CHAPTER XIV.
Jim Hears Of Agnes.

"HERE were something over 1000
soldiers in that stockade, and
within another Just like 1t
few miles away were about
1900 civil prisoners. These men had
not been soldiers, but they were of
military age.
When there was work which the re-
gents military authorities wished done
these men were led out, like felons or
Ike slaves, to perform the task under
the watch Of soldiers. The military
prisoners were forced to work in the
same way. but they ut least were hon-
ored with stronger guard.
1t was not strange. therefore, thnt
stories began to circulate about Amer
lean girls who. of their own choice,
derstood 1t better than the American
men themselves-those herdcd like
slaves within the stockadc. They had
failed completely to protect their wo-
men. They had failed so miserably
that many of the girls Mt least must

feriors in comparison with the con-
querors. Their instinct of admiration
toward the conquerors, their contempt
and distrust Of the conquered, was not
only as old as the Sabine women; 1t
was MS old as sex itself.
One Of these stories, circulated
among the prisoners in Jim's stockade,
concerned n girl from the west who,
from her description, most certainly
was Agnes. The report was that she
had become or was to become the wife
of one Of the enemy's captains.
Jim did not try to convince himself
that the girl, OF whom the prisoners
were talking that day, could not be
Agnes. II they had said that Beatrice
Logan had gone over to the conquerors
he would have had no basis OF believ.
ing; he would have refused the
thought; it could not be so.
There were no "lines" now which
were held by American forces; there
were only lines beyond which the re-
gent was not yet ready to extend the
regions Of occupation. The new Amer
ican army was mnsslng-so the mill
tary prisoners i'm the stockadc heard
in Ohio now and was preparing posi-
tons south from Snndusky or Toledo
to the Ohio river. but the prince was
not yet pushing his conquest that far.
The American armies invariably had
practiced in retreat the burning or de-
stroying Of all stores and supplies of
every sort which could not be rcmov-
cd and which possibly might aid the
invader. These tactics were delaying
the conqucror, who had planned to
live of the country by making him use
his ships to transport food and supplies
and arms and ammunition for the reg
iments already in America and pre-
venting him from bringing REINFORCE

them on and slaughtered more Of

which had not yet been in the fighting,
were trying to advance up this road
The fugitives flung themselves into
these battalions and bore them back
The battalions were unframed men.
All again was rout along the road
rout and panic.
Then the shrapnel no longer reached
them; it was breaking behind; but
still, like harried sheep, the fugitives
from the battle ran on. Jim Ashby,
with others who had been officers,
tried to block the road and turn the
men, but the rout had gone too far.
Officers Of the staff rode up and gave
their commands. It was no use to at.
tempt to drive those fugitives back to
battle. Retreat was ordered. The lines
would be formed from Lake Ontario
to Cayuga Lake, which could be con-
trolled so as to food the valley toward
ontario; south of Cayuga the line met
the mountains and ran along the
Susquehanna.
Jim Ashby halted for rest that night
with a dozen followers in an open
field. without fire and without food
and without shelter. The regiments

stood and sacrificed themselves to
cover the rout had been swept from

Of their people-Americans for whom
they had fought or at least tried to
fight. But the fugitives dared not 20

men were billeted all about; their
horses were in the barns under guard:
their motor patrols were in the yards;
they had guards on all the roads with
rifles and machine guns. The fugl-
tfves. most of them, had no weapons at

sent word that he has ordered four sub
marine boats to maneuver in Cape May
harbor from July to July 6, and they
will, therefore, participate In the Independ-
ence Day program and Will help lend
patriotic tinge.
Mrs j. Early Walsh came to Cape May
this week and opened a cottage on Decatur
street, where she will remain until October.
She will have with her her son, John L.
Walsh, Jr.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Shields. of Bryn
