.THE VfLLAGE FOURTH, X'lC.

^Within the shaded doorway ,* The eager children stand, Fqt the strains of stirring musio

Announce the coming band. The roar of distant cannon

•YM

Mingles -arith the chime of bell*, "While nearer still and nearer The joyous tumult swells.

Dear grandma leaves ber knitting, And with baby on her knee Comes and sits among the children,

Who are shouting now with glee.

For adown the street comes marching Along and varied train Keeping step to "Yankee Doodle,"

The merry old refrain.

Now tho last of the procession, With its flags and streamers gay, Whisks around a distant corner

In a cloud of dust away.

THE RUSTY SWORD.

1»Y 0. T. FERRIS.

tCopyright, 1898, by the Author.] EOFFREY MARCOE'8 don in tho old homostead, which ho had Inboritod from his father, tho oolonel, one of the most substantial citizens of Williston.wna as fit and pleasant a bachelor's hauntas any ono of that genus is Handsoroo fur rugs, many of them the spoils of tho owner's rifle, were scattered over tho oak floor, and the room was lined with bookcases filled with thd best literature of tho world. Betweon tho mooso and oik beads mountod on tho walls were scattered fine water oolors and etohinga. Here stood a stand of pipes, there a cabinet of sporting guns. An angling rod was propped up ngnlnffta handsome bronze, and a dozen half made trout flies wore tumbled together in an enameled Japanese plaque. Tho apartment, in a word, was typical of tho aocomplishod trlflor who had the tastes if not tho talents of a Criohton. But the ornament in whioh tho young man took most pride among numerous masouline knlokknaoks was a largo wooden shield on whioh woro suspended half a dosen swords of different patterns. A pair of luodorn sabern and a splendid "presentation" sword had eomo to him from his father, who had boon a dashing cavalry offioor during tho civil war. A short saber in a plain shagreen scabbard curved just abovo them, sacred to tho memory of his grandfather, who bad commanded a battery at Buena Vista and been slain there In a charge of tho Mexioan lancers. A •lender bladowlth a silver ohased hilt bore witness of a remoter ancestor, one who had served on Qenoral Hull's staff and bad protested bitterly against that commander's surrender of Detroit in 1813. "But there's the tool," said Geoffrey to bis friend Adams, a young lawyer, as they sat smoking one Sunday afternoon, "belonging to tbo fine old crusted warrior of the lot," pointing to the topmost sword. Ho took it down—a long, straight out and thrust, and tried to unsheathe it, but it stuck so fast as to resist all bis strength. "That is bo," he continued as be bowed before an oil painting, dingy with years,

SAO DSGKXIKfUTK, FXAB."

vhettoo looked tho stem but courtly features of Rerolttttoaaty worthy to the unlformof hi* period, "Getter*! Geoffrey Mar* tor whom am named, one of Washlnpton's most trusted friend* and lieuteoOftDM on roaay a well fought flekL He laid

the foundation of oar family fortunes through the grant of land given him by congresK, which originally included this and several adjoining towns." "Lucky dog," slghod Adams "to have inherited lots of money and a distinguished name but, all tho game, you can't unsheatho your great-great-grandfather's sword." "No neither literally nor as a figure of speech," said Geoffrey, struggling in vain with the rusted sword blade and refusing his friend's offer of help, "I'm a sad degenerate, I fear. Here I am ten years out of college and am only an idler and a dilettante, with little prospect of ever being anything else, while you, lncky dog—you have everything before you, and nothing behind except splendid health and energy. I tell you, my boy, you'll make the bagpipes scream, while 1 shan't even whistle through the chanter, as my old Scotch nurse would say." V-

