CHAPTER XIX

~ N little time Anne was mounted
and on her way to the field Of
Yorktown, where the allied ar
- mics lay awaiting the outcome
of that flag of truce.
Joy rested over all the wide camps,
but there was none in her heart. She
was conscious only Of q dreadful,
numbing ache and a desperate neces-
sity TO see him once more-to tell him.
She had no further plan. The note she
carried from Henry brought her with
outsdelay to the officer of the day, and
the personal request 1t contained was
not TO be denied.
The sun was low when she passed
the inner works and entered Yorktown
between battered walls and gouged
earth mounds which testified to the
tierceness OF the FIRE rained upon the
British by Ferguson's and Machin's
batteries. ALI about her were honey

The Wheeling Register undertakes to
argue that it is not because of his color
that the Democratic party in West yir-
ginia wants to disfrancnise and intends
to, If it gets into power, but because
of his vice, uneleanness, dishonesty and
50 on. What remarkable statement.
To prove that color has nothing to DO
with the movement, the Register should
at once advocate step to separate the
good from the bad and then earnestly
impress upon its party the duty TO let
good colored men vote, but "all coons
look alike" to that paper and party and
neither will be found doing other than
plotting against the freedom of the
colored race. They can not hide their
diabolical scheme with the Sugar coated
expression that there i. good meant
for the colored man in the movement to
deprive him of his citizenship.
