IN Dedham, Mass, there to-
day stands a house in which
II O real heroine Of the RevO-
luton lived. She did not load
and fire a cannon, she did not
give her life for her country; but
she served it with a loving sacri-

helped gain for her land its In
dependence.
For Mrs. Mary Draper, who
lived on prosperous farm with
her husband and children, when
she first heard the call to arms
not only urged her husband to
respond at once, but with her
own hands strapped the KNAPP
sack on her eixteen-year-old son
and babe him depart to join the
colors.
Her daughter was distracted to
to war, but to her remonstrances

though her heart was breaking:

Immediately this splendid WON
an started her work. There was
much grain in the barn and their
dairy was one of the best In the
colony.
So all night, Mrs. Draper. her
daughter and servant worked
baking great quantities Of bread.
In the morning. on the roadside.
Mrs. Draper arranged shelves
where her big loaves of bread ana
cheeses were placed. Cider In
bucketfuls was placed there.
