Rosy McNie stole out of the house
that night after dark and delivered the
church key into True's hands. receiv-

toipedoes that had cost a large share

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 a fish horn; but there
were very few people astir.
This stupid old town will get a walk

ought to thank us. It's a burning
shame to have it so still. You may be

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. 1t came to the

sleeping boys, who sprang to their feet,

was the report of a cannon, and that his

II 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 ii yesterday" True thought that

beam struck the corner, they never
would have found it, for who would
have thought that anybody would car
ry il away up there to hide it?
1t was no small undertaking TO re-
place the tongue in the bell, bnt, after
much hfting and struggling, it was
done, however. Then they all pulled
with a will, and a clang that almost
deafened them came from the bell.
Sleeping Cherryfield was aroused in a
very few minutes, and asked, in amaze
ment, what was the matter. The new
| fire engine was taken out with rush
| and clamor. But where was the fire
People ran wildly about and nobody
semed TO know. The most mystified
man was old Sandy McVie, who ran out
of the house in a maze of bewilderment,
and declared that the bell was be-
witched. How else could ii ring with
out tongue? And how could any hu-
man being get into the church when the
door was securely locked, and no win
| dow broken, as anybody could see?
And still the bell rang wildly and
| clamorously, as such a sober-minded
old church bell was never known to ring
before. The spirit of half a dozen
Fourths of July seem TO possess il.
People on the outskirts of the town
began to think that the selectmen had
repented of not celebrating the Fourth,
and were making amends by celebrat-
ing the 5th, and they came hurriedly
driving into the village to see what
was the matter.
At length somebody more courageous
than Sandy McNie insisted upon going
into the church TO investigate, and
Sandy went 20 get the key. The dis
covery that it was gone put new
face upon the matter, and Sandy's sus-
picions reverted to the boys whose
plans he had overheard, and he volun-
teered to break open a window and
lead the search.

his elbow, and causing it TO fall with a

True.

was broken off, and there was no way

How long do you suppose it will be be-
fore they miss us at home and come to
look for us?"
"Why, they'd never think of coming
here to look" replied True. And my
mother said l might stay all night with
my cousins over at Borrowsville. She
won't expect me home till tomorrow
and your folks will think you've stayed
with me. Anyway, they would never
think we were up in The church
steeple."
"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 il
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 them" 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

In 1886 the steamboat Arabia, q large
sidewheeler l25 feet long, left ST. Louis

barrels of whisky. 1t reached Portville
without incident, but as it neared the

willow cOpse. A six-fOot caisson was

themselves on a pile of lumber, so the
