old Alice Quinlan, graduate of Notre
Dame OF san Jose, and daughter OF
the wealthy w. S. Quinlan of this

Webster senior is OF the opinion
that the young people are too young
TO marry, and he is taking no
chances. Upon the fathers order,
the youthful lover made his way sor-
rowfully to the docks yesterday. Miss
Quinlan was with him. A final plea

Davidson is firm in his advocacy

Il don't see how the dirigible bal

value" he said. "It is too uncertain,
and the difficulties attending It's use
In war are too great to be overcome.

Colonists. But up to this time their
chief business had been to keep the
Indians In check, who were continually
wrought upon by British agents to join
them in the conflict. Roosevelt has
aptly described these Americans of the
Allegheny valleys, las a shield Of sin
ewy men thrust in between the people
of the seaboard and the red warriors
Of the Wilderness" and we'll had they
er duty called. They would not wait
for the foe to seek them in their
homes. They would seek him. So on
the morning Of the 26th they are ready
to march. In answer to a prayer and
an address by one of their preachers
they shout in chorus: "The sword Of
the Lord and of our Gideons," and
mounted on tough, wiry steeds they
turned their faces eastward over the
mountains, through rugged deflles, over
narrow trails, under frowning preci-
pices, this little army Of democratic
American citizens who would be free,
threaded their cautious way. Six days
later, on the 30th Of the month, they
are over the mountains at Quaker
Meadows. Here they are joined by
three hundred and fifty North Caroli-
mans under Cleveland and Winston
and Mcdowell, leaders true and tried,
and men seasoned by repeated conflicts
with their Tory enemies. Finally, in
the afternoon Of the sixth of October,
they reached Cowpens. There they are
joined by the forces of Lacy, Hill, Will
liams and Hambright, South and North
Carolinians who knew not how to yield.
They are now within striking distance
of the foe they are seeking. He is
only. little way ahead. having taken
a position on a hill near Kings Noun
tain, from which he said God Almighty
Himself nor all the Rebels out Of hell
could drive him.
But there is hardly time even for
rest. The time to strike their blow Is
at hand At 9 o'clock they set out,
The stars are obscured by heavy
clouds and drizzling rain begins to fall.
In black darkness they press on till the
