that's ALL" and she went to her hon.
doir to dress for the officers reception
The old-fashioned clock in the wide
hallway was striking IL when a hand
some young officer i'm the somewhat
flashy uniform of the Royal Dragons
one of the crack regiments in the kings
service, drew rein in front Of the house
and dismounted.
His riding boots were polished to per
lection and he had brushed from them
the few fiecks of mud they had encouu-
tered ON the way up. lie looked as
suringly at the house, with its pretty
flower beds on the lawn and the trel-
Used porch, upon which stood rock
ing-chair, Miss Betty's favorite seat.
Throwing the lines over post, to await
Peters attention, the young captain
sauntered towards the house, and lust
as he mounted the steps vision of love-
illness appeared.
Miss Betty was simply but tastefully
dressed and looked very pretty thus ar
rayed.
She smiled a cordial welcome TO the
officer as he came on and took his ont
stretched hand without a show of
treachery.
Though we differ about the war.
Capt Lee" said she, in her sprightly
manner. Il cannot help asking you for
the latest news from the front"
There is but little to communicate.
There has been no set engagement of
late; the two armies seem to be plan
ming for position, and it is doubtful if
battle will come off for some time"
THAT is good. l do not like to hear
of bloodshed. 1t is bad enough in this
part of the country between the for
ayers, but when large armies meet in
deadly conflict it is much worse. Still"
and her eyes seemed to sparkle, I'VE
cannot gain our independence without
some bloodshed."
Capt. Lee smiled.
II will never be able to convince Won.
l See" he said. Like Ephraim, Miss
Betty, you are joined TO your IDOLS"
Yes, captain, to the idols of liberty
and prosperity for America. You must
admit that you find our soldiers men
difficult to conquer. When people fight
for their homes and native land they do
not give up the struggle without terri
bic contest"
but in this case they are rebellious
and the king will not stop short of their
entire subsection"
The young girls gaze wandered from
the room, and for a little while seemed
to rest on the bushes on the lawn.
Suddenly, however, she turned again
to the officer and said:
zone of my friends has had the mis-
fortune to become a prisoner of war"
Indeed, Miss Betty" exclaimed
Capt. Lee, in the most innocent manner
possible. But that is one of the vicis-
STUDIES of war. Your friend must put
up with it and consider that imprison-
ment is far better than being left on the
battlefield"
Il do not doubt that, but confine-
ment to Capt. James is irksome, to say
the least"
The British oTficer seemed to start
little at mention of his rivals name.
Capt. James is confined in New
York" continued Betty. HE was cap
