worried. He missed Mrs. Grouse and
he really couldn't feel that it was
right that she should be imprisoned.
He tried to feel that 1t was all for the

Early American Maps.

There is q craze for old maps just
now, and many limitations Of them
are put out. The craze is q pure
affection, In that the collectors OF
them merely want something new to
collect. Postage stamps, or eight.
eenth century snuff boxes, or any
thing would do. Few OF those that
collect old maps care about the maps
themselves. There Is q STANCE fasci-
nation, though, in old maps, especially
of America, because, when this contf-
nent was newly discovered, science
and fancy contended in the minds OF
the early photographers. Some maps
show a great ocean passage cutting
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
broad Hudson river was at first
thought to be one end Of this passage.
The fact that the map-makers drew
such a mythical passage did not mean
that they knew it or believed 1t to
exist; it meant that they wished 1t did.
Now what do you know about that?

chiefly Of ancient ferns.

The material can be cloth cut or

JERSEY Retreat Continues.

BRUNSWICK, \. j., November
20. 1776.-Once more our Army has
escaped the enemy. 1t is now IN
Brunswick, separated by the Rarl-
tan River from Gen. CORVALLIS and
his redcoats and HessianS. Hardly
had our rear guard left Newark yes
terday when the British began to
enter that town. Had they not tar
ried in Newark, they might easily
and that would very likely have been
the end of that column.
Realizing the danger. Gen. Wash
ington decided that If he must sus-
tain another loss, he would at least
insure that that loss would be as
small as possible. He calculated
that the British would be less likely
Ia capture two columns on the march
than TO capture one. If his force
We're divided, one part of it might
reach Brunswick while the enemy
was pursuing the other part. So he
sent one column through Elizabeth
Town and Woodbridge, and another
through Springfield. Scotch Plains
and Quibbletown New Market).
Fortunately. both columns arrived
here without molestation from their
pursuers. Then, after all had crossed
the river, our men broke down q part
OF the bridge thus checking the pur-
suit once more, as they had done
when fleeing from Hackensack to
Newark.
This campaign" 1t is clear, has
become nothing at all but q game of
hare and hounds, and we are the
hare. In this game one of our great
est handicaps gives us our one great
advantage. We can take the road
st short notice in light marching
order-painfully light, in fact. We
have almost no camp baggage. no eX-
ira clothing, hardly enough firearms
to go around. But the hounds that
pursue us have all the impedimenta of
a fully equipped army, plus much
pIunder which the IIessians are at
taching to their personal fortunes at
the expense of the inhabitants.
Therefore give US few minutes start
