Hale joined the army as lieutenant.
The almost foolhardy courage with
which he risked his life and the skill
he showed as an officer led to his
quick promotion to captaincy. Life
held no hope for him now that he had
lost Alice, and he delighted in TAX

less unhappy man.
Then came turn in his fortunes.
Alice Ripley's husband died. There
was no longer barrier between the
lovers. For Alice was widow and
independent. Nathan himself was 21.
Both had thus passed beyond the
bounds of Deacon Hale's authority
The path to their happiness was at
last clear. They became engaged
The date for their marriage is said
to have been set. Yet, to win honor
in his sweetheart's eyes, Nathan
sought to accomplish still Drawer deeds
than before. Soon the coveted chance
for distinction came.
The American army had been forced
to abandon New York. The city was
in British hands. It was important
for Washington to learn the plans, for

MAJOR ANDRE AND MISS SNEYD

Because he could not marry the
girl he loved, a London merchants
son came to America in early revolu-
tionary days, to win such fame as sol.
der as might induce his sweetheart's
parents to change their minds about
the match.
The man was John Andre. When he
was only IS he had met Miss Honora
Sneyd, pretty girl whose family was
somewhat better than his own He
and Miss Sneyd fell in love at first
sight. Andre asked her to be his
wife. She accepted. Then came the
first and great obstacle to their happi-
ness. The young lady's parents did
not care to have their daughter marry
a tradesman's son. They positively
forbade Honora to think further of
Andre. Tears, prayers and arguments
proved useless. The Sneyds were oh.
durate. The engagement was broken.
Andre was set to work in his IA
theirs counting house in London. But
the young man speedily decided that
business life was not only too tame
for him, but that it brought him no
nearer to marrying Miss Sneyd. To
.. drown his grief as

hope OF making
for himself a name that even the
Sneyds must respect, Andre secured
commission in the British army and

Their parting was infinitely sad, yet
hopeful, for both believed the future
held great things for the young SOL
der. When she said good-by to Andre,
Miss Sneyd hung around his neck
miniature portrait of herself. He
vowed to wear it as long as he lived.
Then the weeping girl went back
home to wait for her lovers return.
while he sailed westward to begin
his task of winning fame TO" her.
Almost as soon as he arrived in
America Andre began to attract atten-
ton in the British army circles. Hand
some, graceful, full of fun, clever and
with a peculiarly gentle charm of
manner, he won all hearts. He was
the center Of the social life at every
garrison he visited; and score of
girls are said to have fallen head
over heels in love with him. Though
he was chivalrous and attentive to
every woman, he remained true to
Miss Sneyd. He wrote exquisite po-
etry addressed to an unnamed wom-
an. The poems were applauded, but
only his closest friends knew they
~ere dedicated to the girl who was
waiting for him iu England.

the countless thousands who hourly

~ few pause, nowadays, to look at 1t
Or to note the faded wreaths that &C.
casionally adorn it's base. Still fewer
know of the sad, sweet love story
which alternately frightened and
darkened Hale's short life and urged
him to deeds of reckless daring. Here
Is the story:
Hale was Connecticut boy. His
mother died while he was very young.
His father, Deacon Richard Hale, then
married widow who had one daugh-
ter, Alice, a pretty and talented girl,
who was about Nathan's own age. The
p, c:., two young people
were brought up
in the same house.
1t was but natural that they should
fall in love with each other 1t was
equally natural that parental opposi-
ton should strengthen their love. Dea-
con Hale had great ambitions for Ma
than. The lad was tall, handsome and
unusually clever in study and debate.
1t was arranged that he should pre-
pare for the ministry. After he left
Yale he taught school at East Had.
dam, Conn, in order to raise funds for
his course in the theological SEM
mary.
His father was resolved that so
promising a career should not be in
jured by early marriage to a penniless
girl, even when that girl happened
to be the deacon'S own lovable step
daughter, Alice. So the old gentle
man set about his self-appointed, dis
agreeable task of making such mar
rage impossible. In East Haddam
dWelt an elderly merchant, Elijah Rip
ley, who also wished to marry Alice
Deacon Hale commanded his STEP
daughter to accept Ripley's proposal.
Girls in those days obeyed their par
ents. TO a pair of dutiful, obedient
children like Nathan and Alice, the
deacon's word was law. So Alice,
though she loved Nathan devotedly,
married Ripley and made the old man
a good wife, even though her heart
was with the gallant youth she had
been forced to give up. Nathan, in
despair, threw aside his plans of be-
coming clergyman and sought for
getfulness by throwing in his for
tunes with the revolution. The bat

He won quick advancement in the
army. Brave as he was handsome he
rose rapidly to the rank of major AMI
adjutant general. While serving in
this capacity, in the autumn of 1880,
when only 20 years old, he was chosen
by Sir Henry Clinton, the British com.
mander, as agent to arrange with Ben
edict Arnold for the yielding of West
Point to the English. Arnold, angry
at injustices he had received from
congress, proposed to sell to the en-
envy the West Point stronghold, of
which he was the commandant. Andre
was sent, under flag of truce, to make
the arrangements. The British ship
on which he went up the Hudson
river to visit Arnold was later driven
away, and when the bargain was com.
pleted, Andre was forced to return to
