expression eff her face, as though she
were suffused with some strong con
trolling spiritual influence.
When hidden to speak she asked for
the life of Captain Asgill simply, di-
rectly and with no waste OF words.
"And what is he to you?' asked
Washington.
"He is to be my husband" she re-
piled.
This ran counter to W~ashington's
information and was precisely the sto-
~ which would have been put upon
the lips Of i spy.
The general looked keenly at this
blue eyed, slender girl who faced him
so calmly.
The fate of Captain AsgiIl rests not
with me, but with the congress-" he
said Nevertheless my wish might
have it's weight. What has led you to

This appeal, uttered with that pecul-
lar power which from complete
spiritual conviction, affected Wash
ington powerfully. but he was still in
doubt.
IN Captain AsgilTs circumstances"
said he, lit would be natural to ask
leave to communicate with his be
trothed. Permission would have been
granted. but it has not been asked"
She drew AsgiH's letter from hnr
bosom.
"A soldier brought me this" said
she. Il beg you to read it."

His Quaint SUGGESTION.

A F|renchman who appears to have
been of Il thrifty turn Of mind con
ceived the idea in 1878 that too much
valuable time was being wasted in
cleaning sardineS when preparing them
for the market. He found a way of
preparing them without cleaning them.
and on this he took out letters patent.
Apparently he had somr slight miEgiv-
ing as TO whether the pablic wonld I've
perfectly suited with lis Invention.

MAKING ICE.
The Process Is Simple, Though 1t Puz-

The Process Is Simple, Though 1t Puz-
zIed the Negro.
A sailboat in which were a white
man and several negroes had just left
the wharf npar IN ice factory at the
foot of Main street. Annapolis, and
was headed out the mouth of Severn
river. toward a point on the Chesa-
peake.
'Ye-e-th. thir." an old time cOlored
man was lisping. Il like to git a

said the white man.
"Ye-e-th. thir, | like to hear bout it."
well. in the first place, they have
a tank of ammonia. to which a small
amount of heat is applied. 1t does not
take much heat to convert the am
monia into vapor, and even that heat
is used up in causing the liquid to ex-
pand into a gas. or become latent, as
it is called. SO that the temperature
is not materially affected.
Now. suppose the ammonia gas Oc-
cupies a hundred tines as much space
as the liquid. 1t is evident that the
liquid contains a certain amount Of
heat, which is afterward distributed
over Il hundred times the space first
occupied. \ cubic foot of the liquid
becomes Il hundred cubic feet of gas,
and it is plain that a cubic foot of
gas will contain only one-hundredth
part of the heat originally in a cubic
foot of liquid; hence the gas is much
colder than the liquid.
Now. this gas or vapor is allowed to
flow through pipes covered with salt
water. which becomes extremely cold.
but does not freeze. owing to the pres
enc of salt. The fresh water desired
to be frozen is put into large metal
cans and placed in the cold salt water
and allowed to freeze.
There is nothing mysterious about
the process. II is. in fact, very simple.

give you my promise that if | myself
am spared for a sufficient time Cap
tain Asgill shall not die"
The rest is history.
Captain AsgiIl remained under SEN
tence Of death, but the popular outcry
was unavailing to drive him to the
scaffOld.
In June, still under sentence, he was
admitted to parole and was for some
time in Philadelphia, where Marjory
was with her father, whose release
she had secured-partly, no doubt,
through influence eXerted in his favor
by Washington.
In Philadelphia the lovers met and
plighted their vows and won a some
what grudging consent from Thomas
Lynde.
All through the summer Asgill re-
manned in his strange position. prac-
tically a free man, yet under the shad-
ow of the gallows. But a powerful
hand protected him and guided his af-
fairs, and in the autumn he was freed
finally from all restraints. and he and

winter of 1852, which was not many
months before the final departure of
the British power from the city.
So he must have possessed a measure
of shrewdness with his obstinacy and
a spirit not to be crushed by affection.
He had a daughter, MarjOry. who
had inherited her mothers beauty and
her fathers indomitabIe courage, per
haps some of his obstinacy as well, for
when there came at last a difference Of
opinion between them she did not
yield even to his iron will.
The cause of this difference vas a
handsome young officer of the guards,
a soldier Of the king, and therefore in
the eyes of Lynde a natural enemy.
But he was not a natural enemy in the
eyes Of Marjory. He was an officer and
a gentleman, doing his duty as his
conscience commanded and his circum-
stances permitted.
Marjory was a patriot, but she was
q woman, and it seemed reasonable
enough to her that Captain Asgill
should be a good man, while every
other British soldier was an abhOrred
invader and the minion of a tyrant.
She was not swdyed by personal
preference for Captain Asgill, she as
Eured her father, but simply by her
sense of justice.
1t was inconceivable to Lynde that
his daughter could love a redcoat.
she had seen her mother fade and
perish from the mere stress of their
intolerable situation, as much a vic
tim of the horrors of war as any sol
tlier slain in battle. Her two brothers
had served in the patriot armies, and
one had died Of sickness and the other
Of a wound.
But MarjOry knew or felt that Cap
tain Asgill was not responsible for
these ills, or at least she could not feel
that he was, and she did not relin-
uuish his acquaintance despite her ia
theirs wish.
Captain AsgiIl did not visit her, be-
cause he knew Lynde's sentiments.
which he hoped to overcome, but there
were two or three homes III the mar
row circle of Marjory's social life
where Asgill by the exercise CT q
lovers ingenuity could see her now
and then in the company of others.
Upon a certain evening in April he
came Lurriediy to her house. Marjory
Eaw him entering by the gate. and
she knew by his name and indeed
by his mere presence there that no or
binary errand had brought him.
She met him in the hall, the broad
door being open and the full moon
shining in upon her, and a pretty girl
in the moonlight vas the same a hun
Gred years 6 or a thousand.
A sudden impulse of tenderness
Ewayed Asgill uncontrollably. He eX-
tended both hands and drew Marjory
toward him, and at that moment
Thomas Lynde stumped out into the
hall.
The scene was very brief, and Mar
Jury was banished at the beginning.
The next minute. as it seemed to
her, Asgill was gone, and she did not
know why he had come or what be
had meant to say or do.
T gave him his walking papers,"
said Thomas Lynde and added grimly:
"Now 1t remains to be seen what he
viii do to me. That young rascal has
influence, my girl. He would like me
out of the way perhaps"
One week later Lynde wSs arrested
and imprisoned by order OF the board

Thomas Lynde was a patriot in the
days Of 1776, but fate denied him the
pleasure of fighting for his country.
He had been crippled by an accident,
so that one of his legs was shorter
than the other and had to be made
even with a sort of silt, upon which
he trudged about vigorously enough
for the purposes of business, but not
for those Of war.