Adams laughed a little In hls^leeve.'for ho suspected the cause of this pessimism, so alien to Geoffrey's usual easy and ani mated temper, to be bis bitter quarrel with Janet Hardy, a very lovely but energetic young person of tbo modern school, always unhappy unless she was "doing things." Janet also came of distinguished colonial stock and was prominent in tbo local chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution, an institution of which she was proud beyond measure. "What a charming thing is repose in woman," be bad said to his betrothed a few weoks before on her returning from the great convention which bad assem bled the Daughters and the Colonial Dames together in New York for the main purpose of instigating a greater interest in tho Fourth of July and its proper celebration. Janet bad rattled on with great enthusiasm about what bad been said and done by theso feminine patriots. This meditative remark of Geoffrey's struck flro. This response was a thrust on riposte, at once parry and lunge: "D'ye think so, my Lord Dawdle," she had answered with a snap in her brilliant black eyes, "more so at all events than re pose in man, which tho wise sometimes call self conceited stock."

This stinging reply had led to other ox changes in which their unruly tongues betrayed them, and the result, BB sometimes occurs betweon a couple genuinely fond of each other, was a rupture and mutual re turn of various little mementos, leaving the twingos of heartache behind.

As may be inferred from Geoffrey's unfortunate remark, ho had but little sympathy with the bustling business woman of the now age, even when bo approved tbo aims to be aohieved. In this case bo was in lively aooord with tho object of Janot's eager agitation, which first flrod the women and through thorn kindled tho men into aflame of oommemorntive ardor. Scornfully as she bore horself and ooldly

HKR HEART WAS RAGING WITH TENDER PITY, polito as was Geoffrey in the occasional passing word, she knew (perhaps the sly rogue's zeal was none tho less for this) that bo was proving her most offlolont ally. Certainly it was his suggestion, which had been adoptod nom. con. as to the special form which tho oelobration of the groat fete day should take. This was planned on tho following schodulo: First, a grand prooesnlon in the morning consisting of about 100 of the principal men of Wiliiston aud tho vicinity riding on horseback In the costumo of the Revolutionary epooh, military and clvio, followed by as many ladies correspondingly attired in carriages, then by a regiment of the national guard secondly, tho usual patriotic address by the most ominont of the looal celohrlties, Judgo Peterson, and a great picnic in a grove, and in the evening elaborate fireworks for the people on the Wiliiston green, with a costume ball at the town hall for the gentry in the same attire as that of th» morning. All this involved considerable expense and preparation, but Wiliiston was a place of large wealth, and the residents bad been thoroughly aroused to moot the occasion. "Well, continue to show as much 'go' in any direction worth while as you have put Into this Fourth of July matter," mid Adams, pursuant of their talk, "and you'll falsify your own prediction." "That's the detiee of It," answered Geoff, with a deprecating frown. "This is fun, and it appeals to a fellow's patriotic pride. Tbo other is work—genuine grind. I have thought for a good while that the country has let Independence day die into a sort of mummied holiday without any life in it, precisely like this rusty sword blade, eonfound it!" as he still tugged at the brass hilt. "X must put oil in and soak it out. I don't suppose shall have to draw It on parade, but that steel must oome out of prison. Anr by the way, there's an old tradition in the u^ily whioh I remember as a buy. The general loft an injunction In his will that at least once a year bis descendant possessing the sword should unsbeath it and keep the blade bright. I bad forgotten about it till this moment, and I don't believe that any one rise has ever thought of Ik But I'll do it yet and redeem some of my laxy ancestor*." "Good for you," said Adams. "Metbiaks 1 already see the old gentleman smiling on you from bis portrait," for just then a burst of sunlight through a cloudy day flashed into the room and brightened the somber paint of the picture.

Another ten days brought the great occasion tor which Wiliiston was all agog. Early in the morning Geoffrey again set work ou the obstinate

SWOJ

which bad been assiduously coaxed with oil but no amount of straggle was able ix»*:n the d-a. To hi* disgust he felt ged to git up tor the nonce, but he anticipated no awkwardness, as be oould see no occasion for drawing of rwords except oh the part of the militia officers. Is any ease that was the proper sword tor him to wear.

