while she sang.
