the cabin was filed with Dense sulphur.
Gus smoke, amidst which was heard q
crash like clap of thunder. The tories
sat in their chairs, paralyzed.
The smoke cleared away, but the pris-
ener was nowhere to be seen. The table
was overturned, the windows smashed to
pieces, and one chair was lying on the
ground outside the building.
The tory leader, after recovering from
his stupor, gave one glance of terror
around the room and sprang out of the
window, followed by his comrades. They
ran through the forest at the top of their
speed, in the direction of the British en-.
campment, leaving their muskets and
other arms to the mercy of the flames,
which had now begun to devour the
cabin.
The next day two young men dressed
in the continental uniform were seen
standing near the ruins of the old cabin.

Night had set in deep and dark, and in
small leg cabin situated few miles
from Trenton, n. j., were five men, four
ofwhom were seated around an oakcn ta-
be in the center Of the room, engaged in
playing cards, while they frequently mois-
tened their throats with large draushts
from an earthen jug that stood on the ta-
ble They were heavily bearded, coarse
men, and from their dress, which resem
bled the British uniform, they were evl-
IDENTIFY tories. The other was a stout
built young man, clad in the continental
uniform. lie sat in a corner of the room
with his face buried in his hands.
Tom said one Of the Tories, rising
from the table and seating himself near
the young prisoner, for such he evidently
was, Tom, you and | were school boys
together, and like you yet. Now, why
can't you give up your wild notions and
join Us? You are our prisoner, and if
YOU don't, We shall hand you over to
headquarters tomorrow but if you join
! US your fortune is made, Tor, with your
bravery and talents, you would soon dis.
tinguish yourself in the royal army, and
after this rebellion is crushed out, you
will be rewarded by knighthOod and pro-
motion in the army. Now, there are the
two alternatives. Which do you choose 2
Neither said the young man, raising
his head and looking the tory steadily in
the eye.
am now, as you say, your prisoner,
| but when the clock strikes twelve, shall
leave you-I shall disappear in cloud of
tire and smoke, and neither you nor your
comrades, not even myself, can prevent
it, You may watch me as closely as you
please. tie me hand and foot, if you will,
but higher power than yours or mine
has ordained that should leave you at
that time
Poor fellow, his mind wanders,' said
the tory, hell talk different in the morn
ing And he turned again to his scat at
the table, leaving the youth again resting
on his hands. -
When the clock struck eleven, the
young prisoner drew pipe and some to-
bacco from his pocket, and asked the tory
leader if he had any objections to his
smoking.
None in the least, he said with a
laugh-'that is, if youth promise not to
disappear in cloud of smoke.
The young man made no reply, but
Immediately filled and lighted his pipe
having done which, he arose and began
pacing the floor.
He took half-dozen turns up and
down each side of the room, approaching
the table each time, when, having ex-
hausted his pipe, he returned to his seat
and retilled it.
lie continued to smoke until the clock
struck twelve, when he arose from his
seat slowly, knocking the ashes out of his
pipe, and said
Boys, it's twelve o'clock, and / must
leave you; good bye
