Major Andre Just having taken place.

ries down the road.
PART II.
The tall, stout Dutch woman who
come to the door regarded our captain
with undisguised suspicion. Certainly,
her Miss Polly wouldn't sec a. man like
that. Yet she recognized, even ns she
came to this decision, the superiority
which clothes cannot hide; and she
of lied back to her mistress, who was
awaiting a visitor very differently nt
tlred. Miss Wilton came running out.
nnd then paused herself, looking at
him in utter amazement. Was this her
line, gallant captain?
"Well?" she said, nfter a moment.
"Ves, Polly," he answered, sorrily
enough. And at the sound of his voice
she knew there could be no mistake.
Rho turned red, and he bade her in his
urnis, forgetting he was In vagabond's
clothes, that he was lame and dirty
from that struggle In the tavern for
getting, in fact, all the niceties he had
calculated on.
At last, pulling herself away, Jliss
Vvilton explained charily to the servant,
who had not moved from her post of ob
servation: "It's Captain Button, 'Lisbeth."
"Kb?" said 'Llsbetli, but curtesying.
"Surh a terrible thing has happened,"
said Miss Wilton, drawing her captain
into the reception room. "A Major
Aidip was captured with the plans of
Aesl Point. General Arnold is a traitor,
and has run away. They say It was
told this morning at breakfast, at the
Arnolds, ai.d that Mis. Arnold is very,
ery 111. I am going over there to see
ho. Papa sayj, uu, I miu.tn't slny
lute, as It isn't safe. You were just in
tune, Will. But isn't the news terrible?
Ijld you hear of it on your way up?"
"Poor Andre!" Burton said. "Yes;
I heard."
Polly was staring nt him.
How, Will," said she, "do you happen
to be dressed as you are?"
"You don't think that, knowing of
Andre's arrest, I was afraid, and, so,
disguised myself?" said he, with a
smile.
"Why." she cried, "I never shall for
give you for even joking about such a
thir.g. What a. horrible lump you have
oer your temple. You are not 111?"
The voice which had begun with dig
nity ended in concern.
"Dear Polly, It's nothing. I'm all
right now. But I was thinking about
Brlggs. lie may be killed."
"You have boon robbed," she said.
"Yes, robbed. Sit down, dear; I will
tell you. I never was so chagrined In
iny life as at appearing hero as I am."
"Don't mind," she send. "Do go on,
pleaFO. I know you are wounded or
something."
"No, no," he said, kissing her. "Now
listen."
And, while she listened, rapt, he told
the whole story.
"I have lost my clothes my passes
everything," he went on; nnd then, sud
denly, brave fellow that he was, ho
burst Into laughter at the rldlueulous
LOOKING AT HIM IN
AMAZEMENT,
UTTER
appearance he must have presented.
And while Polly commiserated him
nnd he soberly remembered Brlggs,
and the major who had been taken as
a spy they did not even hear the
sharp clatter of hoofs on the roadway
before the house.
"Papa will send down and have all
those men punished," Polly was say
ing in her practical way. "We will
report this at headquarters at once."
At the moment 'Lisbeth threw back
the door.
"Mem, Mr. Ferguson."
A tall, thin, young man In a lieu
tenant's uniform stood In the doorway.
He was extremely embarrassed.
"I beg pardon," he said; "but Is Cap
tain Burton of the King's Hussars
here?"
"I am he," said Burton.
"I am sorry, but I am here to ar
rest you. It has been reported thnt you
were seen some hours ago talking with
General Arnold under suspicious cir
cumstances." "It Is a lie, sir," said the captain. "I
never saw General Arnold in my life."
"Don't be a fooi, Mr. Ferguson," said
Polly btnmplntr her foot, her eyes Hash
ing. "I am sorry, ma'am. But everybody
Is under suspicion today, 3lnce what

has happened. Why Is Captain Burton
dressed like that?"
"1 was robbed," said the Captain of
Hussars.
"Of course he was robbed," said Polly,
Indignantly, "You forget yourself,
lieutenant! I urn General Wlllon'a
daughter."
"lie's betrothed to you, I under.-stand,"
said the lieutenant, sullenly.
"What of that?" cried Polly.
