preference, the old lady had one I'M

was too weak to stand such a blow
as that. The French would be
affrighted; there would be no more
of their aid Forthcoming, and with
out it where would Mr.. Washington
be? On his. knees before King
George.
They finished their supper and
arose from the table. Jane could
hear them tramping about the room.
moving chairs and buckling belts,
evidently preparing for departure.
She had gathered that they were to
ride eastward and join Bessemer to
report the result of their recon
n%oissance. The attack was to be
made that night. The door opened
and closed. They YER gone.
She arose, lighted her candle, and
looked at her watch. A quarter of
eight. Slowly she dressed. Mrs.
Ellery's snores we're plainly audible
from the next.room. She opened her
door and peered into the hall. It was
deserted. A torch over the stairway
and another at the farther end were
it's only lights. She walked to the
head of the stairs and began the
descent. They ended in a corridor
below. She passed along this to the
rear of the house. The way wa dark,
but she had been ovcr it before, for
the carriage had driven through the
inn-yard to the stable and she and her
aunt had alighted there, entering by
the back way.
She gathered her skirts about her
and went down the corridor steps.
The stable was only a short distance
from the house. One of it's double
doors stood open. A lantern hung
within. She made her way to the
traveling-carriage and took from
under the back seat a hooded cloak
which she threw about her. Then
she took a look at her horses, like the
