(Copyright, 1S13. by the McClure News­paper Syndicate.)

Anything between the ridiculous and the sublime probably would have left j John Moran with a very uncertain appreciat ion of the Fourth of July j celebration. Neither the one nor the other, in his opinion, could have been very fruitful of results . But when the ridiculous followed close on the sub­lime, the two operated after a fash-Ion peculiarly uncalculated and ;

brought Susan Duvau to an lnatan- : taneous decision on a mat te r affecting John, wherein all the p's and q's she had lingered over so long never be-1 came finally resolved In her mind to ' a syllogistic nicety.

Of the two ex t remes , the sublime had been del iberately planned; It was premeditated. The ridiculous wasn' t . The former was the result of a clever scheme and weeks of hard work. The lat ter was the chance of a minute, un­foreseen, unexpected, and, some might have said on the spot, unpropl t lous.

For several years John Moran had wcoed Susan Duvau, but, so far, he seemed to himself no nea re r the matri­monial goal than he had been at the beginning. All her people had been assist ing him without apparen t avail. He had pleaded with he r ; he had coaxed and cajoled and even assayed to coerce after a mild fashion, his th rea t s reaching that superlat ive pro­portion where he promised to identify himself for life with the sublime or­der of bachelorhood. But, to all this, she merely cast down her eyes de­murely and asked him to wait awhile.

John calculated that he had waited long enough. At first he had been patient, but now he was growing des­perate .

A score and one-half years had come and gone around the life of Susan, \ s her thirty-first b i r thday ap­proached. John, who had schemed un­til his hair was beginning to fall out, decided on a bold s t roke . He spent the afternoon with her that day. and. in the evening, they had dinner to­ge ther downtown.

Tha t night he sat with her on irte front porch, after the family had re­a red . Over them a dim light shii.tng from the parlor window, cast a ijale '.•low. John sat quietly, wait ing for the si lence he depended on for the fur therance of his plan. After awhile it came, and then, when the st i l lness had locked the night in Its embrace , he began to hum, "Silver Th reads Among the Gold." When he bad drew his cha i r closer to hers, reached ceased, tears stood In his eyes. He out for her hand again, and asked her to become his wife. But it was the same old prosa ic .answer . "

"Walt awhile, John." she Insisted. 'Wait awhile. Do something grand.

Show me that you can rise to the oc­casion."

Rise to the occasion, he would. He resolved that (Irmly as he stood up forthwith and bade her good night. He resolved it all the way home. The next morning he still resolved it. Rut how?

A happy thought s t ruck him. John had a penchant for happy thoughts . He would make a spech a t a Fourth of July celebration It would be so grand and so eloquent, couched In such rich expressions and so laden with noble sent iment , that she could not help but feel the appeal. Ho ' would show her that he could "rise ' to the occas ion!"

John got out his old, Bchool dic­t ionary and brushed the dust from Its covers . Then ho borrowed HII Im­mense volume of mas terp iece ora t ions from n friend and read every speech he could Hud that contained any pa- . 11 otic reference or expression For ' four weeks, he labored a lmost Inces- | sant ly. night and doy, on his effuBlon and finally he had it completed.

An obstacle that John had not reck­oned on now loomed up. John was a member of the program commit tee , and he doubted the propriety of hav­ing hlmrfcll included among tho list of speakers Hut he remembered his penchant , and called It' Into play again, with good effect.

The morning before the celebration h e called uround to see the cha i rman o f the commit tee .

"you see— a b e m t — Mr, Grubbs^ ' \

John began, "being one of the commit­tee. I should regre t to see any part of the program fall fiat."

"Jus t so," answered the chai rman. "I feel the same way."

"Well, as a ma t t e r of precaut ion, Mr. Grubbs, I think I shall p repare a few remarks myself today. Should any of the speakers be tardy, or fail to respond, you might call on me."

"Fine idea. John. I'll do It." Then John took himself a round to

the res idence of Squire Sloan. He knocked a t the door and was admit­ted.

"Ahem, squire ," began John, after an Inquiry concerning his hos t ' s health, "we a re a l ter ing the program for tomorrow slightly."

"So?" "Yes. You see, on account of your

advanced years and the fact that you have been ailing, we thought it might suit you be t te r to speak, say, at 11:30 than at 11 o'clock."

