HOusman's Army.

There is preserved in the annals of
Staten Island an instance of extraor
binary self possession and prompt de-
cision on the part of a young man
named Housman. The residents of
the island. during its occupancy by
the British in Revolutionary days,
were prohibited from keeping firearms
of any description in their houses. A
few of them. nevertheless, had sue
ceeded in concealing guns, and among
these was young Housman.
One morning after the fall of light
snow the young man was out with his
gun in quest of rabbits, when a sud-
den turn in the path brought him
in sight of two soldiers who were
probably out, like himself, after game.
The two parties saw each other
simultaneously, and each stopped.
Housman thought of the loss of his
gun, and possibly of his life, but the
sense of danger was but stimulus
to his GOODNESS and daring. He sud
denly turned his back on the soldiers,
and stepping around the turn, waved
his hand as if beckoning to some one.
Hurry up!' he shouted. Here are
two Britishers. Three of you go
round to the right, three to the left,
and the rest follow me. Hurry up.

The Britishers, hearing these words.
and fearing there might be small
army to surround them, turned and
fed. They even threw away their
arms to facilitate their fight.
What report they made when they
reached their quarters is not known.
but a detachment was at once sent
out to capture the young man and
his army. Their surprise and morti-
f1cation may be imagined when at the
turn in the path they could find but
the tracks of a single individual.

The man was making straight for
Diane, He came toward their table
with step as direct as the tread OF
fate. 1t seemed to him that the sight
less eyes, through their closed lids,
fastened upon hers. His breath
stopped short. The frail figure
reached them, drew out that chair
so long empty.
The girl sat chillingly still. Then
she leaned across the table and
touched the man.
Diane" 1t was a ghost voice, ten
tative, tender.
The girls lip caught in her teeth.
A tiny spot of blood trickled down and
splashed the white of her skin.

voice said softly. 'Je savais que tu

A low moan came through her lips.

across, laid both her hands on his
with cry that was his name. and her
shaking body slumped against the
table.
Martin Stone drew his hypnotized
gaze from the pair as if just to look
at them were desecration of sacred
altar.

| hemmed in by those who had followed
the mans entrance. Stone had not
realized the place was so crowded.
! He felt all of a heap and absurdly
conspicuous. But for the moment he
had not the strength to stir an inch.
It's the man, After all these
years" The exclamation from some
one in the group held a flavor dis
tinctly of the Middle West.
So-others had heard her story.
But not one had held it as intimately
close as he. Realization of what this
reunion would mean swept down upon
him. 1t was an avalanche.
He turned, annihilated by the force
of it, to the girl for whom he had
cea ased to exist. She was staring now
at those closed lids as if to make them
lift: murmuring the love words that,
each night, had been breathed to
emptiness. The mans face held a
soft, suffusing smile.
"All the wears" came in husky

He got up-her hands were still
within his-drew her to her feet.
Then he moved round the table and
they were lost in each others arms.

midst of havoc, felt a tug at his coat

A thrill of approaching exaltation
came with the words. 1t was a role
absolutely new to Martin Stone, and
he fancied himself in it, Rescuer,

He could picture the chance trans

into the flesh. She half rose from her

So amazed was he that a moment
elapsed before his eyes followed slowly
after her staring ones. At first he
saw nothing startling. A pale young
man was making his way from table
to table, not quite sure of himself

On the Saturday night. he watched
the lift and fall of the canvas
curtain as if life itself skunk behind it.
The intervening nights she had paid
no attention to him. Even without
Pere Goureau's informing smile, her
abstraction would have kept him from
her.
But tonight as the curtain swung
aside with a revealing. abrupt jerk
and Diane strode across the room
she seemed suddenly vitalized,
humanized.
She sat down, leaning her elbows
on the table without pulling off her

her.
After that he embarked on neces.
