was by far too cold at o'clock to be
out in the open air-at least. so thought
the ferryman at Gowans Ferry. as he
betook him to the shore upon the west
bank OF the river to see to his boat.
He was but partially awake; for. be It

None might question this man.
IF you bring him to me dead or alive

Why l spoke with such confidence, God
only knows. The whole bearing o, the
great soldier seemed to go into me for
that moment and l felt certain all
should be done as he said. little knew
what was TO come.

''If you are taken, sir, neither / nor
any human soul can save your life. You

Il understand" said I, looking him in
the eye.
Now, as to your necessaries," and
he went into another room, returning
in moment with several papers. In
the instant OF his absence l had made up
my mind to one thing. and as he re-
turned. asked

missions?"

quickly. Three American soldiers in

mander. 81 am putting great reliance in

Whist is in your mind?" he asked,
with slow. quiet smile.
There are two lieutenants in Colonel

Washington glanced at a bundle of pa
pers on the table again. "Lieutenants
Curtis and Acton"
Yes, your Excellency."
You have known them long and
well?"
Il have known them scarcely two
weeks. but l know them we'll"
They may betray you"
That will be impossible"
How is that?"
