During the war he has proposed by letter

becauso Burton is a ilno young fellow.
Hurton obtains passes from tho British
eommunder and from General Washing
ton to go within tho American lines utid
visit Polly. He stops at an Inn near Wil
ton Mnnor to make lilms-elf more pre
sentable. While dressing1, he overhears,
through a knothole In the door, some
"cowboys," or Tory marauders, plotting
to enpturo and rob him, dress him In a
disguise and hand him over to tho Con
tinental authorities as a spy, the treason
nf Arnold and the capture of Major An
dro just having taken place. Hurton nnd
his servant, Brlggs, prepare for defense,
but are overpowered. Burton is felled by
a blow on the head. When ho recovers
consciousness ho rinds himself lying near
"Wilton Manor and wearing a tattered suit
of clothes. He goes up to tho house.
De.tr hard, the leader of the rulllans, who
Is notching him, hurries down tho road

cuses Hurton of giving General Washing

taken to West Point.
PART III.
Tnu may picture to yourself Uio pils
ovv interviewed by thu officer in charge,
v hu was inclined to .believe him. Hut
an excellent English sontlemnn and of
lllcer had just been arrested on a .spy's
mission. And why might not this Cap
tain Hurton bo a spy? The ragged
clothes were proof enough, It was said;
they hail been put on so that no one
vlio passed him on the road might rec
ognize him as that traveler.
You may Imagine him disconsolate in
tri L'liardh'ouse.with tho sentry's slow
steps a sail chorus to his thoughts. He

thought of tho scene in the tavern,
and of his servant, poor Bnggn. who,
perhaps, was dead. Hut his chlefest
thought was of Polly.
About sundown a note was brought,
and hu read; "He of good cheer. I love
you, dear." That was all, Indeed, but
it made him think that she always
would believe in him, at, in his mo
ments of deepest depression, he had
fane lid might not be the case. That
"good finer" helped out tho dark night,
and in the morning the guard who
brought his breakfast, a tall, straight
youn fellow, paused.
"I don't believe it, sir."
"What?" asked Burton.
"That you used a visit to your sweet
heart for a spy's purpose."
A woman's work is hard in many ways.
Unless the woman is strong and healthy her
work will cause her much distress nnd pain,
and she will suffer from headaches, and
backaches and side-aches, and each evening
will find her utterly worn-out, sick and dis
gusted with life. In this condition of mind
and body she cannot be a loving and ami
able companion for her husband when he
returns from his work weary too in body
and mind.
If a woman wants to live a happy, con
tented, loving, helpful married life she can
not take too much care of the health and
vigor of the organs distinctly feminine, for
her general health and strength is largely
dependent upon her special health in a wo
inanly way. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion enables a woman to be always well and
strong where a woman most needs health
and strength. It acts directly on the Im
portant nnd delicate organs involved in her
wifehood and motherhood. It makes them
strong and healthy. Taken during the pe
riod preceding motherhood it banishes the
usual discomforts nnd makes baby's coming
easy and comparatively painlcks. It insures
the new -comer's health and provides an
ample supply of natural nourishment, It
cures all weakness and disease, and head
aches, backaches, and side-aches no longer
torture her in her work. Over 00,000 wo
men have testified to the wonderful vir
tues of the "Favorite Prescription" over
their signatures. An honest druggist will
not try to force on you a substitute for the
sake of a few pennies added profit.

