PENIS GROVE, N. j.. FRIDAY. JULY /. 1910. NUN

Grandmother used to say that her
grandmother's Revolutionary expert
ences were not all so sad as this me.
and once she was SO thrilled at q
story that she exclaimed:
"Oh, grandmother, 1 wish l could
be in a war!"
Then Nancy Butler Brooks, as she
was then named, vas very angry.
"You wicked child, hush! You
don't know what you are wishing!"
Anyway, poor grandmother had her
foolish within gratiied, for she lived
through the Civil War, and we have
her portrait, painted after she was
ninety years old. We also have a

lily, written by a descendant of Nam

Their, James Butler, a namesake of
his ancestor, the duke, came to Amer
lea when it was really a new world,
and settled with his family in South
Carolina. He had a wife, many>stal-
wart sons, and our heroine, Nancy,
a black-eyed girl of sixteen.
The country was in a state of rev.
olution, and, while it was a time that
tried mems souls, and women's too,
it was also the opportunity for brav-
cry. hardihood and loyalty. James
Butler and his sons were said to know
not fear, and were such ''%terrors" to
the enemy that it was considered a
| great deed to capture or kill even one
of them.
One day a notorious Tory named
| Cunningham, suspecting that Butler
! would visit his home to see his wife,
who lay -ery ill, waited in ambush
with a large party of Tories to take
| him unawares. The English soldiers

! woodland home they were surrounded
by the Tory band, fired upon and then
hacked to pieces with sabres. The
| Americans made a brave defence, and
Butler himself fought desperately,
even after both of his hands were
cut off. But when the Tories were
done the little band was nothing but
a mangled mass. The Tories then
hid in the thickets, hoping more of
the family would appear, but James

words made the men ashamed and
they troubled her no more.
1t was almost impossible for Nancy
to identify her dead, but her shrewd
and loving eyes at last saw some ia

her in her sad and terrible search,
Then she went home to return with
