"wwp mm "? K T THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5 8, 181T. THE CAPTAIN'S THREE from the Now Ills Excellency General Washington having Intrusted me with Important dispatches for my lord the Marquis do Lafayette, then In Virginia facing the troops of Lord Cornwallls, I set off post-haste on Bess, than whom a braver, better mare never existed. Ills Excellency having especially desired me to make all haste nnd to avoid danger, 1 pressed onward at the best pace Bess could make in view of the four days' Journey before her, and took what care I could to avoid meeting nny of the marauding bands of that traitor, General Arnold. Alas, that a brave man and good soldier should do a thing so basel He was then burning and destroying what property he could, many of the houses being those of men who were once his great est friends, and now, viciously I thought, was he carrying on his work of destruction. Of the men of his com mand I had a wholesome fear, for news had reached us that the General was detested by the British ofneers for bis treachery and was allowed to command only the riff-raff of the army men who feared not to cut a throat or rob a purse of any they met. For Uireo days Bess and I had made good progress, and 1 looked forward to striking the outposts of Lafayette's little army on the following evening should fortune favor my finding them where I .expected. Little did I sur mise what Fate had In store for me; that which I would not readily face again, and much of which I might but for the impetuosity of youth have then avoided. It was on the evening of the third day of my Journov that I made the first to see my dearm m mb mbmbmmm mistake (for so-called I It for many years afterwards, chiefly will confess to see my dear wife pout, which she docs most prettily). Bess and I were tired and ustl. for the day was hot and the roads heavy, and the Inn was seeking was still miles away. On de scending a hill, I saw near the foot a road branching almost at right angles to the turnpike, and, though overgrown with weeds, still showing fresh signs of a wagon's broad tires. Where a wagon might go Bess and I may follow, thought I, and I turned her Into the lane, glad to escape the dust and heat, under the cool foliage, and eager for signs of a house whole Bess and I might have food and rest. For a mile or so we Jogged steadily onward, when In crossing a small brook Be?3 slipped and nearly throw me, and then, thoush I urged I fear somewhat roughly, for my anger was quick to rise, would she not mount the bank. Therefore, must I perforce dismount Into water to my knees, whereupon I found her left fore leg badly sprained, nnd she all a-tremble with the pain. With my help she got up the bank, and I led her on slowlv as must be with her injury. And so we had traversed half a mile when the merry bark of a dog reached my ears and halted me. Had Bess been sound I would have taken to the woods to find out whether friend or foe was there in front: but Bess with her injured leg could not scramble through the forest, so I re solved to go forward and brave the risk in the hope of getting aid for her. Cautiously vj advanced until, turn ing a sharp corner of the road, I saw pome little dlstancenhead a maid romp ing with a dog and laughing at the dog's frantic efforts to snatch from her hand a white kerchief which she flaunt ed In his face. So artfully did she ad vance and retreat, and so skillfully did she wave the kerchief Just out of reach of his jaws, that the dog after contin ued efforts to reach it lay sulkily down at her feet. It was then she turn.'d and faced me, who had come close upon her. Her laughter died awny In a scream, and th'en she laughed again, and I bowed with what graoj I could. "Be not afraid, mistress," said I. "Nay, I am not that," she cried; "I was but startled. I thought you were an enemy." "None could be an enemy of thine," tald I gallantly, for her sweet face, with Its framework of golden hair, had set my heart a flutter. She blushed a rosy red, and 1, to ease her embarrassment, asked if she could direct me to an Inn, wlvrc I might ob tain lodging for myself and horse. "There Is no inn but Is held by Ar nold and Ills men," she said; "but It you can put up with such hospitality as my aunt can furnish, you will be welcome." I thanked her as well as I could, for the distracting beauty of her fac? no man could well resist. She blushed as she sow my evident admiration. "Shall we go to the house?" she asked. I bowed. "Take they horss and como then," she cried. I turned, nnd to my surprise Bess was gone. I ran to tho turn of the road; she was not In sight, and back again 1 went, wondering. The maid laughed long and Joyfully. "A nice soldier you are," cried she. "to allow your horse to be stolen from under your nose. Come, I will find him for you," and she led me into a small wood, whera tho underbrush grew thickly. We pushed our way through for some 20 feet, and to my surprise came out upon a well-kept road lead ing to a stately mansion, and there was Bess, being led along by the dog, her bridle rein having fallen over her head. "Gyp leads my pony that way," cried the maid, and, talking and laughing, we walked to the house. I dressed me quickly for dinner, for tho young stomach brooks but little delay, and was downstairs In the big, somber drawing-room some minutes lis