But she added In u low, firm tone:
"Yen, It you will know, he Is, and, al
though nn Kngllsh olllcer, he U the
iluest gentleinun In the world, Mid you
you are beneath contempt."
"Dear Polly," Burton Interrupted
here; "Mr, Ferguson Is doing his duty.

Ayp if
"I'M SORRY, BUT I'M HERE TO ARREST YOU."
He has suspicions. My appearance
doesn't put me above them, I'll con
fess. Now, if you will leave us alone
for a moment. I will explain."
1 oily stood for a moment, looking at
the two men.
"As you wish, Will," she said, "but X
wouldn't even so much as notice him.
Besides, you have General Wash"
She hesitated, remembering that pass.
"Oh, you haven't either: Well, I will
go." She turned and left the room,
after one more bitter glance at Fer
guson. "Yes, I l:now you had a pass. What
did you do with It?" that olllcer now
demanded.
"I was robbed of It with other
things."
"Sir," said the other, sternly; "It is
known that your put was handed by
you in the forest to General Arnold
to whom you gave your clothes. The
traitor Intended to disguise himself as
you if he hadn't gotten away as he
did."
Captain Burton, forgetting his ap
pearance, looked at the other In the
most contemptuous surprise.
"1 take It I was seen giving the pass
to General Arnold. Who saw me?"
"A peddler Detohard Who followed
you to this door."
"Detelmrd," Burton cried, remember
ing the man of the tavern. "He was
one of the robbers."
"Ah, was he?" said the other, with
sarcastic insolence. But he added: "I
will acknowledge the fellow's repute
Isn't of tho best. But. captain, I find
you here In these clothes?"
"How could I get away?" Burton rea
soned. "And why should I wish to risk
my neck for this Arnold? Now, Is that
a natural supposition?"
"Natural enough, natural enough.
You came to this house, where you
thought you could get other clothes and
another pass, because you are betrothed
to General Wilton's daughter."
"You idiotic fool!" the English olll
cer cried. "Y'ou accuse me of the vilest
treachery."
"Where's the pass, then?" the other
Insisted.
"Haven't I told you I was robbed of
It?"
"Robbed the first excuse, always,
captain," said his persistent accuser.
"Now, look here, my man," Burton
cried; "why couldn't General Arnold
write his own pass?"
"Because such a pass would have been
looked on with suspicion, after the plot
against West Point had been discov
ered?" "Why didn't ho get General Washing
ton to write a pass?",
"Because all the posts would be
warned to stop the bearer of all passes
given by or to Arnold," the other went
on, in his line of reasoning.
"But how In heaven should I get
away? You yourself must acknowledge.
not In the way you said." The man
winked.
"Miss Wilton would have attended to
that." He bore Miss Wilton some re
sentment for her remark to him, and
his spite reached to his lips.
The captain of the king's hussars
would have hit this zealous and Insolent
olllcer then and there If his Judgment
had not suddenly cooled his rage.' He
was in the man's hands, and he needed
to use subtlety.
"But that's neither here nor there,"
the lieutenant continued. "You are un
der arrest. Come, now, we'll have to
search you. Sergeant!" he called at the
door.
The sergeant entered, a grave,
bronzed veteran. Ho being a. man of
experience, looked at Burton nnd rec
ognized the benrliiE of a gentleman,
which the lieutenant, vain with the
conceits of recent successes in battle
nnd blinded by the desire to distin
guish himself, had failed to notice,
"I can't search the gentleman," said
the sergeant,
"Oh, I will take ofl these rags glad
ly," Burton hastened to say. "I wish
you would find mo something else to
wear ns you suggested lieutenant, was
my own Intention In coming" here."
"Humph! nothing," said the lieuten
ant, after the search was over, Ho was
bitterly disappointed.
"Now, sergeant," snld Burton, disre
garding the other, "will you ask Miss
Wilton If she won't lot me borrow a
suit of her father's clothes?"
"I think he should have 'cm, even If
he be one of the spies,'" the sergeant
vclunteered.
