but when she knows we're lost,
Rosy Movie will tell, if she hasn't al
ready" said Tenney.
"She won't. She's too much afraid of
her father to tell that she gave us the
key" averred True.
"But he'll find out that the key is
gone, and then he'll suspect that we are
here" said Tenney, who was deter
mined to look on the bright side.
Next Sunday, maybe! We shall be
starved to death before then!" said
Rob, who was not proving himself as
brave as his desire for fighting had led
his comrades to suppose.
Somebody must have got wind of
what we meant to do, or the tongue
wouldn't have been taken out of the
bell," said Tenney; "and no one could
be mean enough to keep us here for
long on the Fourth of july"
SANDY Movie is mean enough for
anything" declared Rob; "and perhaps
they have only taken the tongue out to
repair it, or something of that kind"
Sandy Movie meanwhile arose at five
o'clock and took a walk around the
church. There was no broken window.

THOSE who have predicted the ad-
vent of steamships that would make
the transatlantic trip in four days will
probably not have their prophecy full
filled in the immediate future. The
Cunard, White Star and American
lines are agreed on the question of
building more luxuriously fitted, but
less speedy boats for the service be-
tween the United States and the United
Kingdom. 1t has been demonstrated
that there is greater profit in slower
but larger vessels. The contention by
all big steamship lines is that speed is
costly and good accommodations are
more satisfactory to patr ons.

That afternoon Sandy Movie and his
son, stout lad of Is, paid visit to the
church. Archie, the son, came out,
looking very warm>and tired.
Better have let them do it, and then
make them smart for it, than to take
all that trouble" he grumbled. 'Or
just give their fathers hint of what
they are up to-
''Since they are so fond of jokes, I'm
willing they should have bit of a one" !"
said the sexton, rubbing his hands,
gleefully. They'll catch it fast enough
for breaking the church window"
Rosy Movie stole out of the house
that night after dark and delivered the
church key into True's hands, receiv-
ing in return an amount of candy and
torpedoes that had cost large share
of the boys Fourth of July savings.
But they were all satisfied that it was
money well spent, for they had learned
from sad experience that the results
of breaking windows were never anus
ing.
1t was about half-past four o'clock on
the morning of the Fourth when the
three boys unlocked the church door
1t was very quiet for Fourth of July
morning. Now and then came the
banging of gun, the feeble popping
of firecrackers and torpedoes, and the
dismal shrek of fish horn; but there
were very few people astir.
This stupid old town will get wax
ing up in minute now. And people
| ought to thank us. It's a burning
shame to have it so still. You may be

at Borrowsville by this time"

side of the river, where the boys mean
to assist in the celebration after the.

With bursting cracker and roaring gun
He walked the neighbors. every one;
He scared the cat out of all her sense.
And blew the stats on the picket fence,
And came to breakfast with one black eye,
And said: "Hooray, for the Fourth OF
July!"
He ate with hurry and frantic haste.
For never a minute had he to waste;
Then out again to the fray he sprang
And turned things loose with mighty
''bang!"
He fixed and spluttered and doomed and
crashed,
While dishes ratified and windows smashed; |;
And when, all grimy and sore and lame,
Torn and tousled, to lunch he came,
On his swollen lips was the joyous cry:
"Ain't glad it's the Fourth Of July!
All that day. till the twilight's close,
The powder-smoke from the garden rose;
All day long, in the heat and dust.

Till, just as the shadows began to creep.

Inaensndence Day.

Fling out the flag, the starry flag,
The banner of the free!
The symbol of the land we love,
The land of liberty!
Our fathers with their willing blood
Baptized that banner gay.
So let 1t stream, its stars agleam,
On Independence day!
From brave New England's rugged shore
Washed by Atlantic's waves,
To western lands whose pebbly strands
The fair Pacific laves-
From Minnesota's swamps and swales
To southern hummocks gay,
Fling out afar the stripes and stars
On Independence dayi
Fling out the flag. the dear old flag.
The flag our grandsires won!
The emblem of the land we love.
The land of Washington!
The blood OF heroes thrills our hearts
And bids us haste away,
To consecrate with fitting state
Our Independence day!