nil Cottolene U nearly all 'pur? VEGETABLE OIL 3EEF ASUETN t ft I York PrM. beforo Dorothy as I soon found was her name came down. She told me her aunt, an Invalid, was too 111 to see me that night, but wcicomeu me io tho house ns shs would welcome any patriot. Dorothy had changed her gown for a frock of white, and on her bosom wore a great red rose. Many a year thought It Is since that day, I can Bhut my eyes and see her Just ns sho stood In that great drnwlng-room, somewhat, (lushed under my ardent glance, but knowing right well her place as hostess and mine as guest. II Such a dinner! Shall I ever forget It? 1 who was then young and awk ward, for I was a soldier and not a ladles' man, was put at my eas by Dorothy's girlish unconsciousness, and chatted as freely as did she. Before dinner was over we were fast friends. So delightful was I that I lingered, and so fnr forgot mysjlf as to neglect, for even that short time, his excellency's orders to make all haste to Lafayette. Finally I paid I must go, and Dorothy sent word to have th'e best horse In the stable Faddled for me, for poor Bess would not bo fit to travel for some weeks. We stood on the broad piazza, I thinking of some fitting words of farewell, which somehow would not frame themselves upon my halting tongue. I held out my hand; sh laid her small one In it, and us she did so we heard the tramp of horse upon the road. As we listened they drew rapid ly near. "Goody-by," I cried, and was oft for the stalil?. Dorothy called me back. "Not there," sho exclaimed; "they will see you." Back I ran, and together we darted Into the house, and through the draw ing-room window Baw a scori or so of redcoats coming rapidly up the road. "Quick, I must hide you," Dorothy cried. Never have I seen a maid so ac tive. In one corner of the room was a cabinet, about the height of my shoul der, nnd behind It and apparently against tho wall a heavy curtain. Quickly we pulled this out, and I slipped behind, finding myself in a small alcove, which had at one time evidently been a bay-window. I saw Dorothy pick up some sewing work and sit demurely down. I heard the troop ers draw up In front of the house, heard tho order to the men to surround It and search tho rrounds, nnd the next mo ment a handsome young officer was ushered Into the room. Ks advanced dirpctly Into the light of the lamp, while Dorothy had withdrawn some what from it, and I imagined he could not see her clearly In the partial sha dow, for the next moment wlrn the light beamed on her face I could see his start of surprise and the admira tion in his eyes. "Madame," he said, and his manner was most couiteous and Ills bow most graceful, "Madam!?, I am Capt. Hollls ter of his Majesty's Fourth Dragoons. I am In chase of a colonial captain carrying Important dispatches to the Marquis do Lafayette, and have reason to think he is In this vicinity. May I ask If you have seen or heard of him!" "Sir," she replUd, and I was sur prised at her dignity, "we do not see many American ofllcera in this quiet place." "True," he said. "Mv Lord Corn wallls is too near." I could have stran gled him for saying such a thing to Dorothy. She did not reply, and tlu officer con tinued: "You did not answer my ques tion. Have you seen him?" "Do you not think It probable I should be the first to report the fact If he were here?" sh's replied, to my astonishment. "I do not doubt you are as good a subject of his Majesty as your father, but I must have your assurance that tho man am after is not around here." "Your tone is insulting, sir," Dorothy cried, in some anger. "You will not answer," he exclaimed; "then I must search te house. I am sorry, but It Is my duty." I admired him for his persistence be fore such a maid as Dorothy. He was a good Eolrtlpr. At this moment a trooper camo to the door and whispered to the Captain. I heard him exclaim, and he hastily sent the man out with orders to search the grounds. Then he turned to Dorothy. "The man's horse has been found In the stable," he cried. "We followed him by his horse tracks; they turned this way, and I am sure that if you have not seen him he Is hidden somewhere around here." He picked up the lamp. "You will pardon me," he said, "but I must make the examination thor ough." He walked around the room, and then started for the door. "I will spare you all the trouble I can," he said. I was about to Bpeak to Dorothy, when he returned hastily. "I have been hero before," ho cried, "and If I remember correctly, there was another window in this room. Where is it?" "It has been closed," said Dorothy, "walled up." He paused a moment In thought. "It was a bow-window," ho exclaimed, "opening upon tho portico. You have a cabinet in front of It," and he advanced toward me. "Stand back, sir," cried Dorothy, springing before him. He stopped where ho was, and I saw he suspected from her remark that I was hidden behind the curtain. I re solved to wait for his next movement, and quietly drew my saber. "I must see what Is behind the cur z&Jtl Physicians know that refined vegetable oil, must be more wholesome than hog-fat they endorse Cottolene.

