naming grenadier had lied and left him to
perish alone. :
As soon as Catharine saw him she felt as
Isured that it was the officer who had fallen
by Georges rifle. She fastened to him
with a prayer that he might live and not die!
She carried water in her hand and placed
it 70 his lips. He survived and family smil-
ed.
At this moment a village surgeon and
three men rode by in pursuit. Catharine
with dificulty prevailed upon him to stop
and examine an! dress the wound. He pro.
.nounced a possibility of recovery.
"But it is bad policy, Miss Catharine," he
said, "to take such care of our foes. But
| will help you with him into the house and
dress his wounds; but you must be answer
able for his appearance if he lives, as he is
a prisoner Of war"
"Iwill answerf for his appearance, sir"
replied the noble girl.
CHAPTER II
The wound of the officer did not prove to
be mortal. Owing to the kind care and
nursing of the lovely girl, aided by George,
who was quite as anxious to save his life as
she was, he recovered, and was in a few
weeks exchanged. As he took leave of her,
he placed upon her finger a costly and sin
gular-looking ring, saying
"Should you or any one dear to you get
into trouble during this war, and it is in my
powerto aid you, I will do it. Whoever
bears this ring to me shall be my friend"
Two months after his departure, George
and three other daring young men, who had
formed aplotto seize Il e person of General
Howe, by entering the town in disguise,
were discovered, imprisoned, and George,
as their leader, was sentenced to be shot as
a spy:
An hour before he was to have been led

He told him the history of his being wound
cd, and how his life was saved BY Catha-
rine Acton, and that he had promised rer
his influence and aid whenever she should
send him a ring he left with her, or ask it in
bchalfof herself or others IN person:
"Just now" continued the Colonel, 81

The same evening, George Munroe, with

I'd Catharine Acton for his life.
