n hoy of the woods the forest wan fur him acliool and playground and wuh frequently his bedroom this particular june livening jack resting after a strenuous dnv was sitting on a pile of lumber nntl gaz ing at the flagpole newly erected on the town hall newa a speedy traveler where tele phone papers and crowds mix seemed to alow up and get down to a crawl when it journeyed toward jacks town it had to work miles upstream against rolling logs along old rocky trails and through long stretches of woods lakes and other thing that go to make up a virgin country this time it had put on a little extra speed being helped along by some surveyors who had come as the advance guards of a party of rail road engineers nnd workmen the news was big news it was the presi dents war declaration and it had the village baaslng with excitement the surveyors had brought the hug along and one of them had left behind- him a pencil colored blue at one end and red at the other juek was the lucky under of the pencil and with it he was j on a piece of white wrapping paper to portray the scene spread before him the trees hills house and view in general proving too much for him heconcentrated on the flag fortyeight stars and thirteen strips said jack oohii but it la some flag i wonder who invented itt hi picture finished he climbed down from the log pile and wandered toward the town hall to proudly display to some of his hoy friends his copy of old olory from nowhere in particular similar to that mysterious place from which conjurers produce cards and rabbits jacks friends pro duced pieces of paper of various shades and shapes und the young ar tist was surrounded by a noisy crowd shouting a flag for me jack i make me one i do one for men across the math street the one and only street of the village was a group of men quietly dlscusuing the news and asking questions of an elderly man whose appearance showed htm to be a newcomer to the place the commotion created by the clam oring boys brought the quiet discus sion of the men to un end and the stranger strolled over to know what the uproar meant good i he exclaimed when he found out great hoys grenil thats the spirit boys be said but easy there fellows until i ask you a few questions what are you golngj to do with your flagk 8tlck it in my window shouted one boy paste ju on the wall ove my bed between lincoln aid wash ington

sonnds of flying ahells and bursting bombs mixed with the rattle of machtnn guns and the frightful roaring of the heavy cannon khnklclad figures rushed past jack a feurful explosion louder than any of the previous left jack dased at hla feet fell one of the khaki figure heating the ground striking the earth with his hands nnd hoarsely calling in a choked feehle voice for help jack wiih afraid at
