Princeton, in the year 17T7, and Wash
ington and his little band of patriots
had made themselves safe in the rugged
hills of New Jersey.
Several miles from where the Ameri-
can army lay, secure and jubilant over
it's recent brilliant victories, on the
slope of wooded bluff overlooking n
pleasant stream, stood the unpreten-
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 cheeks and
dark eyes, lived alone, deriving mea-
ger livelihood from their few acres of
tillable land below the bluff.
Mrs. Ewing and Rachel were firm
patriots, and, though they mourned
deeply over their great loss, their cour-
age was of too high a 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 same school, Later, this
early friendship had ripened into love
on Rigney's 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 a way that there
would be no mistalSing 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 r the thought of hurting
Rigney's feelings. There came time,
however, when she was forced to speak
very plainly.
