What better than that he reward me with the hand of O-loa, his daughter?

Pegry sighed when the grand oration was finished and David looked disappointed. Mrs. B. saw their faces, and be- ing a very sympathetic friend of little folks, she said, “You want a real little Fourth of July story, don't you, dears? I can't remem- ber that civil war time, but 10 years later, over in Walla Walla, 1 was belong a very patriotic lit- ue girl. “Seattle was much bigger then with almost 1,500 people in it, and Seattle and Port Townsend and Port Madison and all the Sound settlements were having their patriotic celebrations. “And in Walla Walla a grand parade with the Jiberty car as the chief feature, “There was to be a Goddess of Liberty, an dbehind her on ,the float, were to be little girls, each carrying the flag of a state; every state was to be represented be cause the war was over and we were still ‘one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all’ “There was to be a speech and some one was to read the Declara- tion of Independence. Well, you can imagine how all the little sirls*in Walla Walla wanted to ride in that Liberty car, “I was in a perfect fever of anxiety for fear I wouldn't be chosen, because I was only a very Nittie girl. “But finally the names were #iven out and I was one of the ‘states.’ “I had a new white swiss with many tiny ruffles and I watched its making with intense excite ment; I could hardly wait for the day to come. “I remember so well-that week before. Every once In a while some one would say, ‘Did you |hear any strange noises down- town last night? And he answer would be, ‘I surely did.

When Dot brought me the glass of milk I said to her: “Now you go and rest, sweetheart; T can sec you've had a mighty hard time.” Bobbie I persuaded to take the milk by the time-honored trick of “now a@ spoonful for Bobbie” and “now a spoonful for daddy.” When he got near the bottom of the glass he lifted it in his two hands and drank the remainder of the milk like a man. Then I tucked him in his crib and Dot came to kiss the little fellow good night. We had a cold supper that night. ("1 was so tired I knew you wouldn't Confessions of a Husband 51.

Edith had no children; her two maids relieved her of most house hold worries.
