You are not setting the flag of the object you created in btn_start_Click. Instead you create a new Mouse_Tracking object and set its value. Use the same instance....

For ex;

declare it as 

Mouse_Tracking mst = new Mouse_Tracking();

private void btn_start_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    mst = new Mouse_Tracking();
    .......
}

private void btn_stop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     mst.flag = 0;
}
