E-SHOE ROBINSON
A TACE OF THE TORY ASCENDENCY
BY
JOHN P. KENNEDY
CHAPTER XU<

he Interrogated Horse Shoe as to the
events of the late inroad of the
Tories. He and his comrade had been
stationed upon the path where the
sergeant encountered them, to direct
the out-riding parties of his corps to
the spot of Marlon’s encampment, the
policy of this wary officer being to
shift his station so frequently as al-

left to himself, replenished his pip
and, taking his rifle In his hand, paced
to and fro upon the border of the
road, holding communion with his
own thoughts, carefully weighing the
probabilities connected with his
present singular expedition, and re
volving, after his own fashion, the
fortunes of Arthur Butler and Mildred
Lindsay.
It was within an hour of midnight,
when the sergeant’s meditations were
interrupted by the tramp of a horse
approaching the hut at a gallop. But
a few moments elapsed before a
traveller, who, in the star-light Horse
Shoe could discern to be armed, drew
vt) his rein immediately at the door
of the dwelling, against which he
struck several blows with his weap
on, calling out loudly at the same
time—■
"Mistress Wingate—for God’s sake,
open your door quickly! I have news
to tell you, good woman.”
"In the name of mercy! who are
yon?” exclaimed the voice qf the
dame within, whilst a note^of alarm
was also heard from her fellow-lodger.
“What do you mean by this racbet
and clatter?” demanded Horse Shoe,
in the midst of the uproar, at the
same time laying his hand upon the
stranger's bridle rein. “What brings
you here, sir?—stand back; the wo
men ha^that house are under my
charge and I won’t have them dis
turbed.”
“If you are a friend to Mistress
Wjngate,” said the horseman, stern
ly. "speak the word; if an enemy, I
will shiver your skull with the butt
of my musket.”
“Don’t be rash, good fellow.” re
plied Horse Shoe; “I take it you and
me are on the same side. Whai’s
afoot that you stir in such a hurry?”
"The Tories are afoot—the detdl’s
afoot; Open, Mistress Wingate—open
to Dick Peyton!”
‘‘The Lord preserve us!” ejaculat
ed the mistress of the hovel, as she
opened the door; “Bloody Spur, !•
it you? What ill luck brings you here
tonight?”
‘‘A gang of Tories, Mistress Win
gate, from the Black River, under that
cut-throat Fanning, crossed Peedee
this morning at Lowder’s Lake. They
have been thieving and burning as far
as Waggamaw. and are now on the
roaj home by the upper ferry. They
will be along here in less than half
an hour. Your husband. Bob Win
gate, and myself, were sent out by
General Marion this morning, to re
connoitre the roads. \Ve fell in with
the ruffians, after sun-set, below Lum-
berton. and have tracked them up
here. Bob has got a pistol-shot
through his arm. He was lucky enough
however, to escape their clutches;
but believing they had a spite against
him. and would ride past his house
tonight, he told me to call and give
you warning, and help you to drive
the cattle back into the swamp.”
‘‘How many mought there be,
friend?” ashed Horse Shoe, calmly.
Between two and three hundred, at
least.” said the trooper; “we counted
fifty in the vanguard—those that fol
lowed made a long column of march.
They have stolen a good many horses
and cattle, all of which are with
then), and several prisoners.”
"What, ho!—Isaac, Henry Lindsay;
fall to. and saddle, boys,” shouted
Horse Shoe. “Miss Mildred, It will not
do to stand. I am sorry to break in
upon your rest, but you must be ready
to move in a few minutes.”
Everything about the hut was now
in confusion. Henry and the sergenat
were equipping the horses, whilst
Isaac was gathering up the baggage.
Bloody Spur—to adopt the rider’s
nom de guerre—had dismounted, and
was busy in removing the few articles
of value from the hut; the mother
and children, meanwhile, were pour
ing forth loud lamentations.
Mildred, In the midst of thL scene
of uproar, hurriedly made her prepa
rations for departure; and whilst she
was yet engaged in this care, a con
fused murmur was beard, at some
distance up the road—and the rattle
of sabres, as well as the hoarse voices
and abrupt laughter of men, announc
ed that the freebooters, were at no
great distance from the dwelling.
“Merciful heaven!” exclaimed Mil
dred, giving way for the first time to
her fears; “they are fast approach
ing, and we shall be captured.”
“Sister.” said Henry, with acarce-
ly less alarm, ‘T will die by your side,
before they shall hurt a hair on your
' head.”
Horse Shoe, who at this moment
was tightening the girths on Mildred’s
saddle, paused for an instant to listen,
and then said;
“The wind is northeast, young lady,
and the voice sounds far tonight.
One could hardly expect you to be
cool when one of these night-frays Is
coming on, but there’s no occasion to
be frightened. Now, ma’am, If you
please, I’ll heave you into your seat.
There,” continued the sergeant, set
ting Mildred upon her horse, "you
have got four good legs under you,
and by a fair use of them will be aa
safe as a crowned king. Mister Hen
ry, mount, and ride with your sister
slowly down the road, till I overtake
you.''
Henry obeyed the order.
“Is the portmanteau and the rest
of the baggage all safe, Isaac? Don’t
be flurried, you old sinner, but look
about you, before you start off.’'
“All safe,” replied the negro.
“Up and follow your master, then.

