who had come to meet him. He was
not much more than boy-a boy
who had been brought up as n gentle
man-and he might have been self

uniform he WAS very uncomfortable.
That was evidently the reason he had

for he called for nm extra plate for the
lady with him and ordered chicken

poets nm extra plate ut a dairy res

to eat orders eroquottcs. Plain baked
beans are more apt to be satisfactory.
Still tho soldier boy forgot to tin tho

There has been discovered in old
archives in Boston musty letter writ
ten by Paul Revere himself. in
which he tells the story of his IA
nous exploit. This letter never has
been published before. Indeed. its ex-
istence was unknown until 1t was
found by the Investigator.
Many interesting things are shown
by this letter. and some cherished pic
lures destroyed. Longfellow has given
US In undying verse the picture of Paul
Revere waiting impatiently on the
Charlestown shore for the signal Ian
terms to show in the old North Church
steeple. telling him of the movements
OF the British. But 1t seems from this
letter that Revere knew before he left
Boston the intentions OF the royal
troops. and himself ordered the
signals to be shown. SO as to inform.
as by previous agreement. Colonel Co.
nant and other patriots on the Charles
town shore. As soon as Revere got
across the river Colonel Conant in
formed him that his signals had been
seen. and then Revere told them what
was acting" and went to borrow Dea-
con Larkin's horse.
1t seems. too. that u Warren Dawes
bad been dispatched by DR.. Warren to
Lexington before Revere was sent out.
Revere got to Lexington half an hour
ahead Of Dawes. thanks to the good
judgment OF Deacon Larkin In the mat
ter OF horse flesh: but suppose Dawes
had been frst-then 1t would have been
Dawes ride" 1t is a matter of con-
graduation that Revere arrived before
his fellow courier. for Warren Dawes Is
not half as suphonious a name ito MI
the speaking trump OF future fame" as
Paul Revere. Another thing which
strikes one Is the number Of patrols
and scouting parties which the Brit
ish had out over Middlesex. We ZEN
orally picture Paul Revere as dashinx
through the night along the roads of a
peaceful farming country. But In re-
ality he rode through q country
swarmins with British scouting par
ties.
1t appears from the letter also that
DR.. Warren did not think that the OBJ
ject Of the British was to destroy the
stores at Concord. but to capture John
Hancock and John Adams. who were
at Lexington: and the last picture
glimpse We get Of Paul Revere he Is
lursing a trunk filled with Hancock's
Papers across the fields. while behind
him the minutemen and the British
are fighting on Lexington common.
This is Paul Revere's story Of his
ride:
In the fall OF 1774 and the winter OF
1775 l was one Of upward Of thirty.
chiefly mechanics. who formed them
selves into a committee for the pur-
pose OF watching the movements Of the
British soldiers. and gaining every In
telligence Of the movements Of the to-
riss. We held our meetings At the
Green Dragon tavern. We were 30
careful our meetings should be kept se-
eret that every time We met every per-
son swore upon the Bible that they
would not discover any OF our trans
actions but to Messrs. Hancock. Adams.
