visit Galway twice every week In or

nor write she never forgot any OF the
messages with which the family had
intrusted her. But once, however, her
memory failed her. She had been or
dered by one of the family to buy a
yard of some color of satin. The &C.
customed word slipped her mind. But
she was not to be baffled by that little
word. She walked into a dry goods

ant, and Frances felt as If mighty load was
at once removed from her heart.
Dunwoodie folded her in his arms, saluted
the mild aunt again and again. and shook Mr.
Wharton and the divine repeatedly by the
hands. In the midst of the felicitaton, tap
was heard at the door. It was opened, and
Mason appeared.

"and, with your permission, will lead on; as
you are SO well mounteA you can Overtake US
Yes, yes my good fellow; march," cried
Dunwoodie, gladly Selling an excuse to linger
Il will reach you at the first halt"
The subaltern retired to execute these or
ders; he was followed by Mr. Wharton and
the divine.
The noise of a horseman was heard ap-
preaching the house, and Dunwoodie was yet
taking leave Of his bride and her aunt when
an officer was shown into the room by his own
man.
The gentleman wore the dress of an abide
camp, and the major at once knew him to be
one o fthe military family Of Washington.
Major Dunwoodie," he said, after bowling
to the ladies' the commander>in-chief has
directed me to give you these orders"
He executed his mission, and pleading duty,
took his leave Immediately.

expected turn in the whole affair but under
stand it; Harper has got my letter. and already
we feel his influence"

Frances, springing to his side.

"Sir-Upon the receipt Of this, you will con-
centrate your squadron, so as to be in front Of
a covering party which the enemy has sent up
in front Of his foragers, by ten o'clock to-mort
row, on the heights Of Croton, where you will
find body Of foot to support you. The escape
Of the English spy has been reported to me,
but his arrest is unimportant compared with

Thank Cod" cried Dunwoodie, my hands
are washed of Henry's recapture; l can now
move to my duty with honor"
And with prudence, too. dear Peyton," said
Frances, with face as pale as death; "remem-
Der, Dunwoodie, you leave behind you new
claims on your life"
The youth dwelt on her lovely but pallid
features with rapture; and, as he folded her
to his heart, exclaimed:
For your sake, / will, lovely Innocent"
Frances sobbed a moment on his bosom, and
he tore himself from her presence.

CHAPTER XIV.

FdlJen Tree Of the Revolution
While the scenes and events that we have
recorded we're occurring, Captain Lawton led
his small party, by slow and wary marches,
from the Four Corners to the front OF a body
OF the enemy, where he so successfully ma
noeuvred, for a short time, as completely to
elude all their efforts to entrap him, and yet
so disguised his own force as to excite the
constant apprehension Of an attack from the
Americans. This forbearing policy, on the side
of the partisan, was owing to positive orders
received from his commander. When Dun
woodie left his detachment the enemy were
known to be slowly advancing, and he directed
Lawton to hover around them until his own
return, and the arrival of body of foot, might
enable him to intercept their retreat.
The trooper discharged his duty to the let
ter, but with no little of the impotence that
made part OF his character when restrained
from the attack
The junction between Lawton and his auxil-
iaries was made at midnight, and an immediate
consultation was held between him and the
leader of the foot-soldiers. After listening to
the statements of the partisan, who rather
despised the prowess of his enemy, the COM
mandant of the party determined to attack
the British, the moment daylight enabled him
to reconnoitre their position, without waiting
for the aid of Dunwoodie and his horse. So
soon as this decision made, Lawton re-
tired from the building where the consultation
was held, and rejOined his own small command.
A long roll of the drums from the hill oc.
cupied by the British announced that they
we're on the alert, and a corresponding signal

mountains, and possessed of sinews Injured to
toll Birch led the way, with the heightened
strides that were peculiar to the man and his
profession; his pack alone wanting to fin
ish the appearance of his ordinary business
air At times when they approached one of
those little posts held by the American troops,
with which the Highlands abounded, he would
take a circuit to avoid the sentinels, and plunge
fearlessly into a thicket, or ascend a rugged
hill that to the eye seemed impossible. But
the peddler was familiar with every turn in
their difficult route, knew where the ravines
might be penetrated, or where the streams
were fordable. In one or two instances, Henry
thought that their further progress was abso-
lutely at an end but the ingenuity, or knOwl-
edge, Of his guide conquered every difficulty.
After walking at a great rate for three hours,
they suddenly diverged from the road which
inclined to the east, and held their course .di-
rectly across the hills, in a due south direc-
ton This movement was made the pedder

invited his comrade to partake of the coarse
fare it contained.

