started You can imagine ft. The
contents of the broken boxes began
to siZzle. Rockets exploded all
around the frantic men. Roman
candles went off over their heads,
and in the boat. Bunches of fire.
crackers popped about their bare
brown legs. Pinwheels spun around
them, covering their naked trunks
with stinging sparks of fire.
This was too much. The natives
began sliding overheard. To the
last man, they swan away, leaving
their empty proa tossing about on
the sea.
A breeze sprang up. The indie
pendence was made ready, and soon
Capt. Fortridge had sailed away. He
never knew whether the pirates
came back later and In larger num-
bers, to find the prize gone.
At any rate, he had left them to
discover, If they could, just what sort
Of fire the strange men from over
the sea had used. Fire which could
be made to pop and whirl and shoot
into the sky and fall back in stars:
fire that could break into tiny
sparks, give of color, and spit
flames, all In dozen places and at
once.

Newspaper Carrier
Helps Uncle Sam

Jerry Lexington has a newspaper
route, as do thousands of other boys
all over the country. But Jerry has
used his time and effort on that
route not only to help himself, but
Uncle Sam as well. When he calls
on his subscribers to collect for the
paper, he asks If he can bring them
War Stamps each week.
Jerry does not charge anything
for this service. and many OF his
customers are glad to have him do
this, for often they have not had
a chance to buy stamps. Thus, Jerry
is promoting the sale of stamps as
ne goes quietly about his own busi-
ness.
Besides delivering War Stamps to
his subscribers, Jerry has sold paper,
iron, and over 400 pounds of rubber.
using the money to buy War Stamps.
He lives In Pawhuska, Okla.

think geography is the most fun,
and like to study the United States
the best. though other countries are
fun, too. Some of the other things
have studied this year are history,
arithmetic, English, science, spell
ing. writing and reading. I have
ALSO been reading a number of IL
brary books which have enjoyed a
lot.
My sister, Eff1e, IL, has had about
the same subjects as I have, and
she says she likes writing the best of
all because 1t Is not so hard. She
has written a book of poems which
she thought was lot of fun.
My brother, Thomas Lee, 7, has
had reading, writing and arithmetic.
He likes reading the best and always
says the last story is the best.
We had lots of fun doing handi-
work which we sold for Christmas.
Some of the things we made were
charm strings which We got a good
price for. We made $3.50 for six
charm strings. I made IL sets of
doilies and got $24.25 for them.
At Christmastime we had a party
with Miss Ankers and a little boy
and his mother. At the party we
had a play, THE Elves and the
Shoemaker" after which we had ice
cream and cookies.
Thomas Lee made magazine rack

must wait for wind In its sails to
continue its journey.
Night had fallen over the sea. The
brig rose and fell on each swell,
pulling gently at its anchor chains.
The crew, all but the watch, went
off to their hunks for a peaceful
night Of sleep.
They were aroused about mid
night by a terrifying cry: Pirates!
Pirates!"
The alarm brought the entire crew
on the run, each man secretly
wondering what appalling expert
ences awaited him on deck.
Things were bound to be bad
enough, If pirates were, indeed
there. Every man knew what to
expect from pirates. They would
steal the cargo, capture or scuttle
the ship and enslave the crew.
The worst of it was that Forth
ridge and his men were without
ammunition. Then. too, they were
greatly outnumbered. They couldn't
even run away-not without wind
They were helpless. What could
they do to save themselves?
The men could see the pirates
plainly. There were two proas
loaded with them, and they were
quite close to the brig.
They're dark-skinned cutthroats
from the Malay Peninsula" Capt
Forthridge said.
With the aid Of his men, he began
tearing open some of the boxes Of
fireworks. He set fire to Roman
candles and skyrockets. causing them
to explode over the pirates heads.
AS the captain had guessed, the
display of fireworks awed them
Never had they seen such a sight
1t was evident that they were be-
wildered, and undecided about at.
tacking.
To add to their fright, a ball oi
purple fire, it is said. dropped
squarely upon the leader of one OF
the proas. The boat stopped, then
the natives began turning it about
and soon they were pulling away.
The captain was jubilant. But this
wasn't the end. Somebody discov-
cred a third proa directly alongside
the Independence. 1t had crept up
unobserved in the excitement. AL.
ready. there was a line of dark
skinned natives stealing up the
anchor chains.
Whei the men started for the
fireworks to give these bold fellows
the same treatment they had given
the others, they discovered that the
wrappings for some of the boxes had
become ignited.
The resourcefuI Capt. Forthridge
saw his advantage. He began
dragging the blazing boxes over to
the rail. Willing hands dumped the
sputtering boxes squarely over into
the proa below.
Then, literally, "the fireworks
