Law­ rence Joins the minute men. CHAPTER IX.--Continued. "Who are those fellows back there?" I questioned at last, made nervous by the silence. "The boys to the gulch? Jersey militiamen," he explained shortly. "You see there's some of us that can't get away all the time, because of the women and children, and the farm work. Besides, regular soldler- In* don't Just appeal to our sort. So we do our fighting round home in oar own way. However, the most of us manage to have a hand in the real thing once in a while even at that We were over at Oermantown, and down at Brandywlne. Fan-ell's got a commission, but the rest of us are taking our chances. It's neighbor againBt neighbor. Whatever we've got left has been held at the point of the rifle. We're doing our share in this war, an' Washington knows it. Over there to the east 'Red' Pagin, Old Man Kelly, an' their gangs of Pine Robbers, are making the fields red; sometimes they get down this far raiding the farms, but mostly, we're fighting foragers out of Philadelphia, and they're not much better. Half the houses in this country have been burned, and mercy isn't very common on either side. Those lads yonder are not pretty soldiers to look at, but they're wolves to fight, and hungry for It" "They are called on whenever Far- roll wishes?" "Well, yes; those come who can. They're not always the same bunch. Tan see Farrell covers quite a bit of coon try, with a lieutenant in each sec­ tion who Is in touch with the neigh­ bors there. I belong in Camden, and dont go outside very often, but there is a sort of organization all the way between here and New York. When­ ever there Is a big fight on, the most of os get into it somehow. Washing- Con counts on us in a pinch, but most­ ly we're raiding or cutting off British •applies. Say, Major, isn't that those fellows coming?" He pointed Into the east in which direction the road ran, barely revealed by the faint light of the moon for per haps a hundred yards. I looked eager­ ly. and could dimly distinguish a vague shadow on the summit of a dis­ tant rise of land. The shadow moved, however, and as we both stared in un­ certainty, there came to our ears the far-off crack of a whip. We drew farther back against the bank, paus­ ing to make sure there was no decep­ tion. One by one we could perceive those vague shadows topping the rise and disappearing. I counted ten, con­ vinced they were covered wagons, and then the night wind brought to as the creaking of wheels, and the sound of a man's voice. Duval's hand gripped my arm, and to the signal we crept back beyond the crest, and then hurried down to where Farrell had concealed his men. He was awaiting mi in the middle of the road, his short broad figure almost laughable In the moon shadow. "Well, are they coming?" "Just over the crest," replied Duval brusquely. "I counted fifteen wagons." "Quite a convoy, an' worth fighting for. Take the left, Duval; Major, come with me." We drew aside under the protection of a boulder, from where we could see clearly to the top of the ridge. Only for a moment was there silence, the men all about us lying low in their covertB, breathless and intent. Then we heard horses' hoofs and the mur­ mur of approaching voices. Wc could see them quite clearly, as "they topped the crest, the moonlight reyeallng men and horses "so distinct­ ly I could even guess at their uniform. Those in advance rode slowly, four abreast, down into the black shadows, lolling Jn their saddles, voices mur­ muring, seemingly unconscious of any danger, it was easy to comprehend their state of mind. Delavan had been left alone for a week, permitted to sweep the countryside unmolested. He and his command had naturally grown careless, never suspecting their every move had been watched by keen eyed scouts. Now, guarded by Grant's troop, they believed them­ selves sufficiently strong for any emergency; that no force the scat­ tered enemy could gather would ven­ ture upon attack. By daylight they would be within sight of the Phila­ delphia outposts, and serenely confi­ dent In their numbers, the night march had therefore become a mere routtee. I heard Farrell chuckle grim­ ly to himself as he observed the care­ less approach of those advance rid- fathor o, PARRIStl Jr-1 COPYRIGHT AOFCIUB9 & COL 1511 Lady o f Hk Northxfc Mmmmm.,.i im fENKY TllRf IIDA a rr\ -toil section of the wagon train looming over the ridge behind them. The horsemen passed us, the