You said yourself, that two hours deten-

here, of what use will be the advantage that
we may have already obtained?"
THE time is passed, and Major Dunwoodie
thinks little of following two men, when hun
dreds are waiting for him on the banks of the
river"
After completing their repast the peddler
resumed his journey
1t was not long before they gained the banks
Of the Hudson. After searching for a short
time under the shore, the peddler discovered
a skif that appeared to be an old acquaintance;
and, entering it with his companion, he landed

CHAPTER XVI.

Harpey Birch Meets His ErceHency"
The commencement of the following year
was passed, on the part of the Americans, in
making great preparations, in conjunction with
their allies, to bring the war to a close. In the
South, Greene and Rawdon made bloody cam
paign, that was highly honorable to the troops
of the latter but which, by terminating entirely
to the advantage of the former, proved him to
be the better general of the two.
At length, as Autumn approached, every in
dication given that the final moment had
arrived
The French forces drew near to the royal
lines passing through the neutral ground and
threatened an attack in the direction of Kings
Bridge while large bodies of Americans were
acting in concert. BY lowering around the
British posts, and drawing nigh in the Jerseys,
they seemed to threaten the royal forces from
that quarter also The preparations partook
of the nature of both siege and a storm. But
Sir Henry Clinton, in the possession of inter
cepted letters from Washington, rested securely
within his lines, and cautiously dsregarded the
solicitations of CORVALLIS for succor.
1t was at the close of a stormy day in the
month of September, that large assemblage of
officers was collected near the door of a build
ing that was situated in the heart of the Ameri-
can troops, who held the Jerseys. The age the
dress and the dignity of department of most
of these warriors indicated them to be of high
rank; but to one in particular paid defer
ence and obedience that announced him to be
of the highest. His dress was plain, but it bore
the usual military distinctions of command.
He was mounted a noble animal of deep
bay; and group of young men, in gayer attire,
evidently awaited his pleasure, and did his bid
ding. Many hat was lifted as its owner ad-
dressed this officer; and when he spoke, pro-
found attention, exceeding the respect of mere
professional etiquette, was exhibited on every
Countenance.
At length the general raised his own hat and
bowed gravely to all around him. The salute
was returned, and the party dispersed. leaving
the officer without a single attendant, except
his body servants and one aid-de-camp. Dis
mounting he stepped back few PAGES, and f.
a moment viewed the condition of his hors7
with the eye of one who well understood the
animal, and then, casting brief but expressive
glance at his aid he retired into the building,
followed by that gentleman.
On entering an apartment that was appar-
entity fitted for his reception he took seat and
continued for a long time in a thoughtful atti-
tude like one in the habit of communing much
with himself During this silence the aid-de-
camp stood in expectation of his orders. At
length the general raised his eyes and spoke
in those low. placid tones that seemed natural
to him

was Immediately heard from the Americans
The bugle of the Virginians struck up its mar
tial tones and in few moments both the
hills, the one held by the royal troops and the
other by their enemies, we're alive with armed
men. Day had begun to dawn, and prepare
tions we're making by both parties to give and
to receive the attack In numbers the Amer
leans had greatly the advantage, but in disci
pine and equipment the superiority en-
tirely with their enemies. The arrangements
for the battle were brief. and by the time the
sun had risen the militia moved forward
Lawton witnessed these operations in ST.
lence nor did he open his mouth until the
field was covered with parties of the flying
Americans. Then, indeed he seemed stung
with the disgrace thus heaped upon the arms
of his country. Squirting Roanoke along the
side Of the hill, he called to the fugitives in
all the strength of his powerful voice.
Come on, then my brave friends!" shouted
the trooper, turning his horses head toward
the British line, one flank of which was very
near him; come on, and hold your fire until
it will scorch their eyebrows"
The men sprang forward and followed his
example, neither giving nor receiving a fire
until they had come within a very short dis
lance of the enemy. An English sergeant, who
had been concealed by a rock enraged with
the audacity of the officer who thus dared
their arms stepped from behind his cover and
advancing within a few yards of the trooper
levelled his musket.
