A fourth of July Story by OLIVE HARPER. $ooooooooo ON Mil particular Fourth of July a Ki'.v purty from Khu Fran cisco irutliered nt Kau llruuo HU music and ttreworks. They dined niuoiiK the trees on the nloe of the const lln of hi I In. Ou the lower and level tide of the roud with a marshy place bordering ou a small brum h of the buy and a house, IsdonKinn to the tlriu of Miller & I.ui, the euttlo ktiiir of thut dny. This lmiiho vim occupied by the herd ers. The iriviit ranch lay to the south, wunl, mid there were kept the rattle on their way to the place where all good and Home bad ntt!o jpi. ' This picnic was to be jtreat aa pic- hliK ). with music, darning on tne award lifter the dinner, and rending of I ho Declaration i.f ludeiwudence, and then fireworks. There would be full noon. Evcrylsuly was happy save Mildred Ixveloy, and she wa in a very fever of suspense. She was pretty and knew her scarli't dress and niiiasol were Is.th iM-comhig. But MaWdui Hur t-hard did not conic, uud he was to read the leciarallin, niuybo imrke one. At last there was a cloud of dust nnd he was there, but with another girl besldo him. No wouder the sun was eclipsed. Mildred went away as soon as they were Introduced, to hate this Boston slfl. Her head ached and her dinner tasted like Head sea apples. And Malcolm did not miss her! Mildred hail brought the silken flag thot was to ornament the wagon where BttLDBED HKI.I'.IJ TUB OUTSTBETCHKD be was to stand to read and forgot she haij'lt Kbo knew only that she was thuliiiost unhappy girl In the world aa ahownndered to tho gnto to the ranch which waa even with the head of the Uttle buy. Before she knew It sho bad turned the point of the small bay and waa walking along on the eastern aide of It 'Tho point of land that made this tiny harbor was some sixty feet above the. level on tho eastern aide, but on the west It sloped gently to the beach. which fared the picnic grounds. There waa an abandoned but near the water, and beyond It she noticed a line of sharply pointed, Jagged rocks at the end of the point of land. What if ahe were to throw herself Into the secth Ing water there? While she stood thus, a scarlet point against the green of the grass, kept fresh by the foes of afternoon, a trem bling shook tho verr earth, and yumi was lieu t.l iimt struck terror into her soul. Coming on toward her in a liellowing mass was the whole herd of cattle, led by n creut red ateer with branching horns. There w as n .thing to do but to run for the old house nm I hope she could rench It. and hope a-ulii that the Im pact of the onrushlnrf cattle would not dash It down. The dis.r was ou the side farthest from the cuttle, and Mil dred flew around so that the big leader missed her for a moment. This gave her time t. open tho dis.r, which hung on one hlne, nud get her back against It The halyard of the old flag pole that had lieen used once for signaling hung within her roach. Some persons grow stupid nid d.iod under danger, whllo other And their mind clear and every faculty alive. Mildred was one f he hitter kind, so she thought of the; flag and actually rctucmlicred to tie reguhir sailor Instead of a granny knot; then she raised It union down. The herd was now within ten yards of the hut. nnd shr knew It would not withstand touch battering, so she thrust her red parasol out the window and suddenly isnlug it allowed the freshening trade wind to sele It, and woe frksidly puff rolled tho scarlet sunshade nln tip the slos. The leader saw red and followed It with the whole hcnl Uilowlng after hlfh. Nb one on the other shore had noticed tne'etampede of the herd nor had even observed the ahenct of Mildred ei cl Malcolm, who was seeking her ev erywhere, lie had loved her st long, an theh was a pretty ring lo Ms pooet that he Intended to ask ber to srear, but he wislw.I first to cover him self with glory by rending tho Ivrlara tlon. Then when they were all ap plauding hi in he would slip away to Mildred and tell her. With a doable sense of defeat he mounted the flaglesa wagon. ' Miss Aklrlcb bad wandered around fathering flowers snd alowly walked 0K0 2 rO00O across the wa4." Lifting her eyes ah aw the flr as it was hoisted opposite. Boe dropped erery flower. "l"u -It U union down! Psoger, distress appeal toe aldl I must go. la thatT Cattle, thousands of Uiem. Oh, thank ProTldence, here U a "kirr. The girl, reared by old Marblehead. knew the lignaL knew how to row a boat, too, and ahe cuickly llie painter looae and tn a uioiueut w pulling with long even strokes towuM the other shore. In the reneral excitement of the mu sic, the reading and oration none m the girl In the boat aa ahe pulled brave ly for the Uttle home, but her heurt eank aa ahe aaw that the cold trad., wind waa aucklng her down between the Bills and carrying ber toward tne entrance faater than ahe could row across. She had the