a dozen explosions, followed by an al­

the earth. “W hat la the matter, any­
how—the world cornin’ to an end?” He
rose hastily and began to drees, for the
roosters were now all crowing and the
dogs barking, and from the barn came
a frightened bellowing and stamping of
cattle. In the darkness and u tter still­
ness of the night the crashes were ter
rtfylng.
Before he could don hla -
clothes and get outside there were o
doxeu or fifteen more explosions, some
coming singly, others In a long, scarce
ly broken rumble dr In one great crash.
But, once oqtelde, the mystery waa
partly explained, for the a ir waa strong
w ith the smell of burned powder. It
waa the Fourth of Julyers, aa he bad
first thought, but how in the name of
reason had they managed to make ae
much noise?
Then came thq last crashing explo
slon, and he started, a t first blankly,
then w ith a sudden comprehension
The crash bad not come from exactly
the direction o f the village, but from
the road pasture.
“The young reprobate!” he cried
w rathfu lly. “H e ’s been aettto’ off them

H e needs a good larrupin’, that’s what
he Qeeda, an’ I feel Jest the right way
now to give It to him.” Then some­
thing o f the humor o f the situation
seemed to strike him, for be commenc­
ed to chuckle, which waa, however, In ­
stantly suppressed. “ D id n't he make a
noise, though!” he w ent on. "W hew !
H e must ’a’ been up all night gettin’
that powder ready. I wonder w hat the
village Fourth o* Julyers are thtokln’

breath back.”
H e stood hesitating fo r a fe w mo­
menta. Over to the east a long line of
daylight was beginning to appear.
Then came a loud barking from the
road pasture, toward which the dogs
had rushed nt the very beginning of
the explosion; then he heard Reub’a
voloa calling the dogs. W ell, he was
glad the young scamp was not hurt,
though of course there had been no
real danger. H e had never known the
boy to he careless about such matters.
Suddenly he seemed to make up hla
mind, for he turned and walked rapid­
ly toward the village, m uttering as he
did sot " I ’ve got to larru p Reub for not
w aitin ’ till all the atones waa drilled,
of course, but I ’m glad 'twas done so
early, 'fore travel begun. I'v e laid
awake nights lately thtokln’ 'boat acci­
dents an’ damages.”
The village was awake, as ba had
expected, but none of Its own celebrat­
ing seemed to have yet commenced.
Apparently Its enthusiasm was mo­
mentarily paralysed by the unexpected
and trameodoua noise which I t could
not hope to emulate. As he appeared
amqng them, Enos could see fingers be
gin pointing toward him from the vari­
ous groups, and he raised his head de­
fiantly. H e waa accustomed to point­
ing fingers and even to hooting from
the younger boys. H e had not been a
public spirited man, and the village had
resented I t None from his farm waa
aver asked to Join to the "doln’s.”
B ut now something very strange hap­
pened. Behind the pointing fingers hs
began to eee smiling, admiring, even
cordial faces. Several of the promi­
nent men started toward him w ith ex­
tended hands.
"W ell, Enos, yon certainly did us up
that time,” chuckled the doctor aa he
held on to the horny band and looked
at Its owner adm iringly, “and, w hat’s
more to the purpose, you did up the
folks In the town across the river.
