6 DRESSED IN WHITE. Tw*s quite clearly I remember. On « Sunday In. September, Sunday night; And In church we were together. She—a night of summer weather- Dressed In white. I'd no book, by some omission, And the space of our division Lesser grew; lesser grew since she perceiving Plight, half hers would be relieving. Nearer drew. Then If fingers strayed together Round the soft morocco leather In that song; If In singing I leant nearer To her cheek, to read the clearer. Was It wrong? Was It wrong? The cheek was blushing' Next to mine, and mine was flushing Next her sighs. If I thrilled was It amazing At the unexpected raising Of her eyes? And I always shall remember 'Twas a morning In December, Frosty, bright; That, In church again together. ©he was rightly—'spite the weather- Dressed in white! —Leonard Merrick, in Harlem Life. By CHAUNCY C. HOTCHKISS [Copyright, 1897, by D. Appleton & Co. All rights reserved.] CHAPTER XIII. —CONTINUED. Ames pushed roe toward the opening, and I squeezed through, feeling solid boards un der my feet, and being greeted by such a strong smell of old hay that I might have been in the heart of au ancient rick. And this proved to be the case, for I soon heard the story of this hole of refuge. It had been made inside the barn and beneath the mow, «nd was now scantily covered with the lit tle hay the British had a habit of leaving farmers to take the curse from their whole sale robbery. There was no entrance to this concealed den save the loosened board, and 411 crackß and openings being stuffed with wisps, from the outside this part of the building seemed bursting from fullness. 'Twas the finest masking of a retreat that could be imagined, and here one might lie and escape hanging (if he ventured not abroad), though there would be starvation to grapple with, and no small clanger of smothering, for the heat was vile, the air heavy, and there was no means of ventila tion. My companion followed me into this in •elosure, quickly readjusting the board, and, a« though familiar with the place, struck his «teeJ and got a light in a pierced tin lantern, which lie set on the end of an upturned log serving as a table, on the top of which lay a •crap of paper. Thi9 he seized, and, bending low to the glimmer, read the contents while I took in the details of the queer apartment. The rough boards of the room were barren of everything save a rifle hanging on a nail, and the wisps of hay that penetrated each crevice from the mow without. A heap of small arms lay in one corner; in another was a sleeping bunk with straw at the foot of which was a closely strapped bundle filled, n» I afterward found, with provisions to be used in the extremity of being driven to this rereat for a protracted stay. It was a hiding place pure and simple, and not one to be de fended save by secrecy, for a brand touched to any part of the structure would reduce it to ashes in less than an hour. " 'Tis all right!" said Ames, raising his head as I finished my brief survey. "We are not bound to this hole yet. We may go to the house and sleep like modern Chris tians for once more at least. Come!" Extinguishing the light, he loosened the board, and we passed out, the night air com ing to the lungs like a. cooling balm after the heat and closeness of the contracted den. "There is little danger for the next few hours," he whispered as we made a straight line for the house."The redcoats were here this noon and searched the place, but my— the boy was then in the barn. They will hardly try here again until they have beaten up other quarters. "Tis a sorry outlook, Thorndyke! Have you not in your head a way off this island? Think hard, man! We aiust both think hard, and then take chances, however desperate. You are will ing that we pull together?" he concluded in terrogatively. In his earnestness he dropped his assumed manner of speech, and there was an appeal la Ins voice that made me think it was not for himself he was most anxious. However, I could give him no comfort, only saying thut I hail small head for thought until I could clear my bruins with sleep, but that if taken, though it were barren of gain, I would send some of the enemy ahead of us to announce our coming. Then I laid my band in his and swore I would stand by hi m, and his brother, too, if need be (though «Uch swearing seemed useless in the face of matters), telling him I would be but an un grateful brute to desert him after he had lost his chance for help at the tavern by giving his hand in my behalf. We had halted on our way, and in the darkness we came to the agreement each to •tand by the other so long as a chance to help remained. 