and Margaret moncrfeue Wntch wal published in last weeks issue of The Patriot, Mrs. van Renssalaer from x,ho,e book "The Social Ladder" !" published by Henry Holt q Company the story is taken, told of eonditions in New York at the time that The Monerieffe made her appearance. In thi. section she tells of how General Putnam met the amazing English girl spy.
 Putnam chose as his aide-de-camp the ingratiating Burr, selected the house standing on the ground now occupied by Broadway as his head quarters, and summoned Mrs. Put nam and their daughters, Belle and Matte, to leave their humble Con- nectieut farmhouse and join him there. Meanwhile Margaret Moncrieffe held her last conference with Governor Tryon on the Duchess of Gordon and departed.
 A west wind came pouring over the brown wall of the Palisades, with the hamlet of Paulus Hoeck (now Jersey Cityl huddled at their feet, and hur- ried an army of whitecaps across the harbor toward the green Long Island shore where the scattered dwellings of the village of Brooklyn stood. Waves, crashing against the sea wall, flung drops against the windows of Broad way behind which Putnam and Burr sat, deep in their work. Other waves shouldered the long boat that came lurehing in from the Duchess of Gordon," seaman in her bow waving a white flag of truce. It was May 3f, 1776.
 The officer in the boats sternsheets hailed the corporal of the guard at the Whitehall water gate, announc- ing that he bore letter from Major Moncrieffe of His Majesty's forces to General Putnam.
 The superscription itself caused Putnam to expand. 1t styled him Major General Israel Putnam, com manding in New York" Usually British officers made it a point to for get that the Continentals had such things as military titles. The contents of the missiye filled the farmer-soldier with warm glow of standardization. Had he been writing to the King him. self. Major Moncrieffe could not have been more considerate and abjectly polite.
 Asks Suceor For Daughter
 The British officer implored Major General Putnam to extend succor and hospitality to his only daughter, Mar garet. sixteen years old, motherless little thing, then staying with strang- CTS in Elizabethport, New Jersey. The child was alone, delicate, home sick for New York. It would bring comfort to a British officers heart if he were to know that she was safe and comfortable under the roof of some godfearing respectable man like Major General Putnam. If the Major General would send an escort to bring Major Moncrieffe's mother less child into the city, Major Mon crieffe would be his eternal and re- spectful debtor.
 The boat still rocked at the landing stage while Putnam, beaming, serawl- ed his reply. He would be delight ed to suecor Major Moncrieffe's child. He would send his own aide-de-camp that very day to Elizabethport to get her and would give her shelter and protection under his own roof where Mrs. Putnam and he would make 1t
