We Co/or fiearet* Lucroha Nacy Gardner "H'm, a roll for Widow James' kid , at Bluff Ledge! 'Taint often a parcel conies by express for that chap!" wheezed Silas Carr, the captain of the Molly, as he drew a whiff at hlB pipe. "Shame about that little feller, I declare! He's so cute with his hands; seems though he makes up for his little shriveled legs," exclaimed one old skipper, _J.> '^There's something else on that bundle besides his name. I hain't got my readln^-spccs-?what is It?" "'Deliver before Julr Fourth,'" read Fred Vincent, agent of the local express. "Wall," drawled the' weather prophet of tho fishing village, "that's easier writ than done, with this sev enty-mile-gale blowin', and, what's more, 'taint goln' to stop In a hurry; storm signals flyinV "Oh, the kid can have his parcel tho day after to-morrow; 'taint likely he'll care." "Don't you fool yourself into think ing that, Si; why, Jim says he's as keen as a whetstone, and a reg-lar good American, allers readin' abo?\t tho soldiers that died for tho country, and?*" At that moment tho door flew open, and shouts of "Come aboard!" greeted the newcomer, a young fel low, slight and narrow-chested, in contrast with the dttirdy skippers, but peculiarly lithe and alert. As the wind swept through tho wooden building, the roll which stood In tho corner fell across the threshold. ^kook out, don't tread on that! It's fur the kid at the Ledge; got here two days ago with special instruc tions to deliver before the Fourth. Sounds fine, don't It?" asked a Jolly faced seaman with a twinkle In his eyes. ./'Something for little Dick? It's Mr. Saltonstall's writing, and I bet It's a flag." "Yes," the latost arrival added, as he gavo tho parcel closer Inspection, %f coursb it must be, a long roll like ?this, and than thla on ifL llvorcd before the Fourth.' " A long whistle followed these remarks. ^?WaH, It's one thing to ordef ft Bent, and It's another to git it there! City fc lit J? don't Vtinw nothin' about aech winds as these," said Silas, with disgust In his voice. ' "It won't bo tho last Fourth for the chap'?that kind allers hangs on, and?" "What kind?" thundered tho voice of the young skipper. "I don't know as he's to blame because, some fool ?hapa- nearly burned him to death seven years ago to-morrow, setting off their firecrackers, and never - ?-Mr?. W.

Those New Yorkers aent him i book on Lincoln last winter, and I'd just liked yotr to have hoard him me the whole story." bad tney didn't git that down >led Dan Farley. , saadc rer'r ^ known as "ftlfent Jim,' MM? % tfelS and his speech for the little cripple of Bluff Ledge was the longest that ho had made for many a day. When there wore sigps that the company was about ready to disperse, he strode to tho corner, took down the roll, and said quietly, "I'll see to this." "You won'fTThink of goin' secinr! fool trip, Jim? It won't bo no sea fur Bluff Ledge before another forty eight hours," exclaimed the oldest captain along tho water-front. "Your boat'U.be smashed to smith ereens, boy!" said Si. "You can't do it, never 1" I - rwan't no use talk In'; when Jim's Jaw is bet that way, we'd might ee well save our powder, but he wee clean crazy!" ' Jbe skipper of the Petrel was fully aware of the dangers that were be* fore him. He stowed the roll care fully away, covcred It with an old "oiler," lighted his pipe, set it firmly tot ween his lips, then gavo himself to the battle with the wind and wave. For hours it seemed mi though he were no nearer liluff l.edgc than two hours before, and it looked exceed* ingly doubtful how long the Petrel cpuld last in such a sea, when some thing loomed up on the unbroken stretch of ocean ? the Jifs-boat, manned by the crew from the station, whh coming! It needed skilful management to go up alongside of the Petrel; but, after, frequent attempts Jim was pulled aboard, drenched to the skin, and holding the roll in its covering. "What in creation is this? Are you