Doubtless Mr. Dobbs ran a ferry there to some point across thp Hudson. He lias passed away long ago, but his name 'remains. There is . another name connected with Dobbs Ferry of far more impor tance—that is, George Washington. One mounting the declivity leading up from the railway station and following the road leading southward will pass a frame house before which runs a wall to which is attached a tablet stat ing that it was the headquarters of General Washington during the Revo lutionary war. One day a country lad named Enoch Weatherby, who was a member of the Revolutionary army and had not seen his best girl in New York city for some time, got leave to go there for the pur pose of meeting her. Being a patriotic youth, he went to General Washington and, telling him what he was about to do, asked the general if he could be of any service to him in bringing informa tion of the British army, which was at that time in possession of the city. The general told Enoch that he very much desired to know how many troops were there, how many cannon and whether any preparations were being made for a movement. Enoch prom ised to gain what information he could. That night the youngster put a load of farm produce in his boat on the river and the next morning started with the outgoing tide for New York. On reaching Spuyten Duyvil creek he turned into it and when he arrived at Kingsbridge, leaving his boat under the bridge, proceeded on foot to the city, some nine or ten miles away. There was a British soldier at the bridge, but Enoch, being loaded with produce, was suffered to pass, and whenever he was stopped on the way a few eggs or a pound of butter was sufficient to pass him. New York was then all at the south ern end of the island, and Enoch's girl, Becky Bleecker, lived at the lower end of Greenwich street, near where it joins the Battery. He found Becky, and she was delighted to see him, for there was little communication be tween the American troops in the re gion beyond Spuyten Duyvil creek and the city. Enoch while in New York was continually going about, counting the guns he saw and estimating the number of the soldiers. One day he made bold to sketch a redoubt in the region that is now Cen tral park and was observed doing so by a sentry. The soldier called the corporal of the guard and by him sent a message to the commanding officer that a man had been seen sketching the works. By this time Enoch had left, and a couple of men were sent to bring him hack. Enoch soon discov ered that he was being pursued, and. though the men most of the time kept him in sight, he succeeded ill reaching Becky Bleeeker's home without being arrested. Becky put him into the great hall clock, he handing her the memoranda he had accumulated, giving her a kiss at the same time, and she had no soon er taken them than there was a loud rap at the door. She opened it, and two redcoats entered, inquiring for the youftg fellow who had just come iu. Becky declared that they must be mis taken. but the soldiers, having seen him close the door behind him, search ed the house. Not thinking to look in the clock, they did not find him. But one man stationed himself at the front of the house, the other at the rear, and Enoch was pinned In. After they had gone outside Becky returned to Enoch, and he bemoaned the fact that he would not be permit ted to take his notes to General Wash ington. Becky was in terror lest the information he proposed to take away ! should be captured "on him andT cause his conviction as a spy. Something must he done before any one came from General Howe and while there were only green soldiers on guard. Becky resolved to walk out with Enoch's notes and drawings in face of the sentinel at the front door. She did ; so. and the man essayed to stop her, hut she gave him a scornful look and proceeded. She had scarcely got out of sight before a member of the staff came with a sergeant and eight men and gave orders that no one should be permitted to leave the house. Enoch had heard the door shut after Becky and thought it best to come hut of hid ing. But. since there was nothing found to indicate that he was a spy, after being held for some time he was Buffered to go his way. Meanwhile Becky, presuming that her lover would not be permitted to go hack to General Washington, made her way to Kingsbridge, where she found Enoch's boat and pulled herself up to Dobbs Ferry. Mounting the hill to the house where Washington was quartered, she told him the story of Enoch's and her adventures and hand ed him the memoranda Enoch had col lected. "When Enoch Weatherby returns, il he does," said the general, "come to gether to see me." Enoch returned Sooner than was ex pected, and when the lovers called on the general he directed his chaplain to marry them and bestowed upon them a handsome wedding present. f • £ X OPPORTUNITY.

"I see," said Bilkins, "that a French scientist has discovered a method for staving off old age." "Well, what of It?" demanded Wll kins. "There's nothing new In that A man can stave off old age by jumping off the Eiffel tower, or dropping a lighted match in a powder barrel while sitting on it, or by rocking the boat when he's out in the water, or by rid ing over Niagara falls sitting astride of a log.

The settings above allud ed to consist of fifty-three sapphires, fifty rubies, one emerald and 33S pearls. It will be noticed that there are no diamonds among these precious adornments. This is accounted for by the oft quoted story of Stephen's aver sion to such gems because he consid ered them "unlucky." A False Alarm.
