the sand removed and the army clothes

Captain Adams, her brOther-in-law, dressed
in the old buffers loose clothes and apron,
sat in the pantry and cleaned silver.
They were none too soon, for the Br1tlsh
soldiers were looking for Americans In every
house, and tremendous knocking warned
them that the enemy was at hand.

He was greatly surprised to see THIS

Washington as an Athlete.

When Washington was COMMANDMENTS
chief Of the army on one occasion he
went to the quarters of Col. Timothy Pick
ering, who had a negro servant named Pri-
mus. He found the colonel absent, but to
Primus' apology replied:
.'It does not matter. I am greatly in need
of exercise, and you must help me to get
some before your master returns"
Under Washingtons direction the negro
tied a rope to a neighboring tree, breast
high. Primus was ordered to stand at some
distance and hold 1t horizontally extended.
Washington ran forward and backward for
some time, jumping over the rope as he
came and went, until he was satisfied with
his exercise.
He learned fencing when quite young.
His teacher was an old soldier who had
seen service In the Indies. His stone
throwing feats across the Rappahannock
over the Palisades and to the top of the
Natural bridge in Virginia are mentioned
by all his biographers.
Charles Peale. the artist tells us when he
was painting his picture at Mount Vernon
in 1772 he saw him toss bar very much
farther than several young experts who
were testing their strength that way.
General Washington was splendid horse
man. There was no animal he could not
master, and he never lost his seat in the
saddle. Fox hunting was one Of his favor
ite amusements, and at the meet few OF
his friends or neighbors were better
mounted than he. He usually rode large
fiery animal of great endurance. called
"BMeskin' The names OF some Of his
and Magnolia.
The names OF some of his hunting dogs
were Vulcan, Ringwood. Singer, Truelove,
Music, Sweetlips. Forester and Rockwood

in-law standing in the hall. She was so
ing to cry out joyfully to them, for she
had not seen them for long time, and she
loved them very much, but her brother pat
his finger on his lips, and made a sign that
She must not speak
Then they softly went upstairs, and she
followed to the third story. where She
found her mother and her sister sitting be-
fore great fire, crying and trembling.
She heard her brother say that the British
had taken the town and that they would
probably be caught and put in prison.
4 have no other clothes here" he said.
'and the sight of this uniform would be
enough to seal my fater'
Then the two ladies cried harder than be-
fore-but suddenly voice said:
Take off thy suit, brother, and all thy
clothes, and go to bed.
All turned and saw Dorcas. who con-
tlnued:
I'VE will take up the bricks In front Of
this hearth and dig out the sand under
them. and bury brothers. suit; and he
must be very sick, till we can get nlrn
away"
And what shall dor asked her broth
er-in-law.
Thee must put on black Judah's clothes.
He ran away when the firing began, and
thee must be the butler
This seemed TO be the only thing they
could think of. The bricks were taken up.

and that to buy things without having
money was very wicked. Mother sends
things c. o. D.. but she has money in the

them. This manner of shopping was all
right for grown people, but IT would not do
for little girls" Papa talked so seriously
that Hazel almost felt as TX she had been
naughty. Papa's kiss. though. was very
loving as she went to bed, SO she made up
her mind that shopping c. o. ID. was one
more of the many things that were all
right for grown-ups, but all wrong FOR
children.
