Caught Within the
Enemy's Lines
A Story For Washingtoo't Birthday
By EVERETT P. CLARKE
Lt
There are many noted points connect
ed with the American Revolution iu
New Jersey. The main struggle begau
In Massachusetts, was transferred to
New York mid the bulk of it was fought
out in New Jersey, the surrender being
made in Virginia. After the battle ot
Long Island General Washington's
central point—that is, when he was not
In the Held was at Morristown. In a
house which Is now owned by a so
Ciety whose business it Is to keep It In
order as a memento of the Father or
His Country
Some ten miles south of Morristown
Is Basking ridge, where is situated one
of New Jersey's historic homes. Dur
tng Washington's occupancy of the
house at Morristown a wedding occur
red at this house, which be attended
On his way back to his headquarters
he stopped at a house in a little place
called Mendham. telling the members
of bis staff who were with him to ride
on slowly and he would overtake them
Dismounting from his horse the gen
eml entered the gate and asked for ad
mittanee by means of the brass knock
cr which In those days was nsed in
stead of the modern bell. He was ad
mltted by Miss Dorothy Hughes, the
daughter of the person he sought.
"How now. Mistress Dorothy?" said
the genernl. noticing that she was very
pale and all of a tremor. "What is the
matter?"
"Nothing." stammered the giri, "ex
cept an agitation at our house being
honored by so important a personage
as the commauder in chief."
"I fear you are exaggerating. Is your
father within?"
"No. general. He went to Elizabeth
town tills morning. We do not expect
his return till late this evening."
General Washington thought a mo
ment. then said:
"Do you think you could deliver a
message to him when he returns?"
"1 fear, general, that I am a bit flus
tered at the honor of this call. I may
not give your message aright."
"Mow Is it. Mistress Dorothy, that
notwithstanding tills high honor which
you consider done yon by the com
mander in chief you permit him to
stand without invitation to enter?"
"Pardon me. your excellency; 1 did
not suppose that you would stop after
bearing father is not ot home. Will
you le pleased to enter?"
"Only for the purpose of writing a
message slice you are not minded to
deliver It verbally."
The girl led the general into the Mv
_Jng room. where she left him for a few
minutes to go for writing paper and a
quill The general after sharpening
the quill with his penknife sat down
at a table, wrote his message, sanded
it then took it to a window to read It
over The window was draped with
heavy damask curtains, and his excel
lency In order to get a better light
moved one of them aside. In doing s<
his arm encouutered a resistance otb
er than wood. Throwing back the cur
tain, be exi>osed a young man in the
uniform of a lieutenant in the British
arm.v
The reason for Dorothy's agitation
and unwillingness to admit him flashed
ujion Washington at once.
He regarded the young man sternly,
then rurned his gaze on Dorothy, who.
white as a cloth, was supporting her
self by a mantel over the great stone
fireplace. The general saw at once that
he had discovered a pair of lovers.
"Don't fear. Mistress Dorothy." he
•aid. "Fortunately your guest is In
uniform. Had he come without the In
Elgnin of his office it would have been
my duty to have dim arrested and tried
for being within our lines as a spy
His object tn coming is only too ap
parent - not to took at our forces and
our equtpmeut to carry information of j
It to General Howe at New York, but j
to feast his eyes on a very charming j
young lady " Then to the officer he j
continued: "My position as an officer |
in the Continental army does not re- j
quire me To make a mountain of a |
molehill by accusing you of Intentions |
which you have not, but it does re j
quire me to take you into custody, j
Yet even that need not Inconvenience j
yon or shorten your visit You are j
my prisoner. Give me your name and j
rank."
"1 am Lieutenant Ralph Harding ot j
I his British majesty's th regtmeni j
of foot"
"Very well, lieutenant Now give
me your word of honor as an office*
and a gentleman that as soou as you
have finished your visit to my esteem
ed friend. Mistress Dorothy Hughes,
you will proceed to the British lines >
and will not bear arms against the
Continental forces until you have been
dnly exchanged."
An expression of relief, which was r
reflected in Dorothy's features, appear i
ed on the young man's face as he gave i
the required promise. Washington r
went to the table, wrote something and r
handed It to him. It read as follows; j
Pass Lieutenant Ralph Harding or the r
British army without our lines. i
Lieutenant Harding turned his eyes
(from the paper to the man who gave it r
"General." be said, "1 don't wonder r
that the Americans revere you. Ac- j
cept my heartfelt thanks."
Then the commander in chief handed j
the message he had written to Dorothy j
and was turning to leave the room j
when she threw her arms around his [
Beck and sobbed her thanks.
Within a month Harding was ex jj
changed for an American officer ot [
pqual rank. j-

