Mifflin & Co, nod publiKh&l by arrangement with ffatetul to Thankful as was (hr idea of being oornmiheniU-il, she neverthelesa eould not reslat the gentle courtesy and gracloua sympathy of Misa Schuyler. Be sides, It must be confessed that for the first time in her life she felt a doubt of the power of her own independence, and a strange fascination for this young gentle woman whose arms were around her, who eould so thoroughly sympathise with her, and yet allow herself to be snubbed by Lady Washington, “Vou have a mother, I doubt not?” •aid Thankful, raising her questioning •yes to Miss Schuyler. Irrelevant ns this question seemed to the two gentlemen, Miss Schnylcr an swered it with feminine intuition: ‘‘And you, dear Mistress Thankful” ‘‘Hare none,” said Thankful; and here, I regret to say, she whimpered slightly, at Which Miss Schnyler, with tears in her own fine eyes, bent her head suddenly to Thankful's ear, put her arm alxnit the waist of the pretty stranger, and then, to the aatonishment of Col Hamilton, quietly swept her out of the august pres ence. When the door had closed upon them, Col. Hamilton turned half smilingly, half Inquiringly, to his chief. Washington re turned his glance kindly bnt gravely, and then said qnletly: “If your suspicions Jump with mine, colonel, I need not remind yon that it In a matter so delicate that It would be as well If yon locked It In your own breast for the praaent; at least, that you should not In- ttmats to the gentleman whom yon may have respected, aught that has passed this •rening. ” “As yon will, general,” said the sub altern respectfully; “but may I ask"—he hesitated—“If you believe that anything more than a passing fancy for a pretty “When I asked your silence, colonel,” taterrupted Washington kindly, laying his *■ * upon the shoulder of the younger “It was because I thought the mat- oActently momentous to claim my i private and especial attention.*' “I aak yoor excellency’s pardon," said ‘ young man, reddening through bis Uke a girt; “I only — , ik to be relieved to* In tempted Washington, with n »0a, ‘‘forasmuch as yon wished to show entertainment to our fisnr friend Miss Behnyler, and her guest; • wayward gtoi. colonel, but, me thinks, an honest one.

Later in the yvoning Mistress Schnyler •o far subdued the tears and emotions of Thankful that she was enabled to dry her eyes and rearrange her brown hair In the qnalnt little mirror in Mistresa Schuyler’s chamber, Mistress Schnyler herself lend ing a touch and suggestion here and there, after the secret freemasonry of her sex. "Yen are well rid of this forsworn cap- tola, dear Mistress Thankful; and me- thinks that with hair aa beantifnl as yours, the new style of wearing it, though a modish frivolity, is most becoming. I assure yon 'Us much affected in New York and Philadelphia—drawn straight hack from tha forehead, after this man ner, aa you see.” Tha result was that an hour later Mis- treos Schuyler aad Mistress Blossom pre sented themselves to Col. Hamilton iu tha reception room, with a certain freshness and elaboration of toilet that not only quite shamed the young officer's affaire ncgllgOHce, bnt caused him to open bis eyes to astonishment. “Perhaps she would rather bo alone, that sha might in dulge her grief," he said, douhtingly, in to Mlso Schuyler, “rather than appeal In company.' "Noasense,” quoth Mistress Schuyler. Is a young woman to mope and sigh be- her lor WM • lover proves false?' “But her father Is a prisoner,” said Hamilton, iu amasement. “Can you look mo In the face,” said Mistress Schuyler, mischievously, “and tell me that you don’t know that In twenty-four hours her father will be cleared of these charges? Nonsense! Do you think I have no eyes iu my head? Do yon think I misread the general's face nad yoor own?” “Bnt, my dear giri,” said the officer, in alarm. “Oh11 toM her so, but not why,” re sponded Miss Schnyler with a wicked look fa her dark eyes, “thongli I had warrant enough to do so, to servo you for keeping a secret from me!” And with this Parthian shot she re turned to Mistresa Thankful, who, with her face pressed against the window, was looking out on the moonlit slope beside the Whlppany river. For, by one of those freaks peculiar to the American springtide, the weather hai marvelously changed. The rain _ \ ' the ground was covered With an leteg of aleet and snow, that now i uadar a dear sky aud a brilliant northeast wind that shook of the windows had trans- tree and shrub to Silvered under the bluff, hearty, middle i •awdttMMvafcvto m right, ladles, ' said a Joining ‘But God aud spare I My lady •uough, guttering fa bull doubt not she a poor fallow fa ye saen the Con- ftio by last night, m —fw aa »d— at ms exscueucy. bite; had ye these doubting