6 THE RALEIGH ENTERPRISE. Thursday, May 25, 1905. Plucky Polly. They were a happy party of chil dren Kenneth, Arthur, Alice, and Polly as, one bright, cool, summer afternoon, they drove along a coun try road in a capacious pony cart. The road which they followed, al though near the sea, ran partly through pine woods and thickets, and was bordered here and there with a tangle of wild rose and bay bushes, with no houses in sight. Suddenly the cart rolled into a clearing and approached a railroad track. Ken neth, who was driving, and had been cautioned about the danger near rail roads, listened for train. Every thing was silent, so he chirruped to Rob Roy, the sturdy pony, encour aging him to cross the rails. Just in the middle of the track the pony stopped stock-sill and refused to budge. : "He is balky," said Arthur. "Let's go out and see," cried Alice. They tumbled hastily out; and found, to their dismay, that one of Rob Roy's hoofs was firmly fastened in a "frog" in the track, holding him so that he could not move from the spot. The children tried with all their might to release him, but in vain did they tug and lift. Then the awful thought struck Polly thai it was almost time for the afternoon train, and what would become of Rob Roy and the cart '( She exclaimed : "We must flag the train!" v The others screamed in scorn: "Flag the train? With what? A pocket handkerchief ?" "No" said Polly stoutly and she was only seven "I'll flag the train with my red flannel petticoat ; red is the danger signal, you know." And she whipped olf the petticoat and ran down the track, followed by a string of loyal supporters, Kenneth being left to guard the pony. Truly, there was a train, puffing along at its usual speed. The engi neer leaned from his cab window, gazing with surprise at this group of hurrying children waving a red flag. Of course he stopped the train, while the children were quickly surrounded by questioning passen gers who raised a hearty cheer for Polly when she breathlessly told of the pony's perilous position and of her desire to save him. Strong hands released Rob Roy from his iron fet ter, and the grateful children climbed into the cart, the passengers went aboard the cars, and the train steamed away, passengers and brake men waving a parting salute to the intrepid four. That evening at a dinner party one gentleman remarked to the fath er of the heroine : "That was a clever thing which your Polly did this af ternoon." "What do you mean ?" her father said. "Why, didn't you know that she flagged the down train to save the pony?" Then the whole story came out. They had been, each and all, afraid to mention the incident that after noon, fearing they might be forbid den to drive Rob Roy any more, and not dreaming that any one on the train would think that what they did was worth mentioning. As the pony's accident was not due to any fault of the children, their father allowed them to continue their drives, but thev were urgently warned to avoid railroad crossings in the future. Annabelle Lee, in St. Nicholas. The Orchard Oreole. A very pretty little story com r? from Hartford, and it is true. A nest of the orchard oriole (improp erly called the "English robin") wu discovered by the owner of the lot whose child wanted the young birds and the child was duly gratified The nest was taken home, to th delight of the child and the grieJ of the parent birds, and the fledg lings were placed in a cage ontsi K the house. To the surprise of the person who had put them there, he found one day, that the mother-bird had discovered her lost children, and was feeding them through the wires of the cage. This proof of paren tal affection in a bird was continued, till at length the person who had re moved the nest from its place and put it in the cage was moved -to re store it to its place on the tree, with the young birds in it. The unbound ed delight of the old birds proved a full compensation for the sense of his or, rather his child's loss, by the restoration of the young birds to their mother. The Iowa Democracy is to be re constructed on the Bryan plan, if anybody cares to know. It is only fair to say, though, that Bryan re ceived a larger percentage of the vote of that State in 1900 than it gave Parker in 1904. Duluth News-Tribune.