Poor fellow I He little guessed that, however unthoogbt of In advance, the Inspir*-

tion of every heart in or outpf uniforms, when steel was worn by the side, would be to flash its brightness in the July sunlight in salute of Old Glory as they passed the green over which fluttered its silken folds. And so it came to pass. As the cavalcade reached the line of the flagstaff a whisper ran among the Revolutionary worthies. Every band was clapped to every hilt, Geoffrey's among them. Sweat drops beaded his face in agony of his effort, and as be writhed and bit off bad words underneath his mustache the irreverent and irrospressible small boy, so much in evidence at ppectacles, began to snicker. This piece of real life comedy attracted attention and was noticed even by those in

lis

"I BRIXG YOU A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD," HE SAID. tho first carriage not far away, for the road curved sharply around the green oval. "Mr.^iamoe is JOBS apt.with the cold steel than his ancestors have been," giggled a fair one sitting with Janet HardyMary Bodkin, who, report said, had vainly angled for tho unfortunate Gooff.

Tho sharp retort flew to Janet's tongue: "I suppose so. The kind of 'steal' he is more familiar with is that of hearts of silly girls he never cared a bodkin for." Her heart was raging with tendor pity and sympathy, and sho resented ridioulo like a slap in the faco,

Geoffrey did succeed in drawing that demon sword at last, aud a pioco of paper fluttered from it, whioh he saw had as much to do with its reluctanoo to oome forth as bad the rust of years. Ho thrust it in his pocket as it was restorod to him by a bystander, though not without observing that it was closely covered with writing. He took the earliest opportunity, which was at the plcnio, to examine his mysterious find, and great were his wonder and delight in deciphering the faded and oil stained wards.

It was his statement made over the signature of his great-great-grand father, Genoral Marooe: "And I have set forth in my last testament that the sword around wbiohthis is wrapped shall be drawn from tho sheathe for scouring onoe year and the paper rewrapped again, to tho end that each inheritor of the sword once wet with the blood of Marcus Hardy, however cleansed thereafter by nobler service, may heed."

Tho dooument set forth how a young hot head, flushed with wino, had grossly insulted his friend at a tavern brawl and the twain bad gone out to ruffle it with naked swords in the early morning light. 'Twas little after dawn of July 0, 1776, when, horror stricken, I looked down on my victim with his blood stained breast. As I groaned in ray agony there came the olatter of resounding hoofs on the pike, ono riding in furious baste, haggard and weary looking, as who had spared neither spur nor whip all night. 'Help to get* surgoon for a wounded man I' I cried. He shouted baok: 'I stay neither for life nor death. The colonies declared independence two days agone at Philadelphia, and I bear tho tidings to New York.' And at the wondorful words the dying man raised bis head with a light of joy beyond words in bis pallid face as be panted from betwixt the blood froth of his lips: '1 die happy now, Geoffrey, for the country will be free, even though I shall not live to fight for it. Think naught mure of your part in my doath, but rather bear yourself like two men for tho dear land.' Wo got him at last safe to good nursing, and Marcus Hardy lived to be my gallant oomrade through the war, and we became even as David and Jonathan thereafter. I do hereby onjoln my descendants to keep tbe friendship of Marooe and Hardy ever unbroken even to the end, that they may always fight tbe battle of life with band clasp and united hearts."

Is it a marvel that Geoffrey beard but little of tbe orators' burning periods and that tbe picnic gayety fell flat and stale on him? Amid all tbe buzs of congratulation bis heart beat impatiently for the evening and a quiet word with Janet which would oome with it.

His eye followed her stately figure through the mazes of tbe danoe at tbe ball and reveled in the beauty of tbe black eyes under tbe powdered hair and tbe twin roses accented with dainty patches. But be avoided more than a oommonplaoe greeting and did not even ask to walk a quadrille. But he found opportunity to drop a passing whisper: "Meet me in the reoeption room off the ball in ten minutes. 1 must see you." "I bring you a message from tbe dead," be said as ber eyes met his in curious query. "The dead are Inflnitely Oondescehding to leave their repose to disturb our repose," die answered with a little malice, courtesying in old time fashion. "When I drew that unlucky yet most lucky sword this morning, something came oat with it." And be unsheathed the sword again with tbe paper wrapped about it, holding the blade by the point in the attitude of surrender.