But no sound followed. They looked
at each other in silent amazement and
tried it again. They could feel that the
bell swayed backward and forward;
but it did not ring. What could be the
reason?
Somebody must have muffled it!" ex-
claimed Rob.
'Weu go up and see what's the mat
ter, anyway" said True.
A long, long fight of steep and mar
row stairs led to the first landing in
the church steeple. Beyond that was
ladder leading to the bell loft. There
was a trap door which they pushed
open, and all scrambled up to the loft.
eff here isn't go! The tongue is
gone from the bell!" cried True. Now
who do you suppose did that?"
"Rosy must have told on us. just
wish we hadn't given her all that can
dy," lamented Tenney.
The great bell hung there empty,
powerless to arouse any Fourth of July
enthusiasm, and looking as sad as if 1t
realized its dumbness.
81 should just like to catch the fellow
that did that" said Rob, fourishing his
fist at an imaginary foe, as he did SO, un-
fortunately striking the trap door with
his elbow, and causing it to fall with
| crash. 1t was somewhat dark in the
| loft, now that the trap door was closed
the only light coming from a little
round window. like a portfolio in ves-
sci, far above their heads.
Lift up the door, Rob. We may as
| well go down. Whoever took that
tongue out wouldn't leave it where we
could find it, you may be sure" said
/ True.
| But when Rob tried to lift the door
10 and behold! it stuck fast. The iron
ring which had once served as handle
was broken of, and there was no way
by which they could get a sufficiently
firm hold to pull with any considerable
amount of strength. They tried to pry
it open with their knives, but only sue
ceeded in breaking them. And time
was wearing away, and the Borrows
vile celebration must be getting to
ward its liveliest.

could hear u.s." said Tenney, despair
ingly.

hard and keen cravings sremlnded them
that they had gone breakfastless, din
nerless and supperless.
When True awakened, little shaft
of sunlight shone through the small
window, away up in the dimness of the
steeple. It danced upon the cobwebs
that covered the dusty beams until they
looked as if made of gold thread. A
great, long-legged spider was dragging
hapless fly into his web. The spiders
web had been partially torn away, and
the dust had been brushed from the
beams in the corner near it. There was
little scaffold in the corner covered
with shavings and chips, evidently left
there when the last repairing was done.
But somebody had been up in that cor
ner lately. How otherwise could the
dust have been brushed away and the
spiders web broken? True wondered
idly what anybody could have been
there for, and then sudden thought
to his head, and made him for moment
feel faint and dizzy. In another mo-
ment he was climbing up those beams
nimbly as only squirrel or boy could
climb. He put his hand under the heap
| of shavings and chips, and it touched
| something very hard and cold. He
dashed off the chips and shavings with
which it was covered, and disclosed
the bell tongue.
True wanted to shout for joy, but he
knew that he needed all his strength
| just now, and restrained himself. He
could not have lifted the bell tongue,
even if he had not been obliged to cling
| to beam with one hand, but he could
draw it along to the edge of the scaf-
| folding, and then with one mighty eff
| fort, he pushed it off. It came to the
| floor with crash that seemed as if it
might arouse all Cherryfeld, and cer-
tainly did effectually arouse the two
sleeping boys, who sprang to their feet,
Rob with vague impression that it
| was the report of cannon, and that his
time had now come to fight something.
1t was happy moment when they
realized that the bell tongue was found
though Tenney did grumble that they
ought to have been smart enough to
find it yesterday" True thought that
it he hadn't been awake when that sun
beam struck the corner, they never
would have found II, for who would
have thought that anybody would car
~ it away up there to hide it?
/ 1t was no small undertaking to r.
Place the tongue in the bell. but. a1tcz
