Historian Lo.s,ns,o Happy fhousn..

the historic ground where Putnam made
his famous ride down the stone steps, he
encountered an old nsn, who so graphic

to know SC well ell about it. 81 stood
right there" said the old man, when
Putnam came tearing down on his horse,
and as he swept by me heard him swear,
between his teeth, 'D-n the British"
1t was this recital that suggested to Mr.

locales of important or striking revolu-

pen and pencil and collecting whatever

And the curtains, coy and warm,
Glowed red in the twilight, shutting out
The sight of the thick snow storm.
Two little boys with my second played,
With the help of my lady Jane
And en- ivory ball; and they missed and laughed
Then tried the trick over again.
But my first is ready, my second waits.
On the ground all the playthings roll,
And the children, tired out with their game,
Are taking my first from my whole.
