It was known to few historians In a vague way that his name was William Hurry and that he was a man well advanced In years on that Immortal day, but the familiar poem, "The Liberty Bellman," with Its thrilling lines "Ring he Bhout3. "Ring, grandpal Ring, oh. ring tor liberty And straightway at the signal The old bellman lifts his hand And sends the good news making Iron muslo through the land, had surrounded Hurry with a legendary atmosphere that made many persons Inches in width, and there are 1,450 yards of bunting Id the Has, The In aud to make much noise and go on a picnic and have a high old time. Accordingly James Dunstan Dasho arose about the first watch of the morning and went Into an inner court of his house, where slept his sons and his daughters and his bird dog. Aud when be found them slumbering he cried out in a large voice: "Arise, you young coyotes! This Is the Fourth, and man must needs get up early and chase himself, lest the night come and find him sober and un-mutllated." So they all got busy.

And James and his sons straightway yoked up his mules and attached them to the spring-less wagon. And they all got In and went a long journey Into a far country, where there was a lake no larger than a man's hand. And with them also was a small keg which contained neither molasses nor nails. And there were also many other people gathered together at the lake, aud to each other they murmured, "Isn't this lovely?" Then did James go forth with a friend and slay birds. And they dragged a ten pound shotgun over a plowed field about twelve miles, and they said tention at first was to have the flag float from a staff In front of the building, but no pole of sufficient strength could be obtained, tbe bunting weighing 450 pounds.

and thought miserably of what a different Fourth of July ho had anticipated. It was to have boon one of the old fashioned Greenville celebrations. The lire company would parade in the morning, and by noon they would all be at the grove. Squire Kinsman would have made the opening address and would have introduced Hugh ns "our rising young attorney." and he had liked to think how a little whisper would run through the crowd ns he rose to read the Declaration of Independence, for it was known that he was soon to become the old squire's son-in-law, and this linking of names on the platform would have set tongues clacking. Then there would have been the picnic dinner, the boating on the lake, the stroll through the woods with Dorothy.

The vaults of the bank were In the cellar to save the expense of building 8 pier to raise the structure to the street level. In the wall on the store side was a breach, and on the floor lay the doors to the vault, blown off with dynamite. Three men were working over tbo contents of the safe, storing suit cases with the spoil, and from the leisurely fashion In which they worked Hugh was satisfied that they intended to take the train. If anything were dona It must be done without much assistance, for the people were nil out of town. Dwight would be of little use.

He might get help at the station. He brushed the dirt from his knees and strolled over to the postolhce. Dwight was standing lu the doorway, "Drat that Rem Vincent," he scolded "Seen him. Hugh?" "Gone to the grove." explained Hugh. "1 told him I'd take the bag up to the statlou and see that it got on board all right." "Jump in, and I'll drive you round that way," offered the postmaster.

Hugh shook his head. "I want to use the phone a moment." he said. "You hurry up. They've been at it almost an hour now." Dwight unlocked the door and jumped into the buggy. "It's a spring lock," he explained.

"He sure aud shut it when you're through. Giddap!" And the buggy sped off down the road Vincent had taken.
