my sword belt, letting it, sword and
all, sink silently into the river l
must cross to the opposite bank some
how, and would have to dispense with
the weapon. Inch By inch, my fingers
gripping the narrow slat to which |
chung, l worked slowly toward the
stern Of the barge, making not SO
much as ripple in the water, and
keeping we'll hidden below the bulge
Of the side. The voices above droned
along in conversation, Of which |
caught few words.
"Who was he? You mean the lad
they're after down yonder? Oh, 1 mind
now, you came up later after we'd
started the chase. Holy Mother, l
don't know much myself, now / come
to think of it. He looked like a Brit
isi,er. what l saw of him, an lie was
ffgnl with a Captain of Rangers
Grant waethe name; maybe you know
the man?-behind one Of the STANDS"
They'll never get him." returned
the other solemnly.
Because it's my notion he swum
for It. l was closest down the bank,
an somethin' hit the water"
"But them's the Jerseys over yon'
der; if he was spy he'd be heGdin'
the other way"
"It's little he'd think Of the way
with the gang Of us yelpin' at his
heels. Besides, there's plenty of his
kind over in those Jerseys who'd take
good care of the likes of him."
"But there's guard stationed
across yonder."
"Pish, corporal's squad, just about
opposite at the ferry landin'. an o
company of Yagers down at Glouces-
ter. There's plenty room between for
bold lad to find free passage"
The two fell silent, staring out over
the water. They had set me thinking,
however, and this knowledge Of where
the British piclets were stationed was
exactly the information / most re-
quired. l had no desire TO cross the
Delaware, yet apparently in that di'
rection lay the only remaining avenue
Of escape.
At the lower end Of the float man.
aged to silently remove my boots, and
then waited, listening to the move
ments of the men above. / must have
chung there ten minutes, expecting
every moment the party securing the
shore would return, yet not daring tc
make the venture with those fellows
sitting there, and silently gazing Out
across the water. At last heard them
get to their feet, and tramp about Oh
the fat deck of the barge, the low
murmur of their voices reaching me
although words were indistlnguishable
| could hope for no better time. Fill
ingzmy lungs with air, / sank below

rising, struck boldly out into the full
sweep Of the current.

know not what aroused me, but it
wes already daylight, q CLEAN OF sun
through the windows turning the fes-
tooned cobwebs into golden tapestry.
One side of the box in which lay
had been broken out, and could see
the full length of the shop, which APP
peared Uttered from end to end with
all manner of implements of hus-
bandry, and woodworking and black
smiths tools. All this | perceived
with my first glance, but 1t was the
distant sound of voice which as in
stantly held my attention. At first l
could not locate the speaker, nor COM
prehend the peculiar slngsong OF the
utterance. But as | lifted my head,
listening intently, knew the man to
be beyond the wooden partition at my
right, and that he was praying fer
Yently. Somehow heartened by this
discovery | crept out from the bed of
papers, and stole silently forward to
the narrow door which apparently led
into this second apartment. The voice
never ceased in its monotonous ap-
peal, and l ventured to lift the latch,
and take cautious glance through the
slight opening.
It was a blacksmith shop Of fair
size, fully equipped with all the tools
Of the trade. The man was facing me,
but with eyes closed, and upiifted, as
his lips poured forth the fervent words
of prayer. l was not religious man
in those days, yet the faith Of my
mother was not forgotten, and there
was something Of sincerity about that
solitary kneeling figure ! could not but
respect The words uttered, the deep
resonant voice, and above all, the ex'
preston Of that upturned face, held
me silent, motioniess. He was man
Of short, sturdy limb, but great bulk
massive chest, and immense shoulders
evidencing remarkable strength. What
was this man, this praying black
smith? A patriot surely, from his
