Now, it was the custom in those

he found them slumbering he cried:

How Johnny Saw Them Go
a Story Of the Days of 1878

Near the close Of what had been a
delightful June day, in the memorable
year of 1778. two children were seated
at an upper window of a two-story
frame house on a quiet street in Phil
adelphia. They we're brother and sis
ter, Johnny and Prudence Phillips,
children Of Capt. Phillips. then with
Gen. Washington at Valley Forge, and
the topic Of their conversation was the
all-prevailing one of the war. r

day." suddenly exclaimed the boy.
lie was taking stroll along the river
front, and did not have his musket.
When he saw me he cried: Here we
are again, boys!' and then had a long
talk with him about many things:''
"Of course he told you when the
troops are going away" smiled Pru-
dence. II have no doubt you asked
him." ''.s.
"Of course I. asked him! There is
no harm In that, I'm sure. He told
me that he did not know anything
about the rumored evacuation

And To-! about this time the keg be-
gan to get busy. And James Dunstan
Dasho began to dance before the peo-
pie, and he spake many strange words,
the like Of which had never been
heard before. And 10! q red-faced
man with wart on his nose awoke
and remarked that James was not
pleasing unto him. And James and
he straightway rushed together with
much enthusiasm. And It came to
pass that James presently looked like
q bale Of loose hay. and he said he
had enough. And every one believed
him. Then he slept. And when he
awoke he found that his mules had
wandered OF about three days Jour
ney. Then he gathered his family to-
gether. and they hot footed It to town
And the following day his neighbol
questioned him how he had spent the

saw them enter, you know, and am
going to see them go, too.''
1t was just after sundown when
Master Walters came to the home OF
the Phillips children and called John
ny out.
The face of the Tory boy showed ne
had something important to communi-
cate, but what he said almost took
Johnny's breath.
''They are going this very night, -
said Master Toby, in whisper.
"What! the British?"
Gen. Howe and his men,"
Johnny agreed to keep the secret
Master Walters had impaired, and
when night came he met the tailor's
son at certain corner and the two
boys went to a quiet street which they
had reasons for thinking the British
troops would take, for it would lead
them to ferry below the city.
The hours dragged slowly to the
boys. The clock in a nearby steeple
struck ten, then II and finally IL. It
was midnight and the British had not
come.

ing out of the doorway. ''Aere they

clapped his hands.
"Here are Col. Monckton and his big
fellows" he cried, as a company OF
tall soldiers loomed up before them.

Meanwhile the boys were not only
protesting their innocence, but were
threatening him with that awful ayen-
ger OF all wrongs to whom the suffer
er turns with all confidence when all
other means fail, the big brother.
It was becoming an embarrassing
situation, in which Wilmont was look
ing for place to back out, when the
excited voice Of young woman broke
on his ears above the general din of
the day.
"Please don't hurt them," she ex-
claimed. "They didn't do it. l threw
those irecrackers at you myself out
Of the window, but l didn't suppose
you would take on so about it on the
Fourth of July"
Wilmont turned, and there pleading
before him was the divine one.
Il, beg your pardon" he stam-
mered; "of course didn't mind it,"
"Oh, l thought from the way you
acted, perhaps you did," she replied,
with twinkle in her eye.

"You might apologize to the world
through the boys" she suggested.
II will,'' he replied; but on turning
he discovered they had not waited for
the little pleasantries of life.

there was no suggestion of repentance

Ing house, overlooked in the grand
rush that carried the population to
: rural joys, should stay awake?
Hugo Wilmont thought not. He
tilted back the rustic chair on the
narrow porch and closed his eyes to
dream for a few sweet moments of
that one girl before he should drift
into oblivion.
1t is not at all uncommon for staid
and sober old bachelors who appear
to have drifted so far past the age
of romance that they cannot see back
to that land OF glories. to be nursing
a secret and hopeless love and getting
lots of: comfort out of it.
Wilmont closed his eyes; the dream
fairy, that amiable spIite who tells
us 50 many pleasant things that are
not so, was leading him gently back to
the old homestead and showing him
about the place, when from the calm
summer sky there burst forth thun-
der clap louder and more terrifying
than the combined report If all Of the
artillery in the world were being fired
of at once.
Just moment later he realized that
1t was only firecracker, singing its
part in the nations jubilee under his
chair.
That might have been considered a
good joke in the days when he was
young, but it didn't appeal to him just
then as such. "Confound those boys!"
he muttered, glaring at a group of
celebrators a few doors away, who
were, if appearances counted for any
thing, ignorant of the fact that he
was this side Of the Atlantic ocean.
He closed his eyes to think whether
he would demonstrate with them or
treat the matter with silent scorn,
when another reminder of the fact
that we licked the British once upon
a time sang forth noisy taunt in the
air at his side.
This was more than human being
made of the same kind of brittle clay
of which Adam was constructed could
be expected to stand. 1t was certainly
up to him, as responsible member Of
the community, to give those boys
lesson.
With bound he was on the lads
and, having seized two by the collars,
began In expletives far from polite to

night, Toby. When we are old men,
we can tell how we saw the kings
men steal out of Philadelphia"
That night Johnny had to describe,
for Prudence and her mother, the
evacuation Of the city, as he and Toby
had seen it, and before he retired he
wrote, among other things in his
diary, the following:
June 17.-This night ye British
went away. Toby and watched them
from doorstep, and I shook hands
with Corporal Benson, and wished
him well. Tomorrow there will be
great rejoicing among our people, and
ye city will put on new airs"
The next day Philadelphia awoke to
discover that she was no longer a
British city by occupation. The kings
troops had vanished during the night,
and few could tell how or when they
went. That very day some of Wash
ington's 8 light troops rode into the city,
and soon afterward the battle Of Mon
mouth was fought and the British Sc.
verely punished. '
The year after the war there came
to Philadelphia, by mail, a letter ad-
dressed to Master Johnny Phillips"
and when the patriot boy opened it,
he found several locks of pretty hair,
woven in the form of heart.
The heart was a double-leaf one,
and when Johnny opened it. he read,
in the handwriting of child: ..g
"From the children of Corporal
Benson, OF ye Royal grenadiers,. to
Master Phillips, who reminded their
father SO often Of his little ones at
home. Father sends his love-"
Johnny often told how he saw the
British evacuate Philadelphia, and
many years afterward an old man
showed with pride to his grandchil.
