that / tell Answering IN my
blanket. For l had been military
fool enough to tell the Baroness
Leasing our intentions. And if
she had concluded to do us a
mischief and had persuaded this
sentry to desert and carry our
intentions to the enemy, it was
a frightful thing for me and
worse for her!
1T RAINED heavily for a while,
then ceased with a sharp clap
of thunder.
Dawn broke through a drip
ping fog. Our wet drums made
but a buzzing roar at reveille.
After that for a while there was
scarce any stir in camp and
little noise except the crackle
and sputter of damp camp fires.
The British lion had been bad
ly clawed by the Yankee cata-
mount and now lay quietly lick
ing it's wounds.
Somewhere in that white wet
gloom not far away was hidden
the mysterious American army.
Was it crouching to spring?
There came not a sound from
their camp. All was shrouded
in ominous silence.
AS the sun rose the bitter
chill in the forest became more
endurable; the fog lifted, dis
solved; sunshine beat down,
pleasantly at first, then heavily,
hotly, distressing the men who
labored with pick and shovel to
fortify our lines.
I dawdled about headquarters

orders to rejoin my Baron and

a truly terrifying coincidence,
if nothing worse. And / feared
she might have had a hand in
it.
General Burgoyne, elegantly
gloved, polished, curled and
powdered, came out of his quar-
tiers in gay good humor. He said
a word or two to US all, neg
Letting nobody; even laying his
hand lightly on my shoulder as
he chatted with us.
"Thank you for remaining,
Seadrift," said he pleasantly.
"Petersham has a letter for
your good Baron. And on your
way" he added, "pray wait
upon the Baroness Riedesel; she
may have some message for her
amiable husband"
When I arrived at Madame
de Riedesel's quarters a mile in
the rear l got off my horse and,
seeing Nora and Rocket and the
children playing among the
pine needles where they were
constructing a leafy bower of
witch hopple and hazel, went to
them to salute and caress these
little German wanderers.
Somebody-old Rocket prob
ably-had set up a rustic seat
under the great forest trees,
and here was seated my lady
love, wearing a charming sum-
mer dress, busy with a basket
of wool. and her needles click

mother. Mrs. Evans did not 40.
cept Isabel's invitations; she did
not include Isabel and Rodney in
her own.
But she did invite Peter and
Gloria to almost everything she
gave. And in December she en-
tertained at one of the most i'm
portant formal dinners Of the
season in their honor.
THE SNUB DIRECT
Isabel was furious when she
read about it in the papers. Its
the snub direct" she told Rodney,
"it's about the worst thing that
could happen. I wouldn't give a
darn, only every one pays so much
attention to what Mrs. Evans does
and whom she invites to her home.
But entertaining for my own sis
ter and not including us. What
will people think?"
THAT we have the seven years
itch, maybe. But does it matter?"
Does it matter?" Isabel was
furious. How can you be so
Stupid!" For she was thinking
that it mattered terribly. She was
cherishing a dream these days.
She not only wanted to be a great
parsonage; she wanted to be a
power, a social power, in the city.
She wanted people to look to
her lists to decide who was eligible
and who was not. She wanted,
eventually, to be the undisputed
social arbiter that Mrs. Evans now
was. And she did not want to
confide her successes to her home.
She would conquer New York,
Palm Beach, Paris. Her name
would be one of the biggest in the
country. There wouldn't be any
one who hadn't heard of 1t.
Isabel also was waging war with
Tommy. Hes got to give up
prizefighting," she told Gloria and
Mrs. Lee. II just can't endure
having a brother who makes a liv-
ing like that. I've tried to explain
it away as a young mans idea Of
something different and amusing
to do.
But now he's challenging the
light-heavyweight champion and
they're setting date for the fight
at Madison Square Garden. He'll
get world publicity and will, too.
Just precisely the kind 7 don't
want and I won't have it!
I won't; I won't!"
Mrs. Lee, however, would do
nothing to stop Tommy as much
as she wanted him to quit the
ring and said so. It wasn't the
publicity that Mrs. Lee objected to
nor was it Tommy's reverting in
fluence on Isabel's ambitions; she
was afraid for Tommy.
HITTING Low
And because Isabel was getting
nowhere with her mother, she be-
came violently angry. 'Tt's bad
enough that I have to live down.
the fact that I'm the daughter of
carpenter without having a prize.
fighting brother muddling things.
It's bad enough having you and
Gloria living here in this North
Section and every one knowing
you're my mother and sister!" she
screamed out.