wind and tide against ber, as the tide ws now ebbing fair, snd the flat bottomed boat offered no reslatance. She aaw herself drift ing toward the Jagged rocks Hi spit of ber frantic efforts. Theu one of tlio thole pins broke off short. The shmk Jerked the oar from her hand, aud it went floating off. Ih-fore she could make an attempt to scull the boat with the other oar she wa ou the rocks. In the meantime; aud in a very short time altogether, MUJred had seen the young woman coming and knew that rescue waa at band. But why was It not Malcolm? She aaw the tbole pin break and oar go floating away The cattle were bumphig against the old bouse, making It tremble now. Theu she saw the frail boat beading toward the rocks helplessly. Bbe forgot the bellow In if of the cattle and squeezed through the door, which oietied facing the beach, while the hurtling mass of beef was against the side. IHiwu to the beach In three fleet steps, ana along to the end of the point of rocks, a hundred yards away, and into the foaming water up to. her shoulders, braced against the rocks behind her, went Mildred, while the helpless Iwnt came awlftiy along broadside. Mildred seized the outstretched anus of the rescuer while the empty boat went whirling away.1 The two girla atruggled up toward the aafer beach, but they dared not go completely out of the ehelter of the rocks, as the cattle were still crowning no against the House ami men, lowing, plunging on up the bill to the bluff, where they were pushed over by those behind. "How dared you try to cross In that little boatr chattered Mildred as she tried to talk. "I understand boats; but It hi differ ent where you know the shore and winds snd tides. Was It yoa who raised that flag?" "Ye;" replied Mildred. "Was there no man to take your place?" I know no one but Malcolm Bur-. chard, and be was away looking for you." I Oh," aald Mildred, and the water t grew leas chilly. The two girls held each other closely. Mabel continued: "I am a teacher, aud came out here to rest. I am going to be married In the fall to Malcolm's brother." I am so glsd," said Mildred, melt ing completely. "I am so glad for you. But what Is the matter over there r "Bomebody ta con.ll.pl to save us." ild Mildred, while Miss Aid rich re plied that there was no other Unit. "Seer cried Mildred. "That's Mal colm, and be Is going to swim!. He will be drowned !" "He la strong and swims well." . And then they held to each other and watched with strained eyes for Malcolm until he reached the shore. Just then three herders came galloping like mad, trying to save the rest of the cattle, ana in a tew minutes tney nan turned the herd. What Miller & Lux's herdsmen aald would till a vol ume, but as soon as they saw the two girls they became all gentleness and In vited them to the ranch to get some dry clothes. One of them confided to Miss Aldrlch that It waa tempting Providence to wear a red dress among Texas steers. While be waa aaylng this Malcolm, the dripping hero, whispered: "Mildred, why did you go off and get Into such danger? You need some one to take care of you, and, dear, 1 want to be that one. Bee, here la the ring which will make you my wife." "I will think It over." "You'll Bay yes right now. I've been reading the Declaration of Independ ence today and And I've a right to the pursuit of happiness, snd that Is what you mean for me." Then he took the cold band, tasting yet of salt water, and put the ring on, and Mildred did not look angry as be klased It ' The three herders after looking over the cliff held a consultation. One said that be bad always had a hankering after Australia and guessed he'd go, and the second aald be thought be would do well In the mines. The third aald: "I guess I'll stop. What the main guys will asy to us-1 don't know, but I do know they won't stop swearing from this Fourth of July till Christ mas. I can stand It If they can. Say, beef will be awful cheap for a week or two In Frisco, eh?" Our riafl.

I'mler no circumstances is the Amer ican flag to he regarded ns a toy, ac cording to the Is.ard of L'nlted States general appraisers. The board decided on Jan. 31 last that Taklto & Co. of Chicago and other Japanese Importere cannot bring In the Bturs and stripes under the toy schedule of the Dlngley tariff. The flags lu the test case were made of silk and were not over an Inch and one-halt In length. The collector of customs at Chicago exacted duty on tho flags nt the rate, of CO per cent ad valorem under the provision In the tar iff for "mnuufnetures of silk." The Importers asserted that the flags should be ndmltted nt 35 per cent aa toys. In his decision General Appraiser Shnrretts says, "We do not think that the American flag, however diminutive, is commercially, commonly or nation, ally, regarded as a plaything for chil dren, nnd we And Hint the flags In dis pute are not toys."