officer turn­ ing in his saddle with an order to close up their ranks. I recognized Grant's voice, and then, sharp as a blow, rang out Farrell's whistle at my very ear. There was a leap of flame from both sides the road, lighting up that gash in the clay bank as though it was an inferno, the red and yellow glow cleaving the night asunder, with ear-splitting roar. I was on my feet my rifle spitting, yet hardly conscious of any act, stunned by the suddenness of the reports, confused by those black figures leaping forward through the weird glare. I saw and heard, and yet it was all a confused1 medley, in which I bore active part while scarce­ ly realizing its significance. It was a fierce hand-to-hand melee so swiftly fought as to be over with almost in a minute, and yet so desperate the narrow roadway was strewn with ad- ies. Frightened horses whirled and ran; wagons were overturned; hem­ med In against the high walls, Ger­ mans and British made one mad effort to extricate themselves; the advance guard came spurring back, pushing blindly Into the ruck, the boyish voice of their young lieutenant sounding above the uproar. But our men were between the two, a compact body, each borderman fighting independent­ ly, but knowing the game. I heard no word of command, no shout of direc­ tion from either Farrel or Duval, yet we ripped them asunder with sweep­ ing rifle butts, and, almost before I could catch a second breath, the few who remained on their feet were help­ lessly trapped. Farrell saw it was ail over, and his whistle sounded again, stilling the uproar. Up to that mo­ ment he was beside me; with the echoing of the shrill blast be had dis­ appeared. It was Duval who emerged from the wreck of the train, demanding surren­ der. "Who commands here?" he shouted. "Speak up quick." There was hesitancy, and then out of the black mass huddled against the bank I recognized Grant's voice. 1 suppose I do; has any one seen Captain Delavan?" "He fell at the first fire, sir," an­ swered some one huskily. Orant stepped forth into the moon­ light, bareheaded, his sword in hand. "Then I am the senior officer," he announced, his voice shaking slightly. "Who are you?" "Camden minute men. Do 70a sur­ render?" He took a long breath, glancing about at the dark shadows. Some one held a lighted torch, the red flame casting a sudden gleam over the sur- under such happy circumstances. But my men are becoming impatient Do you surrender?*' "Under what terms?" he parleyed. "None, but we are not savages. You will be treated as prisoners of war." His hatred of me made him^obati- nate. but the utter helplessness of their position was too apparent to be ignored. Ai Hessian muttered some­ thing in German, apd Grant dropped the point of his, sword with an oath. "Good," I said promptly. "Lieuten­ ant, have your men disarm the pris­ oners." There was no resistance, and the militiamen herded them against the bank, encircled by a heavy guard. Duval singled out the officers from among the others, and brought them forward to where I stood. There were but three--Grant and two Hessians. I looked at them keenly, recalling the slight figure of the young lieutenant with the boy's voice- Could the lad have been shot, or what had become of him? "Are you three all that are left?" I questioned bluntly. "Who command­ ed the vanguard?" The two Hessians looked at each other stupidly, and 1 asked the ques­ tion again before Grant saw fit to re­ ply. His manner was excessively in­ solent "That Is more than I know. We Joined after dark, and I did not meet Delavan's officers." "He vas vat you call maype a vol­ unteer leftenant," added, one of the Germans brokenly. "At Mount Holly we met, yah, and from there he Joined." "Not one of Delavan's men then?" "I dink not; he vas Light Dragoon I haf the vagon guard--the first vag- ons--an' him there. Mine Gottt be come pack vid his mens all right-- slash, shoot--his horse rear np; that vas the last I see already." "The lad got away, with three oth­ ers, sir," broke in a new voice at my back. "They wheeled and rode through us, across the water. We thought the horse guard would get them over there, but I guess 4 they didn't; anyhow there was no firing. The fellows must have turned in un der the bank, and rode like helL" Satisfied as to this incident and not altogether regretful that the boy had thus escaped, I held a short consulta­ tion with Duval, seeking explanation as to why the command had