than ever.
1t Is just as Col. Lambert anu
Gen. Wolfe are coming to the boys
aid that a miracle occurs.
Into the Jail stalks George Es-
mond Warrington. the beloved
brother who was supposed TO have
been killed two years before. He
quickly discharges Harry's indebt-
Iedness and the two go away to-
gether happy as children.
But what a revolution the ap-
pearance OF this elder brother
makes in sOciety's attitude toward
poor Harry! He Is no longer the
favored child OF fortune. Debts are
nOthing-everybod has those. Nor
is the Jail a disgrace. Many a darl-
ing of fashion has passed a night
there. But to be a younger son! So
ciety turns up its nose. According

who now becomes the idol while
Harry is trust into the background

right had the wretch to masquerade
as the heir to the Esmond estates.

George was alive.
/ Had there not been the deepest
and most enduring affection be-
tween the twins such a state of af-
fairs might perhaps have created a
breach between them. As II is they
pay no heed to society's cruel
tongue.

casts his lot with the army, going
with the English TO France and
later with Gen. Wolfe against Can
ada. In both these campaigns he
wins distinction which reinstates
i'm with MS former trends.
But he has had enough OF London.
His mother is growing old and he
will go to her.
He arrives just as the Colonies
are on the brink Of revolution.
Madam Esmond IS still a stout
( royallst; but Harry. a child Of the
I younger generation, is a Nirginian,
an American. He joins Gen. Wash
ington, the friend Of his youth, and
serves under him through the war
I for independence.

Warrington, dressed in a coat OF
scarlet, is serving the king in the
command Of Gen. Clinton.
! The two factions clash. but the
Warringtons contrive to meet and
exchange greetings. Their politics
may differ. but their hearts are un-
changed one toward the other.
