Ralph pressed forward, and peered
through the bushes, but it was SO dark
he could discern nothing beyond the
outlines of tall, dark figure, heavily
bearded and wrapped in an immense
shawl. For a moment he was tempted
TO rush forth and annihilate them both
on the spot, but prudence held him
back. He would wait and watch. So he
stood quietly in the shadow, while Imo-
gene returned to the house, and her
companion went down the path lead
Ing to the shore. Ralph Trenholme
ground his teeth in rage. He was
proud man, and he did not love this
woman who was his wife. He had no
love to wound, but she hurt his pride,
He could not bear dishonored name.

The officers were conversing in a
group. No one had as yet spoken the
decisive word. Colonel Knowlton ap-
pealed to French sergeant, an old
soldier Of former wars, and asked him
to volunteer.
"No, no." said he. 81 am ready to
fight the British at any place and
time, but I do not feel willing to go
among them to be hung up like a
dog"
Captain Hale Joined the group of
officers. He said to Colonel Knowl-
ton:

Some Of his best friends remonstrat-
ed. One of them, afterwards the fam
GUS Gen. William Hull. then captain
in Washington's army, has recorded
Hale's reply to his own attempt to dis
suade him:
81 think" said Hale, IT owe to my
country the accomplishment of an OBJ
ject so important. am fully sensible
Of the consequences of discovery and
capture in such situation. But for a
year I have been attached to the army,
and have not rendered any material
service, while receiving compensation
for which I make no return. wish
to be useful, and every kind Of service
necessary for the public good becomes
honorable by being necessary"
He spoke, as General Hull remem-
bered with earnestness and decision,
as one who had considered the matter
we'll, and had made up his mind.
Having received his instructions, he
travelled fifty miles along the Sound
as far as Norwalk, in Connecticut. One
who saw him there made a very wise
remark upon him, to the effect that he
was ''too good looking" to go as spy.
He could not deceive. Some scrub
by fellow ought to have gone" At
Norwalk he assumed the disguise Of

THE WAIF.

Teddy was hurrying across the
snowy field to get the milk ON WASH
ington's birthday morning. He hit the
bright tin cans together as he skipped
along, but stopped the chnk, clink,
clink when he came to great high
drift which stood beside the long stone
wall.
This great high drift was very fun
ny drift indeed, for 1t had large, deep
hole in one side of it: the side that
was sheltered by the stone wall. Ted
dy stopped to have a peep into this hole
and then he said "Oh!" very. loud, for
what do you guess he spied curled up
in the corner? A bear? oh, no, in
deed. Teddy lived in the country, to
be sure, but it wasn't bear for all Of
that! 1t was only very thin, little,
shaggy brown dog, who opened his
eyes and stretched his cold paws and
jumped up and ran to say, How do you
do?" to the astonished little boy.
Teddy patted him and doggie wagged
his tail and Tapped Teddy's bright red
mittens over and over again, he was
SO glad to see him. And then over the
wall and into the barn hurried Teddy
with the little brown dog close at his
heels.
THAT dogs been around the village

he poured the milk into Teddy's cans.
"He's stray one, reckon. Must
have gone into that hole to get out of
the wind. Why don't you keep him.
Teddy?"
And that's just exactly what Teddy
did do. He kept him for his very own;
for nobody claimed him when Teddy's
papa advertised, "A dog found" in the
village newspaper.
Teddy named his pet Washington
because he found him on George Wash
ington's birthday. A very long name
for such a little dog, isn't it? But
doggie seems to like it, and he is as
happy as he can be in his new home.
You must be very, very good dog,
always!" declared Teddy the next
morning, when he gave him his break

bore an order from General Washing

the vessels belonging to congress. For
several days everything appears to
have gone well with him, and there
is reason to believe that he passed
through the entire British army with
out detection or even exciting suspl-
cion.
Finding the British had crossed to
New York, he followed them. He made
his way back to Long Island, and
nearly reached the point opposite Nor
walk, where he had originally landed.
Rendered, perhaps, too bold by sue
cess. he went into a we'll known and
popular tavern, entered into converse
ton with the guests, and made him
self very agreeable. The tradition is
that he made himself too agreeable.

between the two hostile armies, and
General Washington had as yet no sys-
tenn established for getting informa-
ton Of the enemy's movements and
intentions. He never needed such in
formation so much as at that crisis.
What would General Howe do next?
II he crossed at He'll Gate. the Ameri-
can army, too small in numbers, and
defeated the week before, might be
caught on Manhattan Island as in a
trap, and the issue of the contest
might be made to depend upon a sim
gle battle: for in such circumstances
defeat would involve the capture of the
whole army. And yet General Wash
ington was compelled to confess:
I'VE can not learn, nor have we been
able to procure the least information
Of late"
Therefore he wanted a man. He
wanted an intelligent man, cool-head-
ed, skillful. brave, to cross the East
River to Long Island, enter the enc
my's camp, and get information as to
his strength and intentions. He went
to Colonel Knowlton. commanding a
remarkably efficient regiment from
CONNECTICUT, and requested him to as
certain If this man so sore needed
could be found in his command. Col
onel Knowlton called his officers to-
gether. stated the wishes of General
Washington, and, without urging the
enterprise upon any individual. left the
matter to their reflections.
Captain Nathan Hale, brilliant
youth of 81, recently graduated from
Yale college, was one of those who re-
flected upon the subject. He soon
reached conclusion. He was of the
very flower of the young men of New
England, and one of the best of the
younger soldiers of the patriot army.
