to do it; weren't they, papa?"

"They were, indeed, and deserve to be kept in loving remembrance because
of their brave deed."

The rest of the party were standing near listening to the talk between the
captain and his little girl; also regarding the old bell with interest,
though nearly all of them had seen it before. But it was time for them to
move on, for others were coming to view the old relic of Revolutionary
days, and Mr. Dinsmore led the way into the interior of the building, the

They went all over it, finding much to admire, and Mrs. Dinsmore expressed

From there they went to the Woman's Building, hoping to find in it some,
