A Juvenile Sketch

The Crosspatch Man was sick again,
and this time 1t must be pretty bad
for all the morning Meredith had been
watching the servants spread straw
before the house and muftie the big,
shiny doorbell.
Poor mani" mamma said. pitingly.
He Is sick so often"
But he's Crosspatch Man" NUT
tered Meredith stiffiy. Then he re-
pented and looked as shamefaCed as a
very little boy with very round, dim
pied face could look. I'm so sorry
he's very sick" he said slowly. II
s'pose it hurts even Crosspatch Men "
Mamma did not notice. She was
having her little noon gossip" with
papa and they were still talking about
their invalid neighbor.
1T isn't quite so bad as it seems,
you know" papa was saying. He al
ways has the straw laid down and
things muffied when he has one of
his worse nervous attacks. 1t doesn't
mean all that it does in most cases.
He is terribly afflicted by noise at al
most any time
Noise, | should think So That
was from Meredith, who pricked up
his ears at the word Didn't he know
how the Crosspatch Man felt bout a
noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd

Crosspatch Man a-scowling and "a

over in his mind all the glorious pro-

hadn't they had the proud honor OF
being the nojsest street in the city for

RUdd street was regular nest Of
boys They were boys everywhere on
it. You ran against boys when yuu
went east, and boys ran against You
wn,u you went west. Boys spranE up
in the most unexpected places. Tie
houses seem d to be running over
with boys. And really there was at
least one hoy--aud on an average two
or threc--iu every house on Meredith $
side, except in the Crosspatch Mans
house. Oh. dear me, no, there weren't
any boys there,
On the other side of the street you

you couldn't expect him to have boys
in the house. for how could he ever
write his sermons?
So il was, as ! said, an unfortunate
street to ha- nerves" on And the
Crosspatch Man Lad so many!
The three days between soon went
away. and it was the night-th, very
night-before it. There were only a
few hours more, for. OF course, you
didn't have to wait till the sun rose on

Meredith had drilled the Rudd
Street Second for the last time and
dispersed his men. He was on his
way home to supper. Going by the
Crosspatch Mans house. he heard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
window. He couldn't help hearing. it
was so quiet in the street Perhaps it
was the "lull before the storm
The sahib canrot bear t." a gentle
soothing voice was saying. but Mere
dith recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in it. The sahib will
be again sick"
Then came Merediths establishment
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was

gentle; and ii said:

amined in a greenhouse which then
stood in the garden of the Beekman
mansion.
Short was his trial. for he avowed at
once his true character. The British
general signed an order TO his provost
marshal directing him to receive into
his custody the prisoner convicted as
a spy, and to see him hanged by the
neck tomorrow morning at day
break"
Terrible things are reported OF the
manner in which this noble prisoner,
this admirable gentleman and hero
was treated by his iailer and GXeCu-
toner. There are savages in every
large army, and it is possible that this
pruvuSt-marshal was one of them. lt
is said that he refused him writing
materials. and aftCrward, when Cap
tain Hale had been furnished them by
others destroyed before his face his
last letters to his mother and TO the
young lady to whom he was engaged to
be married. As those letters were
