had gone to him for John the Baptist.
This is what she read:
MY Dear Dundas-1 suppose we must let
the lady have her prisoner. Just give

She stood still moment, afraid of
the beating OF her heart, cherishing a
thought that was like white coal in
her brain. If she could! The soldiers
were looking at her curiously, for wo.
men were rare in the town. If she
could!
Then, clasping the paper to her
breast, she ran with winged feet to.
ward the barrack. AS she neared the
river bank the sun was half disk of
deep orange red.
The Hessian sentry was still on
guard. But he had seen his colonel's
previous greeting, and as she fastened
up the steps he threw the door wide,

straight into Dundas' presence. He

laughed-aaughed joyfulIy with her
heart quaking and fainting.
"You have it, am glad" Dundas
reached for the paper and read it,
smiling. General CORVALLIS is surely
occupied. He has cen forgot to date it.
However, He struck bell. "Ser-
geant, tell Major Needham his file will
not be required tonight, and bring the
prisoner Armand, fully clothed, to me-"
She scarce heard what followed save
to realize in vague way that he was
marveling at her miracle. But every

PATENT EXHIBIT AT FAIR
The United States Is to show some
Interesting Models of Early
Inventions.

The exhibit of the United States Pat
emit Office at the Worlds Fair will
show a series Of models designed to
represent ideas that have made epochs
in the industrial history of the world.
So far as possible, the first thing Of
its kind in every line of human inyen-
ton will be shown. For instance, Wis
itors will have an opportunity to see
the actual sewing machine which was
the first practical continuance of its
kind ever constructed. 1t was patented
in 1916 by Elias Howe. Previously, in
1912, j. ]. Greenough had obtained a
patent for a sewing machine, which
carried the cloth along automatically
having a needle with a hole in the mid
die.
Equally interesting in its way is the
earliest typewriter, which was pat
ented by C. Thurber in 1912. The type
keys are set around the periphery Of
a horizontal brass wheel, and in or.
der to print a letter it is merely neces'
sary to punch one of the buttons
which causes the type to descend
through a little tube and make a mari
upon a slip of white paper.
The exhibit will include a model 0
the first cast-iron pillow, which was pat
ented by Charles Newbold in 1897, an,
the first screw propeller, which wa
invented by Robert Hook in 1850.
The invention of the steamboat
credited to Robert Fulton, yet in tn
seventeenth century Denys Papi
launched on the Seine, in France, a boa
that was run by steam. 1t is a matte
of historical record that the rive
barge men smashed Papin's boat be
cause they feared that it would in
lure their business.
The most interesting Of all model
however, in the line Of aquatics, wi
be that of Abraham Lincoln's famou
device for lifting steamboats, o
shoals.
Another exhibit will be the FIR
! printing press and harvesting machin
the latter made in $50 B.. G.
The first locomotive and first steai
Q engine, made in Egypt $50 B. c.. ais
8 will be shown with many other raI
& inventions.
