rha rope WAS flrnt frmlv died. wien |

The rope was first firmly tied, with
pieces were attached 10 the back and
two arms, running thence TO the main
rope. about which they were carefully
braided and wound with small cord.
Then Archie seated himself in tho
chair, and was firmly tied into IL by
piece of rope passing about his waist.
He tucked the flag In on one side OF
his body and the mealsack on the
other. The sword he held In his hand
ready for immediate use. AS final
precaution the loose end of the rope
was tied around a tree.
"Now, remember" said Archie TO
the other boys, that you are 10 do just
as / tell you. IL you shouldn't be able
10 hear me call. bear In mind that two
witches on the rope mean lower
three witches haul up while Just one
twitch means stop where you are
Are you all ready2"
YES" answered the other boys.
They were quite pale, and looked a
good deal more anxious than Archie
did.
Archie let himself slowly over, the
edge OF the cliff, facing it, while the
other boys paid out on the rope. Their
companion gradually disappeared from
sight They could hear his clear voice
crying out every few minutes: "Al
right, boysl Lower away" The rope
uncoiled foot by foot. Archie was

and not far from the eagles eyrie.
Suddenly there was fierce rush OF
wings from above. The parent eagles
darted down so close 10 the intrepid
boys head that one OF them brushed
his cap off, and it went whirling down
to the base OF the cliff.
Archie slashed about him with his
sword, and the eagles wheeled away
for minute; then they came swoop-
Ing back, fiercer than ever. The
boy was now but few feet above the
shelf of rock, and the young eagles
were adding their harsh cries to the
screams OF the old birds The boys on
top OF the cliff, no longer able TO hear
their companions voice, and terrified
by the cutlery beneath them, ceased
lowering on the rope. Archie was
fighting Off the eagles with all his
might, and had no chance TO give a
signal. Finally, he struck one OF the
great birds telling blow, which broke
its wing; and as IL went screaming
and fiuttering down the cliff, the other
eagle ceased for moment its fierce
attacks. Then Archie grasped the
rope in front OF him and pulled sharp
ly upon IL twice. His blood was up,
and he was bound not to back out,
now that he was SO near the COW
eted prize. Thus treasured, his COM
panions continued TO let him down. A
little further-therel His feet have
touched the ledge and he calls out,
and, at the same time, signals TO the
boys: Hold where you are!"

then the parent eagles came wheeling
over the cliff. They swooped down
very near the little group on the rocks,
and their broad wings made whist
ling and roaring sound which would
have frightened most boys thoroughly.
But Archie, who was the oldest OF the
four young Adventures, and their
natural leader, and who had announced
his intention Of going down tho cliff
for the young eagle when the time
came, did not seem 10 be at all scared.
THE sword will keep the old birds
of, he remarked. IF IL doesn't they
will get the worst OF it"
Archie lay down on the edge OF the
cliff and looked over yes, we ARE
Just exactly over the ledge where the
nest is" he said, as he rose 10 his feet
again. THE rope wants 20 pass over
that smooth. hollowed-out rock That
will take me down just right, and the
shelf isn't more than forty feet below
ms. Just take n look, boys, and see
the little caglets moving around and
raising their wings. just as II they
were going 20 Ayl Lucky they can't
fly, though. II they could. we should
never catch one i'm the world"
The other boys cautiously drew
themselves up to the edge OF the cliff
and looked over. The face OF rock be-
meath them was about one hundred
and twenty feet high. IL was almost
perpendicular; but there were shelves
and crcvices, here and there, whose
thin layer OF soil gave foothold 10 n
few shrubs and dwarf trees.
MY should hate 60 go down
thcre" exclaimed Willie Hills. as he
pushed himself carefully back from the
edge OF the cliff.
"Pooh! replied Archie. "It's as safe
as sitting I'm church, II you fellows
keep tight hold OF the rope and do as
tell you, Well, let's begin operations :