been so unceremoniously thrust upon me. A few words only were required to make the situation clear. Farrell's ability to Injure and annoy the enemy largely depended on his leadership not being known. While taking part in every engagement be always required his lieutenants to represent him in nego­ tiations, so that up to this time, what- % I » Mt 1« a Pleasure to Meet With You ABaln, Especially Under Such Hap­ py Circumstances. DO You Surrender?" They were the Quean's Rangers, the white facings of their coats con-l epicuous, their guns swung at the shoulder in reckless confidence. A young lieutenant Appeared to be |§ command. r Ten wagons passed without a move­ ment or sound from the men lying Mjftcealed almost within arm's reach Of the unconscious guards. Farrell fiever stirred, and I scarcely ventured to breathe. Then there came a squad- r! of Rangers, an officer riding alone rroat 'be black shadow of another rounding faces. It was clear that further resistance was useless, yet Grant temporlzod. "Are you in command?" "No," said Duval; "but I represent the commander." "I deal with the one responsible in this affair and demand terms. Who Is your leader?" Duval smiled, turning his head in­ quiringly. I "I don't think you have much choice," be commented dryly. "How- | ever, perhaps you are not too proud to talk to a regular who outranks you-- I present Major Lawrence, of the Con­ tinental Line." Surprised as I was by being thus suddenly thrust forward into supreme authority, 1 as Instantly understood the purpose, and stepped to the front Grant stared at my face in the gleam of the smoking torch, almost aa though he looked upon a ghost "You!" "Certainly, Captain. It Ib a pleas ure to meet with you again, especially ever the British might suspect, they had no positive proof that he was openly In arms against them. Duval. In turn, taking advantage of my pres­ ence, had shifted the responsibility to my shoulders. But what do you people do with your prisoners?" I asked. 'Send 'em to the Continental lines when we can," he explained, "and if we can't then turn 'em loose. No use paroling 'em, as they consider us guerillas. If I was you I'd run 'em back to the farm house across the creek, an' hold 'em there till we get rid of this stuff. Maybe ifll take twenty-four hours to hide it all, and bum the wagons. Then the.^oys can turn 'em loose, an' there's no harm done. I'd ilk© to take that fellow Grant into our lines--he's a mean pillaging devil--but It's too big a risk; Bristol is about the nearest picket post, and the redcoats have got cav­ alry patrols all along in back of the river." "But I cannot wait here," I an­ swered, impatiently. "Farrell under­ stood that I have Important informa­ tion for Washington, and only came with you tonight because you were following along my route. I've got to go on." "That's aD right; Just give your orders, and we'll attend to the rest WjJjat we want is for these lads to go back to Philadelphia saying they were attacked by a force of militia un­ der command of an officer of the Con­ tinental line. That will give Clinton a scare, and turn suspicion away from us. Grant knows you, I understand, so he'll report tho affair that way. You can be off within thirty minutes." It was easy to grasp the point of view, and I saw no reason for refusing assistance. I gave th%? necessary or­ ders, standing under the torchlight in full view, and waited while a squad of partisans rounded up the disarmed prisoners, and guarded them down the slope to the edge of ttfe stream. Teams were doubled up, and several of the heavy wagons rumbled away into the darkness. Two, too badly in­ jured to be repaired, were fired where they lay, the bright flames lighting up the high banks on either side the road. I found a big black horse, with British arms on the bridle, and a pair of loaded pistols In the holsters, a flneHooklng animal, and came hack into the fire glow, determined to lose no more time. Duval had disappear­ ed, but as I stood there looking about for him to say good-bye, a young country fellow came up hurriedly from out the darkenss. "You're wanted down thar," he said, with the Jerk of a thumb over his shoulder. "The Tory officer wants to see ye." "What officer? Captain Grant?" "I reckon that's the one," indiffer­ ently^ "anyhow I was told to fetch ye down thar. Bannister sent me." I went as he directed down the rutty road, my newly appropriated horse trailing along