"I believe It would," answered the old man.

About 11 o'clock the next morning, Chairman Grubbs scanned the gath­ering in vain for a glimpse of Squire iSioan Then, he stood up and an nounced:

"Though not appear ing on the pro­gram, the Hon

One night, t h r e e months later, alt­er the wedding toas t s had been pro­posed and John had made his re­sponse, ho m a d e a mental observation to himself, a s he took his seat.

"I wonder," he reflected, "whether it was my celebrat ion speech, or t he tumble I g o t ? "

Comforting News. A minis ter who preached for many

years in a s u b u r b of Cincinnati re­tired and went to Florida to live. After a year or so the re he paid his first visit to New York in 20 years .

He wandered about for two days, and then went to see an old Cincinnati friend.

"I have been watching t h e people in this ci ty," said the dominie to his friends, "and I wonder and grieve at tho money-madness I see everywhere . This rush and hurry and eagerness for money abashes me. It is as ton ish ing! Why, down In Flor ida one can live In comfort for $2,000 a year, but he re they think and talk and act In t e rms of mil l ions!

"It is all so vast and so complex!" he sighed. "Why, this afternoon I walked down by your tallest building. I stood on the curb and looked up and up and up, and tried to comprehend the immensi ty of that s t ructure . My

lohn Moran has been mind reeled. I felt faint and dizzy. I requested to make a few remarks . It leaned aga ins t t he building for sup-is not necessary tha t 1 Introduce our j port—and a passing newsboy chi rped:

'Cheer up , old spor t ! It a in ' t agoln ' es teemed fellow citizen." I As John approached the edge of the

platform he looked down into the face of Susan and made a menta l note of the surpr ise expressed In her coun­tenance . He paused a moment , as if Improvising a speech, while he chuckled inwardly at the satisfaction the occasion afforded. Now. he whis­pered to himself, he would show her the caliber of man he was ; he would prove that he could "rise to t he occasion."

And r ise to the occasion he un­doubtedly did. His was the most elo­quent, the most logical and the most impressive speech delivered that day. As he concluded he was greeted by a loud and prolonged applause. He stepped down from the platform and made his way toward Susan. As he approached, he observed a twinkle In her eyes, hut did not t rouble himself with an explanation jus t then. He" was too happy.

She arose and took hold of his a rm. "Let us go off to some place where

we can sit alone," she said. They made their way toward the

ou tsk i r t s of the crowd, When they had reached a point where they could speak without being overheard , he turned to her questioningly.

"Well ," he said, "did I—" "You certainly did John," she inter­

rupted. "Who would have thought i t ? "

The sublime had been a t ta ined. "Who wrote It for you, J o h n ? " she

asked. "Wro te i t ? " in hurt surprise . "Why,

nobody." They walked along In si lence. "How long did it t ake you to pre­

pa re It, J o h n ? " He did not answer. "Yes, you certainly did rise to the

occasion, John. Now, you wan careful not to fall, lest—"

Fa te would have It that ho fell tha t ins tant . Tv itted nnd s tung by her raillery, lie had been walking peril­ously r e a r the edge of tho high dirt bank that overhung the creek, with­out thought of danger. As she spoke, the ground beneath his feet gave way, and he went tumbling through the dirt nnd sand into eight feet of wate r below.

Susan shrieked, and the crowd, a larmed by her cry, began to rush to the spot. As tho ga the r ing In front of the speakers ' s tand broke away In large groups, the cha i rman arose and asked the causo of the commotion. He was answered by a litt le urchin, who stood up In tho seat of a farm wagon.

"Why, Jnck Moran's fell In tho crick," shouted the lad.

John was dragged out at the ford, a short d is tance down the creek. About his eyes, mouth, nose and ears , and over a part of his clothing, wero black splotches of mud. Resusci tat­ing methods wero applied, and as ho began to revive, the crowd drew back, leaving him stretched out on a buggy lap-robo and a t tended by Sunn.

When he opened his eyes, she was I.Heeling by his side and looking down Into his face

"Did I r i se—" he began* "Then- (hero," - sootBingly. "Yea,

you did. Now, Ho quiet ." She gently s troked the hair back

from his brow. He grasped her hand In his und shu suffered him to hold it