"Tli'py fire tnlltliiK about It, arc thoy?"
Hurton asked.
"Yes; they nro tnlltlnpr nhout it;
news spreads now; everybody is scared
at everybody else. Hilt 1 I have a
sweetheart, sir, and you are , ntle
ntnn." The king's captain stcretched out his
hand, and, then and theft, shook hands
with the rebel soldier; and from that
moment Captain Hurton was comforted
by knowing that he had a friend In his
prison, and that certainly thero was
some talk In his favor.
Shortly after this talk with the guard,
Polly ond General YVIlton were an
nounced. The girl was very pale, but
now suddenly she smiled on her lover,
and, her arms about him, looked up
into his face.
"I believe in you, dear," she said,
simply.
"Why, of course you' do," he said, al
most Bayly, and then ho turned to the
gray-haired gentleman who had been
distinguished In every great affair since
Long Island and who was now a gen
eral. "I hope that you, too, sir, may not
have lost faith?"
"D'ye s'pose I'd let you court my
daughter. If I had?" he said,' testily.
''No, not I, captain. War Is war, said I.
There are plenty of good men who be
lieve In the king, and his taxes; plenty
who don't. So. when Polly's heart was
set, and, knowing you were of good
family, I let you have your way, and 1
am not a man to change In the tick of
the clock."
"You've hefird tho story from Pol
ly?" the captain asked.
"Every word of It," said tho general.
"Now, you didn't happen to hear any
names called when you were peeking
down Into that tap-room? Hy tho way,
we've had that hole cleaned out."
"Yes," said Burton; I heard, one
Detchaid.' I told your Lieutenant Fer
guson." "Eh, Detchard" said tho general.
"You know he was your accuser, then?
Do you know why? Well, I'll tell you,
I WOULD DO IT?"
through me. I have heard that I am
of General Arnold's height and figure;
and this Detchard saw It in a min
ute."
"Ho is a cunning fellow," the general
replied; "but wfc will wateh him."
And days passed when Major Andre's
fate became more certain. When tho
British authorities, as well, expostulat
ed In vain about Captain Burton's de
tention; When Polly grew thin and
grave. Although thb world were
against Captain Burton, she, whose
opinion he held best, at least believed
In him, and suffered perhaps more than
he himself. Her father now command
ed the post, and she could see the pris
oner often. Under the circumstances
of the ohnrge, Captain Burton's parole
could not be taken. Hut he had no lack
of comforts. He had that good fellow,
tin sympathizing guard, who, too, had
a sweetheart; and there were letters
froir Now York by the score, declaring
the thing an outrage, and "we'll make
the rebels pay dearly." And one tiny
there was a scrawl brought in, and it
was from Briggs; Biiggs who hadn't
been killed In the fight at the tavern,
but who had bet-n badly wounded, and
delivered over by his captors as a red
coat taken in linns. He was now a pris
oner in the hospital, where he had been
delirious until shortly before the time
of writing. He explained that ho hadn't
n red coat on when he had been deliv
ered to the authorities, or. In fuel, any
coat at nil. They had taken his clothes
us well as his muster's.
This scrawl from his man gave tho
prisoner heart. And, I must state
frankly, chieily for Polly for whom he
was heart-sick. He did not think so
much about himself; s was a soldier;
hi' was trained to fare discourage
ments; more he was of a lino of gen
tlemen. He asked what people said of him and
her, and Polly tossed her head and fcaid
that If they gossiped any evil their
opinion was of "no account, anyway."
Now, one duy when she was particu
larly anxious the news about Major
Andre's fate hud become so serious
Miss Wilton came to the prison with the
Dut'h servant woman, who had regard
ed our captain with such disfavor when
he had appeared In his rags at tho
Manor. Now she wus closely mullled.
" 'Llsbeth has the neuralgia," Polly
explained.
"I am sorry, 'Llsbeth," said the cap
tain. "Do you notice she's stouter than be
fore?" Polly persisted.
"Well, I really didn't have time to
notice her particularly."
"It's that!" said Polly, going to tho
point; "she's ft, very tail woman yes,
about your height. She Is so stout be
cause she has two gowns on. You are
to put on her clothes, and go out with
me. We will get you away! 'Llsbeth
will be freed; so it won't matter to
her."
"Ycpx, seer," said 'Llsbeth, with a
curtesy.
"You dear girl," Burton cried. "Have
you told your father of this?"
"I didn't of course," sho said.
"Do you suppose that, even If ho
sanctioned it, I would do It? How
could you think I would, Polly?"
Then Polly broke Into sobs; and said
he musn't die; that she hadn't thought
of her father, or anybody, only of him,
Hut she ended by agrt-elng that ho wus
right; he couldn't do It, Hut sho
couldn't have him die. He replied with
a tender laugh, that ho was still very
much alive.
The day after this episode, tho door
was thrown back to admit a tall, keen
blue eyed, flrm-llpped olllcer. Tho
guard saluted to the ground.
"Your Excellency," Hurton cried,
springing to his feet; for this indeed
was General Washington.
"You do me great honor," the pris
oner continued.
"I have been deeply affected hy your
case; T could not believe"
"1 trust general, that you don't be
lieve that."
The keen blue eyes looked him over
and over.
"I don't," he said, at last. "I believe
your story about tho robbery, The
plausibility of tho charge is that you
are about General Arnold's height, nnd
"YOU DO ME GREAT HONOR," THE
PRISONER CONTINUED.

