The upper rooms of the mansion

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-
ford's 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 garden be-
tween, bisected by 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
tation after an absence of many weeks.
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 jubiiant 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

when he was told of the near approach
of his foes, but he was man of daunt-
less energy and accustomed to danger.
His first act was to run to the window
and look out. A 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.

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! 1 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 a large meat barrel.

of the cellar few days before, and was
now standing empty beside a pile of
wood. In her desperation the girls
quick eye espied it, and she drew the
hunted officer toward it.
Its 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 Englshman 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, 1--WE

Capt. Dacy gave her look that he in

Polly obeyed with a pretty pout. do

potatoes, to be in our cellar?" she
asked.

officer, young man who affected the

on both sides for his cruelty and sol

turning to Mrs. Crawford, he contin-

While Wilson was delivering the cap

Crawford opened the sideboard, and
set out decanters and dishes, and the
negress brought some fresh wine from
the cellar. The Englishman smacked

The Briton and the tory looked UP

very man for whom they had been
searching so vainIy. He held in each
hand loaded pistol, and their muzzles
were pointed at the hearts of the ban

How to Govern the Tongue.

Many times over it may be truth.
fully told that the tongue is ar
unruly member. = There are times
when the tongue appears to act OF
it's own accord without volition OF
the person. Things are said that
should not be said, things, perhaps,
that one has determined not to say.
The tongue cannot originate
thought. The tongue which speakes
SC, apparently without being com
manded to speak, is only giving
utterance to thoughts which have
been in the mind and which were
struggling for expression. To keep
our tongues from speaking things we
would not say, we must keep our
minds from thinking such thoughts
When unkind. unjust and wrong
thoughts come in the mind, they
should be quickly banished. If we
harbor the thought and think it
again it is sure to find expression.
We get to look the sort of thought
we harbor in our mind. We should,
therefore be ever on the guard over
our thoughts.
Evil thoughts easily enter the
mind, but should be quickly sup
pressed. The best way to keep evil
from the mind and thus from the
tongue also, is to fill the brain
with good thoughts. Think of all
that is beautiful in nature. Think
of what is admirable in the character
of those around us. Surround your
self, as far as possible, with that
only which is beautiful, pure and
true. Instead of pointing out the
flaws and failings of people. see the
good that is in them. Give cordial
recognition to every noble deed,
each touch of tenderness, of truth,
Of unselfishness. There are none
so bad but that some good may be
found in them. Fill the mind with
good thoughts and the tongue will
prove less an unruly ember--Mil-

1t is not generally known that the

been systematically held up by an

the diminutivei Filipino in no wise
lacks many of the qualities of his
captor, Col. Funston, himself.
The traveller at the Imperial had
had ample opportunity to study the
insurgent leader at Hong Kong,
prior to Admiral Dewey's sortie into
