"Did they say anything about the fireworks in the post office?
"Why, yes. But what has that got to do with———"
"What did they say, Whopper?"
"Why, it seems Ham and Carl and some other fellows—-the same crowd that has been against us for so long—-have chipped in and ordered some fireworks from the city. They are going to set the fireworks off in front of the Dudder house on Fourth of July night. The Spink family and some others are to be there. Ham and Carl are boasting what a fine celebration it is to be."
"Then I know what I'm going to do," said Snap.
"What?" came from all of the others.
"They took our clothing—-why can't we take the fireworks?"
"Whoop! Just the cheese!" ejaculated Whopper. "We can set them off in the public square."
"Where the whole community can see them," added Giant.
"And we can return the remains after they are shot off," came from the doctor's son.