now runs so high. It was very unfor
tunate, in the light of events, that I
Issued that pass. It was against my
judgment hem!''
For he suddenly remembered that It
had been Dame Martha's sentimental
persuasion. Women are always making'
a mess of practical affairs.
"Your accuser Is "
"One Dptchard, a peddler."
The general paused, "Detchard! I
know that name, my It can't he tho
man? I owe that man a favor."
For a moment the calm, strong face
seemed to be sunken in reflection.
"I think I can do something for you,
Captain Hurton." Then giving the
prisoner his hand, the great man went
out.
If General Washington could not,
who, indeed, could?
The court was sitting1; grave, dis
tinguished men; officers and men of
nfllaiis; names on American schoolboys'
lips; faces which Stuart, and Penle,
and Trumbull have handed down to us
on canvasses that still seem to carry
the forceful personalities of theiv orig
inals. And anions' them was His Ex
cellency, calm, cold, self-held. One
wondered If this were the man who,
they said, had been in a temper at Long
Island; who had called Charles Lee
hard names In a certain great battle.
He looked, ns he sat there, so absolute
ly self-controlled, shrewd, practical,
with a great fund of simple common
sense.
And there was the prisoner, carrying
himself as was fitting n gentleman and
olllcer. And there was that old lighter.
General Wilton, sending across to the
English captain n glance of encourage
ment and approval.
Tho case was stated. Captain Burton
had obtained n pass on a false pretext.
He bad been seen handing papers to
General Arnold, of whose height and
figure he was. Ho had been arrested
In a disguise, and plainly Intended to
deceive any passer who hud seen him
on the road from New York. If tho
traitor Arnold had written that he
know nothing of Captain Burton If
Major John Andre, and Sir Henry Clin
ton declared that Burton know nothing
of the plot against West Point, such
Interested evldenc? could not be enter
tained by this court. No more could
the prisoner's own story, nnd his ser
vant's, now 111 in the hospital; even
If their statements agreed, It was plain
that there would have been an under
standing between master and man. ,
"Jacob Detcher, peddler, formerly
sergeant In the Fifth New York line,"
was called.
Every neck was craned forward as a
short, thick-set man arose. His face
was at first defiant, and then a look of
resolution came over it; not defiance,
hut some feellnsr waking the man dif
ferent from the dissipated fellow known
as Detchard, the peddler. Tho wit
ness' eyes caught the calm, blue ones
of His Excellency, and to His Excel
lency he seemed to address himself.
"Your honors," he begnn, and the
room fell still. "1 am the formerly
Sergeant Jacob Detchard. who was
Hogged and run out of the army by
General Wilton, because of cruelty to
the men, nnd of Insubordination and
drunkenness. But, your honors, I was
once a different mnn, as His Excel
lency, the general could tell you, I was
born with a conscience, and the good
God has said that a man born with a
conscience cannot destroy It, how
ever low he may sink."
The prisoner paused after thlsstranse
preamble.
"Yesterday, your honors, Ills Excel
lency sent for me, and he said; "Detch-
arl, you have a bad reputation, but 1
want to thank you for the time when
you threw yourself between mo and'
the Hessian at Trenton.' And, your
honors, the greatest gentleman In Am
erica reached forward and took my
hand, that wicked hand of mine, which
has done nothing hut bad things since
I took to drink and tho devil took my
heart. And, your honors, as His Excel
lency held my hand, ho looked Into my
eyes and he said: 'What, Detchard, Is
the truth about Captain Burton?' Then
conscience was stirred In me, under his
eyes, and I said: 'I lied. It was a He
from beglnnlg to end. I put the dogs
at the tavern up to tho robbery. I did
It because I wanted to bring disgrace
on General Wilton.' "
The speaker turned abqut and faced
the court.
"Governor Clinton has since hung
three of those men for other crimes. I
am ready, your honors, to hear my pun
ishment." The witness stopped, with his face
bent forward on his breast. Suddenly
another voice tho voice of the general
himself was heard.
"I want to say that T, for one, would
like an Impression of this court, to the
effect that former Sergeant Jacob
Detchard has acted today nn a brave
man. His case that of false swear
ing and of assault and robbery Is, I
"it J&sP &$$& 1
believe, one for the civil authorities of
this state."
And they who told mo this tale
you will find no account of It In the
histories say Hint this expression uf
the court was unnnlmous, and that
iJetchard worked out n two years' sen
.enco and lived after that ns an honest
man.
Now, outside, Captain Burton found
Miss Polly Wilton watting for him.
"I feel that I am a gentltman again,"
said the captain nf tho king's hussaro.
"Whoever doubted that you were, you
goose?" said this I'olly with the laugh
lug eyes.
"Not you, at least, my dear," our cup-
tain retorted. "And to think mat 1
fell Into all this trouble because 1
wanted to nppenr before you in fine
clothes!"
"Pride Booth' before a downfall,"
quoth Polly.
"But love followeth It," snld Burton.