Sho did not move, whereupon ho very gently pushed her aside. Sho struggl ed, and In tho struggle she gave a llt tlo scream of pain. With all my force I pushed aside the cabinet. The man Instantly released Dorothy, and as he did so I struck at him with my clench ed fist. Down ho fell, and In a moment I was on top of him, with my hand on his throat to prevent him crying out. "Quick," I cried to Dorothy, "a rope." With admirable presence of mind she tore down a curtain rope, nnd I quick ly tied the Captain's arms, and taking his pistol from his belt, held It at his head. "Do not cry out," said I, "or I shall Ehoot you." Dorothy meanwhile had shut the door nnd locked It. "I must get out," I said to her. "Tho house is surrounded," said tho officer, quietly. "I know a way," cried Dorothy. "A big apple treo is near my window. Some of Its branches hang over the ndjolnlng wall. You can catch a limb down on the outside of the wall. But you may bo seen." "I will attempt it," I said. "I shall seo you soon again," said the Captain, with unmistakable meaning. "Nny," said I, "you, yourself, aro a prisoner still." "You dare not keep me," he cried, "with my troopers here." "They will not find you there," said Dorothy, pointing to the alcove I had just quitted. "True," said I, taking out my ker chief to gag him, while Dorothy looked cautiously into the hall to seo if .the coast was clear. "Wait." he said, quietly. "Itl s now 9 o'clock. At 6 In the morning I have an Important engagement ten miles from here; I must be there." I shook my head. "It is nn affair of honor," he cried earnestly; "I shall bed isgraced It I am not there." I thought quickly that I might aid myself thereby. "If you agree," said I, "to make no effort to follow me until the clock strikes 10, and also to say no word about Mistress Dorothy concealing me, I will release you." "I cannot," he said; "my duty " "Your honor!" I exclaimed. "Nay, then I promise," he cried. I released him and, returning his sul len bow, left the room. Dorothy was waiting In the hall, and quickly we ran upstairs. She threw open the window of her room, and lookeed out and then beckoned for me. It was quite dark, the moon not hav ing risen. The stout branch of a big tree was within six feet of the window, some of the twigs brushing the pane. A group of soldiers were at the side door some little distance away. I heard their voices but could not see them. It was a great risk, but I must needs go, and quickly, for next they would search the house. "Good-by," I said, "and may God bless you." "Good-by," she murmured. Taking her hands In both mine, I looked at her earnestly. Her eyes met mine fearlessly and then drooped, and In a moment well, I marvel much I did not kiss her, but contented my self with pressing her hands so hard I feared me I hurt her. Then I took the (lower-pots from the window-sill and with them a small picture In a silver frame. Why I held it In the candle light and looked at It I know not. The picture was of Dorothy, and exquis itely painted. I looked for a place to put It down and caught Dorothy's eyes. Something In them made me slip the picture carefully Into my coat. "May I?" I asked. She nodded speechless. Once more I said "Good-by," this time bravely kissing her hand. Then Jump ing on the window sill, I sprang for the branch, caught It, and carefully slid down. Inch by Inch, noiselessly, and on the side of the wall farthest from the house. A trooper was between the house and the tree, but ho heard mo not, and In a minute I had gained the wood. hi Fearing pursuit, I sped on and on, until my breath was well-nigh spent, and I was deep In the tangle of the wood and no sign of path or road about me. In the rush from the house I had failed to notice in which direction I ran, and I began to cast ebout for a means of again getting back to the main road and reaching the James river, along which I expected to find the army. I walked on, and by rare good luck within a half hour reached a merry brook of some size and made what speed I could down stream along Its bank, forcing my way, at no small damage to my clothes, through tho brambles, which at times reached to my waist and hindered my progress grevlously. It was, I should judge about four of the morning and Just growing light when my guide.tho brook, brought me to what, as I later found, was the main turnpike which I had so foolishly left the evening before, and bravely I set out at my best walk In the direction in which, I judged from the general contour of the country, lay the river. And now, free of tho woods and on a good road, I had time to think of Dorothy and wonder when I should again see her sweet face. The sun was just rising when, reach ing the top of a hill, I saw in ths dis tance the James, and realized with a Slad heart that my Journey would soon be at an end; and then, so it Is with youth, I planned how I should risk call ing on Dorothy on my Journey back to his Excellency's army. So absorbed was I In my reverts that my awakening was a rude on?, for hearing the thump of horse-hoots, I glanced down the hill I had Just climb ed and saw coming up at a gallop a solitary horseman. I was in full view and with no weapon but my saber, but I resolved, Instead of making off through the wood, to stand my ground, for the follow, as I saw, was in civilian dress. I sauntered along and let him over take me, nor did I look around until he was abreast of me, whereupon I turned with a cheery "Good morning." Then ns we saw each other's faces, I saw him start, nor do I doubt that I also gave an exclamation of surprise. "Travers!" I cried. "You here? Why, I left you In cainp. It was a moment beforo he replied, "You mistake," he said; "my namo is Ferguson." knew not which was deceiving me, my eyes or my ears, for surely ths man before me was Lieut. Travers of his Excellency's staff, a man whom I knew well but liked little. "Nay," cried I ' 'tis no time to Joke, Travers. 