Thomas—, ripe bellion against his excellency, cause, but chiefly against the . yo would pray for a ' melt the hearts of tbsM. these stubborn fields around aa. Two weeks more of snob weather would reiae up not one Allan Brewster, but a doten ! snrh malcontent puppies ripe fbr a drum bead court martial.” “Yet 'Us » fine night, Gen. Sullivan," fcaid Col. Hamilton, sharply nudging the ribs of his superior oflcer with his elbow. “There would be little trouble on such a . night, I fancy, to track our ghostly visi tant.” Both of tbe ladies becoming in terested, and Col. Hamilton having thus adroitly turned the flank of his superior ' olJIcer, he went on: “You should know that the tamp, and indeed the whole lo cality here, is said to be hannted by the apparition of a gray coated figure, whose face is muiflcd and hidden in his collar, but who has the pa—word pat to his lips, and whoHC identity hath baffled the sen tries. Tills figure, it Is said, forasmuch — it has been seen just before an assault, an attack, or some tribulation of the army, is believed by many to be the genius or guardian spirit of tho cause, aud, — such, has incited sentries and guards to greater vigilance, and has to some seemed a pre monition of disaster. Before the last out break of the Conuecticnt militia, Master Graycaat hannted the outskirts of tbe weatherbeaten and bedraggled camp, and, 1 doubt not, saw much of that prepa ration that sent that regiment of faint hearted onion gatherers to flaunt their woes and their wrongs in tho face of the general himself.” Here Col. Hamilton, lu turn, received a slight nudge from Mis tress Schnylcr, and ended his speech somewha} abruptly. Mistress Thankful was not unmindful of both these allusions to her faithless lover, bnt only a consciousness of mortifl- eation and wounded pride w— awakened by them. In fact, dnring the first tem pest of her indignation at his arrest, still later at the arrest of her father, and finally at the discovery of his perfidy to her, she hud forgotten that be was bar lover; she had forgotten her previous ten derness toward him; and, now that bar fire and indignation were spent, only n sense of numbness and vacancy remained. All that had gone before seemed not some thing to be regretted as her own act, bnt rather os the act of another Thankful Blossom, who had been lost that night fa tbe snow storm; she felt she had become, within tbe last twenty-four hours, not perhaps another woman, bnt for the flrat time a woman. Yet It was singular that she felt more confused when, a few momenta later, the conversation turned upon MaJ. Van Zandt; it was still more singular that she even felt considerably frightened at that confusion. Finally she found herself list ening with alternate Irritability, ■>»—» and curiosity, to praises of that gentle man, of his courage, his devotion and bin I rsonal graces For one wild moment hankful fait like the breast of Mistresa fichu; fessing her rudeness to tbs major; hut • conviction that Mlstra— Schnyler would share that secret with Col. Hamilton, that MaJ. Van Zandt might not Uke revelation, and, oddly enough with this, n fading o< unconquerable irritability toward that handsome and gentle young officer, kept her month closed. “Besides," ah* said to herself, "he ought to know, If ho’* such a fine gentleman as they say, Just how I was feeling, and that 1 didn’t mean any rudeness to him;" and with this un answerable feminine logic poor Thankful to some extent stilled her own little heart. Bnt not, I fear, entirely. The was a restie— one to bar; Uke all tmpul- rive natures, the season of reflection, aad perhaps distrust, came to bar upon acts that were already committed, and when to could It part ota fully Th w tha folly of t uarters, 04 shs rion at the headquarters, aff^ha thought, only when It was too late fa remedy It; •he aaw tha-gmcdeKsoe— and discourtesy of her conduct to MaJ. Van Zandt, only when distance and time Rendered aa apology wank and faefikcfibal. 1 think she cried a little to herself, lying In the strange, gloomy chamber of the health fully sleeping Mistre— Schnyler, tha sweat security of whose manifest good- ae— and kindness she alternately hated and envied; and at last, unable to stand It longer, slipped noiselessly from her bod, and stood very wretched and dieconaolate before tbe window that looked ont upon the slope toward tbe Whlppany river. Tbe moon on the new fallen, frigid and untrodden snow shone brightly. Far to the left It glittered on the bayonet of n sentry pacing beside the river bank, and gave a sense of seenrity to the girl that per haps strengthened another Idea that had grownup in hsr mind. Since the could not sleep, why should she not ramble about until she could? She had been accustomed to roam