Mr, Hamilton had presented to the town & large flag which was to be ruised on the morrow, accompanied by appropriate exercises for the cel- ebration of the “Fourth.” Sallie was disappointed at not being able to attend the reception, and it must be confessed she thought more wbout the son Reginald than the fath- er. “I am not @& bit ill, and Aunt Emma wouldn't have thought of such a thing if Mabel hadn’t suggested -it, just be- cause I have a slight cold.” Rebellious tears staried to her eyes | but she dashed them away hastily, as she scolded herself. “Sallie Winthrop, are ! u going to be a baby and ery? Can't you have a good time. at home? What if you | haven’t seen Reginald Hamilton for five years If he wants to see you he knows where to find you. Maybe he has forgotten all about you during his studies and literary success. Perhaps the “Little Mischief” with golden hair the hercine fo the story thaghas been so successful, is a real person and his ideal. Five years is a long time; I wonder—" but she tossed her head and strove to drive all thoughts of the Hamiltons from her mind. “If I can persuade Jane we"ll have | a party of our own at home' snhe| thought, “make belleve, as we used to years ago.” The dimples came and went as she | thought of coaxing Jane. | She passed quickly toward the kitch- | en, where she found Jane reading, “Is it very interesting?” asked Sal- lie, as she glanced at the book, “Not very, but it helps pass the| time,” replied Jane | “Then help me have a “make believe” | party,” coaxed Sallie, We cam have | hot checolate, cake and cheese and | you can be company and dress in gray silk,” “What are T haven’t any gray silk.” “No, but 1 found a trunk up in the attic. vou talking about; lovely one in a It will fit you, I know.

"“We can't heve a- party without a gentleman in It, somewhere, so we'll invite Tommy, the cat, and call him Sir Thomas, and you can be Lady Jane." . “And -you” queried Jane, “will be Lady Bountiful?” “Oh, no; I'll just be—" But a peal of the doorbell stopped her, und Jane hastened to open the door. “Who can it be? I wonder if—" She heard a cheery voice greeting Jane and @ flush swept up to her hair, | then left her white again, for it was Reginald's voice and he had called, after all! 3 Just then a young man entered with outstretched hands. “Ah, lie! The years have passed, at last, and I am glad to be home again, but” glancing at her dz.ss. were you going out? “Oh, no, we were haying a party, Jane and I and 8ir Thomas,” she add- ed demurely. “As Sir Thomas has disappointed us will you kindly take his place ” “Certalnly . he replied, but with a sinking heart inquired, “Who is Sir ‘Thomas?" “Tommy, the cat” replied Sallie, feeling rather childish; “and Jane was Lady Jane. It's our old game of Make Believe” “Oh. I see,” sald Reginald, feeling relleved, “and who are you? “T am, Oh!! I didn't name myself.” “If you will allow me. I will tell you vour name; it is “Little Miss Mis- chief.” “Oh!” exclaimed Sallie with a gasp, but I haven't glorlous brown eyes and golden hair Reginald! Have I, June?’ ut Jane had quietly slipped away and her murmured excuse had been unheard, “Sallle, you were the inspiration eof | that story. Don’t yeu realize yet what you mean to me?” Then the conversation was centin- ued in low tone and ended to their mutual satisfaction, as was manifest by a flashing stone on Sallie's engage- ment finger, Reginald and Sallie mingled with the crowd before the Town Hall the following day, meeting many friends and_enjoying the speeches. “Do you knew, Sallie the motto, One One Country, One Flag, means more than ever to me after being in foreign lands.” He paused, then add- ed “Almost the same as “one love—till death do us part’ and steadfast eyes of gray looked down into trusting ones »f brown as they faced the vista of | vears, Over their heads the Stars and Stripes floated out in the July breeze, while the strains of the Star Spangled | | Banner inclined all hearts to patriot- ism.—Boston Record.
