CHAPTER XIII.
Between Love and Duty.


It was already growing dusk when
rode into our lines at Valley Forge.
A brief interview with Colonel Hamil.
ton revealed his appreciation Of my
work, and that my hastily made notes
Of the Philadelphia defenses had been
received twenty.four hours earlier,
They had been delivered at headquar-
ters by an officer of Lees staff; no,
not 'boyish.lookipg fellow, but a
black-bearded captain whose name had
been forgotten. All Hamilton could
remember was that the notes had been
originally brought in by an Indian
scout. Eager to discover Eric Morti-
mer, I asked weeks release from
duty, but there was so much sickness
in the camp, that this request was re-
fused, and | was ordered to my regi.
ment.
Busy days and nights Of fatigue fol-

hawk every movement of Sir Henry
Clinton In Philadelphia, convinced by
every report received that he was
about to evacuate the city, bent all
his energies toward placing his little
! army in fit condition for battle. Some
RECRUITS were received, the neighbor
ing militia were drawn upon, and men
were taken from the hospitals, and
put back into the ranks as soon as
strong enough to bear arms. Inspired

rs LATEST MAN ON EARTH
Scattering Man Discovers Him In
Person Of Chief Of tho Solomon
islands.

In al probability the LATEST man on
earth has been discovered by sea
.aring men who had occasion to stop
al the Solomon Islands OF the Eas,
Indies not long ago. Those islands arc
inhabited by tribes OF black men
known TO the sailors as Kanakas.
The ruler over the islands Of Chois
enc and Caristoval il one OF these
KanaEas. known as Chief Soaoa. The
kanakas are almost invariably short
and very heavily built. but Chief Sonoa
Is the shortest and latest one OF the
bunch. weighing In the neighborhood
o! "6j pounds. He Ia not only the
blackeyt. latest and LATEST. but he
has more wives vhua any other chief
in that neighborhood.
One OF tho sailors who visited these
islands said that his majesty would
lie in the sands OF the beach while his
tavorite wife would sit beside him and
smoke. She would draw n mouth full
of the smoke into her lungs. The chic.
would 'cren his mouth. the favorite
would blow the smoke into a and he
would tnhale 1t into his lungs. after
which he would lei IL pass out his
nose. Time after time would the wife
chosen for this Job blow the smoke
into her chiefs mouth. and time after
time he would take II into his lungs ia
let II pass out Of his nose. The TO
bacco used Wa the strongest tina,
could be had. and with II was yolled
some kind Of leaf that would bring on
sleep. A truly luxurious being Is this
