Plight of a Singer Who Yearned to

Klnir Ludwig II. o f Baratia had a

how chivalrously romantic I.udwlg
could be on occasions, so she decided
she would fall Into the lake and en
treat him to rescue her.
The eventful evening arrived. Joae-
pbtua warbled her sweetest for the
benefit of the listening monarch and
when the song was over plunged
heuvlly Into the lake.
There was a tremendous noise, and
the water splashed to the topmost
summit of the “ Himalayas.” but the
lady reiualued chin deep In the lake,
whose still wutera were not so deep
as they looked. “ Save me. save me.

The king rang the bell, “ (let that
woman out of the lake and send her

asserting that she was a new

that claim, she was much giv

Dorothy's “ newness." to use the word

sorely. Jack wns not at all a new
man. If the new type lx to be the proto
type o f the new woman. Not that Jack
was exactly venerable either. It would
probably be some years before be wax
bald or toothless.
Jack could not underxtand Dorothy’s
.mddeii aggressive Independence. He
did not see why any reasonable girl
should prefer to wait ou herself and
soil her dainty fingers when there was
a great. Inxy fellow uround who asked
nothing better of fute than to be al
lowed to wait o d her all the days of
Ills life. Time was, and not so very
long ago either, when Dorothy hml
shown a most delightful readiness to
accept bis services. Of late, however,
a change bud come over the spirit of
her dream. The dream now. nud to
Jack It seemed a nightmare, was of In-
dependence.
Just before Dorothy and her family
had left town for the summer, when
Jack had come to say "goodby” and
something more—to offer her a heart
that wns absurdly henvy at the pros
pect o f four long, weary months with-
out her—she had been so full of this
spirit o f Independence—the spirit of
’7fl she liked to call It—that he had
gone away with the something more
unsaid, telling himself Impatiently
that the girl had no use for her own
heart, looking upon It as quite an un-
necessary encumbrance, and would cer
tainly not want his.
Thnt was In the end of May. Now It
was the 1st o f July. Jack had written

cause.” There seemed to bo n whole
colony o f “ ucw women" where Dorothy
was spending the summer. They held
meetings, made speeches, “ read copy"
to each other. Jack said, for Jack was
a newspuper man—a "Journalist" Dor
othy called It. Dorothy's letters to
Jack had been unpleasantly suggestive

voted to the Interests of the comln;

Poor, misguided Jack! He had ex
pected the same sort of day they bail
had last y ea r— a morning spent i'
scorching his fingers and burning hole>
in his trousers while setting off fire
cracker« with bar small brothers and
sisters; an afternoon o f blissful idle
ness o d the lake; an evening of t h e
conventional summer resort sort—fire
works early In the evening, dancing
later on. broad verandas, moonlit gar
dens—all that sort of thing.
•That was wbat he exi>ectad. This Is
what happened:
He found a very superior Dorothy,
who considered the firing o f crackers
an infantile pastime, fit only for weak
Intellects; who made sarcastic com
meats about people who were “pleased
with a rattle, tickled with a straw;"
who. when the children hod him fast
In their toils, went off with an un
pleasantly strong minded looking book
under her arm. "anywhere out of hear
ing of this detestable racket;” who In
the afternoon did not care to venture
ou the lake, for there was a storm com
Ing up. and. moreover, abe had a "pa
per" to prepare: who tn the evening
when be mildly snggested strolling
over to watch the fireworks, advised
him to wait nntll woman achieves her
Independence, and then there will be
some fireworks worth seeing, ant.
who Hunouuced her Intention In the
meanwhile of celebrating Independence
day by attending a meeting of new
women In the loft of a neighboring
barn, wfiere certain modern Patrick
Ilenrys In petticoats were to be gath
ered togethegMo assure each other that,
failing to secure liberty, they were
ready to welcome death.
Poor Jack' He was blind. Indeed.
He did uot see that this "senseless
ness,.'' ns be was mentally calling It.
was nine-tenths of It put on to tease
him. Driven to desieratlon. he even
offered himself ns her escort to this
meetiug. She was quite able to take
care of herself. She would go nloue.
Aud she went. Aud she found it ail
Intensely stupid, almost as stupid as
Jack bud been in taking tier at ber
word when she declined his escort. She
found that instead o f listening to the
ringing cries o f lilierty or death she
wus hearing only the squeaking of the
fiddles over at the club, where, the
fireworks over, dancing bad begun.
She caught herself woudering which of
the girls Jack was duudng with. Was
It that dreadful Katharine Blake, who
hud tried so hard to get up a flirtation
with him Inst year? Or pretty Florrie
Blackwell, for she was pretty In an
iuuuimute. wax doll fashion? Or that
fascinating little Mabel Mortimer, who
seemed to captivate every man she
met ?
Thou she wns called upon to read the
;>a|>er that she had pre|>ared that aft
ernoon whet) she would so much rather
have gone sailing with Jack, it wns a
j commonplace little paper, but because
she was in hitter mood she rend It with
a bitterness thnt wou her audience.
That was the right spirit. said the next
speaker. Men should be made to con
sider well tbe voice of tbeir complaint.
They should be no more able to close
! their ears to It tliuu to the nightly re
verberations of the thunder that now
seemed to shake the very earth. The
storm which had threatened all day
had broken now.
Little o f tills was heard. The terrible
voice o f tbe storm without drowned
j the voice o f the mere woman within
If It had been heard It is doubtful
whether it would have been heeded,
for these new women were after all
very like the old women—they were
terribly frightened. Finally there came
a flash that seemed to burn into their
very souls ami shrivel them to cinders,
followed by a clap that made them
think that tbe globe itself was split
ting; a smell of smoke, of burning
wood, o f sulphur In another minute
they knew that tlie barn was on fire.
A wild rush for the ladders and
crooked stairs followed. Fortunately
Dorothy's new womanhood did not de
sert her at a pinch. She kept enough
of her wits about ber to know that she
must not Join In the stampede. She
must keep perfectly still until Jack
came for her. She knew It would be
Jack that would come for her. She
had not long to wait, though afterward
she would have told you it wns en
eternity, before she heard Jack's voice
shouting. "Dorothy! Dorothy! Where
are you? Don't be frightened. It’s
Jack. I'm coming to you."
As she answered his call she remem
bered that he had never before called
her “ Dorothy." never before had taken
It for granted that she thought of him
as "Jack." "ml she knew that so long
as they botu should live It would al
ways be "Dorothy" and “Jack" be
tween them In future.
Later on. when she stood with him
watching the village fire company put
ting out the flames, she realized that
Independence day wns over. But she
did not regret It. She had been too
close to dent to clamor for liberty.—

Tbe beginning o f the big Fourth of
July celebrations probably took place
with the fiftieth anniversary, which
fell on Monduy in 1825. At New York
tbe reception to General Lafayette
gave Intense Interest to the occa
sion. An Immense procession, a grand
review, receptions, races, regattas,
banquets, followed each other without
'ntervnls, Castle Garden being the
scene of the evening display o f fire
works.
In the forties and fifties came a pcrl-
•sl o f great processlous. larger reviews
m<l more splendid displays o f fire
works.

icans on the "glorious Fourth.” at
home or abroad, on land or sen. they

plosive and demonstrative spirit o f the
Fourth of July Is nsserted In no nn-
■ertnln manner and their patriotism Is
