The energies of the American troops sta- i tioncdat Fort Washington alter their ova- ; euation of New Vu.k, were fully taxed to repel the. many sorties inadc by the enemy against them. It required a constant and careful watch upon the part of tlio Comma 11der-in-ehief to prevent a surprise, and the i more surely to effect this, a system of ob- ! servation was maintained along the road, so that information passed from point to j iioint, was sure to reach the c imp ere the j Jritish eould earry out their designs. The majority of persons living on the line from the city to Kingbridge, gladly aided in this plan of police, and thus rendered essential service to the cause. One of this number, however, a Mr. denning, at last took umbrage from some order of Washington or his subordinate, and with a reprehensible cunning, he determined to abandon the Americans, and serve the interests of the foe. So seernt.lv \Vi>rr? nlano nnnrtitnt cd and carried out that no one outride of Lis own family suspected his disaffection. Tho British general accepted the offered services, ami pledged hhnself to pay largely for them, it wuh proposed that a number of his troops should inarch os far as his neighbors, who would, of course communicate their movements to denning, who in his turn, instead of passing tho warning, was to conceal the forces until reinforcements could arrive, and a formidable demonstration could be made against the fort. " And for this service, in any event you shall have a thousand pounds," said the British genofal to the traitor. ".Should it eventuate in the entire overthrow of the rebels, tho sum shall bo trebled, while other rewards shall be freely bestowed. You urg certain that you have .'oulidcd tho matter to no one ?" ' Not a soul,save those of my own family know of it," Jcnninp replied. "Of whom docs your family c msist !" " My wife, who is au invalid, and an 011Jjy daughter." " How arc thoyaffectcd by you change!" i " I know not, nor do I eare. Hut of rrijursi; iney win ioiiow my wishes, winch , !?:?vo ever been law to them. .My daugh- | for is the only one who would think of a , difference of opinion, and even she would , nover dare to give it expression." " I have heard that the majority ot' your j American fflmales have imbibed a sort of romantic attachment to George Washington which might lead them to sympathy with him, but of cour.sc you arc mire of your child, and can answer for her." " Willi m v !i!" ' Supposo you allow me to invito lier , here. ft would be a safe tiling, and at tho j same time remove her from the suspicion j of collusion should you be discovered." "I cannot part with her, jnr! She has aided me heretofore and can do so again, i She is very obedient, wo need not fear her." j " ICnough ! Manage tho matter yourself. 1 am content! Now for our plans.? 1 To morrow at dusk a company of Captain J Trevor's command will be put in motion, | and arrive about midnight at your house. . Vou will conceal them and await) the 08I1ers. When they are all gathered you will guide them to the-attack. The rebels be- ' ing off their guard will fall an easy prey!" So far as the inf-enfioti*of the ftrtfefoh j officer was concerned, the yiedltated plans wore carried out, a number of pick men I were concealed at the hovrecof Jenrihigand at a proper time marched towards their destination. Under the cover of the night Miey had proceeded to the next station on the road, when their advance was suddenly cheeked. A sharp rattle of musket balls which | jtrnntnAfl fj* l?ov*o V.nftn A ? 1?! ?V"H.VM vy wv\ii? lllOt.1 iiUUVO , theiv heads, broijght them to an itnniodi- j ate halt.

Whirc lu; | & I * i,* * * I wi'.m thus storming mid invoking muled iufions Ojhhi the head of the Culprit, a fair I girl entered the apartment. There was a | look of intelligent lirmncss upon her pah: ! eounteuuncc, a? lior eyes met those ot' her father and quailed not. "Come hither, Hester?'' he cried, " l>o ymi know might of this matter?

She moved not, did not even tremble, but Trevor shocked beyond measure at the horror of tin- meditated doed, sprung towards tli<> wrctch, and raided his arm. The ball grazed licr head and was buried deep in wainscot. "Shame on you man!" cried the officer with indignation. 4' V ould you have her blood on your hands? Of what are juii eompo^cd.
