garb of a serving-man loitered in and
made his way unobserved to the great
fireplace, where he uncovered the skill
lets in which the vegetables were sim
mering on the hearth. When he came
to that one containing the peas he
dropped in a handful of some condl-
ment and instantly took his departure
His next appearance was under the
window of that room in which Mistress
Blessing was incarcerated.
Hist! Sweetheart! The dose is
ready. Keep heart until the morrow,
when I will myself release thee to ride
pick-a-back on my roam horse. 1t is
told in the town that Betsey Ann
Blessing is arrested for spy. Keep
up your courage, sweetheart"
IF you would befriend me, betake
yourself to some safer place." whis-
pered Betsey's voice through the
barred window far above him. "A
halter will be ready for your neck If
you are seen or suspected, and, listen,
| If your dose takes effect, you are no
| longer lover of mine!"
The youth went away, grumbling
about all being fair in love and war.
II Washington was different from
his usual self at that historic dinner,
the fact was not even recorded. There
was much secret discussion of weighty
affairs with his guests. and he gave
close attention to the viands set be-
fore him. 1t was not. however, until
the vegetables were served that he
made any illusions to the food. When
his favorite vegetable, a dish of green
peas, was uncovered. he demanded at
tention. and when all was silent, re-
marked in loud voice;
There is death in the pot"
A grea: excitement ensued: the
guests, wao were in full uniform, drew
their swords. and murmurs of Death
to the traitor," were heard on every
side.
Then Washington sent for Mistress
Blessing, who came with a defiant light
in her eye. and was given the seat of
honor at her hosts right hand. She
took 1t with a dignity that called forth
approving and admiring comments.
Soldiers are proverbially gallant. and
those of &c" were no exception to the
| rule.
A servant was next sent out by the
commander-in-chief on peculiar err
rand. He returned. bringing with him
live and particularly active chicken.

Instantly an armed guard of soldiers
responded.
Arrest this girl" he said. sternly,
and keep her under guard until such
time as she sends for me to confess her
fault"
THAT will I never. though die in
prlson!" was the defiant reply, as the
girl, who had entered bowed and weep
ing, raised her head proudly and
walked out with the soldiers like
young queen.
All was tumult in the kitchens at
Richmond Hill, and cooks were run

BETSEY BLESSING.

The summer OF the year 1776, when
the American army was stationed in
New York, the commander-in-chief,
brief resting spell after dinner when
he was oproached by an orderly, who
saluted and said:
"A young woman who calls herself
Betsey Ann Blessing would have speech
with your eXcellency."
''Betsey Ann Blessing?" repeated
Washington, with momentary show
OF irritation; who is she, and why
may she not defer her business till 'he
morrow? l warrant me that her lorer
is prisoner of war. and she is ready
to swear that he is a loyal whig! What
think you, Holdfast?"
IF it please your eXcellency, she is
well favored, as far as 1 could know
from her crying, for she is in sore
trouble
Aye! am a true soothsayer! Cry
ing, is she? Show her in, Holdfast,
and see that the guard trouble her not.
1 misdoubt my own judgment in CIV
ing audience to strangers in these
troublous times. 1t mayhap that Miss
tress Blessing prove a traitor in dis
guise."
The orderley soon returned, usher
ing in a girl so young she appeared
like, child. and indeed acted like one,
for no :ooner did she stand in the
presence of the great man than she
seized his hand-that hand of stalwart
proportions - and dropping on her
knees kissed it with the ardor OF
devotee. Meanwhile the tears streamed
down her face in piteous torrents, and
her form shook with suppressed emo
tions.
Washington had a tender heart, and
he was greatly distressed by this un-
usual scene.
Now, Mistress Blessing" said Wash
ington. in his kindest manner, tell me
what brings you hither, and what your
'errand may be-"
Il came hither to save your excel
lency's life!" was the startling re-
sponse.
1t is a matter of history that Gen.
Washington never disdained the sim
plest detail of army news, also that
dispatches of the greatest Importance
were Brought to him in the most tri-
vial way. Instead, then. of laughing
at the apparent presumption of this
weeping girl, he bade her tell him
everything, promising her immunity
from punishment in case her news was
not as weighty as she anticipated.
Thus encouraged. she began her
story.
"On the morrow your excellency is to
dine with several officers of your COM
mand. under guard?"
How do you know that, girl?"
asked Washington, much surprised.
Your excellency will lay certain
plans against the enemy before the
company"
Proceed" commanded Washington,
sternly.
