I HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON A TALE OF THE TORY ASCENDENCY BY JOHN P. KENNEDY* Hie alde-de camp chocked his horse, aid grasped her arm, before her broth er could reach her, and Horse Shoe, at the same moment, sprang to the ground and seized her bridle. "I should thinl; it but a decent point of war to keep such sights from wo men’s eyes,” said Robinson, somewhat angrily. "Peace, sirrah,’’ returned the aide, "you are saucy. I trust, madam, you are not seriously ill I knew not of this execution, or I should have spared yo* this unwelcome spectacle. Pray, compose yourself, and believe, mad am, it ffes my ignorance that brought you into this, difficulty.” "I -will not pass it,” cried Mildred wildly, as she sprang from her horse | and ran some paces back towards tae woods, with her hands covering her face. In a moment Henry was by her side. “Nay, sister—dear sister,’’ he said, ‘ do not take it so grievously. The officer did not know of this. There now, you are better; we will mount; again, and ride around this frightful place.” Mildred gradually regained her self- possession. and after a few minutes was again mounted and making a cir cuit through the wood to avoid this appealling spectacle. • Who is this man?” asked Henry of the aide-de-camp, in a half whisper; “and what has he done, that they have hung him?” "It is an every-day tale,” replied the officer; “a rebel traitor, who has broken his allegiance, by taking arms against the king in his own conquer ed province. I keep no count of these fellows; but I believe this is a bold rebel by the name of Adam Cusack', that was caught lately at the Cberaw ferry; and our boobies must be pack ing him off to headquarters for us to •o their hangman's work.” “If we were to hang all of your men that we catch.” replied Henry, “herryj ip an article that would rise in price. “What, sir,” returned the oflicer, with a look of surprise, ‘‘do you class yourself with the rebels? What makes you here under Tarleton’s safeguard? I thought you must needs he frinds, at least, from the manner ot your com- i»g.” "We ride, sir, where we have oc- cB e ion,” said Henry, “and if we ride wrong now. let. his lordship decide that for us, and we will return.” By this time the company had reach ed headquarters, whore Mildred found herself in the presence of Lord f’orn- wallis. ‘‘Though on the wing. Miss Lind say,” said his lordship. • s he respect fully met the lady and hep brother up on the porch of the dwelling-house, “I have made it a point of duty to postpone weighty matters of business to receive your commands.” Mildred bowed her head, and alter a few words of courtesy 0 r. either side, MB a formal introduction of herself and hep brother to the general as the children of Philip Lindsay, “a gentle man presumed to lx* well known to his lord hip." and some expressions of surprise and concern on the part of the chief at this unexpected an- ■opncement, she begged to be per mitted to converse with him in pri vate. When, in accordance with this wish, she found herself and her broth er alone with the general, in the small parlor of the bouse, she began, withji trambling accent and blanched cheek ‘‘I said, my lord, that we were the children of Philip Lindsay, of the Dove Cote, in Amherst, in the pro vince of Virginia; and being taught to believe that my father has some in terest with your lordship—” “He is a worthy, thoughtful, and wise gentleman, of the best consider- tion amonst the friends cf the royal cause.” interrupted the earl, “so speak on, madam, and speak calmly. Take your time, your father’s daught er shall not find nie au unwilling listener.” “My father was away from home," Interposed Henry, “and tidings came to us that a friend of ours was most wickedly defamed and belied, by a charge carried to the ears of your lordship; as we were told that Ma jor Arthur Hutler of the Continental army who had been made a prisoner by your red-coats somehow or other —for l forget how—but the charge ONLY ONE WAY TO RETAIN HEALTH was that he had contrived a plan to carry off my father from the Dove Cote—4f not to kill him, which was said, besides—and upon that charge, it was reported that your people were going to hang or shoot him—hang; I suppose, from what we Just now | saw over here in the woods—and that j your lordship had given orders to have the thing put off until the major | could prove the real facts of the | case.” “The tale is partly true, young sir,” | said Cornwallis. “We have a prison-; er of that name and rank.” “My sister Mildred and myself, thinking no time was to be lost, have come to say to your lordship that the whole story is a most sinful He, hatched on