wild to start out in such a gale?" was the first question after the Petrel had been fastened to the lifeboat./ "1 could have made a landing all right," Buld tho plucky little fellow, wheezing us he spoke, but with suf ficient presence of mind not to touch j the whisky that was offered. "No," he sold, "I'll be all right, and t.i mustn't touch ft drop of that." j Llttlo Dick who had been anxiously watching the angry eea ajl the fore noon, scaircoly leaving the window long endugh to eat hla dinner, had the greatest surprise In his life when a dozen men camo up the walk to his home. As soon as he caught eight jot his friend Jim, he turned pale, and called to his mother, "It's my Jim, and he has been saved by tho wreckers." It was a very Jolly wrecking-party r that stood ii\ tho little, low room, while Jim, bashful and conscious, ex claimed, "I have brought you some thing for your Fourth, Dick, and, thanks to these men, I've got lioro Ijefore Buneet." "No, you don't!" they shouted, "ho was coming ell right, Dick, but .we holpod him along." Dick trembled as he attempted to unye tho hard knots. "Heta, lad, take my knife?there's no time to fuse?there now!" exclaimed one of the brown-faced men. "That's tho talk?my, isn't it a beauty?" Tho boy's eyes sparklod, his breath came In quick gasps as the whole glory of tho Stars and Stripes lay bo- , fore him;?Tenderly his .little-hands traced tho outlino of the stars on their blue background, while the weather- ! beaten seamen, with Jim In their J midst, and the delicate llttlo woman ! looked on in admiration. "Now I'll fetch a pole, and we'll I hang it, Dick." CARPENTER'S HALL;, PHILADELPHIA, PA. "Where First Continental Congreea Assembled, 1774. A chorus or "nevers" wag heard from one eud of tbe shanty to tho other.. ?-^Phe Petrel's seen-gaaa before; anyway I'm going to try to reach the Ledge; the wind may fool all of ns, and go down." The gray heads shook dubiously, nnri' hlunt Captain Brewster said, "Another Declaration of Independ ence, by vum!" as Jim strode out Into the night, The next morning found him in his sow'wester," and cap drawn over bis short, curly hair, preparing for the expedition. He had hopeft to leave the wharf before tho usual of skippers should be settled in front of the fish-houses, but that'was the very day tboy chose to be down early. You're awful rosky, and the game ain't wuth the candle; tho wind's dead ahead!" shouted Captain Drews tor. "I know all about it, Tjut I'm bound to have this flag fer this Fourth of July, and notHie next. We've been told to go through fire and water for Old Glory, you know, and the Petrel andiTOWJg?ter. " The skippers peered through tholr glasses until not ! vestige of the frail craft could<> be seen, then 81 et "I'm goln' Into the towerTft mrtcb him ee long ee I cab. ?Ef there ain't & lot of grit in that small parcel, then my name ain't what it is* B?t> I ?, Jim's golu'to ketch it!" hours the Petrel seemed to be making no headway, and not until the point of land that projected far out into the tea had hidden the 1xJ*t from latter leave "No, Jim,'you sit still,suggested Dick's mother. "I've got some hot' coffee for you and a piece of steak; jthfl-Dther men will see to the flag." How bravely It was flung out on the piercing northwest gale, while Captain Sawyer brought forth bis harmonica, and Mrs. James led the men's voices in "America," In which little Dick's sweet soprauo uiiiigleu. Dick throw his armB around Jim's neck, and exclaimed, "This Is the W7 best Fourth of July I ever had, and all becauso you brought me the flag in.time." The/ letter that went to the Salton stalts was so full of the praises of Jtra that, when the family came to Bltfir LedRo in August; the faithful fellow was, engaged to act as their skipper, and not a year passed but some token of their esteem was sent to Dick's color-bearer, who had felt hfr effort too great'to carry to the lit tle crlDple of BluffMie bis coun try's flag.
