lutionary soldiers bitterly hated these
hircling enemies The feeling Of bit
tcrncSs was handed down to their sons
But, In the light of all the facts con
ncctcd with the employment of these
unfortunate fighting men, ii would
seem that we should remember them
with pity rather than with Srorn. AS
individuals they We're in no way TO
blame. They We're slaves not free
men. They We're driven like cattle to
tn" slaughter, altogether against their
will. They fought ticrccly, as a rule
but chiefly to survive rather than to
Slav. Now and then some OF them re
sorted to cruel and unnecessary butch
cries, but they We're brutaliZcd by their
trade and 10y the example of their Brit
iSh confcdcratcs and the savage In
dams whom the British employed as
warriors against American liberty.
King George III. bought outright
these IIcSSian soldiers to the number
of 11,i26, paying $1,000 Il head to the
petty German princes who supplied
them. They came chiefly from the
principalitics of HcSsc and HcSSe-Cas-
sci, which accounts for the name Hes
sian being applied to all of them.

The Americans routed his command
with great slaughter, capturing many
men and n considerable quantity OF
stores.
The HeSsian military band was cap
turcd, and it is highly interesting to
note that on the next Fourth of July
the first celebration of Independence
day was cnlivencl by music from this
same band, to the supreme delight and
satisfaction of the people. For three
weeks in advance of the first glorious
Fourth elC musical IIcSSianS were
compelled to practice patriotic Amer
lean airs. They played all day in a
public square. This is one of histOry's
most glorious jokes.
Poor Colonel Rail paid dearly for his
Christmas celebration. He was NOR
tally wounded early in the fight at
Trenton and died shortly afterward.
Washington paid him Il visit after the
battle and expressed his sympathy
Rail was accounted brave soldier.
General John Stark had an encounter

Here the august sovereign of Great

The Tories went into panic and flight
at once, and the Indians soon joined
them, leaving the poor benighted Hes
slams TO bear the brunt of the battle
The Hessians fought furiousy, but
John Starh's militia was too much for
them. Stark said In his official re-
port that the battle lasted two hours
and was the hottest he ever saw, be-
ing like one continued clap of thun-

commander, was wounded and soon
died. With 100 of his men the wound

could not make up her mind nor could
she decide which she would prefer to
have win. Harry was so eager to
please her and SO ready to do things
for her himself that whatever he did
had certain intimate kindness that
was pleasing. Leon. on the other hand,
was so masterful and rcsourccful that
she could not withhold admiration,
Though he never appeared to stir a
mnd personally to please her, he al
ways met her desires like magicinn.
The fact was that Harry represented
the old fashioned individual idea OF

~ II. dear; oh, dear
There was an expression
Of comical distress on the
~ girls face as she issued
from the log built bungalow to tell her
troubles to the two young men who
were lounging and smoking at the en-.
trance. Not being permitted to kill
one another, they were killing time
and waiting for n chance to serve the
tyrant they both worshiped
Just think of it," she exclaimed.
Here we are In sight of British ter
rltory and today the Fourth of July
and those stupid packers left out all
the fireworks we intended having for
our celebration. Isn't 1t drcadfult"
"Is that allf' Harry Townsend was
already on his feet and ready for &C,

"All! Isn't that enough? Wen have
to sit here and look on while every
island In the st. Lawrence river blazcs
with loyalty To the stars and stripes
and defiance to the union jack"
IF you don't mind my running away
for Il few hours, I'll soon fix that"
said Harry.
You have no idea how grateful /
shall be-" said Ethel Darlington, her
gray blue eyes softening with pleasure
rs she realized his readiness to meet
her wishes even in trifes Lifting his
hat, with n smile that suggested his
gratitude, Harry turned and hurried
away toward the dock where the one
steam launch in the vicinity could be
chartered
"And | wonder if YOU have any sus-
piCion of how grateful | shall expect
you to be-" he muttcrcd
When Harry had Disappeared Ethel
turned with some annoyance toward
Leon Ogden, who had noticed her ap-
proaCh merely by turning his head in
her direction without rising from the
hammock in which he was stretched
He had heard her complaint and Har-
rvs eager request to be allowed to
remedy 1t without comment.
You don't seem to consider the mat
ter very serious she said with a
slight frown. for she was too much
the woman of the worll to use the
pouting tactics of an unflcdgcd girl.
To her rcproof Leon replied:
ION the contrary. consider the mat
ter very serious, altogether too serious
to be dealt with with Dut due conSilrra-
ton. especially since the reward for
overcoming the difficulty is to be your
gratitude, hope you will let me try

fireworks with"
Yes. Harry is sudden. WheA he

''But I've been GoInE a little thinking

had commenced pu'..ng away from the
island Leon was GGuring ont with the

In radius of twenty miles at which

From the spicy shade of the pine
trees Ethel looked out ut the St Law
