promptly availed themselves Wash
ington was not man before whom it
was ever safe to indulge in mistakes,
and the more difficult his position the
more dangerous he became. Trial, dam
ger, hazard, seemed to bring out all OF
the most remarkable qualities Of the
man in the highest degree. Nothing
alarmed him, nothing dismayed him,
nothing daunted him; the hotter the
conflict, the more pressing the danger,
the cooler he became. No man on
earth was ever more ready and quick
to avail himself of time and opportuni-
ty once he had determined upon a
course of action. This campaign was
the most signal illustration, among
many others, which his wonderful ca
reer affords. Action, prompt bold, de-
cisive, was as the breath of life to him,
but before coming to a decision, con-
trary to the custom Of great command
ers generally, he usually called coun-
Gil Of war, which on account of his ex-
cessive modesty he sometimes allowed
to override his own better Judgment,
to the great detrtment of the cause.
Alone he was superb. Given equal re-
sources, the world has not seen gen.
eral with whom he could not success
fully be matched. In this particular
juncture, fortunately for the country,
he insisted upon having his own way.
There were apparently but three al
ternatives before the council. The first
was retreat with all speed down the
river, leaving the heavy baggage and
artillery, and then crossing at Phila-
delphia, IL they could get there in time.
But this would be to abandon the
whole colony of New Jersey, to lose
the results of the whole campaign and
leave the enemy in fine position to be-
gin again in the spring, and If this
were the end they might better have
stayed on the west side of the river
Besides successes were vital and must
be had. Another retreat meant disin-
tegration and ruin in spite OF the lucky
stroke at Trenton.
The second alternative was battle
where they stood, and that meant
total defeat-a thing not to be consid-
cred a moment. The army must win
or die; and as dying could do no good,
it had to win. A brilliant idea, how.
ever, had occurred to the commander
in chief. the man of brilliant ideas He
communicated 1t to the council, where
1t instantly found adherents and OBJ
jectors too. 1t was the third alterna-
tive. A circuitous road called the
Quaker road, recently surveyed and
just made, led in a roundabout way
from the rear of the camp toward the
Princeton road, which 1t entered two
miles from that town. Washington's
plan was to steal silently away In the
night by this road, leaving bright fires
burning to deceive the confident
enemy, ana press with all speed to-
ward Princeton, strike Corvallis rear
guard there at daybreak with over
whelming force, crush It before that
general could retrace his steps, and
then make dash for the British sup
plies at New Brunswick. If it were
not practicable to reach that point,
Washington could take a position on
the hills above Morristown, on the

slams had gone into the hands and over
the backs and upon the feet OF the
men. But the clothed and the naked
were equally happy, for had they not
done something at last? Aye! They had
given assurance that they were meE
to be reckoned with.
Fired by the example set them by
the ContinentaIs, the Pennsylvania
militia, under Cadwalader and Ewing
and Mtfnin, had at last crossed the
Delaware and Joined Grifan's men.
Washington had followed them, and
the Goth of December found him estab-
lished in new headquarters at Tren-
ton. A number Of mounds In the fields
covered with snow, some bitter recol-
lections and sad stories Of plumber,
robbery, rapine and worse, told with
crashing teeth or breaking heart by
the firesides were all that remained
Of their strange antagonists in the
town. But the little town and the
little valley were to be once more the
scene Of war. The great game was to
be played again, and the little creek

Won Donop. That unfortunate COM
mander had been led away from his
camp at Burlington in pursuit Of Crit
fms gallant six hundred. When he re-
turned unsuccessful, the news from
Trenton had so alarmed him that he
fed preeipitately, abandoning his
heavy baggage and some Of his artil-
lery. 1t was work of joy for the
pursued to pursue, reversal of con-
tiitions which put the heavy German
veterans at strange disadvantage
compared with their alert and active
pursuers. They had marched through
that country with q high hand, plum
tlering and abusing It's Inhabitants in
q frightful way, and they were now
being made to experience the hatred
they themselves had enkindled. The
country people rose against them and
cut them off without mercy.
1t took two days to get the troops
, across on account OF the ice in the rtv-
er. And now came another difficulty
The time of the major part of the
Americans had expired on the last day
Of the year, but Washington had them
paraded and had ridden up llJsd adj
dressed them in brilliant, WIiit4rlike
fashion, and they had to man volun-
teered to remain with him for six
weeks longer, or as much more time as
was necessary to enable him to COM
plete his campaign before he went in
to winter quarters. He was at last
able to pay them their long deferred
salary out of the $4,000 sent him by
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-07-07

