A good temperance woman was led, in a very peculiar way, to revise he'r somewhat harsh Judgment of the poor devil who cannot resist his cups and she is now the more charitable. 6he writes: "For many yer.rs I was a great suf ferer from asthma. Finally my health got so poor that I found I could not lis down, but walked the floor whilst oth ers slept. I got so nervous I could not rest anywhere. "Specialists told me I must give up Ike use of coffee—the main thing that J always thought ga*o me some relief. I consulted our family physician, and tie, being a coffee flend himself, told mo to pay no attention to their advice. Coffee had such a charm for me that in passing a restaurant and getting a Whiff of the fragrance I could not resist ia cup. I felt very lenient towards the drunkard who could not pass the sa loon. Friends often urged me to try Dostum, but I turned a deaf ear, say ing: 'That may do for people to whom coffee is harmful, but not for me—cof fee and I will never part.' "At last, however, I bought a pack age of Postum, although I was sure I could not drink it. I prepared it as directed, and served it for breakfast. (Well, bitter as I was against it, I must eay that never before had I tasted a more delicious cup of coffeel From that day to this (more than two years) 3 have never bad a desire for the old coffee. My health soon returned; the asthma disappeared, I began to sleep veil and in a short time I gained 20 pounds In weight "One day I handed my jfliyslcian the tablets ho had prescribed for ime, tell ing him I had no use for them. He etayed for dinner. When I passed him his coffee cup he remarned: 'I am glad to see you were sensible enough not to let yourself be persuaded that coffee was harmful. This is the best cup of coffee I ever drank,' he continued; 'the trouble is so few people know how to make good coffee.' When he got his second cup I told him he was drinking 'Postum. He was Incredulous, hut I convinced him, and now he uses noth ing but Postum In his home and hail greatly improved in health." Name *lven by Postum Co., Battle Creek aiich.

It was in Philadelphia that Martin met Beccy Sharp, a demure lit tle Quaker lass, who returned Martin's ardent New Amsterdam affection, even though she could not bring herself to approve fully of the uniform he wore when that uniform meant the shed ding of men's blood. So long as Lord Howe left the Con tinental troops in possession of Phila delphia Martin cared not whether the war waged elsewhere or not. So long as he was free togo and come between Beccy's house ami the camp he was entirely satisfied wiih his lot, nor did he mind the little Itclures he received from her on the evils of war and the virtues of brotherly icve. He was con tent to be a soldier under such condi tions, even though his being one Eerved no better purpose than the giv ing of Beccy something to lecture him about, for it was a great pleasure to hear Beccy talk. But Lord Howe was not content that the Continental army should enjoy the comforts of city life. Philadelphia of fered opportunities as a winter resort which he coveted, and Washington'? tattered army not strong enough to successfully resist, they were forced to march away to the desolate camp beside the Schuylkill at Valley Forge. Deep down in his heart Martin re belled at such a necessity, but there was nothing to do but go, and go he did. At any rate, thought he, it is not so bad for Valley Forge is but 14 miles from Philadelphia, and that is not much of a walk. He did not remem ber the double line ot sentries between himself and Beccy, or if he did he snapped his fingers <ll them. A week after camp was made at Val ley Forge Martin asked permission to visit Philadelphia, and was promptly refused. "To be gobbled up by the British, eh!" cried his capt-iiu. "No, they have enough of our soldiers now, and you will stay here." Protestations of his ability togo back and forth through the British lines without being detected were of no avail, and he stayed, but only to ask again the second week. Again he was refused, but week after week the request was repeated. In February there came a messenger from Philadelphia lnio the camp, and be brought with him a dainty feminine note for Martin. It said many tilings, to be sure, but it said more pointedly than anything else that Martin should find a way to see Beccy Sharp if he still loved her, and that Marin pro posed to do with or without permis sion, as might be necessary. At the first favorable opportunity he repeated his request for permission to visit Philadelphia, promising in return in formation as to the enemy stationed there. "And be hung for a spy," said the captain. "No, here jou are and here If" | SSls/TO) u.