his. father.
He tied the boat to the stern Of the
sloop and then nimbly climbed
aboard. He was gone a long time, SO
long that Freddy got worried. What
would he do if anything happened to
his father? Could he row back to
the lighthouse? What if another
storm should come up and make the
ocean very rough?
He was thinking of such dreadful
things when Mr.. May appeared above
and shouted:
Nobody aboard, Freddy. She's
been deserted for long time. Well
go back home now"
This announcement was not pleas

disappointment to go to shipwreck
and then find nobody, and not even
go aboard the wreck!
But, papa, there might be some

His father shook his head.

Then, noticing the disappointment
on the little face, he added But if
you want to come aboard and look
I'll let you. I forgot this was your
first shipwreck. Here, now, hold fast
to my hand and I'll pull you up"
Freddy climbed up, with his faith
er's assistance, almost as easily as a
veteran sailor He stood on the deck
of the old abandoned sloop in mo-
ment. One glance showed him the
awful desolation of the wave-swept
craft. Mast. spars, sail and rigging
were tumbled about in confused
mass, and part of the cargo of lum-
Der was shifted over to one side.
BE careful, little man, and hold
tight to my hand" his father can

Freddy seemed to come naturally
into the use of his little sea legs. He
did not lurch and roll with each toss
of the boat, but walked steadily for
ward. When they came to the cabin
Mr.. May threw open the door and

! All the way back to the lighthouse
home Freddy held the kitten in his
arms, and stroked and patted its
head. In his affection for the ship
wrecked cat he even forgot to notice
the waves or the condition of the
weather. The one fact to impress his
mind was that he had made his first
rescue from a shipwreck, and he
would always keep the kitten for his

As the application for a new trial of
X b. Shepard. the State street book
dealer, who was convicted in the federal

made every effort to save him from pris-
on, even taking the matter to President
Roosevelt, who refused to interfere with
the carrying out of the sentence of the
court.
II. o. Shepard stated last night that one
of the grounds upon which the conviction
of R. B. Shepard will be fought in the
supreme court will be that decOy letters
were used by the government agent to
trap him. This il will be claimed. made
the government agent a party to the al

as no evidence was produced against Mr.
Shepard other than that obtained by the
