she 10 aware Of the engagement.
= thst 10 what you mean. II has bsen
sadersteod since our childhood
oh ! see; . family arransenest
Well. Grant. this - all very interest
Ing. but l am unable to conceive what
| have to DO ~itA n. I met Mistress
Mortimer by sccideat, end then was
fortunate enough to dance with her
once. 'Tis scarcely likely We shall
ever meet 1kain- The daughter 81 .
colonel Of Queens Rangers 10 not apt
to come again into contact with sa
OGhcer Of the Maryland Line. I doat
know why you should single me out
In this matter. I aoat even know the
iadys brother"
Her brother?"
Yes, the family renegade; the twin
bsother on Lees STAFF"
! could not perceive the expression
a the mans face, but he WAS q long
while answering.
"Oh. yss. She toll yos sbout him ?"
at was mentioned. Would I know
the boy from any resemblance to his
sistsrf"
Yves, at least I should suppose
20. You must have become very inti-
mate for her to have told you that.
vos see TIT n . family secret"
Nothing for Tories to boast over,
I should imagine. However, 1t came
up naturally enough while We spoke of
the sunerinGs a the American army
during the winter II - . Sd thing
the way this war has divided FAMILIES.
Has Mistress Claire any Colonial sen
timents?"
How the devil DO I know! She
would not be likely to air them before
uoti WHAT iooi tiith w
played on her last night, but she's on
the right side just the same"
Il think so, too"
His manner was 30 disagreeable
that l instantly determined to have an
end. ! had more important work be-
fore me than quarreling with this fel-
low, sod somehow, his claimed inti-
macy with Mistress Mortimer grated
upon me strangely.
IF that is all you requested an in
terview for, Captain Grant," l said
coldly, 'I1l trouble you to return to
your men"
Irritated that 7 had even condescend-
ed to question him, | turned back up
the road to where the men were yet
busy about the wagons, spoke q few
words TO Duval, he explaining to me
the best route toward the river cross
ing at Burlington, and then swung in
to the saddle and sent the black for
ward to the crest of the ridge.