purpose to make mischief, j and most probably by a fellow by the name of ’’ “My brother sneaks too fast.” In terrupted Mildred. “It deeply con- corned us to do justice to a friend In this matter, if my father had been at home a letter to your lordship would have removed all doubts; hut, alas; he was absent, and I knew not what to do, but to come personally before your lordship, to assure you that to the perfect knowledge of our whole family, the tale from beginning to end Is a malicious falylcatlon. Ma jor Butler loves my fathfr, and would be accounted one of his nearest and dearest friends.” % . Conrwallis listened to tnis dis closure with a perplexed and bewil dered conjecture, to unravel the strange riddle which it presented to his mind. “How may I understand you. Miss Lindsay?” he said; “this Major But ler is in the service of Congress?” “Even so. Your lordship speaks truly.” “Your father—ray friend, Philip Undsay. is a faithful and persevering loyalist.” “To the peril of his life and for tune," replied Mildred. “And yet Butler is his friend?” “He would be esteemed so. if it please your lordship—and. in heart and feeling, is so.” “He is related to your family, per haps?” “Related in affection, my lord, and pliehtod love.” said Mildred, blush ing and casting her eyes upon the ground. “So!—Now I apprehend. And there are bonds between you?” “I may not. answer your lordship,” turned the lady. “It only imports our present business to tell your lord- shin that Arthur Butler never came to the Dove Cote but with the purest purpose of good to all who lodged be- neath its roof. He has never come there but that I was apprised of his intent; and never thought rose in his heart that, did not breathe bless ings upon all that inhabit near my father. Oh. my lord, it is a base trick of an enemy to do him harm: and they have contrived this plot to impose upon your lordship’s gener ous zeal in my father’s behalf.” “It is a strange story.” said Corn wallis. "And does your father know nothing of this visit? Have you Miss Lindsay, committed yourself to all the chances of this rude war, and un dertaken this long and toilsome Jour ney. to vindicate a rebel charged with a most heinous device of perfidy? It is a deep and painful interest that could move you to this enterprise.” “My lord, my mission requires a frank confidence. I have heard my father say you bad a generous and feeling heart—that you were a man to whom the king bad most wisely committed b's cause in this most try ing war: that your soul was gifted with moderation, wisdom, forecast, firmness—and that such a spirit as yours was fit to master and comand the rude natures of soldiers, and to compel them to walk In the paths of justice and mercy. All this and more i have I heard my father say, and this I encouraged me to seek you in your camp, and to tell you the plain and undisguised truth touching those charges against Major Butler. As Heaven above hears me, I have said nothing but the simple truth. Arthur Butler neve r dreamt of harm to my ! dear father.” “He is a brave soldier,” said Hen- 1 ry, “ and if your lordship would give i him a chance, and put him before the Young Man with New Theory Says All De pends on Stomach. JL. T. Cooper’s theory regarding the human stomach is rapidly becoming a topic of universal discussion. Cooper claims that the human stomach has become chronically deranged by mod* ern conditions, and that sickness gen erally is the result In a recent Interview, while Intro ducing his medicine in a leading city, Ilr. Cooper said: “ThffiM Is just one v ay, in my opinion, to maintain gen- c-nl health, and that is by building up the digestive organs. The vast ma- jirity of Americans today have weak, flabby, distended stomachs. This has been caused by many generations of < er-feeding and lack of exercise, until today the entire civilized race is af fected. This is the true cause of most of the ill health of today. Little can be done to relieve it until the stomach Is once more brought back to normal conditions. “I am successful because my prepa ration puts the stomach in so; ml con dition, and as I maintain this is the only way to secure general and per manent good health.” Among many prominent people who have recently become converted to Cooper’s theory is Mr. E. M. Howey, of 47% De Russcy Street, Binghamton. N. Y., who says: M 1 had stomach trouble for about six years. After eat ing, I would become bloated and havo a distressed feeling for several hours. This would be accompanied by heart burn, and I reached the point where I could not enjoy my meals at all. thence 40 •. UJO to roek; theaee N. 40 B. 11.40 to roek; theaoo B. 00 8.90 to rook; thence N.
