Letter from the King" the Eagle
replied. It's special"
He carried a mail bag fastened
around his neck. 1t seemed 20 be quite
filed with letters. He grasped one Of
them with his talons and handed IT TO
the Sailor. .
"Good-byr' he said abruptly. and
dropped over the edge Of the cloud out
of sight
The Sailor opened the letter. which
was sealed with a great golden seal,
and read it.
Hum" he said looking perplexed-
There's going to be a hghtr'
Wo is going 70 hght?" Bertha
asked.
Those Thunder people," the Sailor
replied in disgusted tone. They can
never let US alone"
How do you defend yourselves?'
Bertha inquired in some alarm.
"Oh. we have the shooting stars. you
know" the Sailor said: "and the sun al
ways helps But I'm sorry IL had to
happen today"
do you mean we can't get 20 Cloud
land?" Bertha asked.
Don't you feel tired after talking so
much?' the Sailor replied evasively.
Bertha had not thought of ii before.
but she did feel little tired. The rab-
bits had crept timidly out OF their
pockets and were nibbling at the
Kings letter. which the Sailor had
dropped.
Smell this" the Sailor said encour-
agingly. offering her a bottle with a
glass stopper. 1T will do you good"
Bertha smelled II was something like
roses and vfolets and azalea all mixed
together. and it was so delicious that
she felt herself going TO sleep.
How long she slept she did not know,
but when she awoke she found herself
under the oak tree. She looked for the
cloud and saw IL sailing away over
head-at least it looked like the same
cloud-and she thought she caught a
glimpse of the Sailors pink face look
ing down over the edge at her. Cloud
land was still there. far away down
the valley and. sure enough. the Thun-
der people were coming. for thin black
clouds were rising over the tops of the
pasture hills and Bertha could hear the
sound of their cannon.
Never mind. Rosie" she said to her
doll. Wei go some other day" And
then she ran home as fast as she
could.

He put his hand into kind of pocket
In the cloud and felt around there for
some time Bertha noticed that there
were similar pockets all around the in
side where they sat.
I'm afraid isn't here" the sailor
said. Lets try the next one"
He drew out his hand and a large
green parrot came out with it, clinging
to his finger by its beak The parrot
Immediately perched on the side of the
cloud and began to scold at Bertha
Didn't he hurt your finger? she
asked in alarm.
"Oh, he always does the Sailor re-
piled. "Tll get even with him one of
these days"
de put his hand into another pocket,
which was very deep one. Here's
something." he cried; but 1T proved to
be only blue cat and eight pretty lit
tie blue kittens. The sailor put them
down. The old cat washed her face
and the kittens played around her,
rolling over each other and making
believe to fight.
II don't want ITO, say too much" the
Sailor remarked, looking at them
mournfully, but I'm disappointed
yes. I'm really disappointed!
"Oh, they're so pretty Bertha cried.
They'll keep the bats off. anyway"
the Sailor said, and / suppose that's
something, but not much"
He put his hand into another pocket

me. That's the easiest way out of It.
Very few do. you know"
I'm not at all surprised" Bertha
found herself saying.
Neither am l." the Sailor said. I'm
u-u-used to it," He took q large hand
kerchief out of his pocket and pressed
it TO his eyes.
There. there" Bertha said. II
wouldn't cry about il If were you"
Yes, you would" the Sailor re-
turned. IF you were l, you would do
Just as / do. you know, and II you
didn't, you would be somebody else.
Now / dare say you never thought
much on that topic beforeP'
He took his handkerchief from his
eyes and seemed so pleased that Bertha
said she hadn't. which was quite true.
Were getting along nicely now he
remarked.
Bertha stood up and looked over the
side of the cloud. She found that she
could see ever so far all around I'm

like a bed quilt. Some were dark.
and those were the woods; some were
green, and those were the meadows.
The pastures were yellow and the
plowed land was brown.
Cloudland was much more distinct
now The great mountains rose on
either hand, and there was wide val
ley between them very much like the

