The young man colored hotly.“My own father is quite as opposed to it,” he returned quietly. “Of course, I know you are political enemies, but my father said if it was a question of my future happiness he could swal- low it." “Swallow it—meaning me, eh?” chortled Mr. Sellew, whirling violent. ly about in his chair. “You can tell your father, my boy, that he doesn't have to swallow me or my family.

There was a new motor car to go down, too, aid he had decided to drive it him- ¢1f as he was a skilled operator and the roads were perfect, He ordered the fireworks by tele: phone and stopped for them with the new car, for Alice had sent in an urgent reminder of their need. A few minutes afterward he went on his way, the tonneau of the car and every available inch of room in the scat beside him being filled with explosives. Rockets and Roman candles, red and green fire, set-pleces and cannon crackers made up the assortment. Jacob Sellew made an annual sac rifice of gunpowder to show his patriotism. , His trip across the ferry and along the suburban roads was uneventful. Things did not really begin to hap- pen until he reached the turnpike and speeded a little, snapped the financler, his hand on the pushbutton. “That love will win out in the end, because Alice and I do love each oth- er, and it seems a pity that two old men who have made money enough to render them happy in that way should stand in the path of our mak- ing ourselves happy in our own way.

The moon rose and made the road white and clear. There were still five miles between him and his home. He decided to smoke. He forgot that he carried a load of explosives.

It burst its flaming way through a handsome spruce tree and left de-| struction in its wake. Other rockets shot forth in the most independent manner. Fortunately most of them were headed away from the house. Roman candles pouted, red fire blazed luridly and the cannon crack: ers roared as they wrecked the new automobile. Jacob Sellew was on the ground, dancing frantically around the dan | gerous display, dodging rockets and candles with surprising agility. All at once came some stablemen headed by Jack Kendrick, carrying a long hose.
