A HERO OF THE
REVOLUTION.
Interesting Sketch By Rev. DR.. Latham
Previously Unpublished


| by their wives during the darkness OF
the night. Whenever a band of To-
ries entered a house the first thing
that they asked, was. where is the
man of the house?" whatever his
name was. The Whig women were as
plucky as the men. When they were
present and the Tories would come and
threaten to kill them if they did moi
tell where their husbands were hid
they were told that if they did kill
them, Sumter would hang the last one
Of them.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick always charged heI
children, when she left the house, to
tell anyone who might visit them dur
ing her absence inquiring for their
father, that he had gone to mill. The
children knew not, but this was the
fact, but the Tories understood it.
Some time during the disorganized
condition of the Whig forces, Robert
Kilpatric learned that his children
were all down with the smallpox. He
left his hiding place and ventured to
go to his house that he might look up
on the faces Of his little ones, perhaps
for the last time. Stealthily he enter
ed his own humble dwelling, and
found his three little girls covered with
the loathsome disease. In the house
there was not a mouthful of bread and
the only edible they had was the head
Of his milch COW the Tories had killed
and carried off a short time before,
leaving the head to the afflicted fam
lily. The heart of the strong man was
filled with grief and in awful silence
he sat down and rested his head upon
his hands.
He had not entered his house un-
seen; nor was he permitted to indulge
in the distressing scene which lay be-
fore his eyes. The Tories saw him
when he entered, and like so many fu-
ries rushed upon him. The entreaties
Of his wife, the screams of his sick

Testing His love.-A dentist re-
ceived a call the other morning from
couple whom he soon had reason to
believe were lovers. The girl had an
aching TOOTH and as they entered the
operating room the young man said:
Now, dear, the worst Is over; just
take a seat and 1t will be out in a
minute"
"Oh," she gasped; Il can't!"
But it really won't hurt you, you
know"
But I am afraid it Will"
1T can't I'd have one pulled out
in a minute II 1t ached."
Il don't believe It,"
"Oh, yes, would"
Has she got a bad tooth?" asked
the dentist.
YES" answered the young man; 1T
has ached for a week, and I've just
succeeded in getting her down here
Come, dear, have it out"
"Oh, 1 can't"
But, you must.
II can't stand the pain
Pain? Now, then, I'll have one
pulled out just to show you that 1t
doesn't hurt" He took seat, leaned
back, opened his mouth, and the den
tist seemed to be selecting tooth to
correspond with his forceps, when the
girl protested. Hold on; the test is
sufficient. He has proved his devo-
ton. Get up, Harry. and I'll have Ii
pulled out" She took the chair, had
the tooth drawn without a groan, and
as she went out she was saying to the
young man: Now, l can believe you
when you declare that you would die
for me-" And yet every tooth In his
head was false.

ries shot at him, but he escaped un-
touched.
The Tories never put their hands
upon Robert Kilpatric again. He lived
to see his country free and the names
of the Tories who attempted to hang
him covered with lasting disgrace
Three times he had TIE rope around
his neck to be hanged, yet he died In
his own bed and we think at the ad-
vanced age of lis years. When the
war of 1872 broke out he sent two OF
his sons to help in driving the British
from the country. A plain slab marks
his last resting place in Hopewell
graveyard, in Chester county, South
Carolina.