He was a very polite man except very
later at night, and even then he was
quite polite.
why don't you ask Mr.. Delaney he
said.
Petey. as we know had anticipated
this question. When he told the city
editor this he promised Petey he would
see about it. He was as good as his
word. for before going to his desk he
went over TO Mr.. Delaney's corner and
said: Delaney, why don't you give
those boys chair to sit on? Isn't
that bench uncomfortableg
Delaney flushed. He didn't much like
to be interfered with. even by night
city editors. They can have EN-. of
course, but you'll see how they'll use
EN- he prophesied. The next night
the boys found row of chairs placed
back of the night city desk and their
old bench removed ANONYMOUSLY TO
distant corner They greeted il with
lily suppressed triumph, while Delaney
sulked. But. alas. their triumph went
to their heads. They forgot what Pc
tey had said about behaving well for
some time after the change. Red and
Rosey couldn't resist the opportunity of
moving their chairs surreptitiously
over on one another's toes. Joe and
Tommy ran a race with their chairs
to a wide crack I'm the floor Red got
up match in tipping the chairs back
against the wall as far as possible, and
presently there was a terrible crash.
and boys and chairs min gled in an in
extricabie mass.
The night city editor had borne the
pushing and scraping and rocking and
tipping of the chairs and the sup
pressed laughter and saueals and scuf-
fling OF the boys, but this was too
much. The next nigat he stopped at
Delaney's corner. Delaney you were
right about those chairs" he said
They won't do; take ERA away" De-
laney gladly did so. When the boys
arrived the chairs were gone. and the
bench was back in the old place Now
1t was Delaney who was triumphant
and the boys who sulked Petey
looked at them a little gloomily. But
he was too much of leader to be dis
eouraged with his following. even un-
der such conditions There's only one
thing left" he declared after a mo-
ments thought. We've got to strike"
The proposition was greeted with a
suppre ssed cheer. Not that the boys
knew now they were going to do it. but
II sounded like fun and they trusted
Petey ''At midnight" announced that
astute youpg person. that's the busiest
time. Never strike while work is slack
I'll give the word and you all be right
here at the bench at II o'clock"
When midnight came that night in
the New Star Office Petey Flynn looked
around. Every copy boy stood at the
bench. Pick it up" said Petey in a
low voice. taking hold of one end of
the bench himself Every boy lent a
hand. Hurry it over toward the door,"
said Petsy.
The San Francisco call., 1906-07-15

Copy" called the night city editor.
Copy! called his assistants s'COpy,'
called the reporters. But no boy came
In answer TO their calls. 4-e night city
editor looked around angrily. Evil
IDENTIFY those boys were having another
fight. But instead. to his amazement.
he beheld the boys calmly carrying out
their bench.
Come back here.' he thundered.
Put that bench DOWN. Petey looked
at him calmly. We've struck" he an
nounced We can't sit on this bench
any more. They continued carrying
the bench out OF the city room.
But when they were halfway across
the room they were stopped again For
the door of the managing EDITORS room
opened and that august person came
out into the city room Now. the man
aging editor of a big newspaper is like
the great Sultan. whose Grand Vizier
the night city editor is. Nevertheless,
Petey stood his ground. although he
paused respectfully when the managing
editor stopped in amazement before the
boys
What's this?" he demanded sternly.
We've struck" answered Petey, and
he then and there laid before the man
aging editor the grievances. THE
bench makes our backs ache" explained
Petey
Me mother says I'm gettin' round
shouldered," chimed in Red.
Him." said the managing editor.
Gentlemen. resume YOUR work pending
an agreement. and 1 will act as arbfter.
l promise you to deal quite fmpartiaIly.
and that in any event you shall not sit
upon that uncomfortable bench again.
Tomorrow L will make inquiries into
both sides and will see what can be
done.
1t seemed an honorable proposal The
boys went back and worked soberly the
rest of the night.
And next day when they came down
a row of chairs awaited them instead OF
the detested bench. But the chairs were
firmly. nailed together. and their union
was further maintained by a heavy
board underneath The seats were very
comfortable. Every boys back was sup
ported. Every eoy's feet touched the
floor. In a way II was a triumph. and
yet Red and Rosey were little dissat-
isfed. No fun in these kind OF chairs
grunted Red. But Petey was a true
leader His end had been erected He
was not one to quarrel with details.
That, night the managing editor
stopped for a moment at the row Of
chairs, Il hope. gentlemen he said.
that the compromise effected was sat-
isfactory."
Yes. sir" said Petey. grinning IN
friendly fashion Then he cut out a
heading from the afternoon paper. IL
concerned the bricklayers' strike. but
PeJey pasted ii UP on the wall OF the
city room and signed IL. 1t read as fol-
lows:
'.Our grievances have been redressed.
The compromise effec,ed is satisfactory
and all danger OF a strike has been
averted. PETEY FLYNN"
The San Francisco call., 1906-07-15

II had been a very warm day. Bertha
had put Rose. her doll, in low neck
and short sleeves and had even taken
of her shoes and stockings. She would
have liked to take off her own and go
bsrefOoted. like the Ragged Children,
but she knew her mother would scold.
Rose kept opening and shutting her
eyes, which was a sign that she was
suffering from the heat; but she said
nothing about IL because her voice was
broken. Bertha understood very well
how she felt She twisted up Roses
beautiful yellow hair and fastened
it on top Of her head with a pin so
that il wouldn't make her neck so
