The Traitor's Child
ItV AtU'ol.A.
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 |

Wc can hardly vonture to doseribo the ;
feelings of chagrin, entertained by the or- )
igiiwl plotter of this expedition, when in- j

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? (..'an you
tell me who sent word (o Washington
respecting this expedition ?"
I Iistl'l- mi :?tit ki ?-i 1111 r I.,.,!, itnrtli tlio
officer, who however did no interfere between
them.
" Did you hear my question ?" roared
Jenning.
"Tell me do you know aught of this?"
"I do!" the girl replied, in a low
tone.
' f thought po ! Xow tell me the person's
name."
' Von ! Serpent! You betray mc !"
" Kather! hear inc. I did send word to
our general that the enemy Were to make
an attack upon the tort, but your name;
was not mentioned as being a party to the
| expedition. No harm can come to you.?

" linou^h that you Iimvo conic between

!"
lie drew from his pock't a pistol and
deliberately aimed it at his child. 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. Is she not your child?"
" No!" cried 1 Kister, with startling emi
phasis. (> I am not or at least, shall not be