'Twas a compact hurriedly thought of and hurriedly made, but there, under the stars dimly showing overhead, was completed a bond that failed not. Twas made through necessity and became strengthened by love. Not conceived in an ixeess of happiness nor backed by the exuberance or fictitious generosity of strong drink, not even expected to extend beyond the present period of danger, it held through life like an invisible chain. There was no delay in getting into the house. Though every window I could see was closed by solid wooden shutters, the back door stood wide for entry, and I soon found myself in what was probably the kitchen. It was pitch black within, but Ames knew his whereabouts, and I, with my hand on his shoulder, followed him through this room into a hall and up a fight of stairs. At the top a man's voice broke out with: "Who's there?" "Seven!" spoke Ames in return. "Five!" was the answer. "Well enough! And I have a friend," Mid my companion. And without more parley he went ahead and up more stairs, opening a trap or hatch, and landing in the garret at last, where he struck a light. The room was undivided, and took in the entire ground plan of the house. So large via it that the single candle failed to clear gloom from the corners, gad made th* great rafters spanning the space overhead deeply mysterious. Two immense chim neys pierced the floor and went out at the roof, but beyond these the sweep of level was unbroken save by a large bed with cur tains, a table, and several chairs. A half moon window at either gable end was let high into the wall. A long ladder leading to one of them showed it had been used as a post of observation, but now both were care fully covered to prevent any interior light reaching abroad. Here, then, were comfortable quarters at last. It was none too cool, but there was plenty of air, and could I but get a bite and a few hours' sleep I felt something might come of it, especially as there was a safe hiding place near at hand which could be used at a pinch, and such a possible refuge would prove a mighty factor in preventing demoralization. I was looking at the trapped hole in the floor through which we had come when I heard a footstep on the stairs and a man ap peared from below, lie rose into sight as though there was no end to him, so tall and gaunt was he, and as he came to the light I saw that he possessed but one eye, and that set in a face which had the length and ex pression of that of a horse. With barely a glance at me, he took my companion aside, where they held a whispered conference. Suddenly turning, he held out to me an arm like a Hail and grasped my hand. Then with a smile which disclosed a magnificent set of teeth, and like magic transfigured the ex pression of his face, he said in the purest English and with a voice of wonderful modulation: "Donald Thorndyke, you are heartily wel come to the poor house of I'eter Hurt. I trust it will hold you in safety until a way of escape is made clear. Your deed is known to me. I honor you for your gen erosity, bravery, and patriotism, l'ardon me," he interrupted as I was about to speak, "I know your present needs, and will supply them at once; then we will talk." And with this he abruptly turned and went below. He had barely disappeared when a strange thing happened. I was facing the bed when 1 heard an exclamation come from behind the curtains, which were drawn close, and at the same time they parted, discovering a youth clad in a long Quaker cloak which de scended halfway down his shapely calves. For the moment 1 was startled, but at once suraiised that he was tlio brother of ni.f companion.. Ames sprang forward to meet him, the boy greeting him with a siniTe and a hand clasp, but. pushing past my guide, he advanced to where I stood by the table, and with a rippling laugh which there was no mistaking astonished me L:* saying: "Donald Thorndyke here! Has'Ue, too, escaped? Heaven is indeed g<A*J! I save no need of counterfeiting dumbness with him. Beverly, by what fortune—" The flow of words was cut short here, for Ames let out a cry just as I cleared my mud dled brain and recognized the girl, Gertrude King, disguised as a Quaker. With tlie cloak gathered about her as though to con ceal her altered apparel, and slightly bent as in shrinking modesty, she stood with eyes and lips apart, while my late guide grasped my hand and said: "By the Lord! but I struck better than I knew. Why, man, 'twas you who gave me the first hand in help, and that at the fire, but I have never seen your face closely till now. I knew you as the savior of my sister, but had no guess I was in your debt for my self." "We're quits, as you said, but 'tis a small debt. She is your sister, then!" 1 ex claimed, in my bewilderment referring to the matter which had been bothering me. "How is it I am thus hoodwinked? Have we not just sworn —" "Xay, friend," he broke in entreating!