They were rudely awakened on
Christmas night. Snow was falling
In a bitter northwest wind. It wds no
time for any sane person to be out-of
doors. Colonel Hall. In command at
Trenton, had had a merry dinner and
with other officers and their ladles was
? dancing In the public hall. The fid
dlers were playing, between dances
they could hear the cold wind In the
chimney-top and snow pelting the win
dow-panes. What a night ! '1 hey shiv
ered and gathered before the fireplace
and tilled and drained their glasses
again. It was a night for joy with
nothing to fwlr. About midnight a
uniformed lackey brought a letter to
Colonel Hall who was In command.
.Engaged In a pretty story, he put the
lletter In his pocket. T^n In the
whirl of gaiety he forgot It.
Nine miles from Trenton, a loyalist
woman had seen Washington with two
thousand men crossing the Delaware
In the darkness. She had ridden post
haste through the storm with the
warning, now hidden In the pocket of
Colonel Rail. Who but an American
would think of crossing a big river
tilled with broken ice and marching
nine miles with a storm raging In
which iwo men were frozen to death?
The Europeans were to learn that
lighting for liberty and fighting for
pay were a different kind of business.
At eight o'clock In the morning,
Washington fell on the city with two
detachments. Hall's Hessians surren
dered, while other enemy troops fled
in panic. The whole British structure
on the Delawarp was shatterpd by this
stroke. General Donop's army re
treated. General Cornwallls aban
doned his plan of going to Europe and
took command In New Jersey. Wash
ington occupied Trenton.
Soon Cornwallls and his men came
on to give him battle. On the second
of January, '77. the American com
mander crossed Assanplnk creek and
made a pretense of throwing up In
irenchments. Cornwnllls tried to fol
low and was repulsed by artillery.
Night came and Cornwallls decided to
wait until morning. Washington
slipped away lfi the night leaving men
to keep the campflres burning and to
\ imitate the chorus of picks, shovels,
axes and ox teams at work. At day
light, Cornwallls began to .throw his
cannon balls upon empty ground. He
attacked nothing. The American camp
was deserted. "The d ? d Yankees"
were of course far on their way to
Princeton. Before he could arrive
there that link In the British chain
would be broken and Washington on
his way to safety. Cornwallls had
made a shrewd guess. Four hundred
men were taken at Princeton with
guns and stores. The remainder of
the British force scattered, having
suffered a severe drubbing.
This winter fighting with wounded
men floundering In pools of blood,
unabsorbed on frozen ground, was re
volting. At Princeton the bleeding
Tfras not severe, less than three hun
dred on both sides having been killed
or wounded but the men engaged saw
more blood than they had seen since
the war began. Our men were at
flrst severely set upon and began to
retreat but the Chief rallied them and
they came through with a handsome
victory.
The enlistment period of two regi
ments expired that day. The men
hnd long been looking forward eager
ly to the hour of their release. It
came. Light-hearted they were going
home. They applied for their dis
charges. General Washington met
them with a grave countenance. He
reminded then) that It was a critical
time. Their country and their homes
were now In greater pejll than ever
before. Success depended on tho
dogged faithfulness of this body of
men. He knew that the feet of ninny
were bleeding, thnt all were weary
but relief was nenr.
The men got together for n confer
ence and presently announced that
they had decided to go home. They
were sick of the hardships nnd tho
Mood-letting.
Again Washington appealed to them
and now with very solemn words. A
time had come when each nnd every
man of them should know and foel
that he held In his hands the fnte of
America. Under those circumstances
could they bear the shame of leaving
him and going to their homes? Or
(iwould they continue to be herpes and
$et a needed example to the youth of
our land? Why stop now when the
weary march was nenr Its end?
There were mnny who heard tho
Chief.
Among them was old Amos Earns
worth who shouted : "They won't
leave us. Lord God o* Israel ! A
man that leaves oughter be hung sn'
thar ain't no mistake."
A thousand men began cheering.
