ing gaily over his good fortune when the
bending of the oleander trees by the roadside
caused him to look around him.
The storm was coming. The feecy clouds
had given way to dark masses, which were
being driven by the wind from the Sea.
But the waters of the bay, protected by
the score of miles of island. were yet quiet,
and he cast off the rope holding his boat and
was starting when there came to his mind
the thought of the blue flag.
1t was but little distance to the place
where it was and he must get it.
Still nearly half an hour had passed before
he was at the wharf again.. with the flag and
its staff under his arm He placed the prize e
how hard he had worked for it and then lost,
because of his duty to his mother.
"And Pierre, who has everything, is to get
il. for his handsome boat as the master
said, while my old skift Is 8 to ! be good enough
for me- without paint or flag"

ter of mile more, when vivid flash of
lightning showed him gaping chasm at his
feet.
The force of the waves had broken the
trestle, and for twenty or thirty feet the
water surged through unrestricted. He could
not cross it, and must await the morning or
walk back to the city.
The slippery ties were SO treacherous that
himself clutching the flag all the time with
feverish grip.
'I'll be late with the flag he reflected;
"but couldn't help it,"
1t must have been an hour that he sat there
alone, amid the fury of the storm when he
was aroused by rumbling of the rails, and
looking back saw twinkling light shining in
the distance.
1t was the north bound express pulling out

was its time, for he had often watched the

had heard

them?
He hurried up the track toward the light,
meditating on what course to pursue. If he
had only something to burn! He felt in his
inside pocket.
Yes, here were matches. He had had
them to light the bonfres with the night be-
fore when his father was fishing in the bayou.

simple mind the flag bore an exaggerated i'm
portance, and he feared that if it were de-
sstroyed the master and pupils would accuse
him of envy.
Then came the realization of the wreck
that must ensue. The trembling headlight
was drawing nearer and nearer. He hesi-
tated no longer. Tearing off the damp and
heavy wrapping paper which inclosed the
flag, he felt its soft. silken folds drop over his
hands
Drawing three matches at once, he ignited
them on the driest portion of the staff and
lighted the flag, now waving in the wind.
For moment it fickered, and then blazed
up. High leaped the flames, and glorious
beacon it made in the darkness. And it was
not too soon, for the headlight of the engine
had drawn very near and the train would
even now have barely time to stop.
A shrek from the whistle told the brave
boy that the engineer understood the signal,

Pierre, both standing much above the others
in scholarship and department. We will meet
on the day after tomorrow for the award.
The simpleminded fsher-folks were salts
fed, and went home, wondering which of the
boys would get the prize.
"Pierre will get the blue flag" predicted
one, "for he's been to the school all the
time, while RUM has been helping his
mother" ~
"But the children say that RUM can get
his lesson in half the time of Pierre, and he
deserves it," was the. reply
So no one knew which would win.

'Take good care of it, RUM, because it cost
me quite sum of money, and will make a
handsome ornament for a boat. Handsome
boats should have handsome flags"
"It is to be Pierre's, then," thought Runi
And his spirits fell as he remembered the
beautiful new boat just purchased by his
rival.
The master noticed his sudden change of
feeling, and, flushing to the temples, tried to
change the current of the boys thought by
speaking of the beauty of the bay, which
was like sheet OF glass renectlng the neecy
clouds lazily drifting above it.

ed RUM.
"But you will go tomorrow
eyes. The storm may not come for days;
but it is out on the gulf just the same"
There was no sign of STERN the following
morning when RUM showed off his skiff,
loaded to the gunwales with great yellow
and white lilies gathered by his mother in
the inlets and marshes that lined the bayous
about the bay.
Down among the rushes they were found
growing, and none could so certainly find the
choicest and fairest ones as she.
The water still retained its CLASSY smooth
ness, and the feecy clouds slowly foated
-northward across the blue of the sky. Lazily
they came up as if out of the gull, and sank
into the land to the north.
Not breath of air was blowing, and the
oars left silvery circles as they flashed in the
sunlight.
1t was three miles across the bay, but RUM
made the distance in an hour, and had his
lilies in the market early.

1 YTz1HE Bay of Galveston lies between,
Galveston Island and the, mainland
of Texas. Beyond the island
INNSMIN1 stretches the rolling, shimmering
tSSssO waters of the Gulf Of Mexico.
The bay is crossed by a long

#crude though the civilization found in them
! may be, they have as interesting world as
that which is more familiar to the people in
general.
"On the last day of the term,' announced
the teacher of the school, in one of these
: little settlements II shall give beautiful
blue flag to the pupil who has the best
record"
The pupils knew what that meant. 1t
meant not only. reading and spelling, but
for all their studies, and they redoubled their
efforts, for the blue flag would be magni6

There was no disputing such forcble
argument, and so he went.
This occurred not once, but many times.
4 Still, he worked nights. and fondly hoped he
had won the prize.
Finally came the last day of the school.
The fisher-children were all there, dressed in
their gayest raiment and joyous at the ap-

The Coal That u Left.

The world still has a considerable
supply of coal. Germany is credited
with 2SO,O00,O00,O tons, sufficient to
last 1000 years at the present rate of
consumption; Great Britain and Ire
land claim ,OOO,OOO,OO0 tons, with
an annual consumption about double
that of Germany; Belgium has 2S,-
600 100000 tons, France 19,000,OOO,OOO
Australia 17,OOO,0O0,000 and Russia 49,
100000. North America is believ-
ed to have 6S1, 600, 100000 tOns-more
than the total of the other countries
named. 1t is the tremendous increase
in the use of coal that justifies alarm,
for while the supply of the United
States would last 1000 years at the
rate of consumption in 1905. 1t Will be
exhausted within century at the rate
of increase of the last ninety years
continues. No estimate of the coal or
other parts of the world can be made,
but Asia has an enormous store.
