two might make an attack on tbs Brit
ish general.
General Sumter was over hundred
miles away, with many rivers AMI for.
ests intervening. More formidable
than these were the British soldiers
guarding every road leading to the
south, and the Tory inhabitants Of the
country between the two patriot
forces There was some difficulty in
finding a man willing to undertake
the mission, but girl Of eighteen
came to General Greene and offered
her services.
She was Emily. daughter Of John
Geiger, an ardent patriot, who was
crippled and unable to bear arms, and
she begged an opportunity to do some
thing for her country. She was Il
good horsewoman, and knew the roads
for many miles.
General Greene hcsitatcd to send
this defenseless girl on so perilous n
journey, but finally her insistencc pre-
vailed. He gave her written mes
sage to Sumter, which she memorized
before beginning her journey.
On the evening of the second day.
after she had crossed the Saluda
River and was approaching the broad
Congaree near Columbia, three Of
Rawdon's scouts appeared in the road
in front. AS she came from the dircc.
ton Of the enemy and gave evasive an
swers, Emily was taken into LORD
Rawdon's presence. He was suspi"
cious and sent for two Tory women
living three miles distant to search the
prisoner.
During the few minutes that she was
left alone Emily tore up and swal-
lowed the paper on which General
Greenes dispatch was written, and
her secret was safe, although every
seam of her garment was ripped open
by the women searchers.
When Lord Rawdon permitted her
to continue her way, he furnished her
an escort to the house Of friend sew
eral miles distant and there fresh
horse was given her by the patriot.
Setting out again as soon as 1t was
prudent Emily continued her ride
through swamp and forest. where the
darkness was intense, until daylight,
when, with the exception Of the time
lost at British headquarters, she had
been twenty four hours in the saddle
At 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the
third day the brave girl rode into SUM-
ters camp. and although almost faint
ing from fatigue and hunger, delivered
clearly the message from General
Greene. 1t is said that In one hour
Sumter was ready to march, and soon
after Joined General Greene. In con-
sequence of this union of the Amerl-
can forces Rawdon was compelled to
retreat to Oranscburg, and later, de-
spairing of success, he sailed for Eu'
rope.
Two weeks after her ride Emily Gel
ger returned home General Greene
presented her with pair of earrings
and brooch that IS still in existence,
as Is a beautiful silk shawl presented
to her by General Lafayette on the oc'
casion Of his last visit to this country.

winters are not too cold, and where
the fowls are l.ept in pens side by side,
with adjacent yards outside. In such
Il case it is often inconvenicnt to get
into the yards unless one can go out
into them from the pens. With this
method of swinging the sashes the ne
cessity for having Il door in each pen,
as well rs window, is done away
with. In cold climates such plan
can be used for spring, fall and sum-
mer, closing the windows in the win.

device calls for a low window, and this
is desirable OH other accounts, rs only
low windows let the sunshine quickly

The richest milk Is that taken last
while milking. The "strippings" con-
tain five times as much butter fat as
the first milk drawn. 1t Is important,
therefore, that each COW be MIXED to

milk will be richer, but also because
the milking period Of the COW will also
be extended compared with careless

when the beast struck me on the head,
knocking me down. It was bear.
my first impulse was to run. but
the next instant something prompted
me to strike 1t several fierce blows
with a club which l was carrying.
For fully fifteen minutes l beat the

A BALTIMORE TRAGEDY.

William ]. Stone, once prominent

where the tragedy occurred. The man
was insanely jealous OF the woman
whom he apparently loved intensely.
10 fluential friends of Stone and bis
family In Virginia used every effort, 1t
ia said, to break him OF the infstuation,
but without avail. The Ksrstene wom-
an was very beautiful, and according to
reports. kept close to Stone until all his
money was gone. Then he noticed Q
coldness 10 her demesnor towards him,
which rendered him desperate. The
two attended river resort with COM
psnons on Saturday, and then came

He qusrrelled with the woman just
after their return to the Watson street
house and left her room. He secured q
butcher knife and then went back.
After he had entered the sound Of
angry voices attracted others to the
vicinity, and Stone was heard to say
that he would cut the Karstene wom-
ans heart out.
They were alone In the room until
the inmates were aroused by the WON
ans pitiful cry OF "Help! He is killing
me-"
When a policeman, who was In the
vicinity arrived on the scene, the wom-
an was stabbed to death, and Stone was
10 the act of slsshing bis OVID throat.
He was taken to the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, where the physicians say he
will soon recover.
Stone comes of q prominent and in
fuential family Of Virginia, and up to u
year ago was a well-to-do citizen OF
WarrentoD. He is the son Of the late
Thomas @. Stone, who lived near New
Baltimore, Fsuquier county. At that
time he mortgaged his property there,
| and deserted his wife and two children.
He went TO Washington, where bis
infatuation for the Karstene woman
was known to his friends, and caused
them considerable anxiety.
