A STORY OF TWO FLAGS.
How "A arau's Life Was saved at the
Very Last Moment.

Very Lnat Moment.
The following stirring incident OF the
two hags happened at Valparaiso,
Chile. and was related at Montreal Ia
1881 by the Rev Dr. ]. o. Peck. DR..
Peck said:
The man who gave me the facts |
am about to relate was Mr.. Haskins.
an American sailor who had sailed to
port IN Chile. On going ashore, he
said. to enjoy his day OF liberty he
drank a little and became hilarious.
One of the police officers. instead OF
warning him not to make noise in
the street. drew his sword and. strik-
Ing him a blow. knocked him down.
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down In
return. He was on that arrested and
ixled and condemned to be shot In the
morning Of the following day.
"Mr. Lorlng. the American consul, ex-
postulated with the authorities that It
would be monstrous TO shoot the man
for such an offense, but they paid no
attention to him. so he thereupOn made
formal protest I'm the name of the
United States government against the
barbarous act. Mr.. Haskins. the sail
or, was I'm the morning brought out
pinioned to be shot.
"As the English consul was prepar-
Ing to hoist the union Jack he saw the
crowd In the field opposite. where the
execution OF the American sailor. OF
which he had heard WAS TO take place.
Rushing over the American consul, he
said, Ioring. you're not going to let
them shoot that man!
What can ! doT he said 1 have
protested against il. | can do no more
"Ouick as thought the English con-
sui shouted. give me your tag. And
In trice the stars and stripes were
handed to the English representative.
At once. taking his own union jack In
his hand. he FASTENED across the field,
elbowed his way through the crowd
and soldiery. and. running up to the
doomed man. he folded the American
dag around him and then laid the un-
ion jack over 1t. Standing a few PAGES
back. he faced the officers and soldiers
and shouted defantly, Now, shoot, II
you dare. through the heart of Eng
! land and America!
"And they dared not do it, for they
feared the consequences, so the mar
was at once released. In telling me,
said DR.. Peck. "Mr. Haskins said tC
me, with tears streaming down his
cheeks even then, They loosed mt
then. and. oh. how l longed TO embrace
those two fiagsg Anglo o-American.
