PHIL KELSEY S FIREWORKS. 59

“There won’t be heat enough to set any-
thing afire, and no one will be in the
factory and find them there.

Nevertheless, he was a little bit uncom-
fortable about the situation. He hada
conviction that his father would disap-
prove of his action, . However, he put
this thought away from him and started
homeward. On his way he passed Grant
Murray, who had been loitering about
the mill, and who had witnessed what he
had done.

Usually Grant was a very good boy,
but on this occasion he was in an ex-
tremely ugly humor. The spirit of envy
had taken possession of him. He told
himself that it was all wrong that Philip
Kelsey should have such a wealth of fire-
works while all the other boys in Cotton-
ville had not so much as a single pack of
crackers.