Mr.. Washington was attended to-, and
attended to so effectually that they
could enjoy the enforced hospitality
OF the surly but substantial Jerseymen
through the long winter nights undis-
turbed.
For his part, Mr.. Washington, having
tasted success, the first real brilliant
offensive success Of the campaign, was
quite willing to be attended to. In
fact, in manner which in another sex
might be called coquett!sh, he seemed
to court attention. Having successful
ly attacked with his frostbitten, ragged
regiments a detachment, he was now
to demonstrate 10 the world that not
even the presence OF an army could
estop him.
Things were not quiet on the Penn
sylvania side of the river either; there
were such cornings and goings in New
town as that staid and conservative
village had never before seen. Our
two friends. the sad hearted, were both
busfly employed. Talbot had galloped
over the fan1Aliar road and had electri-
fed the good people of Philadelphia
with his news and then had fastened on
to Baltimore to reassure the spirits of
the frightened congress. Honest Robert
Morris was trotting around from door
to door upon New Years morning, hat
in hand. begging for dollars to assist
his friend George Washington and the
cause of liberty and the suffering
army; and Seymour, become as it were
soldier. and with Philip for esquire,
was waiting to take what he could
get, be the amount ever so little, back
TO General Washington. The sailor
had been granted further leave of abb
ESence by the naval committee at the
generals urgent request, and was glad
to learn that he should soon have
command Of the promised ship of war
which was even then making ready in
the Delaware. Honest Bentley--be-
loved Of the soldiery in spite OF his
genuinely expressed contempt for land
warriors-was lending what aid he
could in keeping up the spirits of the
men and in other material ways in
the camp. Some Of the clothing, some
of the guns from the Mellish some of

flank OF the British, and, by threaten
ing their communications, force the
superior army to retreat and abandon
the field or else attack the Americans
in their intrenchments in the hills,
with a probable result even more dis
astrous to the attacking party than
at Bunker Hill. 1t was conception
as simple and beautiful as it was bold,
brilliant and practicable.
But now the DIRECTORS began. 1t
had been showing, sleeting and rain
ing for several days; the roads were
impossible, they had no bottom. OBJ
Jections were made on all sides-the
artillery could not possibly be moved,
no horses could pull the wagons
through the mud, the troops could not
march in it. But Washington, with
true instincts, held to his carefully de-
vised plan with an unusual resolution.
Arguing, explaining, suggesting, con-
vincing, persuading, the hours slipped
away until at 10 o'clock at night there
came sudden change in the weather,
perceptible even to those in the house.
Washington ran eagerly to the door
and opened it. Followed by the gem
eral officers, he stepped out into the
night 1t was dark and cloudy, no
moon or stars even, and growing cold
er every moment under the rising
northeast wind.
Gentlemen" he cried gayly, "Provi-
dence has decided for us. The wind
has shifted. The army will move in
two hours"
At the time specified by the COM
mander the muddy roads We're frozen
hard. The heavy baggage was sent
down to Burlington, and a strong
party of active men was left to keep
bright fires burning and charged to
show themselves as much as possible
and make great commotion by
throwing up fortidcations and loud
talking, with instructions to slip away
and join the main body early next day
as best they could. AT / o'clock In
the morning the astonished army
started out upon their adventurous
journey--another long, cold night

were to be with his antagonist. The

gracious and generous Britannia ma
5esty had sent over to the new Caesar,
General Howe, with so much lauda-
ton and SO many words of congratula-
ton, was to have little of it's iuster
diminished, and was destined to ap-
