"'Where are the tallOw cans we

"Bravo. John, just the thing?' ex-

a meaning in the others words which
escaped me utterly. Captain those
dispatches are safe. and you owe it
to John; for l should never haye
thought OF 1t In llfetme.'
"By this time the fireman was
standing at the valves, and the en-.
gineer had found the talow cans, two
brass vessels, each holding gallon or
more, with long curved spOuts. One
of these he gave me, while he kept
the other himself, and we scrambled
over the coal to the rear OF the tender.

in the road before US, and hOarSe
voice commanded US to halt. Well
aware that we were now among
friends, our engine was stopped, and
the facts explained to the officer in
command of the detachment.
"There is little more to relate. Our
purSuers and their engine were neatly
captured. Stockton's division made

Thomas and his army from their

move on, my interesting companion
wrapped himself up in his cloak and
was soon asleep.