Those who sought discharges aban
doned their design and soon fell In
the march to Pluck emln on the way
to Morrlstown.
. It had taken Howe's powerful army
?lx months to drive General Washing
ton across the Delaware, The "good
lighting weather" was gone. Winter
operations In a strange country were
'^knnk meat" to the Kuropean. Wash*
mgton knew it. ,8oon Heath and Put
nam in the Highlands began to threaten
New York, whereupon the British set
out tor that safe retreat where they
could find comfort and security and
be done with unexpected winter dev
Utrles In a treacherous cotint^rslde.
So the American commander In chief
had gained time for needed recupera
tion.
The spirit of army and people had
Improved. The New Jersey folk had,
been aroused to fever heat by out
rages whtch are the Ineyltable result
of occupation by the troops of an
enemy. It was a favorable time for
recruiting, but compared with the
British army* Washington had a feeble
force of men, billeted in Morrlstown.
Soon a British spy was discovered In
camp. His name was Luce. Should
they hang him?
"No," Washington said. "We will
make a wise use of him."
Officers were apparently impressed
by the personality of Mr. Luce. They
llattered him with friendly attentions,
giving him much Information and no
time to visit the billets.
A plan was made under which the
battalions marching out of cover and
returning to it wore paraded three
times before him. False returns on
the number of troops billeted In that
countryside were scattered carelessly
on the desk j>f the adjutant when Mr.
Luce caine to dine alone with him.
In the midst of the dinner, the ad
jutant was suddenly called away. The
spy was now loaded and ready to de
part. An easy way out was prepared
for him. He vanished, taking to Brit
ish , headquarters in New York a re
port of the force in Morrlstown which
Insured Its safety,
\oung Alexander Hamilton was in
great fuvor with the Chief. At a din
ner of the staff Washington called on
him for a speech. The young man
acquitted himself with such wit and
charm that the General arose and
shook his hnnd. After that all the
officers showed him great respect and
the boy was often in their councils.
Summer came. The last detach
ment of the British had left Am boy
for Stat en Island. Burgoyne was ex
pected In northern New York with an
army from Canada.
The most difficult problem of the
revolution now challenged the in
genuity of the Commander In Chief.
He must prevent the formidable army
of Howe on York island from going up
the Hudson to aid Burgoyne. The
force in the Highlands was strength
ened. Putnam had put a powerful
chevaux-de-frise across the Hudson
near Fort Montgomery to prevent
ships from passing and to hold them
under ruinous gunllre. It was an im
mense Iron chain supported by log
booms a few feet apart and securely
anchored to both shores. Two forts
on the river were well manned and
must be reduced before ships could
pass. Beacon lights on Butter hill at
the northern entrance of the High
lands would flash the news of an at
tack to Beucon hill nnd on southward
to Mullender's hill and Snake hill and
the lower Hudson. Howe might win
his way but it would be a slow-footed,
perilous undertaking. Washington's
problem was to detain Howe and en
compass Burgoyne who, once landed
at the head of Lake Champlaln. could
never hope to return. Howe, having
waited long for reinforcements from
Europe, ethharked his army. He
started southward, evidently heading
for Philadelphia.
Washington now said to his Jersey
yeomen: "Go home and do your har
vesting and return as soon as pos
slble."
In a camp almost deserted he sat
down with members of ills staff to
consider the great problem. Plans
for the eneompassment of Burgoyne
were complete when a messenger came
from congress to announce that (Sates
had been given full command in the
north. Washington had ample evi
dence of the ambition of Cates to sup.
plant him and of his unwholesome po
litical Influence. Schuyler, command
ing in upper New York, was a gentle
man to his liking and in the Chief's
opinion quite equal to the task ahead
of him. Still, as usual, he must bow
to the will of congress. (Jutes was a
cunning politician. Morgan's riflemen
and Arnold's brigade were to he sent
north to help him.
CHAPTER XIII
The Coming of Pat and the British
From the North and the Battle.