The lieutenant hesitated, and decid
ed, diplomatically, that, It ho had been
over zealous, It now would bo well to
show a courtesy,
"J don't object." The foes wnlted In
silence until the sergeant returned with
the clothes. After he was dressed
again, with the rags In a heap on the
lloor, our captain felt rather better; for
good clothes do make some difference
to a mini accustomed to them as wll
as to one unnccustomed to poor ones,
"Now," Burton asked, "you will nl
low me to sny good-bye to Miss Wil
ton?" Again the lieutenant hesitated, but,
for the same reasons ns before, ended
by aciiulesclng, nnd discreetly left the
room,
"It's true, then you're under nr
rest?" snld she, as sho entered, now
very pale.
"Yes," said Burton, "but It will all be
explained."
"Yes, of course," said Polly; "yet It's
a shame n shame!" and she sobbed
softly on his shoulder.
As, a hnlf ho' later, the troop
swung alony; th id, the silent lieu-
tenant at their head, Burton gloomily
relleeted how black was his case. All
the Britl.ih army might assert that It
was as be repuesint d It, But a Brit
ish oRlcer's statement now, under the
circumstances of the Arnold treason,
would have little, if any, weight. It
seemed to him that his situation was
worse than even Major Andre's; for he
would be popularly convicted of using
his position toward the Wiltons most
despicably. He himself, a king's ofll
cer, did not condemn his friend, John
Andre. Andre was but obeying orders.
But In his, Burton's case, there were
impossible conditions, which certainly
would reflect on the woman he loved.
As the little array rode Into West
Point the men frowned at and reviled
him. Feeling ran high that day; and,
Indeed, no one knew how far the great
treason reached.
TO BE CONCLUDED.
UKIIMAN CJTIHS GROW.
Out Not So Rapidly as Some American
Comparisons .Make It Appear.
From tho Sun,
There Is n paragraph now going the
lounds of the press which declares that
In 1S70 New York had 150,000 more peo
ple than Berlin and tha In 1SS0 Berlin
had outstripped New. York. In 1S75
Hamburg had 34S.O0O people and Bos
ton 342,000, but in 1S90 Hamburg had
GGU,2G0 and Boston 184,000. Baltimore
was once as big as Hamburg, but It
has long been distanced. Leipzig has
grown from 127,000 In lST'i to .Iim.OOO In
1S!)0 and has distanced San Francisco.
Breslau used to be smaller than Cin
cinnati, and Is now larger. Cleveland
and Buffalo and Pittsburg were all In
1SS0 bigger than Cologne, but Cologne
was bigger In 1890. Dresden Is grow
ing more quickly than New Orleans.
These figures, showing the Increase
of the population of German cities,
would be of more serious account, per
haps, If they accorded more nearly
with the real facts of the case. By the
oillcial census of lSur, the population of
Berlin was l.::ifi,000. By the census of
1S90 it was 1,579.244. New York has
now more than 200,000 poulatlon in ex
cess of the total of Berlin. It was
ahead of the German city In 1S70; It Is
ahead of It now. The oillcial census of
Hamburg In 1SS5 made Its population
300,000. In 1S90 It was 5C9.000, a ma
terial Incrense, due more largely to an
nexation of territory than to the nor
mny growth of poulatlon. Breslau has
gained nearly 25 per cent. In popula
tion In ten years, and has grown more
rapidly than Cincinnati. But, on the
other hand, Chicago has Increased In
much greater intlo than any German
city, nnd hns now as large a poula
tlon as Berlin, if not a population con
siderably larger.
It Is a serious question whether.
really, the population of Leipzig Is as
large ns the population of San Fran
cisco. In 1S90 there was a census in
both cities, and it returned 295,000 us
the population of Leipzig and 29S.000.