about the form in all weathers and at all times and seasons. She recalled to herself the night—a tem pestuous one—when she had risen In seri ous concern as to tbe lying in of her favor ite Alderney heifer, and how she had saved the life of tbe calf, a weakling dropped apparently from the clouds In the tempest, us It lay Ijcside the barn. With this in her mind she donned her dress again, and, with Mistress Schuyler’s mantle over her shoulders, noiselessly crept down tbe nar row staircase, passed the sleeping servant on tho settee, and, opening the rear door, in another moment was Inhaling tbe crisp air and tripping down the crisp snow of the hillside. But MU tress Thankful hod overlooked one dHTertuce between her own farm and a military encampment. She hod not proceeded a dozen yards before a figure apparently started ont of tho gronnd be neath her, and, leveling a bayoneted mus ket across her path, called “Halt!” The hot blood mounted to the girl’s cheek at the first imperative command she hod ever received In her life; nevertheless slie halted unconsciously, and without a word confronted the challenger with her old audacity. “Who comes there?” reiterated the sentry, still keeping his bayonet level with her breast. “Thankful Blossom," sha responded promptly. "Tkmnkful Blottom.” «•« rerpoadad. The sentry brought fcls musket to a “present" "Pass, Thankful Blossom, and God send It soon and the spring with It, and good night,” he sold, with a strong Mfleelsn accent And before the still amazed girl eould comprehend the mean ing of bla abrupt challenge, or hie equally abrupt departure, he had resumed Ids monotonous pace In the moonlight In deed, as she stood looking after him, the whole episode, the odd unreality of the moonlit landscape, the novelty of her ♦ V#* ealtoup rt# tssM* * V ~l« +■-» at might explain. <rf this faetfag stfD _ Mr way to the river.

Thankful scarcely breathed. The brave little heart that had not quailed be fore the sentry’s leveled mnsket a mo ment before now faltered and stood still, — the phantom with a slow and majestic tread moved toward her. She hod only time to gain the shelter ot a tree before the flgqge, majestically uncon scious of her presence, passed slowly by. Through til her terror Thankful w— still true to a certain rustic habit of practical perception to observe that the tread of the phantom was quite audible over the cruet of snow, and was visible and palpable aa the imprint of a military boot The blood came back to Thankful’s cheek aad with It her old audacity. In another instant sha w— out from the tree and tracking with a light feline tread the apparition that now loomed up the bill before her. Slipping from tree to tree, she followed It until it passed before the door of a low hut or farm shed that stood midway up the hilL Here It en tered and the door closed behind it. With every sen— feverishly alert, Thankfnl, from tbe secure advantage of a large ma- K , watched the door of the hat. In a r momenta it reopened to the same fig nre free of Its gray enwrapplngs. For getful of everything now bnt detecting the face of tbe impostor, the fearless girl left tha tree and placed herself directly in the path of the figure. At tbe same mo ment it turned toward her Inquiringly, and the moonlight fell upon the calm, composed features of Gen. Washington. In bar consternation Thankful could only drop an embarrassed courtesy and hang oat two lovely signals of distress in her cheeks. The face of the pseudo ghost alone remained unmoved. “You are wandering late, Mistre— Thankful," he mid at last, with a pater nal gravity; “and I fear that the formal restraint of a military household baa already given yon some embarrassment. Yonder sentry, for Instance, might have stopped you." “Ok, he didt” sold Thankful quickly; “but It's all right, please your excsllsnoy. He asked me ‘Who went there,' sad 1 told h|m; and ks w— vastly polite, I as sure you." Tha gravs faatuius sf the ntmaianilar In-chief relaxed fa a smite. “You are More happy than mart of your -x In tuning a verbal eamnUmeat to practical account For know then, dear young lady, that fa honor of your visit to the headquarters the pa—word to-night through this encampment was none other than yoor own pretty patronymic— Thankful Blossom. ”’ The tears glittered fa tha girl's ey— and her lip trembled: but, with all her readincee of speech, sha eould only say. “Oh, your excellency!” “Than you did pa- too smtryr eoa- ttauad Washington, looking at bar latently withacartafa grave watchfbla—• fa fas grey eyas. “Aad daahttess you waaflssad at tha stvsr beak.

They hod reached the entrance to the mansion, and entered the hali Thankful turned Impulsively, and kissed the ex tended hand of the commander. “Yon are so good!
