: fered with her plans and schemes was the sud
den discovery how very much indeed she loved
George Tucker; fact she had not left enough
! magin for in her plot
: But, as l said, she made Of good metal, and
she answered very low
; 1 do like you, George; bnt l never will
marry Brti>her and a Tory
A spasnl Of real anen 81 distorted the hand
some face bent forward to listen
I Do YOU mean that, Sally? Can't you love
me because We don't think alike p
Sally choked little her tones fell to a
whisper. George had to sit down close to her
to hear.
L didn't say didn't love you, George =
A llissful pause of a second and then in a
clear, cold voice. But my minds set I can't
marry a Britisher and Tory, il l died say
in So
George gasped.
" And | cannot turn traitor and rebel, Sal
ly. l Can not. ! love you better than any
thing in the word but | can't do wicked
thing no, not eyen for you"
lie was pale as death. Sally'S secret heart
felt proud Of him, and Ecyer had size been SO
near repenting of her work in the good cause
before but she was rc>ointc
" Very well - replied she coo'ly, if you
prefer the king to me, it's not my fault when
yonr side beats, you can take Your revenge Y
The thorough injustice of tits speech reused
the lovers generous indignation
Z" If you eau think that way Of ne, Sally, it
is better for US both to have 4nc go Good
night - And away strobe the loyal fellow,
never looking baci; to see his sweetheart have
good cry Oh the pine-lo-, and then IN equal
ly comfortable fit Of laughter for she knew
very we'll how restless Mr. George would b.,
al alone by himself, and how mich it meant
that they both loved each other, and both
knew it.
Say's heart was stout. A sort of Yankee
Evangelne, she would not have gene after Ga
brcl she would have staid at home and
waited for him to the end Of time dong
chores and mending meanwhile, but unmarried
in the fixed intention of being her lovers sixth
wife possibly, but his wife at last
SO she went home and got supper, strained
and skinned milk, set a sponge for bread, and
! slept all night Ike dormGusc. George Tuck
er never went to bed.
