He was getting signals at night from

Returning to the tavern, Colin left
word at the desk that If man came
from Philadelphia asking for General
Washington, they were to ring his bell.
He might have slept through the night

out: "There are friends Of yours be-

"What are their names?"
"They are grand ladies, sir. They
did not give me their Names"

of the Anxiety Of Amos and the
Return of Mrs. Bowlby. r.
II That day General Washington had
received news of the approaching at
tack. Aware Of the shattered courage
of his army he was deeply concerned.
Arriving at headquarters near mid
night Colin found the General and his
staff discussing plans. Next day the
whole camp was in serious counte-
nance. Every man to his Job and no
time for pleasantries Again the blis-
tering heat of hell was to fall upon
these home-loving country boys. Who
would be living and who dead at the
end Of it? Only Washington himself
looked calm and confident. His face
was help to the men.
In the midst of his tasks Colin
thought often of Nancy and the things
she had said to him. What power
in her eyes and face! Pity, sympathy,
beauty, sex had conspired to over
throw him. The girl was sincere but
it was the sincerity Of selhshness-
frank and ruthless selfshness that
sought to crush her friend and make
him false. He would talk with her
no more.
Next day he and Amos Farnsworth
rode northward bound for New Ro-
chelle and the Bronx river wilderness
with dispatches.

now full of uncertainty. He had some
curiosity as to that change of spirit
which had won the sympathy of the
Lady Washington.
He found Nancy at a table in re-
mote corner of the almost deserted
dining room. She was becomingly
dressed in black, and white lace. Her

and ran to meet him with an exclama-