 Is Signed
By GEORGE KIRKSEY

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Jan. 29.-(UP)-Bin Terry arrives today for his first tete-tete with the Gentlemen of the Press" since his magazine arti- cle, Terrible Terry" unloaded both barrels at the press box.
 Terry is returning under cover, and every effort to find out even what train he's riding proved un- successful.
 The best available information is that he left his Memphis home Thursday night at g p. m. and will be here some time this morning.
 On the Hop
 Every newspaper in Manhattan and Brooklyn-10 in all-and the three press associations have assign ed their baseball writers to inter- view Terry. It will be a tough spot for tactless Terry who'll face 8 bar rage of questions concerning just what he meant by those pot shots at the inmates of the press box.
 Terry'S mission is to attend the International league meeting as a representative of the Giants Jersey City farm club. He also will con-. fer with Horace Stoneham, presi- dent of the Giants, on several mat ters, one an invitation from Homo lulu to train in Hawaii in 1899.
 While renewal of Terry's battle with the press impends the Brook lyn Dodgers made grand slam to- ward strengthening their internal affairs by signing Van Lingle Mungo, their temperamental ace pitcher, to his 1888 contract at sal- ary reported to be $15,00O or $16000.

Liths, Oly1pics Face Sturdy Week-End Foes
GENTS, HILLIES
 CAPTURE CLOSE HILL CONTESTS
Baldwin Preps in PlayOff of Tie Game-BOard
 Meeting Monday?

Earl "Skippy" Goodwin kept the Gents of the Hill in the running for the first round championship of the Washington Park league by leading them to a 28-17 victory over the Welles, in a nip-and-tuck con- test last night. Raymond Hillies completed their first round schedule by taking the Baldwin Props into camp, 35-3l, and insuring them selves of at least playof for the first round title.
 Strong Finish
 Margin of II points, which the Gents won last night, was garner ed in the final five minutes of play, when the Gents went to town as the score stood 18-17. The whistle at the end of the first quarter found the Gents in the lead by a 4-3 count, and atthe half they were out in front 16-9. During the third period, however, the Gents were held to one hoop, while the WelleS brought the score up to 18-17. The Welles were held scorelesS in the final period.
 HillieS Coast
 Although they scored 10 points in the final period, the Baldwin Props failed to close the gap by which the Hillies led, and so lost, 35-31. The Hillies were ahead by IT points go- ing into the final period, 29-12.
 In order to straighten out the standing of the first round, the Gents must play-of tie game with the Baldwin Props. There is possi- bility that the advisory broad will meet Monday night and call for the playoh on Wednesday. The sec ond round will open on Monday night.

Springfield At New Haven For Sunday Ice Test

New Haven, Jan. 29-The Spring field Indians, leading the New Ha- ven Eagles by lone point in the standings, come to the Elm City, ac- companied by 1000 Springfield fans Sunday night to renew one of the bitterest feuds in minor league hockey at the Arena.
 Keyed up to a fighting pitch for the game with the Indians, the Eagles went through the toughest workout of the year yesterday. At one point the session threatened to break into open warfare.
 Dogged by hard luck all season, the Eagles have but one more western trip remaining and are counting on the dozen remaining home games to edge out the Indians for playoff position. One man went to the sick bay this week, Tank Boyd, and Wifi Hoch, recently operated on for a torn cartilage, ras released from the hospital. Hoch will be back in the lineup in two weeks, but Boyd is out indefl- nitely with the grippe.
 Coach Billy Coutu has revised his lineup to have at least one former Springfield player on the ice against the Indians all the time on Sum- day. Obs Heximer, released by the Indians, will team up with Gus Mancuso and George Brown. Gene Carrigan, former Sprignf1eld cen- ter, will work with Hemmerling and Asmundsen; and Paul Ray mond will take the ice with Squee Allen and Jack.
 On the other hand, Lloyd Jack son, former Eagles captain and Max Kaminski, center ice star, will lead the Indians in their attempt to hand defeat on their former mates.
 The game will start at 8:30.