Satirical humor went out of ber sparkling face, and It softened as with aglow of tender wonder and anticipation. Holding the naked sword in one band, she read that Marooe legacy, and ber eyes were suffused into wells of liquid sweetness, which revealed all that Geoffrey could hope in them. "Doyou forgive me?" be said as the thrill of bar outstretched hand drew him to bear. "I didn't need this tor pardon," she whispered to hint. "My heart had forgiven you five minutes afterward. But you stupid men never know women."

He made an instinctive movement. "So, no: not now,"she said hurriedly as eba looked around, and then, as with anew thought, the obi keen look (lashed again into her eyes, and she continued with a peculiar significance in her tones: "Umi you pledge me now, Geoffrey dear, always to keep the sword scoured bright ami sharp? You know movement, not repowt, is the law of life."

He ebeathtrd the blade. When a fellow's wife has the ghost of his great-great grandfather looking over her shoulder, I fancy he'll have to do pretty much as she likes," be answered, with a laugh.

Take No Chances on the Fourth*

Don't talk politics on the Fourth. Don't go on a crowded excursion. Don't be ashamed to be patriotic. Don't get overheated early in the day. Don't carry loose powder in your pocket. Don't laugb at the drum major—pity him.

Don't put ail your fireworks in one heap. Don't drive a nervous horse on the Fourth.

Don't think powder is a respecter of persons. Don't encourage small boys to fire large cannon.

Don't take any chances' with a cracked cannon. Don't blow down the mouth of a loaded cannon.

A Remarkable Name.

Years ago, as a New England sea captain was signing a contract at a shipping office, he was observed by the official in charge to be writing a string of names. "Only sign for yourself, cap'en," cried the officer, "not for the whole crew.'' The captain grimly point ed out the heading—"Name in full"— and went on writing his piece, which, when he had done, the officer, after some trouble in deciphering, found to read thus: "Through-Much-Tribulation-We-Enter-Into-the-Kingdom-of-Heaven Clapp." "Will you please to tell me, Captain Clapp,'' said het with as demure a face as his violent inclination to indulge in a hearty laugh would allow him to put on, "what might your mother have called you in your infancy to save herself the trouble of repeating a sermon whenever she had occasion to name her darling?" "Why, sir," replied Captain Clapp, with laughable simplicity, "when I was little they used to call me Tribby for shortness."— Household Words.

Why Elephants Fear Mice. It seems incredible that so small and harmless an animal as a mouse is able to frighten an elephant almost out of his senses One little mouse in the hay on which they are feeding will stampede an entire herd. In their native land there are little animals, known as chacanas, which feed on a small, sour berry of which elephants are very fond. They live in settlements, something after the manner of prairie dogs, tinder the berry bushes.

When feeding, the elephants trample the little towns, and the chacanas, in their fright, run up the tubes of the elephants' trunks. Their long, sharp claws catch in the flesh, and they cannot be ejected. The more violently the monster blows through its coiled trunk the more firmly the hooked claws of the little animal become imbedded in the flesh. Inflammation and death are the result In' captivity the elephants think they are in danger of the deadly chacanas when they see a mouse.—New York Sun.

The Sultan and Our Missionaries.

The Porte has demanded the recall of two American Missionaries from the province of Aleppo, on the pretext that their mission is likely to cause disturbances. "The sick man of Europe" is as unreasonable as his political health is feeble. As a bright contrast to his obstinacy and stupidity, tbe people of America are acknowledging far and wide the beneficence of the mission of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, namely, to relieve and prevent malaria, rheumatism and kidney complaint, chronic dyspepsia, constipation and liver trouble.