}-. "I but guessed at you at first. This dumb ness has been a mask from the start. 'Twas that and your pass which got Gertrude through the lower lines. I but continued it with you, fearing you would shirk the risk of having a girl share what adventure we might have in store. You gave me to un derstand that much. Be not offended." "Nay, Beverly, I could have told you l>et ter!" said the girL "C'apt. Thorndyke, you must pardon my appearance, nor think I am unsexed inwardly as outwardly when 1 say that I know you will not refuse your help to me; for, as you once risked your life for mine, you will not leave us and put it be yond my power to do my share in making good the debt. The same feeling which bade you defy Clinton will surely not allow you to leave me while I am still unfortunate! And I can help. 1 will not faint nor lose my head and cry out if danger comes. I can shoot; ay, and will, if need be!" She was a striking object as she stood there in the light of the single candle. As she spoke she stepped forward, the cloak slipping from her hands and falling about her in graceful folds. Not a whit less of a beauty was she for all that her hair was shorn for more than hail its length and stained almost black, for in her male at tire there was no mistaking the grace of her sox, which in her accentuated. In her pres ent rig she seemed less tall than in her proper costume, but it gave freedom to her movements, and there were case and supple ness in even the small gesture of extending her arms toward me as if to add weight to her words. From top to toe there was witchery about her, and I little wondered at Scammell's infatuation. How on earth she had passed the lines without having been suspected was a puzzle, unless, indeed, she too, like her brother, was skilled in act ing a part. "Mistress Gertrude," I replied, bending my head, whereat she attempted a courtesy, which, to say the least, was graceful despite the lack of sweeping drapery, "you need not think me generous when 1 tell you that the oath which binds me to help your broth er cuius me to help you also, and to the last extremity. These may be but empty words; danger lies in every quarter, nor can I probe a way through. Madam, do not count on the success of my best efforts, but for the sake of all know them to be my best. And now for your story; but, first, how is it that brother and sister bear different names?" "We are but half brother and sister," said Ames. "Ne'er mind genealogy; let's get be low and eat, then for sleep, then for what God wills. It can bode no evil to us that we three are thus met, but what a find far Clinton could he but clutch us!" CHAPTER XIV, THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. Whether our meeting would prove for good or evil fortune the future alone would tell, but certain it was there was nothing remarkable in the fact of our coming to gether. 'Twas but natural that the girl had flown straight from Clinton to where she might expect to find her brother, and, as the report of his escape had been true, she there found him. Her freedom from arrest had been due to the same cause or causes that had allowed me to retain my own liberty on that memorable Sabbath; namely, tin? lack of military precaution at headquarters on that day and the suddenness and unlooked for nature of the episode. Once under the roof of a Qualcer relative, she and her broth er had been quickly disguised and passed through the lines as father and SOD. finding CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER ai, 1899. refuge in the house on the shores of Turtle bay, und they had thus far eluded capture by retreating by day to the concealed quar ters before ueseribed. From there Ames had proceeded to Stryker (another link in the chain of secret patriots), hoping through him to find the means of getting to the Jersey shore or above the lines at Kingsbridge; but partly through the fact that all points of possible escape were doubly guarded, and partly through the adventure caused by my going to the Dove, he could obtain no help from the innkeeper. However, as he had further protected his sister by starting Lowney's companion, the trooper, on a false scent to the northward, and had ended the days of the tory blackleg himself, his errand eouid hardly be considered fruitless. The only remarkable point in the se quence of events that had brought us all to gether was that I should have met "Hex" in the nick of time and had him made known to me. There was nothing in his present appear ance by which I could have connected him with the scorched youth I had encountered at the fire. He was now clean shaved, and, with the grime of smoke washed from his face, his singed hair replaced by a white wig, and his entire change of costume, he