CHAPTER XII,
LOOKING AHEAD.


 returned toward the Broad river, where, under the lee of a little hill, tent had held six or seven friendly women. Julia came out, her face still pale for she had heard all the crash and tumult of the battle.
 ''It is over, Julia, said-Ihad hid my bloody sword-''and the British army no longer exists. ''
 And the victory is yours! Yesterday thought it impossible.
 "Your countrymen make the same mistake over and over again, but they pay the price,"
 We walked toward the feld and we met some men bringing ill gray haired prisoner, tall, fine looking officer. Julia, crying aloud in her joy, ran for ward and embraced him. He returned the embrace again and again with the greatest tenderness.
 "Father,'' said Julia, "we are now prisoners together

 ''I do not know you. sir,'' he said. My name is Philip Marcel, and am your future son. in law.''
 He was now unable to speak.
 Ut is true, sir, l said. Ask your daughter.
 He looked at her. She smiled and reddened.
 Old Put was standing by, and he nod ded his head in approval. He had liked her from the first.
 Your daughter is to be my wife, '' continued, with emphasis, land you are to live with us and like us'' These Were resounding boasts for a young soldier to make but they all came true after Yorktown.

 The smoke was lifting and clearing away somewhat, and the fire of the rifles had declined from steady craclSle to jets and spurts. A dozen of the mlE- tiamen had seized one of the brass field pieces of the British, and Howard's Con- tinentals already held the other. Every where cries of "I surrender, surrender! Quarter, quarter" arose from the Brit ish horse and foot, who were throwing down their arms to receive from us that quarter which we willingly gave, but which the bloody Tarleton had so often denied to our men.
 I could scarce believe what I saw. The whole British army seemed to be killed, wounded or taken. The muskets and bayonets, the swords and pistols, rattled as they threw them upon the ground. Whole companies surrendered bodily. An officer, his gay uniform splashed with mud and blood, dashed past me, flashing his horse at every jump. It was Tarleton himself, and be- hind him came Washington pursuing with all his vigor and lunging at the fleeing English leader with bayonet fastened at rifles end. He returned after awhile without Tarlcton, but there was blood on his bayonet. Tarleton, though wounded in the shoulder, escap- ed through lhe superior speed of his horse, to be taken with Cornwallis and the others at Yorktown.
 The general raised his sword and cried to us to stop firing and striking, for the field was won and the battle was over, and he spoke truly. Far away showed the red backs of some of the English fleeing at the full speed of their horses, but they were only few, and almost their entire army lay upon the field, dead and wounded, or stood there our prisoners. The defeat that so many of us feared had proved to be the most brilliant little victory ill our his tory, masterpiece of tactics and valor, the decisive beginning of the great cam paign which won us back the southern colonies, one of the costliest of all her battles to England. I have told you how 1t was now, just as the histories, both English and American, tell it to you. All honor and glory to the gallant blow boys of South Carolina and Georgia who received the first shock of the British army and broke it so bravely! Of the l, 100 British veterans who attacked us only 200 escaped from the field, and we took all their cannon, baggage, ammu milton and small arms, even Of those who escaped, for they threw them away in their flight. The killed, wounded and taken just equaled the numbers of our entire army, and we had only 12 men dead.

 As a general thing when Mrs. Hud. gems spoke in that decided tone of voice no one ventured to dispute her, but on this occasion MT. Hudgens felt it his duty to protest. He said that except as a favoring' extract for mincemeat he had no sort of use for liquor him. self, but in that connection it was in- dispensable. Buckingham said that Mrs. Hudgens' recipe was so absolutely perfect that the least departure from its letter, and particularly it's spirit, was fatal. Even Ethelinda joined the opposition. Mrs. Hudgens, however, was immovabie. She declared that un- less they could find something else the matter with the mincemeat it should fill the pies it was, from henceforth until it was exhausted, and she kept her word.
 This year when the making of mince- meat began Mrs. Hudgens was implored not to forget the brandy, but she would give no definite assurance that sha would not. She frightened her lips in what the family declared to be an o1n- inous way. There was great deal of anxiety on the subject.
 E'She still thinks that there was something else missing last year." whispered Buckingham to Clinton and his father as they retired to the pantry to consult. 'You see, she will make cocksure of everything else, but she'll leave out that one thing altogether"
 II suppose she's the doctor,'' sighed Hudgens.
 Clinton merely shook his head, and as there seemed nothing further to do the men moved to the porch.
 If Buckingham's surmise concerning the housewife's intentions was correct she repented of it suddenly, for she was no sooner alone than she went to the medicine closet and brought out a bottle of brandy, with which, she lib- orally dosed her mixture. Then she stirred it well and left the room to at tend to something else. In a few mo- ments Hudgens came in with bulge under his coat, looked cautiously about him and then called to his wife, who replied from the top of the staircase that she would be down in a minute or two.
 "A minute or two is good," grinned Hudgens, and, drawing a bottle from under his coat, he poured about half of its contents into the mincemeat, stirred it up and sneaked away.
 Then Ethelinda came in from school through the back door, and, noticing that the medicine closet was unlocked,

went to close it and noticed the bottle. She uncorked it, sniffed at it daintily and shuddered. Looking around, she saw the mincemeat on the table and decided that a little of the horrible stuff wouldn't hurt it much. She put in more than she intended to, however, and fled in |; panic as soon as she had replaced the bottle.
 More than a minute or two passed, end still Mrs. Hudgens did not reap pear; instead, Clinton came in and stood with his hands in his pockets. whistling and looking at the big pan of mincemeat Then the door suddenly opened and Buckingham came in, look ing particularly uneoncerned and care less.
 Its all right said Clinton. There isn't anybody around. Have you got it?''
 For answer Buckingham produced a pint flask from his hip pocket, and the liquid it contained was speedily emptied into the pan.
