while the others slept she listened to
hear the movement of the British
troops, and she heard them noiseless-
ly march through the quiet streets.
In q few days they returned, and oh.
how anxious Lydia was to know what
had transpired during their absence.
But could ask no questions. The next
evening after their return the adjutant
general came in and asked her to
walk up to his room as he wished to
ask her some questions. Poor Lydia's
knees trembled as she followed him
| into the room and he locked the door
behind him.
"Sit down." he said. The little lady
was sure that she was either suspected
or betrayed but she held her head
high and did as she was told. Then
he asked if any of the family had
been up the last night he and the
other officer had met in her home.
She truthfully told him that they had
all retired at eight o'clock. The off,
Ger shook his head in surprise. He
seemed mystified. Il know you were

lydia Darrah listened in silence. and
in silence she offered up a prayer OF
Thanksgiving that she had succeeded
in her mission and that through her
her countrymen had been prepared

summons. But sleep was not for
Lydia Darrah that night. She lay
awake in the dark trying to work out
way that she might warn Wash
ington of this surprise attack. and
thus save the lives of thousands of
her countrymen. What could she do?
She was afraid to confide in her hus-
band: she was afraid to breathe the
news of what she had heard aloud. for
fear the British would discover that
she had listened to their plans.
Finally she hit upon scheme. The
next morning she told her family that
she was in need of -four and informed
her husband that she was going to the
storehouse> fQzf some. Her first visit
was to the headquarters Of General
Howe. She told him that she was in
need Of -four for her family and he
readily gave her a pass through the
British lines With this precious pa
per tucked away in her bosom she
hurried through the lines to the flour
mill. There she left her bag and has
tened on towards the American lines.
On the way she encountered an
American officer with his men-all on
| the lookout for news. He knew her
and asked where she was going. Il
am looking for my son." she said. "He
is an officer in the American Army.
Will you not walk way with me-"
| This he agreed to do and ordered his
| troops to keep behind them. but in full
sight. Then to him Lydia Darrah dis
closed her secret first. making him
solemnly promise never to betray her
| individuality as her life might be at
stake at the hands OF the British. That
night Lydia returned home carrying
her bag of -four and nobody thought
| to ask her any questions of her days

ALittle Story of Washington

M URING the Revolutionary War
Washington and his troops were
stationed near the City Of Phiia-
~ delphia. In, that city there was
at the time young English boy. who
had come to America to study medi-
cine under the guidance of the noted
DR.. Rush. Now, although this lad
was accepting the hospitality of the
Americans his heart was true to his
native land and he took no pains to
hide his lack Of sympathy with the
Colonists' cause. One day the lad
and several of his fellow students
heard that the United States Army.
then on the outskirts Of the city, was
preparing to build barricade along
the banks of the Delaware River, to
prevent sudden water attack from
the British. and an appeal had been
issued asking the aid Of all men in
this stupendous task.
Let US go out to observe the frolic, "
remarked the English lad, soothing at
the efforts Of the brave Americans;
and so they tramped out into the coun-
try. where the building was in opera
ton. There were the old men and
the young boys. who were not able to
fight for their country, busily engaged
in piling stone upon stone and log
upon log in an attempt to build a wall
along the Delaware River front. The
English boy and his companions seat
ed themselves upon fence and pro-
ceeded to look on while the others
worked.
A noble looking man, who had been
working in his shirt sleeves-now d.
recting. now helping the other work.
ers. approached the group upon the
fence and addressed the boys: "Why
don't you fellows lend a hand in thi.
work. come and put your shoulder to
the fence" he said.
Il am an Englishman." answered

tie Quaker lady. She and her hus-
band lived in little house on
Second street in the city OF Phil
ddelphia. directly opposite the house
in which General Howe had his head
quarters when the British Army held
possession of the city. One Of the
officers on Howe's staff decided that
he would like to have one Of the
rooms in the Darrah house for his
private conferences, and so he ar
ranged with the Quaker lady to have
possession of the back room of her
home for his own business.
One evening the enemy officer made
a strange request. Il shall come in

he said. land l do not wish to be

| The next evening when the officer
and his colleagues had locked them
selves in her back room. she took oil
her shoes and ,crept to the door.
Noiselessly she placed her ear to the
key hole. What she heard caused the
color to leave her face and her breath
TO come short. The British officer was
reading an order for the combined
British Army to march out and attack
General Washington unexpectedly, two
days later. All in a tremble Of ex.
element Lydia Darrah returned TO her
own room and when a few minutes
later the British officer knocked al
her door demanding that he be let out
of the house. she pretended to be