was an aged Quaker if one peered not to* closely at the lines which had been laid upon his features. The details of their escape anil a recital of my own adventures were given as we re galed ourselves with a hasty meal in a room beneath the attic. Though solid shutters were over the windows, they were further protected from any gleam of light straying outward by a hanging of sheets nailed to the casing. This closeness made the heat stilling, but physical discomfort was a small matter, and was almost forgotten as I listened in turn to the news from the city as it was given by our host. Like a band of plotting freebooters in masquerade we must have appeared as we sat at the small table with its single candle, talking in whispers, the girl and her broth er in their incongruous characters making the strong points of the picture, while the tall, long-featured man, whose melancholy cast was instantly corrected by a smile, sat opposite ma, a more than sufficient foil to my proportions. My host never laughed, but His smile was a passport to favor, making his natural ex pression sour by contrast or as though he was acting a part when his face_was in re pose. Of the little band of those who re mained in New York, and were under handed though active in their devotion to the cause, I saw not one but who was an adept in his ability to mimic or portray a character totally at variance with the one Mistress Gertrude King. God had given him. Peter Burt was not the least of these, for, though he looked like a graveyard, he was the reverse by nature. This worthy was a typesetter in the office of the notorious Kivington, the official print er to the king, and was the right-hand man to that blatant tory. His position and his undoubted education made his real senti ments unsuspected, and, while by day he damned the rebels and seemed to lack com mon compassion for those who by chance fell prisoners or were even suspected of treason, by night he was doing all in his power to get information to Washington or giving a helping hand to refugees or those in distress. Late in life I heard that Kiving ton himself was in full accord with Burt, and used his post to the confusion of the king's interest, but I know naught of the truth of it. The matter that roused my greatest inter est was the news (or lack of it) of Scammell. As a garner of information Hurt was in the thick of it, and 1 was mightily mystified when told that Scammell had recovered suf ficiently to move from his quarters at the King's Arms and had disappeared, leaving no trace behind, though the search made for him was but a trille less keen than that made for us. "Has he started his lure for me?" 1 asked myself, but dropped the subject as I listened to the explanation Of his move. "It comes about through a remark made by Mistress Gertrude," said Burt, indicat ing the young lady, who laughed lightly at the story she had undoubtedly already heard. "It is possible you may recollect her twitting Clinton with a reference to some officer who had informed her about her brother. Well, Clinton took this to mean Scammell, and Scammell hearing of it, pos sibly in a garbled recital, and fearing ar rest, has given color to the matter by put ting himself bejond the reach of investiga t.on. He is a sharp fellow, sir, and knows his broken head will excuse him when the trouble blows over. Sir Henry is not fond of making enemies among the line and file of his army, though he cares little for the staff. As for you, C'apt. Thorndyke, it. were well if you quickly devised some means of putting yourself into a position of greater security than I can offer you. There is a large reward for you, and if you were taken your trial would be a mockery. Our friend Ames has but little better chance should he be caught, and as for his sister, though her life might not be sacrificed, she would be un done —Mrs. Badely would see to that. Fail ure to lind you thus far means redoubled ef forts in the future. They know you must be ttill on Manhattan. What can he done?" "Nothing to-night," I replied, the black ness of our prospects opening like an abyss before me. "Let me sleep; in my present condition I am useless." "Riglit!" he exclaimed. "You are safe for to-night. 1 will not leave here till past daylight, and will return at dusk. Now, Miss Iling, up to your quarters. Gentlemen, you will rest here. If I give the alarm, get to the barn. Look to yourselves by day, and be wary, for were you discovered here 1 say, as did Stryker, my days of usefulness to the cause would be over." So saying, he blew out the light and opened the windows, while I threw myself. dressed as I was, or.to the b*i, and, <lr»w rs A BURLY FIGHTER. ing in great breaths of the damp night air, soon slept as only bleep the tired and Gen .
