In despair at the perfidy of his fiance, and pleased with the beauty and gratitude of the winsome Mollie, he suddenly conceives the idea of marrying her to spite his false sweetheart. With a girl’s love of romance and filled with gratitude, Mollie consents. At this juncture Lady Judith, Ramseu’s old love appears, and causes an estrange ment between Godfrey and Mollie by telling the young wife of her hus band's relation to herself. Humilia ted and heart-broken, Mollie is as clay in the hands of the designing Lady Judith, who convinces her that Godfrey repents of bis hasty marriage and yearns for his old love. At the same time she causes Godfrey to be lieve that his wife has compromised herself with a Captain Lovelace of the British army. By a trick she causes Mollie to place in the hands ot the commanding general information proving her husband to be a spy of Washington. Godfrey overhears his capture being planned bj the British and believing that Mollie has betray ed him, vehi-mentiy reproaches her for her treachery and makes his es cape.
