winter of 1882, which was not many
months before the final departure OF
the British power from the city.
SO he must have possessed measure
of shrewdness with his obstinacy and
a spirit not to be crushed by aftliction.
He had a daughter, Marjory, who
had inherited her mothers beauty and
her fathers indomitable 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 was 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 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
a woman, and it seemed reasonable
enough to her that Captain Asgill
should be good man, while every
other British soldier was an abhorred
invader and the minion of tyrant.
She was not swayed by personal
preference for Captain Asgill, she as
sured 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
der 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 Mariory 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 Asgill did not visit her, be-
cause he knew Lynde's sentiments,
which he hoped to overcome, but there
were two or three homes In the mar
row circle of Marjorys social life
where Asgill by the exercise of a
lovers ingenuity could see her now
and then in the company of others.
Upon a certain evening in April he
came hurriedly to her house. Marjory
saw him entering by the gate, and
she knew by his manner 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 pretty girl
in the moonlight was the same hun
dred years ago or thousand.
A sudden impulse of tenderness
swayed 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
fury 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 he
had meant to say or do.
at gave him his walking papers"
said Thomas Lynde and added grimly:
''Now it remains to be seen what he
will do to me. That young rascal has
influence, my girl. He would like me
out of the way perhaps"
One week later Lynde was arrested
and imprisoned by order of the board
of royalists, and Marjory was left In

THE YOUNG

A Lass Who Faced Washington

BY HOWARD FIELDING.

Thomas Lynde was 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.
He was a merchant in New York,
and he stayed there, never concealing
his sentiments, constantly prosecuted,
yet managing to live through 1t all and
even to retain his liberty up to the

A little more than seventy years ago
there was no such thing as brass

than 1885, Prior to that time even the

entirely from Instruments of wood.
and as recently as 1873 full regi-
