puff of wind coming over the water made
Charity look up suddenly at the sun.
"'T is past MONDAY SIS" she said. "and we
a long way from home. We must start at once or
mother will worry"
Hastily picking up her oars she turned the boat
away from the nearby Portsmouth shore, and
headed for Prudence Island. As she settled her
self for the long pull homeward, something on
point of land directly in front of her caught her
eye. She held her suspended and looked again.
"That must be signal OF distress yonder," she
finally said to her sister. Turn about, Poll, and
see what thee can make of it."
Polly screwed her body around, and gazed with
wide, blue eyes.

"How thee affrighted me, CharityW
"Yes, but why should rag be tied to stick

"But Charity" objected the little girl "'Tis
lonely there, as thee says. Some one may hurt US.

Charity's cap blew off, and her dark hair waved
wildly about her face, but she flung the whole weight
OF her slender body upon the pulling vaiantly

caps and kerchiefs, were sitting the old door

I'm glad we saved the young man." Polly re-
marked happily, "and I think his red coat is very
pretty, even though 'tis wicked"
Dear little Poll" Charity answered with half

"There must have been skirmish here yester-
day. Charity said
Suddenly she stumbled and almost fell over
something, and stopped with an exclamation. There,
in the shelter of thicket of bayberry, lay man in
the uniform of a British officer.
Polly clung to her sister and began to cry loudly.
At the sound of her weeping the moved

At her sisters assurance, Polly took courage
and stopped crying. Coming closer, she examined
admiringly the scarlet coat with its trappings of
gold. To the little Quaker lass, who had never be-
fore anything but sober garments, it seemed
wonderful indeed
But it was Charty's turn to look distressed.

For shame Polly" her sister admonished. "If
Elder White should ear thee, he would say again
that mother is not strict enough with u.s."
upstairs the British officer, his injury having
been found to be only bad strain, lay in Mother
Mays lavender-scented restroom bed. He was
now fairly comfortable and had told his story.
When the French ships had been ured from
Newport harbor by the appearance of Admiral
Howes fleet, the British troops had marched out of
the city, and succeeded in driving the Americans
from the island though not without severe loss.

And then. too. It's growing late. and the wind is
rising. The bay is all white rufies now. If don't

"No, no." and Polly scrambled hastily out and
caught her hand. I'll not be left will go with

The two girls climbed the slope to the summit
OF knoll and there, few feet away was the little
staff with its pitiful banner. They threaded their
way through the tangle of bushes stopping now and
then to look and listen All about the bayberry and
sweet-fern had been crushed and trampied as by
heavy feet, but nothing broke the stiffness of the
summer noontide the bees buzzing over the
flowers and the crickets chipping in the grass.
