the Delaware before the British
grasped the Yankee trick. Then it
was too late. The windows of Phil
adelphia were filled with ladies wav-
ing handkerchiefs and crying bravOes
when the tattered Continentals, their
clothes thick with dust but hats
plumed with sprigs of green, marched
through amid their torn battle flags
and rumbling cannon. Behind fol-
lowed the French in "gay white uni
forms faced with green" and martial
music throbbed the air. Down the
Chesapeake they went in transports
and were concentrated at Williams
burg before the close of September.
CORVALLIS had erected works against
the boy, for he knew nothing of Wash
ington and Count de Grasse, nor Mad
Anthony and General Nelson, who
were south of the James to prevent
escape into North Carolina.
ITO your goodness" the boy wrote
to Washington, II am owning the most
beautiful prospect may ever behold"
Then came De Grasse, who drove
off the British fleet, and the mouth
of the net was closed.
Cornwallis heard the cannon and
sent Clinton to appeal for help, but
the answer was Washington himself
at the head of his army. And then
the joyous march.
"'Tis our first campaign cried
the French gayly, and the COntinen-
tails joyfully answered:
"'Tis our last"
At Williamsburg the allies gathered,
and with Washington's army came
Colonel Dale, now a general, and
young Capt. Harry Dale, who had
brought news from Philadelphia that
was of great interest to Erskine Dale.
In that town Dane Grey had been
close intimate of Andre, and that in
timacy had been the cause Of much
speculation since. He had told Dave
of his mother and Early Morn, and
Dave had told him gravely that he
must go get them after the campaign
was over and bring them to the fort
in Kentucky. If Early Morn still re-
fused to come, then he must bring
his mother, and he reckoned grimly
that no mouth would open in a word
that could offend her. Erskine also
told of Red Oaks and Dane Grey, but
Dave must tell nothing to the Dales-
not yet, if ever.
They marched next morning at day
break. At sunset of the second day
they bivOuacked within two miles Of
Yorktown and the siege began. The
allied line was a crescent, with each
tip resting on the water-Lafayette
commanding the Americans on the
right, the French on the left under
Rochambeau. De Grasse, with his
fleet, was in the bay to cut off ap-
proach by water. Washington him
self put the match to the first gun,
and the mutual cannonade of three
or four days began. The scene was
sublime and stupendous." Il ...
Two British men-of-war lying in the
river were struck with hot shot and
set on fire, and the result was full Of

"Ephraim," said Erskine quickly,
"gO tell Mr.. Grey that one of his men
wants to see him right away at the
sundial. When he starts down the
path you run around the hedge and
be on hand in the bushes"
"Yassuh," and the boy showed his
teeth in a cOmprehending smile. 1t
was not long before he saw Grey's
tall figure easily emerge from the hall
door and stop full in the light. He
saw Ephraim slip around the corner
and Grey move to the end of the
porch, doubtless in answer to the
black boys whispered summons. For
a moment the two figures were mo-
tiOnless and then Erskine began to
tingle acutely from head to foot. Grey
came swiftly down the great path,
which was radiant with moonlight.
AS Grey neared the dial Erskine
moved toward him, keeping in a dark
shadow, but Grey saw him and called
in low tone but sharply:
swell, what is it," With two PAGES
more Erskine stepped out into the
moonlight with his cooked pistol at
Grey's breast.
'"This," he said quietly. MAKE no
nOise-and don't move" Grey was
startled, but he caught his control in

words good and 1 shall accordingly

again. "Ephraim I' The boy stepped

''Ephraim % said Erskine, "slip into

Erskine addressed Grey. II know

Grey. You have been a spy as well

spell over my cousin and trying to
carry her away in the absence of her

''Not as much as 1 appreciate your