TURK GOVERNOR VOWS
TO PAINT TOWN RED
WITH BRIRTISH BLOOD
London, March 19 —The text
7 \
>f an alleged proclamation, issued
it Smyrna by Rahmy Bey, the
Turkish governor, threatening to
nassacre the foreign residents of
the city, is given by the Daily Tel
egraph's Atheas correspondent, as
follows:
' ; By the grace of the Almighty ;
the enemy's attacks will cost dear
ly. A defense equal to that made
by the forts, and more terrible will
be organized against the enemy
within the town.
"The town will be painted from
end to end with the blood of the
enemy, who will see his attempts
brought to naught. The transfor
mation of the town into a battle
field will be worthy the grandeur
of Ottoman history."

FOG WIRES TO AID SHIPS.
Practical Demonstration Is Given
Showing How Powerful Electric Volt
age Will Detach Particles of Carbon
and Other Material Substances From
Gases Passing Up a Chimney.
A means of making Pittsburgh a
spotless town, of doing away with
London's fogs and of enabling safe
navigation in thick weather was out
lined in three papers read before the
; members of the American Institute of
, Electrical Engineers at the closing ses
sion of the convention in New York,
j Electrical precipitation, a method first
practically applied by Sir Oliver Lodge
of England, was stated as the solution
of these problems.
A practical demonstration showing
how a powerful electric voltage will
detach the particles of carbon and oth
er material substances from the gases
passing up a chimney, thereby doing
away with the objectionable smoke,
was given in the auditorium. A quan
tity of lampblack was blown up
through a fifteen foot smokestack plac
ed on the platform. The flying parti
cles filled the air. Then 50,000 volts
were turned on, and at once the lamp
black attached itself to the interior of
the chimney and the air cleared.
By adjusting the voltage to the size
of the smokestack to be treated facto
ries will be made smokeless, lt was
said, and thousands of dollars that are
now lost through smoke damage will
be saved.
Moving Pictures of Fogs.
Moving pictures of fogs and clouds
and their elimination as produced by
electricity have been taken, ;t was
said, to show the practicability of the
plan to free London from the grip of
the dense fogs and to eliminate a men
ace of sea travel. At the present time
Sir Oliver Lodge is said to be working
on a plan by which London will be
strung with wires through which a
high voltage will be passed and the fog
cleared away. Engineers at the meet
ing agreed that the plan was not im
possible and expressed great interest in
the work.
An unusual idea was suggested for
removing the fogs from about ships at
sea. A small aeroplane electrically pro
pelled from a ship will fly about two
boat lengths in front of the liner during
the fog. From the flying machine will
be strung a high powered electric wir®
reaching back to the ship. The cur
rent passing through the wire is ex
pected to cause a precipitation of the
moisture In the air and clear a channel
some 2,000 feet in advance of the ship
and to some extent on either side
through which the ship may safely
pass. This will enable the lookouts to
detect another ship approaching in
time to maneuver the liner out of dan
ger.
The patent rights on the discovery
are owned by the Smithsonian institu
tion at Washington and the Mellon In
stitute of Industrial Research of Pitts
burgh. The income on the patents will
be devoted by the institutions to fur
thering research work on scientific sub
jects, it was said.
The papers "dealing with the discov
ery were read by Dr. W. W. Strong of
Mechanlesburg, Pa., Arthur F. Nesblt.

the University of Pittsburgh and elec
trical engineer of the Mellon institute,
