AT TOE CELEBRATION
she found herself on the platform be
fore tlie iiiiilicme that tilled every part
of the crove. The Chairman of the
day stepiel forward and said:
"We will now listen to a solo, 'The
Star Spangled Itanner,' by Miss Louisa
May H.itllel.l "
At this some of the 1 Irani! Army
men set ui a shout, and Louisa May
walked to the linn, of the platform
with 1 In- laiire silk tlac slie was to
hold while dic sane.
Tin sipplaiise died away and. the or-eaui.-t
had jut beemi to play the pre
lude, when a boy shouted shrilly
"lb'il head: Med head: Metier look
out or the tin works will catch:"

troin head to foot. The Mac fell from
her Iiaial ilmvi: over the cd.'e of the
plat fortit. Then in an neoiiy of em
liarrassineiit siie put but U hands over
her face ad bee.in to cry.
The boy who had called out "Ued
head:" suddenly felt a hand jirlp the
back of his collar, and he was jerked
from his seat by tin irate little old
man.
"I'll let ye know Uow ye call my
eraii'ilauehter 'red heail.' ye little sass

boxed the liowlme boy's ears. Then
he hurried toward the platform and
up the steps. A iiueer-lookine old man
he was. with lone white hair and
beard. He had on it stillly starched
linen "duster" and lirltflit blue Jen 11
trousers. Hurrying to Louisa May's
side, lie put his arm around her waist
and said, soothiuely:
"There, there. Lotilsy May: liotft
you mind that impudent little sass
box! You sine your song now. Come,
grandpa will start ye off on It:"
The old man picked up the Hag which
she had let fall to the platform, and
holdine its stuff in one hand while his
other arm was round Louisa May's
waist, lie began to sitti: in a thine, wav
ei lne. but not unmusical voice:

he kissed her, and Louisa saw in a cor

"Why. grandpa:" she exclaiinel, nnd
tluug her anus around his neck, half