perlty, In 1X12. In the menntlmo rates of
transportation, both for passenger and
freight tralllc, have decreased. In fact,
It Is safo to say that transportation today
costs less than three-iritnrtera ot what It
did ten or twelve years ngo, and tho
wages, which form directly sixty per cent,
of tho eos,t of transportation, remained
tho same. When I say sixty per cent., I
take no account of the wages pnld out In
all tho allied Industries. 1 merely mean
that out of every one hundred dollars
whleh the railroad spends, sixty dollars
Is paid direct to labor and forty per cent,
for material, If It wero possible to estl
mato the amount paid for labor In this
material, from the llrst lap of the
locomotive, we should probably llnd that
of tho remaining forty dollars 75 or SO per
cent, was labor. The dnnger of a further
reduction In railway rates undoubtedly
lies in the reduction of wages, whleh
must follow. This Is not desirable. Fur

tation In the world, and paying more than
double wages for all grades of employes,
the American people should bo satisfied
with present conditions.

From the Washington Post.
Congressman Mnhon.of Pennsylvania,
on Friday night last, at Grand Army
hall, on the occasion of the anniversary
of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln,
arter referring to that golden thread
which seemed to pervade the nature of
the martyr president his humor re
lated the following pathe.tle anecdote of
hi 111.:
General Daniel E. Sickles, of New
York, after his wound at Gettysburg,
and the amputation of his log, was
brought to a house on 13 street. The
hemorrhage from the wound was such
as to lead his physicians to believe
that he could not recover. That night
he was visited by President Lincoln.
"I am sorry, General," said Mr. Lin
coln, "to see you so severely wounded."
"I feel grateful to you, Mr. President,"
replied tho suffering warrior, "for call
ing to see me. My life is fust ebbing
away."
"No, no," said Air. Lincoln, with much
feeling in his manner; "no. General,
you are not going to die!" Then, with
an Indescribable look on his face nnd a
gleam in his eyes, the president said:
"General, I have prayed to God that If
he would only give me Vlcksburg and
Gettysburg I would forever after conse
crate my life to his service; I have
prayed to him for your recovery; you
are not going to die."
President Lincoln, after leaving Gen
eral Sickles, returned to tho White
house, and nt 1 o'clock the next morning
he knew that Vlcksburg had fallen Into
the hands of General Grant. The Union
forces were victorious nt Gettysburg,
and General Sickles still lives.
Weak on Geography.
Little things Illustrate certain English
men's knowledge of American geography
very picturesquely. An Englishman who
had taken the Pacific express at Phila
delphia called out on going to bed before
the train started:
"Portah! Portah!"
The porter came. "What Is it, sir?"
he said.
