"Ay dear sir, exclaimed the repor-
ter, you charm me.

ooh, no; not at all. Here is another
excellent point, said the editor, turn

say that Walraven went to a hardware
establishment and procured a rife"
Chats good, isn't it ?"
"First-c1ass. Old Pinkney would
have said that he went to a hardware
store and bought a rife"
That's because he is crude in his
manner of expression, isn't it,"
"AssuredIy. And again you say that

How does it strike you ?"

What would Pinkney have said ?"
ooh, in his vulgar way he would

the Americans were steadily nearing the
tobacco barn.
STEADY, steady" cautioned the young
Captain. Be careful how you fire; re-

A fusillade was going on by this time,

Though the young officer discovered
that his men were determined to charge
the tobacco barn, he thought it best to de-
lay until they could flank each side of it
ard prevent the English soldiers escaping.
But commands and reason were useless.
Their American blood was up. They had
Emelled powder and heard the cries OF their
wounded companions, and as one man,
with tremendous yells, charged the barn.
The British poured in a vOlley as they
came up, and a man named Hill fell with
bullet in his heart. This only more en-

soldiers wisely beat a retreat. They

the released prisoners, coming to our
hero and shaking his hand. Griffith
recognized the man as being the farmer
with whom he had taken dinner. Il told
ye the Britishers would never stop till
they'd got the yoke on US n they're ROin'
to grind US down now to a certainty"
How did you come here?" Griffith
asked,
why, you see them Britishers that
tried to mob you fellers were so mad be-
cause they couldn't that they took me,
and have almost scared my hair white by
threatenin' to hang me.
But you are free nOw?"
Yes, you heV set me free, but they'll
never stop till they git the yoke on our
necks."
The farmers name was Ezekiel Gross,
and he was a confirmed pessimist as fan
as the wax with England was concerned.
Captain Alton had all the Americans
get ready at once to march back to
Manoa. Their wounded man was car
ried on a stretcher, and the man who had
been killed was buried In the church
yard.
The dead Englishman and the two that
had been wounded were left in charge OF
the old men and boys of the place. As
soon as all could be got ready, the new
commander with all the arms and pro-
visions he could get at Belfast, started
on his return to ManOa.

himself beside her.

But, Griffith, live in such dread.
%Of course, it is natural that one should

used to it.
But we have no common enemy. If
it was not for Major Bridges, I would

He can do no more than any other.

Griffith had already thought of this.
His mind reverted to what the deserter
had said, and to change her thoughts from
the coming attack he mentioned him.
What kind of a man is hep" she asked.
He is almost if not quite fifty years of
age. He is tall, finely formed, and looks
like he might be a noble man. There is
something in that mans face and mild

Did he say he deserted the enemy?"
He did, and he claims to be an Ameri-

Then why do you keep him pris-

Because We do not know but that he

She sat for several moments, her mind
busy with the deserter of the Xenophon;
| then she turned to her lover and said:
Griffith, would like to see that man.
''YOU shall, tomorrow he answered.