General Washington wanted reli
able nnd *?arly Information as to the
force of Burgoyne. Colonel Cabot,
eager for news of his sweetheart, had
applied for service In the north. An
express messenger had Just arrived
with a dispatch announcing that Bur
goyne's army expected to embark
from St. John's by the tenth of June.
"There Is a dense wilderness on
either side of the lake." Colin nrfld.
"It would be easy for a man hidden
In a treetop nlong the shore to esti
mate the force. If you will trust me
In the matter I will ?et correct Infor
mation and arrange for relays to ride
night nnd day until It comes to your
hand."
"I will commit to you this undertak
ing, for there Is no man In whose
prudence, energy nnd good Judgment
I have grenter confidence," nnld the
Chief. "You know the northern road
and many peoplo who live on It. You
may prepare your regiment to set out
tomorrow for Bennington, where you
will report to General Stark for duty."
The regiment set out with horses
following laden with bat haggage.
There are Illuminating entries In
Oolln'ft diary as to the northward
journey through Danhury and New
Mllford.
"Bought some leather and many
men resoled their boots by firelight and
Amon put a new spoke In a wagon
whe?1."
MAt Danbury I cleaned Mr. Dun
lany's watch."
"At New Mllford I got a spoon mold
and cast twenty spoons after wo
halted for a night's rest."
At Bennington the regiment became
a part of the big camp of rugged
.mountain men under Stark. Its
march ended on a Sunday In early
June. While It waited for the bag
gage wagons, officers and men went
to hear the sermon and Scripture read
ing. Rev. John Allen of Plttsfleld,
whom Colin had met at the Ited Cock
tavern In Rhode Island that night of
the bloodless duel, was preaching. He
told the story of the quarrel with
Conway and quoted what the aide of
Washington hud said as to the sub
lime patience of the Commander In
Chief under discouragement.
"When the leaders of humanity de
cide to leave the old road and take a
new direction, there l^ much halting
and waiting," he said. "The new way
must be cleared of ancient prejudice.
But do not forget that the British
have more trouble In their way than
we have. Courage we need and then
? patience ? divine, far-seeing, super
human patience. We need the courage
ous undying patience of St. Paul,
when the Light of the World was
dickering. Our Washington has It."
Allen was surprised and delighted
when, after the service, Colin shook
his hand and Introduced himself.
"The fighting parson" became a firm
friend of (lie young colonel, and Stark
invited both of them to dinner. Allen's
son was a missionary at a settlement
neur the lake in the north.
"He will help you," said the parson.
"1 will give you a letter to him and
a map of the road and trails. I think
that the British are now embarked.
The Six Nations have gathered neur
the head" of the lake to wait for them.
I think that you had better be on your
way."
Colin left his regiment in command
of the capable Major Humphries and
set out on his northern Journey that
afternoon, stopping at a log inn, when
darkness fell, to rest his mare for
the night. As usual, he "hayed, oated
and strawed her" with his own hand.
After three days In the saddle he
came to the rude hamlet In o deep
valley near the lake where he found
the young missionary. The British
had not yet passed. Young Allen, dis
qualified for military service by lame
ness, was eager for any chance to
help the great cause. The danger
was that the big flotilla might pass
any chosen point in the dnrkness of
the night when a reckoning would be
impossible. It was bound to be a
long, slow-moving procession of sloops
and bateaux. Studying a map of the
lake, they chose 'two stations about
ten miles apart. Allen would await
the Invasion on a point near, his
home, Colin on an Island some ten
miles northward.
That evening, with his destination
In view, Colpnel Cabot set out for It
in a small bout. It was a lonely
l8laud covered thick with pine, spruce
and hemlock. Its southern end dwin
dled to a narrow stony point. Apart
from the forest, where the land be
gan to taper, stood the stub of a lone
hemlock. Its upper part, shattered
by lightning, hud fallen In the wind.
It now lay splintered, decaying In the
shallows. Ho concealed his boat In
bushes and I07 down with his blanket
on a carpet of pine-needles and had a
restful sleep.
