We needn't lose that

Wilson; it is possible they may get a
glance of the rebel we are after. You

While Wilson was delivering the cap
tain's orders to the Dragons Mrs.
Crawford opened the sideboard. and
set out decanters and dishes, and the
negress brought some fresh wine from
the cellar The Englishman smacked
his lips as he emptied a goblet

Very we'll; and now We'll toss off a

said Polly, who at this moment en-
tered the room, after a short absence.
However, he is here to speak for him
self"
''Yes, am here; and l have decided
objections to such sentiments being
drunk in my house"
The Briton and the tory looked up
and saw, framed in the doorway. the
very man for whom they had been
searching so vainly He held in each
hand loaded pistol. and their muzzles
were pointed at the hearts of the ban
queters.
Don't stir. or you are dead meni"
he cried, as the British officer attempt
ed to place his hand upon his sword
what do you intend to do?" asked
the embarrassed captain.

Polly, you may fasten his arms. so that
he will not be able to harm us. There is

The Briton glanced ferociously at his
enemy. Put your hands close behind
you, or l shall be obliged to MAIN you"
said the major, calmly.
Capt. Dacy obeyed, though with
bad grace; and the young girl fast
ened his wrists together with a stout
rope.
Now, it's your turn. Wilson" said
the major, addressing the tory. "You
thought to take me, but the tables are
reversed"
After Polly had performed the same
operation dpon the tory. and the two
men stood securely bound. the major
very coolly sat Gown and finished his
interrupted repast He was just done
when woody head thrust itself into

when he was told of he near approach
of his foes, but he was a man of daunt-
less energy and accustomed to danger.
His first act was to run TO the window
and look out. \ single glance told him
it was too late for fight. The Dragons
were already at the white gates, and
the foremost were dismounting.
what shall we do?" What shall we
do?" moaned Mrs. Crawford, wringing
her hands.
BE calm, mother" said the officer.
IF the worst happens, l can defend
myself with my sword. which did such
good work at the Cowpens."
The patriot looked as if he was about
to resort to that rash alternative, but
Polly seized him by the arm.
Quick! l can save you!" she said.
And she pulled him by main force from
the kitchen to the outer shed. She was
in an agony of terror lest her father
should be seen before he was hidden
away at all, but outwardly she was very
calm.
In the shed stood large meat barrel,
or tierce, which Cato had brought out
of the cellar a few days before, and was
now standing empty beside pile of
wood. In her desperation the girls
quick eye espied it, and she drew the
hunted officer toward it.
Its a capital hiding place" said the
major, grasping her intention. Pack
me in as hastily as you can; and, moth
er, you go and entertain our visitors
Maj. Crawford's bulky form was pres
emily compressed within the interior
of the cask, which was really the most
available hiding place he could have
sought. Polly threw in an old garment
about him, and laid few sticks of wood
carelessly upon that, leaving the top of
the barrel uncovered. Then she re-
turned to the sitting-room, where she
found her mother engaged in an excit
ing dialogue with the leader of the Brit
ish party.
where have you hidden that rebel
hound, your husband?" asked the Off
Ger.
Maj. Crawford is capable of taking
care of himself without any of my
help" answered the patriotic woman,
who had recovered her courage wonder
fully.
You do not deny, then, that the
traitor is within?"
Search for yourself, If my husband
is here, you can find him" And Mrs.
Crawford sat quietly down.
"Show me the way TO your cellar,
girl" said the Englishman to Polly.
would it not be best to begin with
the garrets, and go DOWN." asked the
young girl, her black eyes dancing
saucily. Because" she continued, I'VE
have wine in the cellars, and your men
might not be able to prosecute the
search any further"
Capt Dacy gave her look that he in
tended TO be very severe. Lead the
way to the cellar, he said. sternly
Polly obeyed with pretty pout. do
you think my father is like pork and
potatoes, to be in our CELLAR" she
asked.
"He is in the house somewhere, and
we intend to find him. answered the
officer. a young man who affected the
brusque style Of Tar,eton. well known
on both sides for his cruelty and sol
dieriike qualities.
But they found no hint Of anybody's
presence in the cellar; and, after a

the hot sun of a September afternoon
glowed upon the dusty highway and
upon the wide eXpanse of level fields
that hedged in the old house at Craw-
fords plantation in the WaXhaw region
of the Carolinas, as Mary Crawford, or
Polly, as everybody called her. sat by
the window, stitching a sampler, but
looking up ever and anon to watch for
travellers that might be coming up the
road.
The Crawford house stood well back
from the highway, with a garden be-
tween, bisected by a carriage drive
from the big white gates upon the road !;
but the young girl could readily descry
anyone passing up or down the thor
oughfare, distance of quarter of a
mile from the house. The watch she
kept was a keen one, for upon her faith
full sentinelship depended the safety of
a loved father.
Mai Crawford was an officer in the
patriot army under Gen. Gates, who had
Just an hour before, weary, travel
stained, and alone, arrived at his plan
He was at this moment in the kitchen,
eating the lunch that had been hastily
prepared by Mrs. Crawford and the
-colored cook, Chloe, preparatory to
continuing his journey to Sumpter's
army, which was encamped on the Wa
teree. Meanwhile Polly had been sta
toned at the window to keep lookout
against the approach of any tory or
British party that might be on his
track. 1t was just after the defeat of
Gates at Camden. and the kings men
were jubilant and active through the
Carolinas.
Polly Crawford was chubby, bright
eyed. saucy-looking girl of IS or IA
Years. She was the majors only child,
and was an arrant little rebel. The

hfX1le How, over a hundred
wv years ago,
King George looked
over the ocean,
And said: "Those colonies seem to be
Forgetting they all belong to me,
] must set my troops in motion.
So over the redcoats proudly came,
TO have a nice little jolly game
At teaching the rebels manners;
Thinking it would be rarest fun
TO see the pitiful Yankees run
At sight of the royal banners.
How their bayonets flashed and CLEANED,
How their eyes with ardor beamed,
AS forward they marched to battle!
Sure OF putting the foe to rout,
Sure Of wiping rebellion out,
At the first musket rattle.
Then came along a great surprise,
And old King George he opened his eyes
At hearing the news so stunning.
Plenty of soldiers turned their back
In quick retreat, but, alack, alack
Twas the redcoats did the running.
Sometimes they won, but the poor old king
Found it rather a serious thing,
This tramping out OF treason.
Still the vagabond rebel crew
Laughed at him and his soldiers too.
Where could he find reason?
oh. George the Third, if you had but known
We had George of our very own.
Leading US on to glory!
How little, a hundred years ago.
You dreamed that to-day we boys, no. no!
Would all he telling his story!
Well he led his patriot band,
Daring of heart and strong of hand,
Fit to follow a hero.
Tell it over how they and he
Firmly stood till our land was free,
With many a rousing cheer, OH
Many year of toll and strife,
Many a true and loyal life,
Was spent in trying the question.
At last CORVALLIS said to his men:
perhaps we'd better go home again."
They thought it good suggestion.