-eh?"
The boys broke from each others
embrace and danced around like wild
Indians.
"Gloriousi" cried Willie Hills.
"Splendidr' cried Charlie Graham.
"Immensel" cried Dick Pond.
"Well, meet Dick and mo here at
eight o'clock, them" said Archie.
"And mind you don't say a word about
the scheme to anybody. There's just
the rope we want upstairs here in I'M
Gle Williams barn, and there's n stout
little basket-chair without any legs for
the fellow to sit on who goes down the
cliff for the eagle"
At fifteen minutes past eight that
morning, the four boys stole down the
back stairs of Uncle William Ponds
barn, with the following articles In
their possession: Ninety feet of rope,
a legless willow armchair. n big
United States fiag-used for draping
public halls; n rusty old sword without
a scabbard, and an empty canvas meal
sack. They sneahed across the garden
and the pasture. keeping the barn be-
tween themselves and the house. Then
they crossed the road and took path
through the woods and up the rocky
slope which eliminated in Bryant's
cliff.
II don't believe there are five fell
lows in town who know about that
eagles nest" said Archie Pond.
"Nor /, either, replied Willie Hills.
"I shouldn't have known anything

THAT was splendid idea Of yours,

across the shelf where the nest is, !"
cried Archie. Wont IL look pictur-
esque. though, and patrioticl II uncle
could only see 1t, know he wouldn't

When the boys reached the cliff,
they hid the things which they had
brought with them and took a good
view of the surrounding country, to
make sure that no one was in sight.
Only tho white steeples OF the two
village churches could be seen CLEAN
ing over the treetops. There were no
houses in the vicinity, and, as it was
the great national holiday, no hay
makers were at work In the meadows
beneath the cliff. II guess the coast

There is a dead mule back In Ken
lucky, a sun-colored, fool mule. For a
long time this mule and n swagger
young bull have lived on the farm OF
the Benedictine monks, beyond Cow
ington. When the brothers rose the
other day there was an unearthly
sound in the pasture lot below tho
monastery. The blood ran in streams
from tho bulls nose and mouth. The
mule was unhurt. He was moving on
n pivot. with his heels ever toward the
big, angry brute on the circumference
of the circle trodden in the grass. Sud-
denly, with lowered head and below
like thunder. the bull rushed at tho
mule There was n flash OF steel, n
thud and the bull was on his knees, tho
mule was on the kick Time and again
the bull went down before the mules
lightning feet. Once more he made tho
rush, then retired, seemingly beaten.
The mule looked about, shook himself,
and began TO eat grass. The first time
his eyes had left that bull the latter
saw his chance. When he had finished
with the mule there was scarcely
enough left TO bury. One Of the monks
said he was a fool, like every other
mule; then they killed the bull 70 put
him out OF his misery. Cincinnati

He was given n warm welcome, but

q glow OF satisfaction from within, as
tho old brass cannon belched forth its
uncarthly roar at three o'clock on the
morning OF the glorious Fourth OF
July. The air was full OF patriotism,
so full that IL was as impossible for
the moderate patriots TO sleep as IL was
for the extreme patriots 20 keep still.
Cannons, horns, frecraclSers, torpedoes
and hoorays made the welkin ring.
All the boys OF Riverton were out in
force. For the next twenty hours
there would be- a premium on noise.
Think OF that, from boys standpoint
Could there be much better substi-
tute for Paradise?
Archie and Dick Pond. Charlie Gra-
ham and Willie Hills were at the Same
time the happicst and the noisiest
boys In town; for they had the forty
pound brass cannon which belonged
20 Uncle William Ponds dismnntled
yacht. This venerable piece of artil-
lery was not one of the modern breech-
loading yacht cannons, but n rather
clumsy, old-fashioned muzzle-loader,
which had seen actual service in the
great "oyster war" II was more than
fifty years old, and was one OF the
first brass oannons made for an
American yacht But IL was the
largest cannon In Riverton, and for
Fourth OF July purposes was the envy
OF every boy within five miles.
Wasn't that screamerr exclaimed
Archie Pond, delightedly, as the last
reverberation OF old Brass Betty"
as they called her, died away on tho
startled air

"And did you see how far she kicked

for keeps"
"Yes, and well touch her of under
Principal Mason's window. Tie can't
say anything, seeing it's Fourth Of

and impartial rounds, never touching