-t // s M m lis ■ sscb ■ 112 COMMANDED THEM TO SURRENDER. you will stay. The general needs no information about Lord Howe and his roysterera in Philadelphia that you could get." But Beccy's little note tucked safely away in the pocket of his blouse kept his heart in a tumult. Fighting for one's country was all right, he thought, but one's country should not demand too much. There could not possibly be any harm in his going to the city for a day or two, and so leave his share of the scanty store cf provisions for bis hungry comrades, and he went. It was early in the forenoon when Martin turned into the street where Beccy lived, and rapped at her door. He had slipped awaj from the camp long before it was light, and he in tended being back again that evening. If he should do that it was quite pos sible that lie might escape detection, for he was on special duty and did not have to answer roll calls regularly. But love laughs at good intentions, Just as love laugh 3 at a good many other things, and Beccy's sweet little lectjves and ner bright eyes were too CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1905 entrancing to get away from easily. Besides Beccy promised that if he would but wait nutil morning she would consent to a therished plan of hie and they would be married. Such a promise was too much for even Mar tin's sense of duty to withstand. He had been afraid that Beccy would be- ! come enamored of eome of the Bri- I ish In the city, and l<ncw well enough 1 that her parents wculd uot strongly oppose such a match, and Ma-tin stayed. it was well to wares noon when the j simple marriage ceremony over, and A DEMURS LITTLE QUAKER LAS 3 RETURNED HIS AFFECTION. Beccy a blushing brice, Martin started to leave Philadelphia and work his way through the Hmleh and American lines again. Well mougli he knew that his absence hart been discovered before that time, and well enough he knew that a period in the guard-house was in store for h:'m. But he had Beccy safe and what cared ho for nuch trities as tho guard-house. Martin had slipped by the outer line of British sentries palely, and though he did not now expect to encounter any trouble with the British, he was too good a soldier not to keep a sharp eye for possible trouble. When he left camp he brought h's gun away with him and secreted it in a hollow log before he reached tho British lines. It was a relief to find the gun still in the log when ho returned for It, and with it over his shoulder he felt more secure as he trudged rampward through timber. He wr.s within two miles of the Con tinental lines when he detected the figures of men mov.ng through the timber some distance ahead of aim. Secreting himself in the brush he awaited developments and was re warded by seeing twe British soldiers approaching directly towards him, one of whom carried an enormous turkey. He had faced greater odds than two to one 011 many a battlefield, and hesitated not a moment when they were within a few l'eet of him, and Witt' his gun at the "ready," commanded them to surrender. "Now," said Marr.n, when fi'j had the two soldiers at his mercy, "1 will make a bargain with you. To-morrow is our general's birthday and he needs the very bird you carry for a dinner party. In fact, it was to secure it that I have been in the-e woods. !f you will deliver the bird to me you can return to your well provided kitchens in the city. If you will not you can about face and mar.-h before mo into camp." It was more than a fair bargain that Martin offered and tre British did not hesitate in taking advantage of 11 With many promises of 110 attempt at retaliation they placed the bird in the Eno%v and marched away toward the city, Martin watching them until ihey were well out of sight in the timber. Then, taking tho turkey under his arm, he again set out for the Continental camp, which he soon reached. "Who comes there." hailed the sen- I try. "A friend with a b.'jthday dinner for the general." replied Martin; but the turkey would not serve as a counter- | sign and the officer or the guard was ! called. To him Martin insisted upon | being taken to the general's headquar- \ ters that he might present his prize in person. "A birthday dinner to Gen. Wash- j ington with the compliments of Beccy j Roherback and the Third New Vork I foot," said Martin, when ushered into i the presence of tho commanding ofli- j cer, "and with the hope that he will 1 invite Capt. Rosterhouse, of that regi- I ment, to eat a birthday dinner with him." Then Martin explained Beccy's con nection with the presentation and his own dereliction from duty, not for- j getting a description of Beccy's bright 1 eyes and rosy cbceiis. it is needless ! to say that Martin did not goto tho 1 guard-house, aud tl.&t tho wrath of 1 Capt. Rosterhouse was appeased wtieu he was invited to d'.:.e with the gen eral the next day, which, being Feb ruary 22, all the army knew was the* j great man's birthday. TO EUSY STORK—SHOO!
