power of her own independence, and a
strange fascination for this young gentle
woman whose arms were around her, who

and yet allow herself to be snubbed by
Lady Washington,

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,

“That eresturar said Lady Waahlng-

sptaln lover 1 Pardon me, bnt
this la preposterous;" and with a stiff
courtesy she swept from tbs room, leav
ing the central figure of history—os such
central figures are apt to bo left—alone.
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

“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

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.

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

until another, and, It a—mod to her,
equally unreal vision suddenly stayed her
feet, and drove the blood from her feverish
cheeks.
• A figure was slowly approaching from
the direction of the sleeping encampment,

ghostly visitant she had heard described.
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

The tears glittered fa tha girl's ey—

'twould have been natural for yon to have

lover In yonder camp, though the attempt
would have been unwise and impossible."
“I had no such thought, your excel
lency,” said Thankful, who had really
quite forgotten her late intention; “yet.
If with your perm 1—ion I could hold a few
moments' converse with Coot Brewster,
it w*uld greatly ease my mind."

sn!>> Washington thoughtfully. “But In

be so ordered that when he is conveyed

him. Aud I think I can promise also.
Mistress Thankfnl, that your father shall

man."
They hod reached the entrance to the
mansion, and entered the hali Thankful
turned Impulsively, and kissed the ex

very, very wrong,” she said, with a slight
trembling of her lip. “And your excel

men were uot spies, but even os they gave >
themselves to be." »
“I sold not that much,” replied Wash
ington with a kindly smile, “but no mat

how fur your acquaintance with these
gentlemen 1ms gone; or did It end with
the box on tbe ear that yon gave the

“He had asked me to ride with him to

faltered Mistress Thankful.
"Unless I misjudge you, Mistress
Thankful, you con without great sacrifice

ington, with pave playfulness.
The swinging light shone full In Thnnk-
ful’s truthful eyes as she lifted them to
his.
“I do,” she said quietly.
“Good night," said the commander,
with a formal bow.
"Good night, your excellency."
