Come back, Connecticut ! I'm
waiting for you T.
His captain heard the boy, aud
waved his sword with hoarse cries to
his men. They caught sight of the
lonely little figure in the background,
aud bis cry went to their hearts, and
a great wave of rage aud shame swept
the line like a prairie FIRE. Like a
lsndslide the men ofConnectieut swept
forward to rscapturs the ground they
had yielded. Back fell the British
before oounterchsrge they could not
withstand, back beyond the rail fence.
Nor was there refuge even there, for
shattered and spent, they were smash
ed to fragments in a flank attack dry
en- home in the nick of time by the
American reserves.
From a low hill to the right of this
action General Washington had paus'
ed to view the charge just when his
line gave way. He sent an officer In
hot haste for reserves, and waited for
them where be was.
Thus it happened that his eye swept
the Uttered field from which Jsbez
Rockwell rose, as one from the dead {,
to rally his comrades. alone, undaunt-
ed, pathetic beyond words. A little
later two privates were carrying to
the rear the wounded lad, who had
been picked up alive and conscious.
They halted to salute their command
er.in-chief, and laid their burden
down as the general drew rein and
said
Take this man to my quarters,and
see to it that he has every possible at
teDtion. l saw him save regiment
and retske position"
The limp figure on the litter OF
boughs raised itself on an elbow, and
said very feebly:
81 didn't want to see that powder
horn disgrsced, sir.
With smile of recognition Gener-
al Washington responded
The powder-horn ! remember.
You are the lad who led the powder
horn rebellion at Valley Forge. And
wrote down Seventeen seventy elk.
You have used it well, my boy. |

When Jabez Rockwell was able to
reloln his company ne scratched upon

legend he had carved at Valley Forge:

A hundred years later the grandson
of Jsbez Rockwell hung the powder
horn in the old stone house at Valley
Forge which had been General Wash

should chance to see it there you will
find that the young soldier added one
more line to the rough inscription

Was Pursued by Big Bear.

Washington, N. C. Special.-Mr.
Lonnie Wollard of Nicholsonville &
residential suburb of this city has
quite an exciting story to tell about an
adventure that he had with a large
bear in a swamp about two miles from
this city several days ago. According
to Mr. Wolard s version he was pass
ing this swamp late one afternoon and
was attracted by the movement Of
some large animal in the thicket. Up
on investigation he found It to be Il
large bear, which started after him.
Mr.. Wbllard Immediately retreatcd
after firing both barrels of his gun at
bruin, which caused the bear to change
his course decidedly, though only
wonnding him slightly. Farmers from
the counties adjoining this report
bears to be unusually numerous in the
swamps and thickets and say they are
committing depredations on the farms
to no small extent.