At daylight he climbed some ten
feet to the ragged top of the stub and
found, as he expected, only a shell of
sound timber that enclosed a mass of
damp decay. He began to throw It
out and soon discovered that It crum
bled and packed under his weight un
til he had a firm footing and comfort
aide accommodation for his stature
inside the shell. Opposite his eyes,
with his knife, lie made two holes
like those of a woodpecker, fronting
both channels. This little timber
tower, with Its diminutive windows,
offered an ideal opportunity to view
die passing of Burgoyne's army.
For two days, from dark to dark, he
sat many hours in a treetop ftke a
bird, looking northward for signs of
the coming caravan. Soon after sun
rise on the third day he saw a new
island with silvered edges and white
towers in the distance. He watched
It through his glass, thrilled by the
thought that in the great procession
moving toward him was a fragment of
mortality which had filled his later
life with inspiration. Vast beyond
his expectation was that endless flo
tilla streaming down out of the north
on the smooth, wide, water alloy be
tween high mountain ridges. Its
length waved backward Into dim,
misty reaches of the lower lake.
When It had come within a mile or
so of his Island, Colin went to his
station In the hollow stub.
Before the front of the long proces
sion was ahreast he heard a hand
playing merry music. The flotilla
was led by painted Indians in canoes.
Soon he saw the first rank of the im
mense bateaux, each about forty reet
In length and some s?ven feet wide,
and each worked by four men? head
and stem men and middle men. What
a colorful, Impressive pageant was
this moving down through the prlme
vol wilderness with regimental flags
flying! High-hatted British grenadiers
In red coats and white breeches;
(Jermans In blue helmets, topped with
gleaming metal, ond in yellow
breeches; women, hundreds of wom
en, some In goy attire; blue veils,
white veils, and many children; oxen,
horses, wagons, tumbrels, cannon;
happy voices like those of a crowded
street In I/ondon town. The flontlng
caravan was flanked by six ninety ton
sloops.
Through the long summer day Colin
stood In Ids wooden tower counting
and making noted. It was a trying
day, with only a moment of anxiety
when a soldier amused himself by
shooting at the peek-hole In the tower.
Fortunately, Colin Imd seen his pur
pose and stooped In time, or that shell
of hemlock would have been his tomb.
Only a bit of dust fell on his head.
He waited a few minutes before re
suming his work. The suu was low
when the last rank of bateaux In the
vast caravan passed him. Its many
voices grew dim In the distance as
the light of that long day faded Into
gloom. He had counted nearly eight
hundred of them and had a fairly
correct estimate of the fighting men
eight thousand. He wondered at
the number of women and children.
There were some twelve hundred of
them and more than a hundred musi
cians.
Night was falling. StlfT and sore he
came out of his hiding place, hauled
his hoat into water and put his
strength on the oars. He thought of
I'at and the ladles with her and of
the unexpected perils and hardships
ahead of them ? swamps, log-strewn
forests, briers, black tiles, mosquitoes,
savages, some of whom would surely
be Infected with smallpox. He was
opposite the center of the long flotilla
when he reached Alleu's point at nine
o'clock. In the missionary's house he
wrote a report to General Washington
and half an hour later was In his sad
dle hurrying southward. In the morn
ing he mounted a fresh horse at a
furm, arranging for his own to be
sent on to Bennington. That night
he arrived at Stark's headquarters
and within ten minutes a mounted
courier was on the south road with
Colln's. dispatch.
After a few days' training with
General Stark he received an order
from the Commander in Chief to go to
I-ort Tlconderoga and report as soon
as possible on the plans of the Brit
ish. On his Journey he spent a night
at Skenesborough, where he found a
force of Americans. lie learned that
Burgoyne's army Was advancing to
Invest the fort. There he met the
scout Israel Sapp, who told him that
Mrs. Bowl by had sent her children to
a friend in Albany and was earning
big wages driving an ox team for the
enemy. Was it her interest In ro
mance which had taken her to the
British camp? ,The inn was closed
and Sergeant Sapp had found accom
modation In the house of a one-armed
mill-hand of the name of King. Colin
spent the night there. While he sat
at the breakfast table next looming
there came an abrupt change In the
situation.