'Twere well we pushed on ward to Lafayette's camp at once. You especially should make all speed, for disguised as you are, 'twere death as a spy to bo caught." He laughed harshly. 'Your morning dream has been heavy, my friends," ho exclaimed. "I know not this Travers of whom you speak. For myself I am a simple Virginia planter on my way to Yorktown on business. Mv nam is (Ferguson." I Yet could I hhrdly bellove my oars, for tho voice was Travers's ns well na the face and figure. ""tfls most" wonderful," I said. "I could swenr you were Travurs; "you are tho exact " I glanced at him as I spoke and saw his arm upraised with clubbed, pistol. I threw up my arm to ward off tho blov, but it was knocked down, and the pistol-butt descended with scarcely diminished force upon my head. I felt niy knees give way, I staggered a mo ment and fell senseless. I mu3t have recovered within a sec ond or so, for when I opened my yes I saw hazily that Travers was bending over me and feeling In my coat. I did not at first realize what ho wanted, but the next moment when I saw my prec ious dispatches In his hands, my senses oamc back to mo in a Hood. Oh that my strength had como also! Ho laughed as ho saw my feeble ef forts to stop him, laughed as ho looked at the addresses of my dispatches, and laugh?d as ho mountol his hoise and rodo off. As I struggled, dizzy and faint, to my foot, ho galloped back. " 'Twere unkind." he cried, "to leave so good a comrade alone. Come, you shall go with mo. Here, taks hold of mv snclrlln. fSflri. Arnnlri will lm irl.,,1 in see you, but moro welcome will bo your dispatches." "You coward, you traitor," I gasped. "Hard words bring hard blows, cap. tain," ho replied savagely. "Traitor," I cried again. For a moment I thought ho would strike me, but he laughed and sold, " 'TIs a bravo lad." For a few minutes we wanted on in silence, and I gradual ly regained my strength, though my head throbbed with pain. Suddenly Travors said: "Cptaln, join the British with me. We are sure to w'ln. I'll get you a commission and good pay." ( "'Tis a good service," ho continued; "think It over before answering. You get nothing but glory now, and British gold will outweigh American glory a hundred to on." "You will get me a commission?" I asked. "Ay, nnd good pay. Wilt accept?" "On one condition." "iiame It, then." "You say British gold is good to fight for?" "Ay, that It Is." "Then, I wJll fight for It." "Good. You aro a man after my own heart." "I will fight now." "If we can find any of Lafayette's men." "No, but here." "Eh!" "Here, I say. Dismount and draw your sword, and we will fight man to man. If you win and I am alive, I'll Join tho British; if I take you alive, I will hang you for a spy." "You are a fool," he cried. "Better a fool than a traitor." "Come," he exclaimed, "you cannot anger me, and we are losing time. Take hold of my stirrup and run. If you try to escape I will blow your brains out," and he cocked his pistol and urged his horse Into a gentle lope. All the time I had been planning to get my dispatches back and take the traitor into camp. For that I had led him on to think I would Join the Brit ish, and had endeavored to anger him Into fighting, but In vain. On we went at a good pace for a couple of miles, till I cried, In some distress: "I can run no further." "Then we needs must walk," he cried. Now there occurred to me a plan, a desperate one, truly, but none was too desporate for me then. "I am dizzy," I cried to Travers; "let me get a staff to lean upon." "Wilt ask for my horse next?" he queried sarcastically. "But cut a staff If It please you and hurry." I hacked down a stout sapling with my saber. Travers standing close guard with cocked pistol, and then we journeyed on at a brisk walk until I said: "As I am a prisoner, what matters the time I reach the prison? Let us run; I am hungry." Travers laughe as he touched up his horse Into an easy lope. This was what I wanted, for my plan was suddenly to thrust my s- iff between the fore legs of the horse and thus trip It, In the hope that it would throw Travers. This I did so successfully that the horse was brought to Its knees. Travers, unguarded, was thrown over Its head. Hardly had he touched the ground before I had my hand on his throat an my clenched fist struck him full on his temple to stun him. Then I was nearly thrown off his prostrate body, for one of his feet was caught In his stirrup, and the horse frighten ed, was dashing down the road, drag ging us both after him, his hoofs threatening every minute to dash out our brains. For the moment I was for releasing my hold, but I thought of my dispatches and hung on with one arm about Travers's neck and my legs twined about his, while my hand felt in his breast. It seemed an eternity be fore I found the papers, rolled off his body, and lay bruised and battered on tho ground, while the horse continued at a terrific Bpee down the road, Trav er's body bounding along in great leaps to what seemed an almost certain death.
