The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1892-02-18

Only too glad to leave the hateful
presence of their visitors, Mrs. Ewing
and Rachel mounted n little ladder to
a small room over the kitchen.
Scarcely had they gained this retreat
when the sound of a horseman coming
up the rocky road of the bluff tell on
their ears.
Looking from small window,
Rachel watched the newcomer dis
mount and walk toward the cabin.
There was something very familiar
in the mans gait, and, much disguised
as he was, she was not slow in detect
ing his real identity.
''It is Charles Rigney, mother" the
girl whispered, land some vile plot is
brewing"
81 fear so, my child"
II must go down that ladder and
play spy, mother"
SO saying, she descended to the little
hallway below, and entered a small
closet adjoining the kitchen.
The table where the troopers sat was
only few feet from where the girl
crouched, and inclining her ear che
could distinctly hear all their conver-
sation.
Rigncy had made himself comfort
able before the fireplace, when the
leader asked him:
swell, what news?"
"Good!" returned Rigney, a triumph
ant ring in his voice.
$50 we bag the young fox tonight"
"Yes, tonight. You will then re-
move an enemy from my path, and ut
the same time capture on, who can
tell you all Washington's plans which
he is no doubt Matching up over at
Morristown."
"Good! Goodr' cried the leader.

had made Themselves safe in the erugged
hills of New Jersey.
Several miles from where the Ameri-
can army lay, secure aud iubilnnt over
its recent brilliant victories, on the
slope of wooded bluff overlooking q
pleasant stream, stood the unprcten-
tious cabin of Mrs. Ewing
She was the widow of Jasper Ewing,
a valiant patriot killed in the early part
of the revolutionary struggles. Here
she and her daughter, Rachel, lovely
girl of eighteen, with rosy checks and
dark eyes, lived alone, deriving mca"
ger livelihood from their few acres of
tillable land below the bluff.
Mrs. Ewing and Rachel were firm
patriots, and, though they mourned
age was of too high nature to yield to
despair and condemn the cause which
had deprived them of protector.
There was one in the neighborhood
who would gladly have done all in his
power to lessen the trials of the widow
and daughter. That was Charles Rig
ney, whose fathers well-cultivated
fields lay just across the stream from
the Ewing place.
Young Rigney and Rachel had grown
up together from childhood, and had
gone to the Sane school. Later, this
early friendship had ripcncd into love
on Rigncys side, but Rachel did not
reciprocate his feeling. Indeed his
passion and attention had begun to
annoy her considerably, and several
times she was on the point of dismiss
ing him in such way that there
would he no MISLEADING her real feel
ings toward him.
But they had been friends so long.
and friends in those times meant a
great deal to two lonely women. She
could not bear the thought of hurting
Rigncy's feelings. There came time,
however, when she was forced to speak
very plainly.

WasAington's steward was a man
named Fraunces, who liked good living
and with whom Washington contin-

"a very fine shad. 1t was the only
one in the market and l bought 1t for

"But what did you pay for it?" said
Washington, stcrnly.
"It is very fine shad," continued
the steward, ''and it is cooked to a

"But want to know the price-the

out Fraunces.

he raised his hand; stake it away. II

snug for the night, when Charles Rig
ney rode up and refined in before the
little rock poultry shed.
Springing to the ground he ap-
preached the girl, and would have en-
braced her had she not drawn back,
and, with flashing eyes, cried:
How dare you take such liberty
with me, Charles Ri gney?"
The young mans face flushed deep
ly, and his voice shook with passion as
he said:
rs it possible I have made mis-
take in the regard with which was
pleased to think you favored me?"
''If you believed my feelings for you
were other than merely friendly, then
you have indeed made mistake" she
answered
"There is some one else whom you
care for?"
The girl was silent, but the rich
crimson which suffused her cheeks told
Rigpey he had hit the truth. He had
suspected 1t before, but hoped to get
ahead of his patriotic rival
"It's that skulking Maj Wayland,
trailing about after that fanatical
leader, Washington, who has captured
your heartl" he remarked, hotly.
"Washington and Maj. Wayland are
brave, noble mep, far too good to have
even their names uttered by tory sym
pathizer," rctorted Rachel Ewing.
1t was had blow in the face and
Rlgney WINGED visibly under it. He
changed his tone, however, and asked,
half entreatingly:
"Will you not marry me, Rachel?"