"Has St. Clair fortified Sugar hill?'*
he asked.
"No," Sapp answered. "Not men
enough there to do it."
"Then Tlconderoga will fail. The
hill commands the fort."
"Congress has not provisioned it for
a siege."
Their talk was Interrupted by the
roar of cannon.
"It's the British gunboats," said
King. "I don't know what we will
do. My wife is near her time and
sick In bed. I cannot move ontll she
Is out of the straw."
The cannonading Increased. King
arose from the table to go out-of
doors. Suddenly a cannon ball bound
ed through a window and against the
leg of Sergeant Sapp, breaking It and
crashing through a door.
"My G ? d I" said Sapp. "If it was a
battle I wouldn't mind, but I hate to
lose a leg eating breakfast."
Colin helped King to set the bone
and put splints on the leg of the
wounded man. That done he mounted
his mare and set out for the fort.
Soon he came upon St. Clair's little
army In retreat. Congress had failed
to provision them. They would have
been starving within a week. So they
had to quit the fort.
Colin set out for Stark's camp with
a heavy heart. He wrote his dispatch
when he halted to give his ninre an
hour of rest that evening and rode
on until he came to a log inn at mid
night. He wns up and off nt day
light.. Before he had put his horse to
hay at Stark's camp an express rider
was clattering down the road with his
dispatch toward the first relay twenty
miles beyond. So the disheartening
news went on to Washington. Scon
John Adams was snylng; "We shall
never succeed until we hnng a few
genernls " It was a hasiv remark.
He would better have threatened the
necks of n few politicians.
A few days Inter an address to the
troops came from General Washing
ton. It wns posted at headquarter?
and rend to ofllcers nnd men oh Sui*
dny by Parson Allen. "Our situation
before has been unpromising nnd has
changed "tor the better." It said. "If
new difficulties arise we must keep
our courage nnd put forth new exer
tions"
"Thus the unconquerable spirit of
our great Commander has come up
to us through the hills and valleys."
said Allen. "It has gone out to all
his embattled hosts. Do ye not feel
his God given patience? Get It In
you. Hesolve to die for it if neces
sary and the British will never pass
us. We must all die soon or late. I
shall be glad to die not of weakness,
but of eournge when my hands nre
strong nnd life Is denr to me, unde
fented, proud that I have given it for
a thing far better than I."
The British did not pass. They
made a thrust at Bennington and were
turned back with heavy,., loss and the
parson "fought like a wolverine."
Colonel Cabpt and hts regiment had
no part In the battle. I,ong before It
was fought they were sent to Albany
to report to Arnold for duty In hla
campaign against St. Leger coming
down from the northwest. So they
moved southward to strengthen th?
little army soon to engage In a hlg
I undertaking.

BANKERS IN HISTORY
We get tiie name "bank" f mm t h f?
German "bank" (Frencli, banque;
Italian, banca), a bench, u table for
changing money. 1 suppose tho
"money changers" you read about In
tho Bible ran that kind of a Iruik.
The encyclopedia says, "The mod
ern banker Is a dealer In credit,
while In ancient times the so-called
banker was a mere custodian of the
funds of others and a buyer and
seller of foreign moneys." ? St. Louis

POISON
in Your bowels!
Poisons absorbed into the system
from souring waste in the bowels,
cause that dull, headachy, sluggish,
bilious condition; coat the tongue;
foul the breath; sap energy, strength
and nerve-force. A little of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, harm
lessly, in a hurry. The difference it
will make in your feelings over night
will prove its merit to you.
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation
for over forty-seven years. This long
experience enabled him to make hi*
prescription just what men, women,
old people and children need to make
their bowels help themselves. Its
natural, mild, thorough action and
its pleasant taste commend it to
everyone. That's why "Dr. Caldwell's