3000 more, ns the population of San
Francisco. Possibly, of course, the
growth of population In San Francisco
may have been more rapid than In the
German "book town," but there are
certainly no llu'urcs to prove it. The
truth of the matter Is that since the
close of the Franco-German war und
the payment to Germany of the big
French Indemnity manufactures have
been stimulated In Germany to the In
Jury of nsjrlculture, and the low prices
of agricultural products In Germany, ns
In the United States und other coun
tries have materially cheapened the
cost of living, while under the protec
tive systum the payment of wages In
manufacturing pursuits has been sus
tained, Accordingly, tho big cities of
Germany have Increased greatly In
population since the close of the Franco-Prussian
war, but In no such pro
portion us Is Indicated by the figures
which have been sent out on their
travels ntnontr the newspapers of the i
country. The establishment of the Ger
man empire has enhanced greatly the
Importance of Berlin ns n city and has
drawn to It many persons who, did
not feel themselves milch attracted to
the somewhat Inaccessible capital town
of the Prussian monarchy, Berlin en
joys another advantage, which It may
be said to share with Paris and Vienna,
of being the capital city ns well ns
the chief city of the country, nnd the
sanitary and building reforms prose
cuted by the German Imperial Gov
ernment have boomed Berlin, to use
an American phrase, and Hamburg, the
chief port of Germany (Berlin is not
a port), has shared In the Increase.
STUDY OFHEREDITY.
Inherited Trails May Be Overcome by
Suitable Environment and Careful
Early Training.
From the Philadelphia Record,
The doctrine of heredity, whatever Its
truth In other respects, Is not necessari
ly true with respect to Intellectual qual
ities. A child brought up In a hnppy
home, and subject to tho benign Inllu
ence of good examples, is likely to show
the effect when grown to manhood or
womanhood; but" this effect Is, In the
main, the result of environment, and
not of heredity. Neither a happy home
nor good examples can Implant Intellect
when Nature has denied Its fitting re
ceptacle. The child may have the eyes,
the features and the distinguishing
bodily marks of one or both parents;
but there Is no assurance that It will In
herit the parental Intellect.
A man's descendants, saysMr. God
kin In his article of "Democratic Ten
dencies" In the Atlantic Monthly for
February, "raiely Inherit from a father
more than one or two mental peculiari
ties, valuable when united with other
things, but standing alone of little use
in the battle of life a fact which may
be verified anywhere by observing the
families of distinguished men. A man
eminent in politics or law or medicine
or commerce or finance or war Is seldom
succeeded by a son who recalls the en
semble qualities which have secured
the father's success, although he may
have one or two of his characteristics.
Heredity obtained Its stronghold In the
popular Imagination In the middle ages,
owing to the fact that the son was In
possession of his father's power when
lie died, and that in a rude age, when
things were mainly decided by fighting,
It offered the readiest means of settling
peaceably questions of succession. But
as soon as the question of the right of
a class to rule In virtue of heredity be
came a subject of discussion heredity
broke down."
APPLIES TO ANIMALS.
The law of heredity undoubtedly ap
plies to animals. The horse, for Instance,
transmits speed and endurance. Like
wise man may transmit physical quali
ties; but there Is no law that Insures
the transmission of intellectual quali
ties. Training, however, has a wonder
ful effect In developing nnd strengthen
ing such qualities. The Military acade
my at West Point furnishes a ready il
lustration. When a new class, the
"Plebs," assemble there they are for the
most part mere animals. At the end of
four years th'ey are different beings;
discipline and study have developed
body, mind and spirit. They have be
come gentlemen and soldiers. Their
bearing, their expression and their
movement witness to the transforma
tion which they have undergone. "That
being born of particular parents made
any one essentially of better quality
than anbody else," says the writer in
the Atlantic Monthly, "that If one bun
dled babies of different conditions were
brought up In the same manner the sons
of noblemen and gentlemen among
them would show their superiority to
the others In their character, was a
doctrine which after the middle nges
was probably never fully accepted, even
by the most ardent believers In heredi
ty." Wo are Inclined to think that while
the Intellect of the parent Is not neces
sarily nor usually transmitted, the
germs of character are; and among the
hundred babies above mentioned great
differences would be observed In their
several characters. The superiority
might not be on the side of the noble
man's son; on the contrary, there might
possibly be Inferiority, But the father
of high character, whether peasant or
gentleman, would be apt to transmit the
outlines of that character to his off
spring. After all, though, It Is training
and environment that draw out and fix
the characteristics of mankind; and it
Is the training and environment of the
young that must be looked to and pro
vided for If we would secure the future
safety of our Institutions and promote a
genuine and lasting chilatlon.
Troubled with His .Votes,
It was an hour or more after midnight.
There was a furious ringing at the door
bell. A few minutes elapsed, and then
a head was thrust out of a second-story
window. "What do you want'.'" "This is