behind. Grant was pacing back and forth restlessly, but as soon as I appeared within the fire radius, he came toward me. "Can I see you alone?" be asked brusquely. "If there Is any reason for privacy, certainly," I answered In surprise. "What do you wish to say?" "This is a matter strictly between us," evasively. '1 prefer not to dis­ cuss it publicly here." I had a suspicion of treachery, yet was not willing to exhibit any reluc­ tance. "Very good. Bannister," to the par- tisan in charge, "I want a word with Captain Grant, and will be responsible for his safe return." The man looked after us doubtful­ ly, yet permitted us to pass beyond the guard lines. There was a stump beside the ford, barely within the flick­ er of the distant fire, and there I stop­ ped, leaning against my horse, and turned so as to look into the man's face. "Well, Grant," I said, rather sternly. "We are alone now; what is it?" He cleared' his throat evidently uncertain how best to express himself. "Why did you ask so many ques­ tions about Delavan's lieutenant?" he began sullenly. "What were you try­ ing to find out?" CHAPTER X. A Capture. What was the matter with the fel­ low? Could he have sent for me merely to ask that question, Insisting on privacy? There must Burely be some hidden purpose behind this. Yet if so, there was no betrayal in the man's face. His eyes had an angry gleam in, them, and his words were shot at me in deadly earnest "The lieutenant?" I repeated, not prepared for a direct reply. "Why, I hardly know--curioeity largely." He stared at me'in manifest unbe­ lief. 'What do you expect to gain by lying?" he exclaimed sullenly, "You saw him, no doubt, or you .would not have asked what you did." "Certainly I saw him," more deeply puzzled than before at his insistence. "That was what aroused my interest He seemed such a mere lad as he rod* past, and later I heard his voices the voice of a boy." "Was that all?" "AH! What else could you sup­ pose? It was dark, only a little gleam of moon revealed outlines. I couldn't distinguish the face, but when he fail­ ed to appear after the fight I remem­ bered him, and was afraid h« had been hurt Now I want to know what you mean. Who was the lad?" He had seated' himseif on tho stump, and was leaning forward, bis face hidden from the light of the fire. "Well, go on then," he returned finally. "If that's all you saw of htm it's all right" "No, it's not all right," I insisted, aroused by his peculiar actions. "What Is all this mystery about? You told me you didn't know the man." "I said I hadn't seen him, that we Joined Delavan after dark," he COP- "1 ) K Xlta, « 1 Ml /' "If You Interfere In My Perspnal Af­ fairs Aflain I Am Going to Kill You." rected sharply. "But you needn't try to interview me, Major Lawrence," stiffening with anger, "for I haven't anything to say to a spy and leader of guerillas." "You requested this interview; how­ ever, If you are satisfied I am, And you can return to your men. Shall I call the guard?" He hesitate* a moment, bat what­ ever it was which had first inspired him to question me, was too strong to be thrown aside. "Did--did Mistress Mortimer help you escape from Philadelphia?" he asked bluntly. "That is entirely my affair. Why don't you ask the lady herself?" "See here, damn you!" he burst oat "I haven't seen the lady. When 1 got back to the dining room she was gone, and then I was ordered out here. But you knew you were being sought aft­ er, and I cannot imagine who else told you." "You do not exhibit very great faith in the lady--the daughter of a loyalist" He drew a quick breath, suddenly aware that he had gone too far. "It is your sneaking spy methods, not the girl. She is innocent enough* but I suspect you dragged the truth out of her. Now see here!" and hit voice took on the tone of a bully. "You are in power Just now, but yon won't always be. You can't hold me prisoner; not with these ragamuffins. They'll turn us loose as soon as they loot those wagons. I know how they work in the Jerseys. But first I In­ tend to tell you something it will be worth your while to remember. Claire Mortimer is going to be my wife--my wife. War is one thing, but if you in­ terfere In my personal affairs again. I am going to kill you." "Indeed," smilingly. "Is Mistress Mortimer aware of the honor you are according her?" "She is aware of the engagement If that is what you mean. It has been understood since our childhood." rro BE CONTINUED.)