“I have ventured,” said Mildred,
"into the field of war, and It does not
become me to complain that I have
met Its vicissitudes.”
“Galantly spoken, madam! May I
be allowed to know to whom I am In
debted for the honor of this visit?”
”My name is Lindsay; and .my
father resides at the Dove Cote In
Virginia; under the protection of my
brother and a friend, I left home to
travel Into Carolina.”
“A long Journey, madam.” Inter
rupted Marlon; “and you have been

“My sister and myself.” said Hen

“I would call you but an inexperi

gL.i i lone? This question is becom-
widely discussed since L. T.
ooper first advanced his theory that
t no stomach is the true seat of life
•n;d all health dependent upon It.
Mr. Cooper, who has met with re
markable success In 'he sale of his
new medicine, believes (hat the stom
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said; “I am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever I have introduced it. My
answer always is, ‘because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition.
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
just half-sick most of the time. They
don’t know really what is the matter
with them, I have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver com
plaint, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it, for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is ‘all run
down,' or ‘tired all the time,’ or ‘no
appetite.’ ”
“I know positively that every bit of
this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble, and nothing else. My
New Discovery puts the stomach in
sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be sick with a
sound digestion. That Is why my med*
icine is selling at such a tremendous
rate. I have convinced many thou
sands of people that these things are
so, and the number is growing by]
leaps and bounds.”
Among more recent converts to Mr.
Cooper's beliefs is Mr. Edgar L. Hinds,
living at 6 Tappan Street, Everett,
Mass. Mr. Hinds has this to say on
the subject:
“I have suffered with stomach
trouble for eight years. I was not sick
enough to be in bed, but just felt bad
all the time. My greatest trouble was
♦hat I always felt tired, would get up
in the morning feeling as tired aa
when I went to bed.
“I had a very irregular appetite, and
was troubled with dizzy spells. If 1
stood for any length of time, I would
have a dull pain In the lower part of
my back. I was nervous and felt all
the time as though something terrible
was going to happen. I tried many
kinds of medicine, but nothing ever
helped me.
‘ X bad about given up all hope of
ever being in good health again, when
I heard so much of Cooper and de
cided to try his medicine. I took one
bottle of his New Discovery and was
greatly surprised at the result. I
gained 12 pounds In a few weeks. I
can now eat anything I wish, and feel
like a new man. I cheerfully recom
mend this medicine to all sufferer®
from stomach trouble.”
It is worth anyone’s time, who Is not
enjoying good health, to learn of Mr.
Cooper’s wonderful preparations. We
are selling them in large quantities.

In a moment our party was sur

Shoe, unceremoniously dismounting,
addressed the person nearest to him:
“A lady, sir, from Virginia, that I
started with from her father's house,
to fetch to Carolina; but who has been
most audaciously unhoused and un
bedded in the very middle of the night
by a hellish pact of Tories.”

Henry, riding to the front; “my sister

hurrying across the ground in rapid

and everywhere torches were passing
to and fro in all the agitation of a
sudden muster. As soon as Marion
had set this mass in action, he repair
ed to Mildred, and in a manner that
l tokened no excitement from the
general stir around him, he said—
“I owe you an apology, Miss Lind
say, for this desertion, which I am
sure you will excuse when you know
that it is caused by my desire to
punish the varlets who were to ill-

to put you under the protection of a

“I hope as much myself,” replied
Henry.
Marion withdrew, and by the time
tiiat he had prepared the letter and
put it into Horse Shoe’s hands, his
troops were in line, waiting their or
der to march. The general mounted
a spirited charger, and galloping to
the front of his men, wheeled them
into column, and, by a rapid move

little party, attended by one trooper

approach of a person of short stature
and delicate frame, in whose Mep
there was a singular aletness and
rapidity. He wore the blue and buff
uniform of the staff, with a pair of
epaulets, a buckskin belt, and broad
sword. A three-cornered cocked-hat,
ornamented with a buck tail, gave a
peculiar sharpness to his sharp
and naturally decided features;
originally sallow, but now swarthy
from sun and wind. There was a
conspicuous alacrity and courtesy In
the gay and chivalrous tone in which
he accosted Mildred:
“General Marion, madam, is too
happy to have his poor camp honored
by the visit of a lady. They tell me
that the Tories were so uncivil as to

“Take us to the general, and we
