"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

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

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

The skippers peered through tholr
glasses until not ! vestige of the frail
craft could<> be seen, then 81 et

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
